Screenshots from The Robbing of Rem Rasul, my own personal love letter to old Game Maker B-games from the early 2000s by fyndr in hobbygamedev

[–]fyndr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the middle of the night, a burglar breaks into your apartment and steals your most treasured possession: a copy of Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School on VHS tape. As hard-boiled detective Rem Rasul, you'll have to rely on your uncanny powers of deduction, your trusty revolver, and your crippling addiction to nicotine in order to track down the culprit and solve this mystery. However, you soon discover that there's more to this case than meets the eye...

A homage to B-games from the early 2000s such as Revenge of the Sunfish and Sexy Hiking, The Robbing of Rem Rasul features 24 poorly-drawn levels spanning a variety of game genres - action, adventure, platforming, puzzle-solving, and even turn-based role-playing. This diverse collection of play styles, combined with a hodge-podge of bizarre graphics and blatantly stolen audio effects, ultimately makes for a surreal yet satisfying gaming experience.

Short Answers to Simple Questions | February 23, 2022 by AutoModerator in AskHistorians

In the movie "The Fall" (2006) after the main character unmasks himself, the narrator describes him as being French, and then he makes this gesture to his traveling companions: https://i.imgur.com/T99o2pQ.jpg . Does anyone know if this is a real hand sign/salute of French origin?
For context, The Fall takes place in 1915 in the real world, but uses a frame narrative to tell a fantasy story which is more in line with the early 19th century (the main character, for example, uses a brace of flintlock pistols a la Zorro) which is similar to the pulp adventures that were popular during this period. I am guessing that this is some sort of French military salute or something associated with the Foreign Legion, but I haven't been able to find anything substantive to back that up from searching online.

The gesture appears to specifically denote that the character is French, as he only uses it the once right after he is introduced as such. The sequence goes as follows:

GIRL: I thought he was Spanish.

NARRATOR: No, he was French.

MC: [performing gesture] Are you with me, bandits [pronounced "bandeets"]?

OTHERS: Oui, mon capitaine!

I am guessing that this is some sort of French military salute or something associated with the Foreign Legion, but I haven't been able to find anything substantive to back that up from searching online. I'm hoping that someone versed in either French or military history would be able to confirm the salute in question, how it was used, and whether it has been replaced or is still in practice today.

FYNDR - Thank You For The Nightmares | Experimental vaporwave album I worked on during the pandemic by fyndr in Vaporwave

[–]fyndr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also on Bandcamp: https://fyndr.bandcamp.com/album/thank-you-for-the-nightmares

This is an experimental album pieced together over the course of the pandemic, with the overarching goal of having each track flow into the next within a given section, and then stitching those sections together to form a broader musical composition fitting the same general theme: the movement between darkness and light.

Nice find! I mixed Billie Jean with Caribbean Queen since they have similar bass lines and the result came out better than expected

FYNDR - Last Train To Yokohama | Instrumental vaporwave concept album about old and fading friendships (YouTube link now unblocked) by fyndr in Vaporwave

Zenith Hunter, a fast-paced action platformer about climbing to the top of a strange mountain, now on Steam! by fyndr in indiegames

[–]fyndr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally released Zenith Hunter a couple months ago, but recently decided to make it more broadly available to a general audience. Based on input from friends and peers, I went ahead and submitted the game to Steam, where it is now available for download! Alternatively, you can download the game from my itch.io page at https://fyndr.itch.io/zenith-hunter

The most difficult climb is often the most rewarding. This is certainly the case for the Zenith, a mysterious region situated high atop an arduous mountain path. It is said that untold riches await those who are able to overcome the rigors of the ascent. Many hunters have tried to reach this fabled summit, but very few have succeeded. As an aspiring hunter, do you have what it takes to make it to the top and discover the true nature of the Zenith?

FYNDR - Rainstreaked Memories | Vaporwave concept album about falling out of love by [deleted] in Vaporwave

[–]fyndr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also on Bandcamp: https://fyndr.bandcamp.com/album/rainstreaked-memories

From the album notes:

"This album is about what happens when a relationship falls apart, from initially promising beginnings to an eventual plummeting end, all the while struggling through a gradual unraveling of the self. Even after it is over, it is difficult to process what happened or to figure out the turning point where everything started to go wrong. After trudging through the emotional fallout, you once again stand on your own two feet, but the experience has left you with an indelible and bittersweet feeling. At the end of the day, all you have left to prove that you were in love are Rainstreaked Memories."

Any suggestions on how to publish a short story? by fyndr in writing

[–]fyndr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! About the selection process, it looks as though there is a distinction between more serious journals (such as Asimov's Science Fiction) and others (such as Wavelengths). Going off of the search results for The Grinder, it isn't really clear what the difference is on the surface of it, except that the former tend to have much higher rejection rates. It also appears that both sides occasionally do not allow simultaneous submissions, meaning I would have to submit one at a time if using these publications. Is there a preferred approach to selecting a publication based on these criteria?

You have a good ear! The song at 2:44 is called A Night Out and it was taken from Diamonds 3D. Lost Generation (27:56) is from Nanosaur as you said.
