Sailing Through the Mediterranean in Assassin's Creed Origins (Time Lapse)

Playing as Cleopatra (using Discovery Tour), I'm sailing from west to east of the Mediterranean Sea (Great Green Sea and Mesogeios Sea) on a Felucca sail boat.

Sprinting Across Egypt in Assassin's Creed Origins (Time Lapse)

Playing as Aya, I'm sprinting across Egypt from one point (southeast) to the other (northwest). This is the opposite direction as the route I took riding a horse. The console version of Origins removed the "sprint" button and incorporated both walking/running with the left analog stick. Since I can't do a consistent walk animation, there won't be a walking across Egypt video. I avoid water as much as possible, but it's fine here.

Warning:
Due to YouTube re-encoding the videos to their specs in a lower bitrate, you will see a lot of pixelations in 60 frames per second videos in any fast moving scenes. It's too bad because the original video looks really good on my system.

Riding Across Egypt in Assassin's Creed Origins: Horseback Edition (Time Lapse)

Assassin's Creed Origins is a big departure for the series with an expanded world and new gameplay mechanic that focuses on RPG elements and more action instead of the tailing and stealth missions in previous games. Fans are divided, but everyone can agree that this is a beautiful game.

Set in Ancient Egypt, you play as Bayek, the last of the Medjay from the Ptolemaic Kingdom as he searches for the people responsible for the murder of his son. His wife, Aya, works with Cleopatra to take back the Ptolemaic Kingdom and investigate the mysterious masked men from the Order of Ancients.

Playing as Aya, I'm riding a horse across Egypt from one point(northwest) to the other (southeast). I believe this is the longest straight path of the map from the northwest to southeast. I avoid water since the horse riding animation ends. Note that horses slow down to half their top speed when they are near/inside towns or cities. A small section has me going through Cyrene so I slowed down the time to half speed as well. It's not really an accurate estimate, but I basically lose about 30 seconds. With Senu's flight speed, an unimpeded straight horse ride is probably faster.

I'm done.

Thanksgiving in New York 2019

After a year hiatus, we are back in NYC again.

Went by the Vessel in Hudson Yard on the way to High Line Park in Chelsea. Then took the subway to Chinatown for Hop Kee (Thanksgiving dinner) and Taiyaki NYC for desserts.

Went to the Vessel with our tickets the next morning. Went shopping with my sister in the afternoon. Dinner at Toni's Di Napoli: Family Style Italian Restaurant. Siblings and parents had broadways shows for the night. I just went around Times Square and to Rockefeller Plaza.

I'm done.
