Thanks for the warning. :yay:

After watching Birds of Prey mu expectations for Suicide Squad lowered a lot.
To be fair I am pretty sure BoP was the DCCU Executives continued attempt to market smaller scaled movie projects by throwing in Harley Quinn since without her or someone of popularity being on screen the movies would have been too niche to draw in larger audiences. It would have been like if Marvel Executives decided that Guardians of The Galaxy would have been too niche to be a popular big draw movie so they would throw in Iron man to boost up hype and sell more seats. Of course this did not happen because Marvel had more confidence in their gamble working out. DC on the other hand just seems to be falling down an infinite staircase where they just sometimes catch themselves up for a bit before falling down the stairs again.

The new Suicide Squad is an instance of them catching themselves up a bit, sure enough through they will be falling down those stairs again soon with whatever half baked movie they have planned next.

Why did I watch Birds of Prey in the first place?
Inclusion?
The Story?
Because: hUuUuUrRrr HaRleY QuiNn?
Nope... this is why:

Why did I saw Xmen Apocalypse?

DC tries too hard and when they do, they blow-it big time.
I can't remember watching a bad Batman Movie, (except the Val Kilmer one)
And even then, with Birds of Pray, they deliberately reduced Elizabetg's screentime on purpose.
There's no comparison between what Elizabeth can do and what Margot Robbie does:

Just saying that DC should do better at casting actresses and writing interesting/compelling stories and less forced inclusion and less "go gurl power" shit

Last movie I've seen is V/H/S. It's basically a compilation of short horror films interwoven into a meh overarching story. The second movie is better for sure but this one shows ingenuity in filmmaking in terms of adapting ideas to the found footage genre.
Quick summary: Guys go into a house and watch creepy scary vhs tapes and bad things happen.

Watched Late Night again for the third time the other day...

Regular people in shallow-as-fuck situations working in jobs they know deep down are insidious but tell themselves they're making some kind of positive contribution. It's funny, a bit cringe-worthy, silly and unbelievable at times, and somehow kinda great.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
