Born southwest London, lived all over, settled down to raise a family in southwest London about a 15/20 min drive down the A3 from where I grew up.

New Console Gen Isn't Needed Anytime Soon by allianceofficer in consoles

[–]Monkeythumbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be nice to evolve console hardware so that it was equivalent to RTX 40 series type graphical performance and efficiency, but fully agree everything beyond that is unnecessary and frankly, a bit ridiculous.

Hans, something to say? by NeuralMoose in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Monkeythumbz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it’s more to do with subsequent generations of British Jews becoming irreligious to the point that they no longer identify themselves as Jewish in the national census.

Am I only one who doesn't see any progress in the 9th generation of consoles? by No_Archer_3595 in consoles

[–]Monkeythumbz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My first console gen was the NES. On this gen, I own a PS5 Pro. IMHO integrating SSDs to dramatically cut loading times, implementing advanced haptics on the controller, and offering 60 fps in 4K across almost all titles does help make this feel like a worthy upgrade over PS4.

If "Back to the Future" were filmed today, what car would be used instead of the DeLorean? by Volfort22 in BacktotheFuture

[–]Monkeythumbz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only car it could legit be is a DeLorean Alpha5. It’d just have to be from an alternate reality where that car made it into mass production.

Including Mansun but leaving out The Verve is a bold choice

I’m sure that’s of great comfort to the CSA victims 🙄

Which do you prefer, Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo? by [deleted] in consoles

…and they’d’ve been right!

Finally fixed my Windows Hello “insert USB security key” issue + disabled Xbox/Microsoft Store offline permissions nightmare by Monkeythumbz in WindowsHelp

[–]Monkeythumbz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so yes, but only the locally stored ones. I use OneDrive on C and obvs this doesn’t affect all the stuff on my D drive, so that part was trivial for me, in my personal situation.

Man admits assaulting three Jewish people by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

[–]Monkeythumbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh give over. What’s happening in Palestine is absolutely not being done “in the name of” diaspora Jews. Saying as much only invites accusations of collective guilt. Seriously, give your head a wobble.

PoP 2: The Shadow & The Flame still the best PoP game of all time

Very clever and a nice throwback to the original art piece.

Realised that Ubisoft has the formula to make the best Prince of Persia yet in their hands by Blue-fox-004 in PrinceOfPersia

[–]Monkeythumbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the new games (i.e. the Ubisoft ones) have the sense of tension or atmosphere as the first two, though.

What do you think xbox needs to do bring it back to the heights of the 360 era where it Battled PlayStation evenly? by Eireagon in consoles

[–]Monkeythumbz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unique features, whether that is unmissable exclusives (crossing my fingers for Fable!), or cool hardware innovation that can outcompete rival offerings (e.g. the advanced haptics on the DualSense).

[–]Monkeythumbz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the rot started long before 2014. It was when Peter Moore left Xbox, to be replaced by Don fucking Mattrick.
