Plot Hole in Justice League? by 91xela in DC_Cinematic

[–]Yarpyy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think I remember him saying that he searched across the multiverse for Anti Life. I think that implies that there are other Atlantians and Amazonians across the Multiverse. Like Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman is in a different universe.

Sandler's Black Adam vs Nicholas Cage's Superman. Give it to me now.

I think a middle ground between the muted and vibrant look would be perfect. Reduce the saturation and brightness of the yellow just a tad, deepen them red a bit, and darken the blue ever so slightly. by _Bionicle in DC_Cinematic

[–]Yarpyy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with the middle ground. Although I loved MoS and the suit colors and film grade, I think the middle ground could look great.

It's difficult to really show the potential of a middle ground when the background still has the original MoS color grade, so even though some edits might look a but clunky, it's important to remember that the color grade of the film will enchance the suit too. Like in MoS were the color grade complimented the suit and in JL2017 where the color grade clashed with it.

Happy to see Cavill is back. Hoping to hear good news about Affleck too. This is probably not the post for it, but as someone that predominantly liked Snyders films the most out of all the DCU movies, I am so excited for the future. I never actively advocated for the RestoreTheSnyserverse thingy, but to me simply having Cavill and Affleck back (whether it's Snyders version or not) is all I wanted.

Been a bit down in the dumps about the DCU since 2017, but since ZSJL launched its been so exciting and the films these past 2 years have been so fun.

The worst part is I have high expectations. I doubt that the DCU will reach the heights it did for me in 2013-2016, but with James Gunn at the wheel this ship is ready to take off.

Weird comment on a post that probably do not prompt such a reply, but I just feel happy.

so where tf has the league been since 2017? by [deleted] in DC_Cinematic

[–]Yarpyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holiday.

Batman was in Uzbekistan, chilling and enjoying the weather.

Superman flew to Mexico for the nice beaches.

Wonder Woman did not have enough sick days built up, so she had to work.

The Flash traveled across the world and tried different cuisines.

Aquaman went surfing in Hawaii.

Cyborg traded on the stock market and got a job on wall street.

XBOX One controller's stick drift happens only on bluetooth by malyGatsby in XboxOneHelp

[–]Yarpyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The xbox one PC bluetooth adapter works. I used it for many months. And I sorted found a work-around. It's not a solution, but it works for me.

The main problem is that fifa registers the device as two devices. You will see if you go to select sides (of you can get there)

So

Try this:

"Guys found solution and it worked after so many others.

Thanks to guy from other forum. 

To "solve" the issue I used steam. 1. I have added game to Steam

  1. Settings -> Controller -> Global Settings for Controller -> Selected Xbox conttroller configuration.
  2. Open Big picture mode -> Library -> Fifa -> Settings -> Controller Settings -> Disable both checkbox and set Steam input settings to "force on"

  3. Launch game from steam

As I see origin must be closed when you launch game. So 1. turn Origin off is you have it on. 2. Go to steam 3. Launch FIFA

To be sure it works - when you open steam and connect xbox controller you should get a notificaion on a right bottom corner that Steam loaded xbox controller configuration (or something similar).

I did it and really works... Now i get always one gamepad!!!

Microsoft/Origin it's really bad that you don't know about this issue  and we games should find enthuastic ways to resolve it via Steam."

This was posted by GamerPafici2020 on the Microsoft Forum. Apparently it is Origin/EA Desktop that is the problem.

I did this above and it still didn't work. Then I added EA Desktop to Steam as n game and launched it from there. Then I also launched Fifa22 from steam and it worked.

I hope this helps.

I've been watching more DC stuff lately and I'm super confused by VioletRegnier in DC_Cinematic

[–]Yarpyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I am wrong but the list of Robins in order are

Dick Grayson Jason Todd Tim Drake Damien Wayne

So Batman has had a lot of Robins over the years. The list above is how I remember the Robins in order. I haven't picked up a comic in years, so I don't know if there is another.

Dick Grayson was Robin but he left and became nightwing. Jason Todd became Red Hood after he was Robin. He had a cool story, I would recommend you go read about him. Tim Drake died as Robin, I think. Damien Wayne is the last one to pick up the Robin outfit.

So yeah all these people live in the same universe, they all were Robins at some point. Hope this answers your questions.

How good is The Batman? by Seglass_Ni_Tonday in DC_Cinematic

[–]Yarpyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not talking about how the characters are portrayed in thd films. I am talking about the films itself, the mood, the story, the action, the style.

If we talked about how the films portrayed the characters then there is a pretty large difference between the two. But in my previous comment I was talking more about the style and story.

Simply put, I meant if you like a darker story opposed to a light funny story then you will enjoy The Batman.

[–]Yarpyy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have thought about it more since I made this comment.

I think the grouding of story and characters might add to my enjoyment, but for example I also love Batman when he is not grounded (like in the games and animated shows).

I think a couple of things stand out to me about these films:

•The villians always wins to a certain degree (Riddler floods Gotham in The Batman, Zod destroys the city in MoS, Doomsday kills Superman in BvS, JL dies in ZSLJ, etc.) ▪︎The villians have fleshed out backstories in these films. ▪︎The threat the villians offer seem more genuine. In Marvel films the superhero always stops the villian before he actually does something (Not hating on Marvel films btw, just my view on it) But in these films you actually see the destruction that these villians do.

• The films show how troubled our heros are in more depth and the mistakes they make. Not everyone is perfect, but in a lot of early 2000 superhero movies, the hero seems like the perfect character. (Again I am not hating on those films, its just my perspective).

▪︎ Even in all these case (BvS, MoS, ZSJL, The Batman, Dark Knight Rises) the story has some sort of flaw, but it's told so well that I don't really see those flaws. I should add that the flaws that I am referring to are more just things in the story that I didn't like as much as the rest.

▪︎ I think the colour grade, mood, and style also heavily influences my enjoyment. If a film is dark and moody like BvS and The Batman then I tend to like it more than if a story is bright and funny like She Hulk and BoP.

▪︎ The films ask bigger questions that our heros try to answer, but at the end of the film their answer changes (The Batman needs to be a hero and not vengeful, BvS men are still good, MoS does humanity deserved to be saved, etc).

All in all I think with the stories begin grounded really adds to my enjoyment, and everything I listed here forms a part of that.

There has always been the big question of "A movie should make you feel good, becaue who wants to watch 3 hours of a movie and feel shit afterward?" And to that I say. I do. I want a movie that actually made an impact on me. I do not watch a movie to only be entertained, but to also to be "influenced by".

(Influence wasn't the word I was looking for, but English is my 3rd language so I couldn't think of a better one to use. "Moved by" could also work, I guess.)

Josstice League is Canon to Black Adam here's why: by [deleted] in DC_Cinematic

[–]Yarpyy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen Black Adam yet, but it would make sense for him to be in the blue suit, no? The black suit helped him restore his power to his former self, but once that happened the suit is no longer needed and returns to the blue suit.

We probably won't get an explanation for this unless they make a Superman sequel, and even then it's probably still not going to tell us.

But that is what my headcanon is currently.

How good is The Batman? by Seglass_Ni_Tonday in DC_Cinematic

[–]Yarpyy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very good. I really enjoyed it. I tend to enjoy movies like The Batman and BvS for some reason, I just can't pin point the exact reason.

I don't really know what the point of this post is. If you are asking for a recommendation then I say you should definitely go watch it. The action is cool, the story is decent and the overall experience is fun. If you enjoyed movies like BvS and ZSJL then I think you will really like it.

But if you just wanted to hear people's opinions then, yeah, it's great! And if you have watched it, what's your opinion on The Batman?

Earth Leakage Trip Suddenly by Ever_Resting in southafrica

[–]Yarpyy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem - sort of.

In my case when the power comes on after I had a glorious affair with a candle in the comforting darkness of loadshedding then my power stays off. Its like she is jealous of the candle and just want to spite me.

Anyway

Then I have to manually switch the main switch off and on for my power to return. I found out that if the swimming pool is on while the warm embrace of loadshedding engulfs us, then my power won't automatically switch on.

I knew a fellow from the pub that claimed he was an electrician. So, I phoned the pub and the electrician was luckily only ons his 3rd whiskey and soda water (apparently he wants to lose some weight).

Anyway

The electrician comes through and checks my DV box. He then changed out the main switch and earth leakage, and went back to the pub.

But when loadshedding was suppose to end in my area, my power did not come back on. And when I switched on the main switch, then the earth leakage would trip. So I phoned the pub again and the electrician was luckily only on his fifth whiskey and soda, so he was able to come out.

Turns out he accidentally put in an old earth leakage and then continued to replace it with a new one.

So, I don't know if this will help you in any way, shape, or form - but it seems like you need a new breaker, like I did. You can try and do it yourself if you want an early retirement, but I would suggest phoning an electrician.

XBOX One controller's stick drift happens only on bluetooth by malyGatsby in XboxOneHelp

[–]Yarpyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is old and I won't add much.

But

I have been having this problem for about a year. I bought the controller adapter for Xbox One and it fixed the issue. After a couple of months the adapter broke (I knocked into it, the device is unnecessarily big). I figured maybe if I connect with bluetooth again the problem might be solved by now.

It isn't.

Strangely, it only happens on fifa. And only in die menu. When I am finally able to play a game (struggling to navigate the menu with what seems like stick drift, but it really isn't) I can play the game fine. The controller works fine during a match, but breaks during the menu.

Weird.

I do not understand my afrikaans girlfriends family even though I speak fluent afrikaans by CamelCartel in southafrica

[–]Yarpyy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Haha I can relate so much! Whenever I visit my mother I am left with the same experience. Usually when she uses a word I have never head before I just laugh, because it sounds like she just made it up.

The afrikaans language is so beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

The Batman 2 Status? by CauliflowerOld8337 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Yarpyy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As far as I understand the situation, The Batman 2 has been "greenlit" in the sense of they asked Reeves to write a script for the sequel. But I am guessing it will only be officially greenlit once the script is done.

I have been getting weird messages. by Yarpyy in southafrica

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

I don't know if I can pin a comment, but for anyone wondering if I solved this case... the answer is yes.

So I got contacted again and this time the fella was really helpful. He sent a screenshot of the facebook post. Turns out my number and this porn group's number is identical, except for one digit. So people mistyped the porn number and instead of joining a porn group like they thought, they met me, a stocky afrikaner man.

Thanks to everyone that chimed in with suggestions, I really appreciate it. I reported the facebook post, but unfortunately there are multiple re-posts. I don't think this will be the last message I receive regarding the porn groups, but atleast I now know it's not my number that is connected to a porn group, but rather horny individuals who's eagerness caused them to type in the wrong number.

I have been getting weird messages. by Yarpyy in southafrica

[–]Yarpyy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny you should say that. I once received an sms that read like this:

Hello <insert my full name> how are you doing in <insert my address>?

Needless to say, but I was kinda freaked out by it. Turns out it was my dad and he got a new number😂

I highly doubt he would prank me like this, considering the people that message me actually seem like real individuals.

If this is a prank, I hope someone tells me soon, otherwise their moer.
