It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

This is pretty amazing. Draw accurate landscapes from The Sentinel on a pen plotter? And animate them? I'm definitely in!

Mistigram: There's a beautiful spring day going on outside so today we share this butterfly riot drawn in monochrome #ASCIIart by @ascii.mozz.us . It was included in the recent unthemed MIST0226 artpack, and if we'd been right-thinking it would have been the FILE_ID.DIZ for that collection!

Ahem, that artist again is @littlebitspace.bsky.social !

Behind a teapot and cup on a wooden outdoor table sweeps a bough heavily laden with cherry blossoms. In the far distance, across a lake, is visible a snowcapped mountaintop and the scraps of scanty pink clouds passing far above it.

Jittery, angular letters that suggest a hex grid orientation spell out the name Axel Barebones.

Mistigram: if you ever wondered just what @axb.bsky.social stood for, it's truth, justice, and ... never mind, it's initials for Axel Barebones. And here he is to remind us in #ASCIIart himself! This piece was included in the recent unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.

Many love "PaRappa the Rapper", but not many know of Rodney Greenblat's earlier works. Like the 1994 CD-ROM "Dazzeloids"? You might not be ready:

A long strip of ANSI art depicting aliens beaming down from a UFO over a grassy field at night, with mountains in the distance, and walking down a path to greet us, the people of Earth. They are various flavors of animalistic, with pointed ears, long tails, and digitigrade legs; and have only three fingers on each hand. The most visible of these creatures are various bright colors and clad in bodysuits. A pink alien in white and a white alien in black walk together, a yellow alien in blue with a blue-tufted tail strides on after them, and a cyan alien in red with a red-tufted tail waves to Earthlings off-screen, close enough to us that we can see their black beady eyes. In the front, closest to us, is a green fish-like alien in red wearing red-rimmed glasses, smiling and waving to us while their fish tail swishes behind them.
