r/ReBoot

Just in time to throw on your bedslinger before the Season 1 finale, One and Zero are ready for you to download to *your* mainframe, slice, and print! I've included a number of options - like a baggy eye for the ones and un-patterened sides for the zeroes.

I'm really excited to see what you make of them when you reboot their bits into atoms.

I remember this game being incredibly difficult, so I could never progress without using chest codes—which would inevitably result in me just zip-boarding around the Floating Point Park level for about an hour.

After reading the post about the vidwindow sound effect, the back of my brain has been itching to build the look and feel of Mainframe into my Home Assistant dashboards and voice control.

Similar to how the ST:TNG fans have LCARS everything, it’s time to have the same thing for us!

To the fine folks at ReBoot Rewind — and my apologies for not yet watching the IMAX 30 minute you just posted — have you come across any isolated graphics and sound effects that could be useful?

I deeply appreciate everything you’re doing, I worked in television in Toronto in the early 90s and the inherent complexity of living in a Victorian mechanical world and a digital future at the same time - I’ve even worked with the D2 / D3 machines that came after your D1s. You’re working miracles and we all love you for it.

(Yes, the image is AI - I do not feel bad for keeping some binomes employed!)

Did this after my last full watch-through of the series, maybe someday I'll actually get good enough with stained glass so I can recreate this as a real window piece.

Here's a clip from way back in 2009, of the Sunday ReBoot panel at the Anime Evolution convention featuring the late Michael Donovan discussing his primary voice acting roles in ReBoot. He also shares a small story about how and why Cecil is a snooty French waiter.

You called, sugar?

Joining Mainframe's populace is the humble Zero! With articulation at the shoulders and beside the "head" - they can animate a little bit like their friend One.

Again, designed fresh from the ground up. I'm trying to use as many of the same parts between the two models as possible, so that they're a similar build experience because... yes, I do plan on releasing them out into the wild as printable STLs. What fun are a couple binomes if I'm the only one who can enjoy them?

I need a bit to process the files, make sure I have them in a place where I'm happy, and get them uploaded to a host (likely both Printables and Thingiverse). There's a couple things I need to shift - incorporating the chevron pie slice design on the shoulder joints, working a little bit on tolerance and fit, etc.

Maybe I'll have them uploaded in time for you to print them to celebrate the finale of Season 1 - we'll see if I can get there. In the meantime, these two are gonna accompany me and my tiny human on the couch as we watch Identity Crisis tonight!

See the One post from last week for more glamor shots of that little friend.
