EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.

there’s like a 1% chance you’ll care at all about the modern day storyline instead of just rushing through them to get back to your historical stabbing simulator

i've played every main ac title except rogue, odyssey and valhalla and while you can start the series being into the metaplot i do not believe it possible to finish it being into the metaplot

gross dude

Valhalla is real fun and challenging in parts but much like every other asscreed you get enough stuff and points and it's just a slaughterfest

i remember one of the bosses being hard but i was half in the bag at that point

the desmond stuff in 2 and brotherhood wasn’t so terribly bad

i think it mostly got intolerable with origins just because the whole game was supposed to be a soft reboot stripping out all the bullshit everyone hated, except they kept that one thing everyone really hated

I bought odyssey but refunded it because that awful Ubisoft launcher kept logging me out and made it a huge pain in the rear end to play via steam link. welp that's my experience with asscreed thanks for reading.

Ubisoft has made some of their previous games unplayable (unless you torrent copies)

i moved into a new apartment and i have a new arrangement of all my stuff. i want to be able to sit on the couch and play steam games on my tv, using my xbox controllers, but my desktop computer is in another room. i don't want to run an hdmi cable through the wall and i suspect it's too far for the wireless controllers to work anyway.

what's the best way to stream games to my tv? a chromecast with steam link app? is that laggy? how do i hook up the controllers?

Really depends on how good your network is and the controller connects through Bluetooth to the streaming device I believe. So visual and controller lag really depends on how good the internet is

yah I use it a lot and it works pretty well. if your gaming compute and appletv or whatever you're running steamlink on are on a wired network it works a lot better

hmm okay. i think only one of my controllers has bluetooth, lol. they're old. but that could work.

i have an 802.11ac router in the same room as the tv and it's connected via gigabit ethernet to the desktop so i suspect the network won't be a major bottleneck. not sure though...

You should be good, only way to know is to test it out and see how it fairs

all that said, do consider running the hdmi. i am a strong believer in having a wire at least as backup.

if you have an extra ipad or iphone laying around you can use the steam link app and output through the hdmi adapter, controller would be paired to the ios device. assuming you have a bluetooth-capable xbox controller, which is the xbone second rev or later

i plug my controller into my samsung tv and it has a built in steamlink app. its the only time i hook it up to ethernet and i highly reccommend. probably not great for like call of duty but witcher and elden ring whipped. oh also i target 1080p60 but i have a lovely computer im sure its fine at scale

switch is easier to pack and will make you look marginally less like a dork
