OFFICE HOURS VOL II: Ask DC Universe Your Questions Every Tuesday Night!

@DocAtlas

If you can’t access those six issues of Adventure Comics in color through other means, let me know and I’ll scan the original comics and post a new thread with them.

Edit: Or if anyone else wants them too, let me know and I’ll fire up the Bat-scanner.

DocAtlas delivers!

Say… Today we can get to know @Mae as the featured character.

Hmmm… Seems to be missing Resident Office Hours DJ, and squishes cute animals…

Hey Captain do you think we could add the above as fun facts in the future?

Hey, you’re right! I’ll get that request up the flagpole

[Reaganfan78]

Thankyou.

[ajm08g]

Ah, that is good captain!

I may have done more than 7 days as you will see later… But will keep that in mind for next time.

Also, as others have mentioned I’ve also seen the missing profile pictures from time to time (chrome, desktop, as of today).

@markhb That is very interesting what you saw… Haven’t seen that though Captain.

Did The Company set you up with an adjustable desk at home?

@Applejack

play Stardew Valley

Hello hello @Applejack! I’ve also got a farm on Stardew Valley with @TheKateKane and @WingsOfAether. It’s been neglected since I’ve been busy the last few months. And I keep dragging them to dangerous areas. I’ve started running as well and take my wonderpup walking to help with stress.

Oh wow, I didn’t know you had a squad running on Stardew Valley, that’s so cool!!

I had to tear myself away because I became too reliant on it for escape. I’m so happy to hear you’re and Wonderpup (maybe +invisible jet? Golden leash?) are back in action! Consider me inspired. (Well, maybe to walk…baby steps.)

@Soreita

Since I live with the people I work with, I’ve been taking time to make my private space nice and comfy. Upgraded some equipment and playing my favorite classic game: Final Fantasy X. I attend teletherapy every two weeks where I talk about anything and everything. It’s been great learning how to deal with things within and out of my control.

This is so crucial- I was able to find something through BetterHelp, and it’s done a lot to keep me focused on what matters. Good for you for recognizing where improvements can be made and taking the action to make it happen Sometimes we need a few weeks (or months…) to sit with the negativity, but knowing there’s even just a small thing we can do eventually can help get us through. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey with us!

@Soreita

This may have already been asked/addressed, but is there a dark mode coming to DCUI? Or if it’s here, how do I access it? I’d rather not turn dark mode on from my phone settings. And the pure whiteness is burning my precious, delicate light-sensitive eyes.

The ONLY place Dark Mode doesn’t exist is on the comic book reader, on desktop- but to toggle it in all the other places, check out this handy tutorial and save your peepers:

Here is a video example of how it is done on Android mobile, but it will be different from device-to-device: DCUI Dark Mode is not currently available on web.

Whoa, I don’t know what’s going on but the community is looking more and more broken. Icons simply aren’t loading in mobile or on desktop. Basic functions are invisible. What’s happening here?

@neal.heatherly

So it sounds like you’re just not into animated features.

Not at all, I LOVE 101 Dalmatians, Lion King, Finding Nemo/Dory, and really enjoy many others as well (Anastasia, Aladdin, to name a few). Just never have been big on Looney Tunes and such…

[ajm08g]

What are you using HCQ? It’s been happening on chrome, desktop.

@Applejack

Please take care of each other, and @KM_726 , looking forward to next week when you share the secrets of life!

Unfortunately, life is still a mystery.

But I did find this!!!

@Applejack

Side note, I’m trying standing at my desk this week and it is both a nice change of pace and the worst thing I’ve ever done.

Ooh, if this is to become a regular thing, think about getting a drafting table. It’s the perfect height! (Yes, I have 2 desks—keeps the energy flowing​) Good luck, Captain! I believe in you!

@DanTheManOne1

Hey @Applejack, there is a conversation going on in the forums that I thought maybe you could shed some light on.

The issue of Catwoman that was archived and put on Comixology was not included in the latest update on DCUI. I (and others) noticed the press release for DCUI mentioned 5 new archival comics every week, but this week had six including Catwoman. Does that mean that going forward if more then 5 are archived we will not get them all like with this Catwoman? Was in an oversight? an evil plan launched by the Injustice League?

If you can help clarify what is going on that would be helpful

Heya DTMO1! Goo to see you

There have been quite a few issues noted as missing from greater series that should have been included.

Which year was this issue of Catwoman that was put on ComiXology released? (Sentences are hard, but I hope sense came through somewhere.)

I’d like to cross-reference it and make sure I’m sharing the right information when I check in on this.

In January, a new team absorbed the responsibilities of keeping up the DCUI tracker- this is the same team responsible for our physical publishing, Digital Firsts and collections. Where before we had a dedicated individual, it is now a task that has to be habitualized into their day-to-days. I’m gently reminding them week-to-week to check in on various reports, but it will take some time to normalize their workflow while being gentle and patient with their increased load.

To answer your question directly, I don’t think it’s as strict as “5 archive issues, and 5 only” - I think we’re aiming for around 5 for all digital platforms. From what you’re describing here, I would have expected it to be included on DCUI, as well.

Or an evil plan.

[ajm08g]

Okay, so far those seem to be the ones everyone’s has said so maybe those are the only one…

Edit: From mobile @HubCityQuestion, I tried an incognito page and that seemed to load things better. Only saw one missing profile picture a number of posts above, but once I got closer to this post now they seem okay.

Must be a cookie or cache thing is my best guess.

@patterson65.37405

Sorry it’s a bit late getting back to you. I think this is one instance where the remake outshines the original. The bounciness of the vocals, the way the beat of the song makes you feel like getting up to dance (though I like the original as well).

Yes, agreed! One is for dancin’, one is for relaxin’.

[Applejack]

@patterson65.37405

THE Zack Snyder? Applejack and DCUI, you have positively outdone yourselves!

What can I say…

[DeSade-acolyte]

“I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad. The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.”

Truer words were never spake.

@patterson65.37405

Hey, Applejack, do you think, when he’s just driving around on a night when there’s not much crime, Batman would play this song?

Yes. Without a doubt. But he remains stoic, like this:
