Got an amazing post for y'all today. This one took some diving!
Color chart of the Mata Nui Online Game Character Creation Kit. Work on this was started by Matoran Onknu and later Takuma Nuva
These sprites are very large, so I'll post a read more below. Onknu's account was lost to time, and Takuma Nuva's account doesn't contain very many kits. Refy's account led me to Roablin, the unsung hero of the MNOLG-style Character Creation Kit. This user took the lost work of Onknu and Takuma Nuva and assembled complete sprite kits.

Bonus test Bohrok that appears to have been made by Refy (not 100% sure)

quality time with your uncle
*silently judges you*
I really love your "waifu stickers", do you mind if I drew the designs sometime? I really dig the zero-suit look they got and want to try my hand at it. I'll credit you if I post it on here!
Cheers, really enjoying your work so far!
You're legit one of my favorite artists, I would love to see how you interpret just a silly idea I had for stickers for my water bottle lmao I know I just did a zero suit nokama but the original design was actually inspired by Spartan techsuits from Halo. But seriously, go for it
Hey kid you want a job?
Great get online and go to a job board. Indeed, Linkedin whatever. Now you're gonna search for a role that's in your city, fits your qualifications, and doesn't seem like a bad time.
See that easy apply button? Don't hit it they just throw those in the trash. Now you're gonna want to go to the company's website and check their careers page.
Oh? That job doesn't exist anymore. Cool go back to the job board and find another one.
Great you found another job, you're on the company's career page and the job exists!! So you're going to need to make an account on the career page website. They're using Workday, the same site as the last job you applied for? Who cares? You need to make another account for THIS job's workday page.
Now you're going to upload your resume. That'll autopopulate about 15 boxes with everything on your resume, except formatted wrong and with tons of errors. So just go through and painstakingly check the dates on all of that and rewrite everything you already laid out in an aesthetically pleasing format on your resume.
Ok time for the cover letter, explain why this specific job and company are deeply important to you. You love their mission statement and wouldn't even laugh if their ceo was gunned down in the street. You'll really want to reiterate the things you just spent the last 20 minutes filling out on the resume section
(Remember to include language from the job description, people who work in HR are lower than dogs and they need patterns or they get confused.) Write about a page, but hey don't sound too desperate or robotic this is where they judge your character!
Maybe add your portfolio site at the end here, who knows if that helps no one has ever clicked mine haha.
Anywayyy time to hit apply! Congrats! You'll see that confirmation email come in and you should be getting the rejection letter in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately your resume didn't have the right buzzwords and the AI auto rejected you :(
Time to start again and try not to kill yourself!
A Tridax Pod and Shadow Leech from Bionicle!
(If enough people are interested, I'll make a resource pack that turns Shulker Boxes into Tridax pods and Shulkers into Shadow Leeches)
You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?
I just found the greatest thing.
This is a canary resuscitator.
When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.
By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.
Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!
Hnnngggggg people outside the Bionicle fandom send me* asks about Bionicle please I can't sleep and I want to talk about it.
*specifically the OP of this post.
