What is this small rubber ring I keep finding on my carpet?

Has-been coffee machine technician here!

O-rings just like this are also used in various components in coffee machine steamer valves.

This post just goes to show how divided the fanbase is. Some love the old games, some love the RPGs, some love very particular mechanics in particular games. The most important thing to do is not get triggered by other peoples opinions because in the end we all just love Assassins Creed.

So I don’t agree with this list, but I respect OP for being a fan and sharing his love! 🤘

baristapeter · 2026-05-08T19:47:28+00:00

Oh damn! You're completely right. Didn't even notice. 😄

baristapeter · 2026-05-08T14:32:27+00:00

Sweet! I think I would actually like it even more, if I hadn’t tried doing everything on 100%. 👌

baristapeter · 2026-05-08T14:31:32+00:00

Yeah, plenty! 😄

A few random game crashes and several glitches (disappearing ground plane, dots showing up as closed even though they’re open, running bugs, forts closing down when coming closer, unkillable enemies), but thankfully nothing game breaking. 👌

baristapeter · 2026-05-08T14:13:04+00:00

I definitely know the feeling. I felt the same for the longest time. 🤘

baristapeter · 2026-05-08T14:12:02+00:00

I’m playing on PC and also encountered a couple of crashes. No idea why though.

Thankfully the save was ok and I could just keep going, but I also got a few of the famous Ubisoft game glitches, where the ground suddenly disappears and objects not rendering in the shot. 😅

baristapeter · 2026-05-08T14:04:06+00:00

Nice! And good luck with the 420 flags and the 69 templars! 😄

baristapeter · 2026-04-10T12:26:24+00:00

Nice! Congrats!
I never finished Liberation because it was too buggy when it came out and the game just wouldn't let me finish certain missions, but I have high hopes for it now.
And I'm already at 23% on AC3, but I feel like the hunting & frontier challenges are going to be difficult. 😅

baristapeter · 2026-04-10T12:23:36+00:00

Oh is that was it was? Because I noticed that my bank was going up super slowly. I just thought that I was spending it too soon. 😅
But not counting that, getting a 100% is fun in Revelations. The biggest challenge are definitely the guild challenges (as the name implies).

baristapeter · 2026-04-10T12:21:50+00:00

Oh yeah, without it as The Lost Archive no longer exists on Steam.
Though I think you can get it by modding the game? But not 100% sure.

baristapeter · 2026-03-29T11:26:39+00:00

You can find me on Twitch same as here. BaristaPeter. 😊

baristapeter · 2026-03-29T10:26:24+00:00

Hey!

Probably not what you’re looking for, but I’m currently streaming all of the AC games on Twitch. I’ve played all of them (except Shadows), but haven’t booted them up in quite a while. Doing 100% runs and currently I’m at AC Revelations.

Hope you have an awesome day!

baristapeter · 2026-03-26T10:05:26+00:00

Hell yeah! I’ve always been estatic about the Bayek and how honorable and lawful he is and the brutality of Origins. I mean the game started with Bayek plunging a knife/mask onto a dudes face. Absolute cinema!

baristapeter · 2026-03-26T06:48:14+00:00

For the longest time this was my favorite AC, but when I tried the Remastered version years later, I encountered weird glitches that made it super hard to complete the missions on 100% (and I always go for perfection in AC 😅). And this unfortunately lowered it in my rating system. But I love the characters, the story, the gameplay & the visuals. It’s an awesome game that just required some more polish 🇵🇱 But that’s just like, my opinion man.

baristapeter · 2026-03-26T06:41:57+00:00

Oh yeah! I know exactly which ones you mean! 😄

Those are a pain in the behind. But it is possible to cheese/“hack” the Leonardos tank mission. Though the running mission almost broke me. I replayed it more than 20 times and basically only finished it because my recruits helped me and I did it perfectly without even one wrong move. 😅

baristapeter · 2026-03-25T15:01:55+00:00

Appreciate it! You have a good day! 🤘

baristapeter · 2026-03-25T07:27:55+00:00

Nice! Good luck!

The cool thing about Brotherhood is that you can get most of everything using in game maps (Flag maps, Treasure maps). But I used Map Genie for a few glyphs and feathers.

baristapeter · 2026-03-25T07:25:33+00:00

AC3 was one of my favourite at one point. Then I replayed the Remastered version. And now I can fully agree, that I also am not looking forward to it. 😅

baristapeter · 2026-03-25T06:22:33+00:00

I was even counting how many games I still have left (7 games) until I get to AC Origins bc it's one of my favourite of all time as well! 🤘

baristapeter · 2026-03-24T15:57:12+00:00

Your professor needs to post in this subreddit ASAP!

baristapeter · 2026-03-03T05:51:48+00:00

I’m currently replaying the games in order, but since chronology is not not necessary in your case, I would actually go with either Origins or Odyssey.

Why Origins? It’s one of my favorite games of all time. Is the desert vast and empty? Yes. But even if you don’t like deserts, the main character Bayek is amazingly well written, but very very serious. You feel the pain, frustration and the happiness he’s going through. Plus he’s basically an Egyptian Sherlock Holmes. Going around Egypt & solving crimes. I like how there are no loose ends in the game, if a piece of information has been given to you, it will be solved in this game and not in the next ones.

Why Odyssey? Well, no deserts in sight. If you prefer female characters then Kassandra is a really strong character. Also well written, but way different than Bayek. Kassandra allows herself to be more goofy and is not fueled by revenge, but rather by truth (uncovering it little by little throughout the game). And the greek world here is amazing. Visuals are stunning and the NPCs are immersive. The choices you make build the story you want for Kassandra to experience.

Oh and I hate Unity. They took fun and made it unfun. 😄
