My first thought is that the french army uniform at the time was blue (I think), and that is what he tended to be drawn wearing.Trying to create an animation for a Napoleon figure.

Do you think the figure itself looks terribly bad?
I am not good with actual pixel work.

I was basically working with this figurine, which may just be awful itself. I will try some others
Just changing the green to blue will be easy, though.

Blue tunic, white shirt and trousers with grey greatcoat sometimes worn over it.
The picture looks decent as pixelated pictures go.

I bet the first guy to ever wear a hat was brutally murdered by the rest of his tribe
We had a social group here, when the forum was still vBulletin, and an entire subforum at IALS. People were supportive, nobody was nasty, and of course the overall message was "we support you, we will listen non-judgmentally to anything you need to say, but please consult the professionals, use a hot line, get help."
That looks pretty close to this portrait

Looks good - it's easily recognisable as him
the hat is too big

I think the hat is a fine size for replicating the character. Too small and it looks like he’s got a beehive. Besides, big hat for big ego!

Sounds right, Texans are famous for big hats.

The idea is to have Napoleon as one of the puppets, in the Puppet State project I had made a thread about.
Although the other puppets will be scarier, and not all human.
Napoleon will likely be player-controlled, or the first player-controlled puppet.

I am not aware of any significant different version. The Minotaur was a curse, brought by Poseidon because Minos refused to sacrifice a bull as he had promised. So he got to keep the bull and received one more
I like Varoufakis. It's not like he would really focus on the literary aspect, of course, and at least he (unlike Dante) didn't think the Minotaur had the body of a bull and the head of a man.
Varoufakis gave a summary of global politics in 2021 in a very recent podcast.

It also provided a nice segue into the next story about mazes.

This one provided a clew (nyuk, nyuk) about how Theseus navigated the labyrinth.
First, Ariadne didn't give him a ball of string, but a golden thread.
Second: Why would you need a thread at all? A labyrinth doesn't have intersections!
Third: More on the golden thread: as in the one that used to run through British "justice" before Julian Assange.
They certainly do. That's why it's easy to get lost in them, if you haven't figured out a way to mark which way you've already gone. Something with no intersections means that you won't ever get lost, since you can just turn around and go back the way you came.

It will take massive amounts of work to look decent...
Onwards, to victory
At least the background - various toys, mostly byzantine cathedrals - will compliment it.

It’s funny because, uh, it’s bigger than a normal hat.
