With those facial expressions, she's lightweight uncanny valley
You, Me, and some guy in NYC mourns the loss.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
tbh as long as I'm not getting motion sick I could careless about the whole thing.

I'm fine with 30fps, but I prefer 60fps. I hate when 30fps drops (GTAV). Which is why I do most of my gaming on PC.
And yo, fucking love Brooklyn Nine Nine. Diaz and Santiago…yes pls.
I think she started out dope, but then DC tried to make her more relateable to readers and started fucking that entire thing up slowly. They seem to do that alot I notice. Like yo if you're trying to make a character that's relateable you need to make that part of the character from the get go. None of this tomfoolery of trying to inject shit into them.
Damian is Cassandra's character done right (yo fuck Grant Morrison).
You should realize that most people like Stephanie because she's easily one of the better written characters in the Bat family, and much better written than Barbara as Batgirl. Reading Barbara batgirl was like reading a Stormfront "science article" on black people. Horrible, cobbled together bullshit.
People like Barbara as Oracle for that same reason, she as a character was MUCH better written when she wasn't actually Batgirl, her interactions with other characters and her personal battles made her a dope character as Oracle. Which is why people constantly point to Oracle and not Batgirl Barbara when she's brought up, that isn't coincidence bruh. It's just millions of people appreciating a well written character whether they actually realize it or not. It's also why for the most part Batgirl's current solo series sucks ass. She's just bland as fuck as Batgirl; there's very little that differentiates her from anyone else.

Some people see it. Some don't.
Some of the former don't care. Many of the latter aren't bothered.
That's it.

I'll ask our marketing peeps tomorrow. Also i can see 60 vs 30 just fine. You'd be surprised how many industry peeps can't though

saw Blake Griffin's parents for the first time today. what a combo of features to mix.
Wow. You can just see what features went where. And Blake was just destined to be a redhead. Also, Mom's just happy to see her son's on the court, but Dad looks like he's going to give Blake a thorough criticism when the game is over.

Wish I could get imm0rt4l swoll, but would interfere with karate way too much.
..... I know good and damn well ill never get that swoll :\
She should maybe smile more.....
Cass Cain...take her voice away again so she only communicates by kicking your ass and she'll be great again.
Also let her be scary/sensitive/sexy again. And maybe some friction with Tim Drake (if they ever decide to bring his character back...)

i dont see the better written part. maybe better than auxiliary characters like the inc squad, but among the core family, no. babs may be better as oracle, which i admit, but steph isnt a good character at all, and ive given the character plenty of chances
idk whatever she's using with her face doesn't look right.

You guys see that Twitch plays Pokemon? Its crazy lol.
last time I checked, people were trying to say he was a fully grown adult dwarf.
Yeah, his parent gland.
Is he in school? Does he know what a number 2 pencil looks like?
Whoa there. Don't throw us in with those Barbara people.
The lore the community is building behind it is hilarious.

I am watching "The N-Word" on ESPN and I would love to have this conversation about it on GAF but I don't want to destroy it and myself.
i saw the promo for it earlier and instantly
i can't believe ESPN is even doing this.
It hurts for them not to say it.

I actually give them credit for once for actually talking about it because we all know that there are som many people that don't have a clue.

I equate it to learning a new language. There is nuance and meaning in even the slightest inflection and if you aren't a member of that culture then you dont understand it completely.

I believe it at this point.
It's not horseshit. Not everyone's vision or intolerance for this type of stuff is the same, and to suggest otherwise is disingenuous. My parents had their HD DirecTV box hooked up to their HD television using composite cables. They were completely oblivious to it. My friend had made an XBMC media center and most of the video played through it was a stuttering mess. Why? Because he failed to utilize a setting within the program to adjust the display's refresh rate to match the video. He was oblivious to it until I pointed it out, and it seemed to only bother me. A lot of people can't tell the difference between 60hz and 120hz in televisions, especially if there's no direct comparison to be had. I'd have a bit of trouble telling the difference too, except that I'm more susceptible to motion sickness with the latter.
As I said, FOR ME, as in the way my eyes and my brain processes information - not yours - telling the difference between 30 and 60 fps without the aid of a side by side or direct comparison can be difficult depending on the genre. If you were to set a 30fps and 60fps versions of the same game in front of me, obviously I'd be able to tell the difference. But just having me play one game, and asking me to identify whether its 30 or 60 fps? That's tougher for me. I thought Infamous: Second Son was 60 FPS until I read otherwise a month or so ago. I didn't know the campaign and multiplayer for Killzone Shadow Fall were running at different resolutions.
Burns their souls, it does.
That's an interesting way to look at it. But my thing is people trying to make it socially unacceptable just because they can't say it without potential consequence while refusing to understand why they can't when folks try to explain.

Of course, you know that is the underlying reason for the "outrage".

Wait..ESPN are doing what? Where can i watch this? VOD anywhere?
I don't think not being able to say it is the issue. I'm sure those who complain about not being able to say it actually say it when not around black people.
It hurts them not to be able to call us it free of consequence like the "good old days."

My bad, Barbara fans are wack as fuck though. Always swearin she's the truth…but all they talk about is Oracles, cats like to pretend she was never a Batgirl. Batgirl Barbara is like the Old Testament, everyone likes to pretend that shit never happened while talkin about how amazing she is and shit. Fuck outta here.
Not a hater I just don't see the "ERMAHGAWD BEST HERO EVER!" so many cats have been shouting as of late.

Preach.
Even when she was Batgirl, people main talk about shit she did as a civilian. Like working as a politician. Her time as Batgirl seems like a blur.
She wasn't even that great in TAS until Beyond.
Aquaman has always been better than he gets credit for, but I do agree the hype has gone a little into overdrive recently.

people say that? the most i see is the constant lame ass super friends references
i have no interest in this shit because it basically amounts to sticking your toe in the water and swirling it around a bit.
if they really wanted to get somewhere on these televised racial discussions then they'd unpack it deeper than the N-Word and talk about the codewords that fly everyday w/o people even raising an eye like "thug" and shit like that. and talk about privilege. and put panels of white people on the spot about it.
it'd be awkward as hell like Steve McQueen on that directors panel but that's something i'd want to see.
