Map of Gotham City and its districts, from the 1989 DC Heroes RPG published by Mayfair.

[about-faces]

The above was the revised, streamlined version from Mayfair’s original RPG a few years earlier. For those interested in such things, here’s the original, expanded descriptions of Gotham’s districts from the 1986 module, Night in Gotham:

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

[dreamsy990]

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

[dreamsy990]

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls

[dreamsy990]

ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)

an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous

a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps

a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)

some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself

Bruce Wayne has a certain reputation that is spoken of only in hushed tones because the man tends to always vanish when rogues attack a gala or Wayne Entreprises meetings or even his Manor in Crest Hill. As in the billionaire was very much present one minute and the next second, he’s vanished only to appear looking worse for wear hours later by the GCPD or his security or having left early or is found stumbling out of a closet looking very disheveled. Why is this? It remains a topic discussed only in secret, in the blunt circles of Gotham or on the forums of the paranoid online.

Bruce Wayne is clearly sleeping with numerous rogues and juggling an array of affairs. The Joker is always very touchy-feely with Wayne and always makes vaguely romantic overtures. The Penguin has been photographed numerous times with Wayne sat in his knee in various states of dress in the Iceberg Lounge or passed out beside him in his booth, Penguin denies all rumours as Bruce is a little young for him. Harley Quinn is always referencing some sort of relationship between the two, talking as if she knows him other than a distant celebrity and occasionally a hostage. Two-Face is always very familiar with Wayne, bordering between protective and possessive, always asking where he is when he isn’t there. Wayne is either hiding from them to avoid airing their dirty laundry in public or he’s two timing them in one of the empty wings with another rogue.

On the reverse, Bruce Wayne is having an affair with Batman and is always tucked away before carnage and/or is dating a reporter from Metropolis which does seem to have more juice than the Batman rumour since Bruce is always shitting in him in the media, and there was the time that he and said reporter staggered out of a supply closet looking rumpled and bothered after Superman and Batman had left, which sparks the notion that Clark Kent is two-timing Superman with Bruce Wayne or Bruce Wayne is two-timing Batman and Superman with this Kent guy. Neither ever speak on the matter. Either way, Bruce Wayne is juggling numerous affairs with metas and vigilantes and there is the distinct possibility that his many children were possibly fathered by Superman.

There is also the possibility that while maybe not romantic, Bruce Wayne commands that much move and respect from the rogues that they purposefully kidnap him from events quietly, put him somewhere safe so he isn’t harmed by their schemes because of his good charity work, dedication to the reform of the city and saving of the earth and that they think he’s just that innocent that he of course ought to be spared since, look at him, he hasn’t a clue what’s going on.

Bruce Wayne is simply either that clueless or drinks so much that he simply doesn’t notice that there’s shit going down. There is CCTV footage of Bruce Wayne stumbling through the ruined ballroom, carrying a glass and a bottle of Rosé, asking where the band went because he so wants to do karaoke. Is it an effect of his tragic childhood? Most likely. There was that time he was found taking a nap in the museum under the Stegosaurus skeleton and when roused by furious GCPD officers, Bruce told him loudly that he just needed five more minutes.

Bruce Wayne is either enabling or hiring the rogues to break up society gatherings because he hates them that much. Bruce is actually the criminal mastermind pulling the strings of all the rogues in order to free up some of his calender, be it some ball, some boring gala or dinner. There’s also the idea that maybe Bruce Wayne is hiring all these rogues to distract Batman so he doesn’t investigate the phenomenon of Bruce Wayne adopting children just soon after their parents die or are injured tragically.

Bruce: Listen up, everyone. We had a murder this morning. The victim was found at 8:45 by a dog walker who let herself into his apartment.

Bruce: *shows a picture of the crime scene*

Dick: Oh my God, it's Two-Face and Joker. This is the work of the Joker and Two-Face, my white whales. They've finally resurfaced.

Bruce: Not this again.

Dick: Yes, this again. Those two have been on a murder spree for the past ten years and every time they kill someone, they taunt me. Look, there's a deck of cards.

Bruce: You say that whenever there's cards at the crime scene. You know how many people own cards, Dick?

Dick: Then explain this: Two-Face's catchphrase is "Deuces are wild." Now, look around the apartment. Two chairs, two paintings, two pillows.

Bruce: There are three lamps.

Dick: You think Joker and Two-Face care about lamps? You sound so dumb right now. This is why you don't have an arch nemesis, Bruce, because you focus on the wrong details.

Bruce: Maybe I don't have an arch nemesis because I solve all my crimes.

Bruce Forgetting He's Batman on Patrol part 2

Yes, Bruce forgetting he's the Bat when the Robins or the Bat Family screw up but I would like to add, Bruce doing this to other people. He's so tired, so done, he just restores to factory settings - Bat Dad.

Poison Ivy after swamping an entire high rise in moss and vines: "Ivy do you pay rent in that building? No? Then stop growing shit on the walls."

Tying up up the Riddler and giving him a pat on the head before taking off: "That's not going anywhere"

Commissioner Gordon approaching Batman who has his eyes closed, Bats waking up going: "I'm just resting my eyes."

After Penguin gets a bloody nose fighting Batman: "Looks like we'll have to amputate."

Talon clinging to the side of some building: "Get the hell down. I’m not going to tell you again"

Two Face after making a shitty decision he clearly isn't too happy about: "If the coin told you to jump off a cliff, would you?"

Mr Freeze creating an "endless" winter: "STOP MESSING WITH THE THERMOSAT"

The Joker mimicking Bats: "Don't use that tone with me."

Bane yelling "I AM BANE": "Hi Bane, I'm Batman"
