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

[Applejack]

@Reaganfan78

Hello Oracle​,
I’m now at the start of Season 9 of the office. It was sad when Michael Scott left, I don’t know how the show would have continue, it was like watching a Star Trek series without a captain. I’ve always like Andy, I think he does a great job as manager.
Now I’m in a final Season, YAY! Who knows what’s next.
Jim, Pam and Dwight will always be my favorite along with Michael. I also like Erin, Andy and Stanley.

I agree, the Jim/Pam/Dwight trio will always be the strongest trio! I love Erin, have you seen The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt? I saw that before The Office so I was really pleasantly surprised to see her in that role. I also like Angela, in a weird way.

@KookieSuperApe

Hi AJ,

My question for the week:

When will the app update release notes thread be coming to the Watchtower section? I always like to read those to see what’s been added to and fixed on the app/site.

Also, please pass along my thanks to the development team for getting the backwards user reading lists problem straightened out. It’s so nice to have all of my lists back in their proper order.

No problem, KookieSuperApe! That’s on me not getting the release notes to you- I needed to be granted access to the document where they live and I haven’t checked back in. I’ll try to get those up tomorrow

In the meantime, if you like talkin’ features, you can share your gratitude and ask any questions you have about upcoming features in this Q&A on Thursday with our Product Manager!

(I see you did already, but I’ll go ahead and post anyway for anyone else who wasn’t aware )

@Reaganfan78

Hello Oracle​,
Almost everyday I think we are getting new members, I’m really happy for you guys, changing DC Universe into DC Universe Infinite was probably the best things that ever happened. Change is not easy, but we can make it work.

Thank you so much for saying that, RF- it’s been a lot of work, and I haven’t been able to be in the forums as much, but I’m really happy to see it paying off!

[Reaganfan78]

You’re welcome.

Do you worry about monkeys eating popsicles

[Reaganfan78]

When they look guilty!

@Razzzcat

Hey Applejack! I noticed an awesome new toy in my profile: We have drafts now! Thank you! I’ll let you pic what tiny animal you’d like to celebrate with, but for now :

No cat has ever been more fabulous!!

And yay! I’m so happy that didn’t go unnoticed Although I am sorry to hear the functionality is interfering/being “draft happy”. Please let us know if you keep seeing it!

@Razzzcat

@Applejack

a very “popsicle sticks and paste” person.

Imagination and fortitude it’s what got the job done tho.

Right?!

@Razzzcat

@Applejack

please let me know about the alternative meats you find most successful- for fun, I was going to try a quinoa taco meat

Did you ever get a chance to make it?

My quinoa got freezer burn before I got a chance to try it But we will persevere!

@Razzzcat

Either way: the faux-chicken test went well! I don’t use a lot of ‘wheat-meat’, as I call it (seitan). Most of the time I just replace meat w/ various beans, nuts or veggies (or tofu),

This always seemed most logical and nutritious to me- less processed food, you know? You know.

@Razzzcat

and I’ll likely not change, but the flavor works, the texture is good for certain recipes or people trying to transition to plant-based. It was called Quorn. Beyond Meat is pretty legit replacement for ground beef too.

I tried Beyond Meat and it kind of creeped me out A little TOO legit!

@Razzzcat

You are correct in your assessment that plant items last longer. Generally kinder to your wallet, too, and who doesn’t like saving money—WHO?! Point them out! jkjk.

NO ONE!

@Razzzcat

Sorta. Okay, here’s what’s on. Keepin’ my chin up and this (part Typer) Have a great week.

I cannot wait to watch this video- I love The Wiz, I bet this is going to be a treat. You are le best for sharing!

[Razzzcat]

I do. All the time.

I don’t. That’s a lie.

[Applejack]

@TheRealDetectiveBane

Nice to come back to office hours! I want to know which name you voted for Nightwing’s doggo. Chimp out!

A voter never tells!

Thanks for swinging by, Chimp!

[Applejack]

@Green_Loontern

I must be instilled with the knowledge of what topic you’d choose for Trivia Tuseday, given the chance.

hahahaha I love this phrasing This is going to sound silly, but I would love to know a series of DC character’s creature comforts. Favorite food? Bedtime ritual? Book?

[patterson65.37405]

I agree. The site is more streamlined this way. Besides, the loss of the movies and shows wasn’t too big a deal for me since I own copies of several of them already.

[Reaganfan78]

I haven’t seen unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, is it good? As for the actress who played Erin, she’ll be in the new Home Alone Remake!

[Razzzcat]

@Applejack

I tried Beyond Meat and it kind of creeped me out A little TOO legit!

Ok, I’m glad Im not the only one! The first time, I kept saying…*nah, I think this could be real beef. This is weeeird!

Okay, heading out. Have a great week everyone! Thank you @Applejack!

@patterson65.37405

Hi @Applejack! Remember when I posted a link to that comedy sketch featuring Carol Burnett as Supergirl? Well, I think I’ve topped that. I give you…John Forsthe as Superman! Michael Crawford as Batman! Bob Hope as The Joker! Can your heart stand it?

Michael Crawford as Batman - YouTube

I know that was rough going, so here’s a pallette cleanser courtesy of Mister Excitement himself:

jackie wilson night - YouTube

I’ve only had a chance to watch the first few minutes, but the costumes in this are hilarious!! And this Jackie Wilson tracks makes for lovely background music.

I’ll trade you for:

Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay (Official Music Video)

[Razzzcat]

Happy birthday @patterson65.37405!!

[Applejack]

@MisfitCMJ

We do we talk to about extra cool special edition Wonder Woman shirts that essentially cost $25.00 and $10.00 shipping arriving in a shoddily-printed condition? You can’t really see the cool background images.

Awww man, that’s really disappointing Please contact the DC Shop directly- they may be able to issue you a refund:

[patterson65.37405]

Superman looks like he was juicin’ up in that sketch, though.

[Applejack]

@MisfitCMJ

Okay. So we post comic requests on the appropriate thread. That’s one vote. But eight people like that post. Doesn’t that make nine votes for that comic? Then, the cover of that same requested comic is posted on a DC Comic Cover A Day, and six more, entirely different people like that post. Doesn’t that make 15 votes/requests for that comic?

15 is like a whole demographic…

I personally don’t agree with using “likes” as votes because they can be indicators of popularity for the member themself. If someone responds “I second this”, there’s a clearer sentiment value there.

I confess we are not combing the forums for that kind of connective tissue. That would take artificial intelligence to scrub the forums for the repeated sentiment across topics. What is the issue in question you’re referring to?

Bear in mind that it is not the popularity of a request that informs if it is digitized or not. It could be the original issue is damaged or irretrievable at this time; or, there are larger picture priorities in place.

[Green_Loontern]

Honestly, no one was gonna be happy with the removal of the videos. But, videos aside, this could have stayed DCU and just been lost content. Instead, it got rebranded to DCUI and tried to make up for it. I love that we are getting more content. I just don’t like that some video content that was here isn’t on HBO Max, but most of it is there. Thank you for the added content.

@AlexanderKnox

Applejack, I’m having a bit of a technical issue. I’m trying to restore the Snyderverse on my tablet, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Could you talk to the higher-ups about getting that fixed?

Ah, I see the issue here- that action can only be accomplished on certain devices, like the Mother Box. But I can share with the higher-ups we’re getting requests on tablets!
