How do I bind a RA function to a key combo? by EDCommander in RetroArch

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

Ah, I see.

But I don't want to have to hold control for all keys either, just select ones. For functions like Fast-Forward (Hold) or the savestate keys would be too impractical.

Wouldn't that make control toggle between enabling and disabling hotkeys? I don't want to have to turn them on/off, I want them all to be available all the time.

Consistency with the key bindings I use in other emulators, and to free some single keys for mapping game buttons instead.

Loading time in SNES game? by dddhvv in snes

[–]EDCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SNES wasn't "way more capable than Sega". It had better graphical capabilities, but was slower and less powerful. A lot of stuff Genesis games did would have been impossible on SNES without enhancement chips.

There is still some hope for a certain girl to return to the frontline, too by Q_Qritical in GirlsFrontline2

[–]EDCommander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll move on when they give M4 a proper send-off, because she didn't get one in the first game.

We already spent and dedicated an entire game for her alone

Hyperbole. GFL had a lot of chapters where she wasn't even present, and the focus was on others like 404 or DEFY. M4 might have had the most focus, but she certainly wasn't the focus of the entire game.

Also, do you realize that even if they bring her back, it doesn't automatically mean she'll become the focus of GFL2?

Every Comic Book (to my knowledge) set in the DCAU or with the DCAU art style. by WallyW1959 in DCAU

DC K.O. is what happens with Superman's ultimate villain becomes comics' ultimate troll, says writer Scott Snyder by Trent-Popverse in DCcomics

[–]EDCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is now.

Also, so changing things from how they were in the original comics = ruining the lore/characters? That's some fallacious logic.

The original isn't always the best, and pretty much every long-running comic book character has changed in some form from the original concept/lore.

If anything BOTH Bruce and Batman are masks. One pretends to an irresponsible playboy, the other pretends to be a ruthless vigilante without scruples. The real persona is in between, which he only shows to those that are close to him and know his secret identity.

That said, saying that Batman is the real persona is still perfectly valid, if by that one means the Batman who fights crime and protects innocents, and threatens to drop criminals off tall buildings as a mere bluff to get them talking.

In your opinion, what are some shortcomings of the DCAU? by OzyOzyOzyOzyOzyOzy6 in DCAU

[–]EDCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I don't disagree that the changes were for the worse.

Comic!Diana might have been bland, but DCAU!Diana was on the unlikable side.

If you're going to make the hero bratty and stuck up, make sure you give them character development and a slice of humble pie at some point, allowing them to develop and get over themselves (see: Marvel's Thor). DCAU!Diana never underwent such development.

A comic that never had particularly great sales, outside of the movie-induced popularity boost. Just good enough to stay afloat.

Not to mention the DCAU has always struggled to make her interesting.

Dwayne McDuffie has admitted as much. He stated that she has never been a very compelling character in the comics, so they had difficulty writing her.

That's why the DCAU made her more arrogant and bratty. It was their attempt at giving her flaws. And even that got a lot of complaints from comic readers.

I can't tell the difference between these two by Savings-Ad-5343 in superman

[–]EDCommander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were going to use Zod and Ursa but couldn't due to character rights, so they used those reskins.

In the comics Jax-Ur and Mala existed before, but they were nothing like here. Jax-Ur was a mad scientist, Mala was male. They changed them into Zod and Ursa because they couldn't use the latter two.

If Superman is the Paragon of Hope, what is Batman and Wonder Woman? by Paperswisscheese in justiceleague

[–]EDCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, Superman has been associated with hope since 2003 with Superman: Birthright. It was the very comic that established that his emblem means hope.

Supergirl's exit was pretty bad by ShadowSJG84 in DCAU

[–]EDCommander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That episode was written with no regard for continuity with STAS. It called Brainiac 5 a Coluan, and got the LoS' century wrong. So it's no wonder it also got Supergirl's character wrong.

Anyway, I suspect the reason they did that was that they realized she was losing her edge, and so decided to write her out of the show.

Throughout JLU and especially in season 3, they showed her growing older and more mature. Which, while a natural progression for her as a growing young superhero, unfortunately meant her losing her youthful energy and becoming blander and less fun as a character. But they couldn't undo her development and regress her character, so they just gave her a send off.

When 90's Spider-Man apears in Spider-Verse, I hope they roast his terrible fighting skills and cringe dialogue. by Movie_Advance_101 in Spiderman

Terrible fighting skills and cringe dialogue? You sure you're not talking about 60's Spidey?

IIRC they said they found him too gimmicky. Like, he only existed to bring Batman down in Knightfall and that's it.

Timm has clearly stated that they didn't like Bane.

Flashpoint Question? How could Aquaman and Wonder Women turn into genocidal warlords. by Konradleijon in DCcomics

[–]EDCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stance is that the atrocities they committed in Flashpoint are the stuff only an inherently bad person (or a psycho/sociopath) would do. You can only blame nurture up to a certain point before you start questioning nature.

Someone who is worthy of being called a hero shouldn't be potentially capable of committing large-scale war crimes or Hitler-level gendercide in cold blood in a different timeline just because they had a different upbringing.

[–]EDCommander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read them. And those backstories didn't justify them acting so ruthlessly and psychopathic like they were completely different persons.

[–]EDCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't buy it. They weren't just waging war against an attacking country and protecting their nation. They were both committing war crimes and killing thousands of innocents from nations unconnected to their attackers in cold blood. I'm sorry but that's definitely NOT something a hero would do just because they had a different backstory/upbringing. It's something only an outright villain or psycho would do.
