  • The first computer I had for myself was an MSI gaming laptop with a GTX 950m GPU. It was pretty shitty. Overheated immediately, so when rendering only the first two frames went quickly, but then it slowed to a crawl. Same with games. Everything ran badly on it because it would just jump to 99°C and immediately get throttled. Damn thing idled at nearly 60°C.

    The first computer I remember my family having was one of those very colourful Mac desktop computers.













  • No reasons given. And up until the cease and desist, the team working on the project was in good standing with LEGO.

    Keep in mind, there currently isn’t any existing LEGO Bionicle theme. No official merchandise is being sold. There exist literally not a single official ongoing Bionicle project from LEGO (as far as the public is aware). And it has been like that since the cancellation of Bionicle G2 back in 2015.



  • There was a big ambitious project called “Masks of Power” which was going to be a full 3D action platformer. It looked truly amazing for a fan project, certainly better than anything LEGO has done for Bionicle.

    The team had been working on the project for eight years. In that time they’ve had multiple talks with officials from LEGO, who seemed to be fine with it (especially since Bionicle has been dead for 10 years). LEGO featured the project on their official podcast, and even allowed for a Steam release, so long as it remained free and none profit.

    We were going to get the first demo of that game a few months from now. But two weeks ago LEGO sent a cease and desist, and the project is dead.

    There are several large, ambitious projects in the works by Bionicle fans, a number of them animation projects, one of which I’m part of as 3D artist… But now with Team Kanohi and their game project lynched, we’re all feeling like there’s a sword hanging over our heads.
