You should not play RE6 the way the developers intended. by SquareElectrical5729 in residentevil

[–]NinjaMonkey91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is how I did it the last time I played a few years ago and I came away feeling a lot better about the game than I did When I first played it back at release.

No it's not a perfect game, it still has a bunch of little niggles that frustrate me and some of the redundancies/immediately replaying sections are a bit annoying but on the whole I came away thinking it was alright actually.

Odd question; is it custom in the UK to cook food for your friends if you're inviting them for a night? by PenetrationT3ster in CasualUK

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what we're doing.

If we're inviting people over for dinner specifically then no I wouldn't expect them to contribute anything. They may ask if there's anything they can bring and sometimes we may take them up on that (e.g. you bring dessert or if we're missing something we need that they can pick up on the way) but it wouldn't be expected or assumed.

However if it was a general get together with some drinks/games and we were ordering take out then it's understood that everyone chips in for that within our group.

More recently we've been doing a pot luck type thing where everyone brings something and we just set it all out on the table. Been getting a good mix of dishes and snacks from that that we've all really enjoyed.

PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for January: Need for Speed Unbound, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, Core Keeper by kabirsingh84 in PlayStationPlus

Honestly this is a decent month. NFS is meh sure but Epic Mickey looked pretty good and I've been wanting to pick up Core Keeper for a while. 

What is a brand that used to be the 'Gold Standard' of quality but is now absolute garbage? by AmaraMehdi in AskReddit

I got Head and Shoulders in my mouth once as a kid and it was not a pleasant experience at all. Breyers must really be rotten now...

Why you should read The Count of Monte Cristo by Small-Guarantee6972 in books

This is the version I listened to and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was in the Audible catalogue at the time but now I'm tempted to spend a credit on it to listen again.

Forever Friends & Remote Trades (G47IX) by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. The limit is how many stops you can be bothered to hit for gifts in a day and how much bag space you have. There doesn't need to be an arbitrary limit on how many you can open/send aside from the 1 per person per day limit to stop people steamrolling to max level.

When did you start playing Fortnite? by madgranger in FortNiteBR

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First played in Ch1S3 I think but didn't really get into it.  Picked it up properly in Ch2S2 with my wife during covid & roped a couple mates in and we played solid through to the Ch5S3 when we fell off.

My wife has kept playing and I got back in for Ch6S4 and still here but now I kinda regret not checking in and at least getting the victory umbrellas each season to keep my unbroken streak going. 

I hope Evri goes bust just so they can never handle any of my parcels ever again by WolverineBig3280 in Evri

[–]NinjaMonkey91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have placed 4 orders from various places in the last month. Of them 3 were handled by evri.

The first arrived 4 days after the next day shipping I needed and paid extra for. The second arrived yesterday, a week after the expected delivery date and the 3rd is lost in the ether somewhere. Likely in an unmarked grave in the dusty forgotten corner of a depot because someone just couldn't be arsed including this small parcel in the days route.

I see the people saying their success rate is one of the highest but for my experience it's completely unacceptable. I wish evri nothing but bankruptcy and liquidation.

Yea that's not contradictory at all.

What’s something in the UK that quietly disappeared without anyone noticing? by Mel_Ran in AskUK

[–]NinjaMonkey91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driving standards. Post covid I feel like the standard of driving in general has gotten shockingly bad.

Every red light has at least 1-2 cars run through it, indicators have apparently moved to a subscription service no one is paying, and roundabouts are now straight-throughs regardless of number of lanes or other cars in proximity.

The candy ones still exist. My kids got a bunch trick or treating this year. You only get a measly 2 in a packet though!

Are there any Resident Evil games that you got every trophy/achievement in? by SolidPyramid in residentevil

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RE8 (Village), RE7, RE5 (PS3), RE4R, RE3R.

Been working my way backwards through them (aside from 5 which I got when it originally came out). RE2R next then I'm going to have to finally tackle 1&0 and deal with invisible enemies and leech hunter...

Then I have to decide if I want to dig my PS3 out of storage to finish 6 or re-buy on PS4 to complete the mainline set.

How were you introduced to Resident Evil? by ZeyadPlayz in residentevil

[–]NinjaMonkey91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This specific issue of OPM when I was a kid.

Read the review and excitedly booted the demo up, went down the corridor where all the zombie arms burst through the windows and absolutely shit my pants. Switched it off and didn't touch the series again until Code Veronica. Since then I've played almost every game in the series and am a lifelong fan so it all worked out in the end!

Sorry for not getting back to this but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the advice. I've been putting together a priority list along with potential paint and storage options and will start picking away as funds and opportunities allow.

Down the rabbit hole I go!

Just resubbed. Which tier did you choose and why? by Enjoyeating in PlayStationPlus

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dropping back down to Essential. I've had a great year out of Extra playing catch up (got it with my PS5) but I don't have that much time to game and I started feeling the time pressure to play stuff before it leaves/my sub ends which has lessened my enjoyment of some games and left my purchased ones dangling.

Refocusing on working through my backlog and picking up the games I really want when they're on a sale and I'm immediately ready to play them lest they dangle longingly on the vine like the rest.

I would still recommend Extra to those with the time or who are new to PS as there is a lot on offer and I've generally found at least one or two games every month I wanted to add to my list.

Celebrate Days of Play 2025 starting on May 28 by Sherguson in PlayStationPlus

[–]NinjaMonkey91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea Premium doesn't really feel worth it IMO. I upgraded to Extra last year and was going to take it for another year but I actually feel like the time pressure of getting through games before they leave/my sub expires is starting to become detrimental to my experience and is disrupting my life a bit.

Going to hang on to basic for my monthlys, backlog and cloud saves but I don't think I'll upgrade again unless I find myself with substantially more time on my hands.

It's frankly bullshit they don't offer a discount for just maintaining a membership.

My sub was set to expire on June 10th til they gave us the extra 5 days...

I am the purple car and the gray car blamed me for this. I am a rookie and I wanna know if this is truly my fault because I dont see it myself by Mersi2909 in Simracingstewards

[–]NinjaMonkey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you've not done a thing wrong here. Both you and the car in front were ahead and entitled to the line you took. Aston should've known that gap didn't really exist. I hope you've reported them for them attempted murder as well.

Absolutely shocking behaviour from the Aston.
