Ubisoft+ Multi Access comes to Canada through Amazon’s Luna

Ubisoft has revealed that Ubisoft+ Multi Access is now available in Canada, the U.K. and Germany.

The subscription platform allows you to play select Ubisoft games, including Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Rainbow Six Siege, The Division 2 and Far Cry 6, through Amazon’s Luna game streaming platform and on PC via Ubisoft Connect. Ubisoft+ Multi Access was previously only available in the United States.

It’s important to note that Ubisoft+’s full over 100 game library isn’t available with Multi Access. A complete list of streamable titles can be found here (there are 39 games in total). That said, you can stream select games you already own via Luna if you link your Ubisoft account with the platform.

The company says that Multi Access includes the premium editions of titles, DLC, 10 percent off in-game currency and day-one releases.

In Canada, Ubisoft+ starts at $19.99 per month, and Multi Access starts at $22.99 per month. This means that if you’re interested in subscribing to Luna and accessing more than just Ubisoft titles, you’d need to pay $12.99 per month for Luna+ on top of the Ubisoft+ Multi Access cost.

Tarform unveils official renders of jet ski EV concept dubbed ‘Raye’

Electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly gaining popularity and becoming more common on the roads, but New York-based EV company Taraform has its eyes now set on the water. The company has revealed official renders of a EV watercraft called the ‘Taraform Raye.’

The Raye is a concept being tooled around Taraform and is inspired by the manta ray. Taraform clearly has a fondness for the creature as the Raye not only draws its name from the ocean dweller, the EV watercraft has a unique design that draws from the curves and form of the manta ray. Taraform claims that the Raye will be made using recycled carbon fibre or its proprietary plant-based composite.

“The Tarform Raye is an electric jet ski that combines biomorphic design, plant-based materials, and modular technology,” Taraform states on its website. It goes on to claim that the vehicle may be able to achieve a top speed of 80km/h (roughly 50mp/h). The Raye is said to come in two different power and range configurations. Power output is estimated to be from 70 to 120hp. Two battery options are also on the table, providing one or two hours of run time.

However, Taraform has yet to build the Raye as of yet. Currently, the vehicle is still in a conceptual state. Even the design and visual aesthetic are subject to change. At the time of writing, Taraform aims to target a starting price of $68,000 USD (around $93,401 CAD). With this in mind, many of the other specs are under wraps as Taraform seeks to begin the development of the watercraft.

In 2022, Taraform started fulfilling orders for its futuristic-looking EV Luna bike. Much like the Raye, Taraform created a line of Luna bikes that balance elegant design with comfort. The Luna’s fulfillment came after four years of showing off the conceptual designs of the vehicle. Perhaps this is an indication of the Raye’s development timeline? It’s possible that by 2027 we’ll see Raye skimming across the water.

This year, Taiga launches its first electric watercraft, the Orca, which is showed off at the Toronto International Boat Show this year. Comparatively, the Orca can reach up to 104km/h (around 64mp/h) and can produce up to 120kW.

Taraform states that no launch date for production has been set for the Raye.

Chrissy Teigen’s naked salad

Chrissy Teigen has shared a topless photograph of herself in the kitchen.

The 32-year-old beauty – who is expecting her second child, a baby boy, with husband John Legend – appears posing happily for the camera whilst making salad, wearing only a towel wrapped around her waist. Her burgeoning baby bump is on full display while two emojis of salad plates have been superimposed over her breasts to protect her modesty.

Chrissy asked her Instagram followers in the jovial caption: "plz don’t shame me I am a strong proud salad making woman just being natural and trying to live my life (sic)"

The ‘Lip Sync Battle star’ also revealed that later during the same cooking session her plate with the lovingly prepared salad and crusted rack of lamb tipped onto the floor.

Chrissy tweeted: "oh I ate it I don’t care (sic)"

The model – who already has a 21-month-old daughter Luna with singer John – recently quipped her unborn son is a "monster", as she found her pregnancy cravings get out of control.

She joked on Twitter: "This baby is sucking the life from me. Drinking my water, making me dry. Eating my food, making me hungry. Taking my health, making me sick. Why do we create these monsters they want us dead? (sic)."

Meanwhile, the beauty admitted she’s been craving many of the things pregnant women are told to avoid, including cold meats and alcohol.

She said: "I want a cold, Subway deli sandwich at all times. I would love a good margarita, like, a cold margarita."

To curb her cravings, Chrissy has turned to breakfast cereal with cold vanilla coconut milk, and though she’s normally behind the home cooking in their household, she’s letting her 39-year-old husband "take over", even though he isn’t the quickest chef.

She said: "I’m kind of tired and pregnant and he really takes over.

"The only thing I don’t like about him cooking is that it takes me away from him for a long time because he’s very slow in the kitchen. Like, painfully slow.

"And sometimes I can hear him from the living room chopping slowly. But it’s so cute because he loves to do it."

Chrissy Teigen’s bottom ‘rash’

Chrissy Teigen asked her doctor if she could send him pictures of her bottom to find out if she has a "rash" on her butt.

The 31-year-old model has been left concerned by mysterious marks on her derriere, so has sent a text message to the male medical expert she regularly sees in the US to ask if she can photograph her behind and get an expert opinion about her ailment.

She wrote on Twitter: "my doctor was kind enough to give me his number and I’m gonna make him regret this (sic)"

Chrissy posted a screenshot of the messages she had written to her doctor, which read: "Can I send you a picture of my buttcheek. I think I got some sort of bites or rash from snorkeling in Italy.

"I am in London or I would come in (sic)"

While the star – who has 16-month-old daughter Luna with husband John Legend – is concerned about her butt, she also revealed she has been known to wear adult diapers.

In response to a question on Twitter about whether she wears "adult baby diapers" or has ever "thought about it", Chrissy replied: "yes and yes (sic)"

Last month, the ‘Lip Sync Battle’ star admitted she has cried to John in the past because she is unhappy with her appearance.

She said: "I’m in a weird phase where I’m jealous of those bodies.

"My old ass will go on social media, and I will look at the Photoshopping, Facetuning, and the apps – and everything that goes into creating what is now a hit Instagram photo – and I feel insanely inadequate.

"There have been times I’ve cried to [husband] John [Legend], where I felt like I would just never have ‘that’ body. I’ve definitely been really upset with … you know, everyone has a butt now, everyone has curves, and a little waist, and that’s not me."

John Legend’s daughter Luna has brought him and his wife Chrissy Teigen "closer".

The 38-year-old singer has had a strong relationship with the 31-year-old beauty – who he wed in 2013 – since they started dating in 2007, but he admits the 12 months since their little girl was born have been even better for them.

Speaking about fatherhood on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ on Tuesday (04.25.17), he said: "Oh, it’s beautiful, it’s very emotional, and it brings you and your wife closer together."

And the ‘Ordinary People’ singer has revealed the arrival of his first child has filled him with a "different kind of love", and he is overwhelmed with a "powerful feeling" whenever he looks at Luna.

He explained: "It’s a very like powerful feeling to see the product of your love right there in front of you.

"It’s a different kind of love. It’s very pure, it’s unconditional, but they haven’t earned it yet.

"They didn’t do anything, they just exist. You love them completely, but it’s not like built on anything other than … Their existence!"

John has admitted him and his spouse will be "sad" if Luna doesn’t want to spend quality time with her parents when she grows up.

He explained: "Chrissy says, ‘If they don’t want to come have dinner with us when we’re old and if they don’t want to hang out or call us, I’m gonna be so sad.’ We put so much love into this."

And the brunette beauty has praised Luna – who celebrated her first birthday on April 14 – as being "all the best parts" of her and John.

Writing on social media recently, the ‘Lip Sync Battle’ co-host said: "My lovebug. You are all the best parts of the both of us and I cannot believe how much has happened in you first 12 months of life. We love you to the luna and back. (sic)."

John Legend’s songwriting has changed thanks to fatherhood

John Legend believes parenting has changed his music career.

The 38-year-old singer-songwriter has claimed he has matured "a lot" over the past decade and he believes marrying his 31-year-old wife Chrissy Teigen and having 10-month-old daughter Luna has added "new perspectives" and "new layers" to his songs and their subject matter.

Speaking about his songwriting style and how it has differed from his 2004 debut album ‘Get Lifted’ to Fault magazine, the dark-haired hunk said: "I’ve grown up a lot in the last twelve years and had a lot more life experiences. Getting married and having a baby have added new perspectives and depth to the subjects I sing about too. Just from living in the world and seeing more contemporary issues have added new layers to my music which weren’t there before."

And the ‘All of Me’ hitmaker – who married his partner in 2013 – has praised his family for bringing more meaning and "positivity" to his new album ‘Darkness and Light’, and for making him think "more philosophically".

He explained: "I think I’ve always been an optimistic person and I think that streak of optimism runs through each of my albums. I think there is just more depth to what I’m feeling because everything means more to me now I have a wife and daughter. Everything is more significant and I’m thinking more philosophically about things and thinking about life and death a lot more. Before what I sang about were my ambitions of making money, getting girls and having fun which was a lot more selfish but now I have better perspective and depth on what’s really important in life."

And the vocalist is "more excited" about revealing his fifth studio album, which has been described as his "best work".

He said: "The feedback from ‘Darkness and Light’ has been amazing and it has been my best-reviewed album to date. When I was finishing it, a lot of my friends felt like it was my best work and I felt the same so I was more excited than nervous for people to hear it."

John – who starred in the Oscar award-winning film ‘La La Land’ – is desperate to work on more movies in the future.

He said: "I loved it and it was really fun to be a part of it. I loved working with Ryan [Gosling] and I didn’t work much with Emma [Stone] but she’s a wonderful actress and did great in the movie. It was a really cool experience to be part of something so special and meaningful to so many people.

"There will definitely be more acting and producing films as well. We have a production company called ‘Get Lifted Production Company’ and we are the executive producers of ‘La La Land’ and we have a couple of new movies releasing next year."

Chrissy Teigen likes her ‘soft’ stretch marks

Chrissy Teigen likes her "soft" stretch marks.

The Sports Illustrated model has learned to embrace the minor scars left on her body from her carrying her baby daughter Luna -whom she has with her ‘All Of Me’ hitmaker husband John Legend and gave birth to last April.

Chrissy decided to share a close-up photo of her stretch marks on her inner thighs on Twitter after having a few glasses of wine

Alongside the honest picture, she wrote on Twitter: "Whatevs (sic)"

After receiving positive comments from her 3.4 million followers, the busty brunette added: "I do not post stretchies for the praise. I post it because the wine also I like the pattern and they’re so soft (sic)"

Chrissy, 31, recently said she feels much sexier now she’s had a baby and thinks her figure is much more "feminine" since she gave birth.

She said: "I always felt like a bit of a tomboy, and I never looked at my body as particularly sexual – I wasn’t a curvy girl. But to be able to see my body after [I had Luna], and of course you get, like, hips. Finally, for the first time, I feel like I have a bit more of a womanly figure … I think you just feel really feminine."

Chrissy previously opened up about how other mothers have unrealistic expectations about getting back into shape after they’ve had a baby because women in the public eye get a lot more help and support to shape up.

She shared: "Anyone in the public eye, we have all the help we could ever need to be able to shed everything. So I think people get this jaded sensation that everybody’s losing it so quickly, but we just happen to be the ones who are out there. We have nutritionists, we have dietitians, we have trainers, we have our own schedules, we have nannies. We have people who make it possible for us to get back into shape. But nobody should feel like that’s normal, or like that’s realistic."

John Legend missed daughter’s first time meeting Santa

John Legend missed his daughter’s first time meeting Santa.

The ‘Love Me Now’ hitmaker’s wife Chrissy Teigen came up with a creative way to include her husband, who was in the French capital, by printing his face onto a stick and getting someone to hold it over their face for the family’s portrait with Father Christmas and baby Luna.

Alongside the festive photo, the 31-year-old beauty wrote on Twitter: "When your husband is in Paris but you gotta get your Santa on (sic)"

The 37-year-old singer also recently missed out on hearing his eight-month-old daughter’s first words as he’s been busy promoting his new album ‘Darkness & Light’.

The hunky star was disappointed he didn’t get to hear Luna say ‘mama’ or ‘dada’ for the first time.

He said: "She said ‘mama’ the other day. I missed it. She said ‘dada’ as well!"

Despite missing out on some big events in the early days of Luna’s life, John is looking forward to experiencing the adorable little tot’s first Christmas, but he insists he’s not going to shower her with gifts.

He recently said: "We’re not going to spoil her much for Christmas because she’ll have no idea and she’ll have no appreciation."

However, John – who married his model spouse in 2013 – has admitted the couple intend to dress their baby girl in various costumes and do things with Luna to entertain themselves.

He continued: "I think most of the things we’ll do for her for Christmas will really be for us… like dressing her up."

John says they have not undertaken many Christmas rituals in the past and have hinted they intend on ticking a few festive things off their bucket list this year by getting their first ever Christmas tree.

He said: "We haven’t done a family Christmas photo, but we’re going to do a holiday party, we’re going to get the tree, this will be our first Christmas tree, me and Chrissy. We’ve never have had a time when we were home during Christmas because we usually travel to family members, who live in Ohio or Thailand, where her parents lived before.

"This is the first time that we’ve actually been able to be home and have our own tree and decorate our own house for Christmas and we’ve got our baby there to celebrate with us."

John Legend gets Sesame Street to give daughter Luna shout out

John Legend got the cast of ‘Sesame Street’ to give his baby daughter Luna a cute shout out while making a guest appearance on the programme.

The ‘Ordinary People’ hitmaker is to appear in a forthcoming episode of the children’s TV show and got the Muppets, including Big Bird and Elmo, to send a message to his and his wife Chrissy Teigen’s seven-month-old baby girl.

In a clip posted on John’s Instagram account, the Muppets say: "Hello Luna. We love you so much. You are so cute. Kiss, kiss."

The 37-year-old singer hopes that when his little girl is grown up she will appreciate the message from the popular kid’s characters.

He captioned the video: "One day Luna will be very excited by who daddy hung out with today. (sic)"

John’s 31-year-old model spouse was almost reduced to tears watching her husband recording the sweet message for Luna and she can’t wait for her to see it.

Taking to Twitter, Chrissy wrote: "My heart!! I could cry. I cannot wait for the day Luna goes absolutely nuts over this. (sic)"

And the Muppets are not the only ones John is gushing about Luna to, as he recently revealed he bonded with his ‘La La Land’ co-star Ryan Gosling – who has daughter Esmeralda, two, and Amada, seven months, with partner Eva Mendes – over fatherhood on the set of the eagerly-anticipated movie.

He said: "Amada and Luna were both born in April. We talked about it.

"We had just announced that we were pregnant right around when we were filming the movie, so … he definitely kind of shared how joyous it is to be a new father and gave me something to look forward to."

Meanwhile, John is looking forward to Luna’s first Christmas.

He said: "Christmas with Luna is going to be really exciting. It’s the first time at our new house, we’ve never had our own Christmas at home. We usually travel somewhere, go to a family member’s house and we go on vacation. This is our first time actually having a tree at home, in our new place. And we have a new baby. It’s pretty exciting."

John Legend keeps family life ‘fun’

John Legend’s secret to having a happy family is to "enjoy" every moment he spends with his loved ones.

The 37-year-old musician and his wife Chrissy Teigen have been parents to their baby daughter Luna for six months, and the ‘All of Me’ hitmaker says the trick to making things work is to "go out of your way" to make each other happy.

He said: "You just have to try and be with each other as much as you can, cherish every moment. Enjoy each moment. Go out of your way, do fun things together as a couple and as a family. And we try to do as much of that as we can while still working and you know maintaining our careers."

And for little Luna, the couple – who married in 2013 – aim to make "every day" easy for her, as they want to keep her "stress-free and joyous".

The ‘Love Me Now’ singer added: "We just try and make every day as great as we can for her, help her grow into the kind of human we want her to be, and try and make every moment as stress-free and joyous for her as possible."

With his daughter at the age where she may start forming her first words, the ‘Tonight’ musician says he is "excited", and even though she’s likely to say "dada" before she says "mama", he doesn’t view it as a competition.

Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, the musician said: "It is really difficult for them to form the ‘m’ as easily as they form the ‘d,’ so I am not really making it seem like it is some kind of victory for me that she can say the easier thing, but either way I will just be excited when she starts talking."
