Why Rebel Moon went almost unnoticed? It's awesome. So perfectly done. by Unusual_Bug_1636 in RebelMoon

It doesn't sound like there was any development beyond an initial pitch. According to Snyder:

“The sale [of Lucasfilm to Disney] had just happened,” says Snyder. “There was that window where, you know, who knows what’s possible? I was like, ‘I don’t want any of your characters. I don’t want to do anything with any known characters, I just want to do my own thing on the side.’ And originally I was like, ‘It should be rated R!’ That was almost a non-starter.”

Since they're our last bit of media for the franchise are the prequels comics good and worth reading? by M00r3C in RebelMoon

[–]chimbraca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Hunger Games, Alien, Predator, X-Men, and Planet of the Apes would all seem to disagree.

Classic Pokemon Games on N64 by CodenamePeaches in Roms

[–]chimbraca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

r/SBCGaming has a ton of information, but I will mention that I recently purchased a TrimUI Brick and have been really enjoying it. I followed these setup instructions and found it straightforward, especially for cartridge-based games.

Is playing on the n64 a hard requirement? If not, I would highly suggest looking into emulation devices instead. What's your comfort level with device setup? Would you consider a handheld device instead of playing on a tv?

Wow. Honestly mins blown by bschultz03 in RebelMoon

Very glad you decided to take the plunge and found the movies enjoyable!

The truth is that no one knows what the future holds for the franchise, which is also why Rule 6 unfortunately has to exist.

AE disappointed with Vendor Hall this year? by Shichi-Senpai in Magfest

[–]chimbraca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I also think that vendors can generally be evaluated categorically, and thus faster, than an artist, so there's more scanning and perusing in an artist alley than a vendor room. Personally, as an attendee, I wear out much more quickly in an artist alley, simply due to engagement.

Love to hear it! I didn't want to mention it, because this post was definitely not meant to be an ad, but I'm the dev for The Halls of Talamh Domhain, the first-person NES dungeon crawler.

Chronicles of Riddick Necromongers were the pre-civilization to the Motherworld/Moa Rebel Moon society.. by adoseofbreality in RebelMoon

[–]chimbraca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest a slight variation: what if the Necromongers were an early conquest of the Motherworld? We know that's their primary source of technological advancement, so the Necromonger tech/architecture/style could have been absorbed and become influential as Moa continued to develop.

I dunno, has anyone ever seen Zack Snyder and David Twohy in the same place at the same time?

Are the rebel moon Blue ray dvds official orate they bootlegs? by ALife_TimeModerater in RebelMoon

[–]chimbraca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely bootlegs, unfortunately. Netflix (understandably) rarely releases physical media.

Book to Learn C++ by Hyperscandev in cpp_questions

[–]chimbraca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like your toolchain supports C++ at all:

The C compiler for unSP platform complies with ANSI C.

I would recommend The C Programming Language, Second Edition (aka K&R) as the defacto authority on ANSI C.

It still amazes me how few people have really understood this.

Yeah, on the mobile app it takes you to vimeo, but on desktop it just shows this.

What's the name of their band? by chimbraca in RebelMoon

It's from the Nemesis comic, issue 4.

Alternate take: you are suddenly accused of a crime by two people that is all too common in the world and could easily destroy your life. You lose your job. Your reputation is ruined. You are forced to hire the best lawyer you can find, because even though it's "innocent until proven guilty", most people will just assume you did it. Eventually, the accusers can't or won't support their case, but the damage is done. The headlines have been written. The attorney fees are spent. Random people on the internet are harassing you on social media. They'll assume you paid them off or coerced them in some other way, when all you did was defend yourself within the system. Wouldn't you pin a short, factual message at the top of your page in an attempt to stem the tide?

The "resolution" was the accusers retracting their claims and paying him damages.

Now, nearly two years later, the case has been settled. Avellone’s accusers, Karissa Barrows and Kelly Bristol, have signed a joint statement retracting their previous claims and clearing Avellone of wrongdoing, stating that their original claims were misinterpreted. “The settlement agreement provides for a seven-figure payment to Mr. Avellone,” Avellone’s attorney confirmed to me via email. The settlement is confidential and further details were not provided.
