BBC News have done an article about Wordle. They mention the time the Wordle solution happened to be FETUS on the day the US Supreme Court were being weird, but not the day the solution to Wordle and Mojole was the same. WHOOP, wasn't it? A shocking omission.

Here is a render of all the three models side by side:

The problem with the Lechuck sprite in The Secret of Monkey island is not only the transparent parts (which are much scarcer and available in much less variety of elements), but specially the blue outline that surrounds the character: You can get away with that in 2D to depict a see-through character, but in 3D, I would need to do most of the character in trans-clear color, and without that blue outline, it just does not look the same and would defeat the whole purpose of the endeavor. I did look into it, but frankly I wasn't able to make it look remotely good. MI2 LeChuck was much more appropriate for this sort of model. Besides, I far prefer the look of the character in the second game, so it was a no brainer

Now onto Lechuck, as seen in Lechuck's Revenge. This what I used as reference: And here is the LEGO model: And the 3D revolving GIF:

whoah! SIX letters! This is the LeChuck's Revenge-like upgrade to Mojole. Bigger, better, more! I bet it is going to end on some grand fulfilling finale that everybody is happy about. 👕 I beat #MojoleXtreme #377 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 4/6 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 🖤🖤💛💛🖤🖤 🖤💛💛💚💚💚 💚💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/ @Huz time for new starters 😬

Ah, good to know, thanks for the update https://mastodon.social/@mixnmojo@idlethumbs.social/110136132775984889 uh oh... Uh oh!

I. AM. A. PERSON. OF. FLESH. AND. BLOOD. PLEASE. ENGAGE. IN. DISCUSSION... BLEEP! BLOOP! BLAP!

I suspected one of the issues with the outline is more, that it outlines the silhouette, which doesn't usually work well with real life 3d models. Now that YOU mention that, it might just be two large buttons and a wrinkle. Let's exhange headcanons 🤝

Wow seeing him like this, you'd need some real voodoo to make it happen. Maybe kill some bricks to get ghost bricks? LEGO bricks are immortal though so it probably wouldn't work 😉 Also now that you posted this sprite I noticed for the first time, that LeChuck must be wearing some kind of x-ray coat, or a very strange cut of pants. You can see where his hip bone connects to the... chest bone... 🎶 from behind 👀

Loving that LeChuck

It is difficult to predict when or if you will get into an internet argument with a bot, as it largely depends on your online behavior and the prevalence of bots in the platforms you use. However, I can assure you that there are already many bots and automated systems that are designed to interact with people online and can sometimes engage in arguments. It's important to stay vigilant and skeptical of online interactions, and to be aware that not all online users may be human.

Caught up to Book 2, and also remembered to update the thread title. Great short chapter. Suspenseful execution of a failed plan. And I always love those Davies/Shandy one-on-ones. Looking forward to Chapter 9!
