#block-ascii — Public Fediverse posts

Mistigram: the new MIST0426 artpack collection just dropped, a varied visual celebration of books and literature!

Thanks to The War On Xmas for the FILE_ID.DIZ artwork, a #blockASCII adaptation of #SimonAndSchuster's logo.

Mistodon: sometimes there's a gap between releases on our activity schedule, but please don't interpret it as our turning our backs on the community! We just need a little time to recharge our batteries and cook up more silly ideas for artpacks. This #blockASCII illustration, "we MiST you", was drawn by LDA and included in the MIST0223 artpack released three years ago this month.

ADVENT24/09_DEC24

Mistigram: LDA shares with us this stark winter landscape, drawn for this date in last year’s ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar. Both last and this year’s editions of the calendar can function as BBS doors, and you can see it in effect at X-Bit BBS at https://x-bit.org/

MIST1025/LITTLEBITSPACE-DANSE_MACABRE

Mistigram: Bystanders observing this gnarly #sk8r dude might be moved to remark: siiiick! No: in fact, he is completely deceased! But not even death can keep a wicked shredder down. This monochrome #ANSIart #skeleton, titled #DanseMacabre, is the handiwork of @littlebitspace, and was included in last month’s spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

Mistodon: Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make! This #blockASCII / #ANSIart portrait of #BelaLugosi in Universal's 1931 film adaptation of #Dracula was drawn by @axb and included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

Mistodon: Boo! Here's LDA's #blockASCII / #ANSIart FILE_ID for the spooky new MIST1025 artpack collection, including a modest dose of seasonal computer art in vintage & #textmode graphics formats. Browse the complete collection via https://16colo.rs/pack/mist1025/

Mistodon: our quarterly improvised computer art compo is coming up again this weekend, run via channel #blender on the EFNet IRC. Here's a #blockascii specimen by @axb from last year's BLNDRF2024C, kicking ass(cii) even if you can't necessarily tell that the NECROMANCER is part of the OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY.

Mistodon: we've never released a .WAD, but in the wake of "DOOM: The Gallery Experience" perhaps we should try our hand at it. In the meantime, here's a stone cold #ASCIIart / #blockASCII Mistfunk logo drawn by @littlebitspace and used as an infofile header in the recent MIST-30 celebration artpack.

Mistodon: this vaguely menacing #blockASCII illustration, #LifesAGas, is the handiwork of @axb and was included in the recent MIST-30 artpack collection.

Mistodon: for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, @littlebitspace drew a magnificent and chilling #blockASCII portrait of the late Jolly Old St. Nick, apparently reduced to nowt but bones and beard following his magical night's impossible exertions.

Mistodon: with aid of a microscope, @littlebitspace conducted some #blockASCII research investigating just why snowflakes are so cold in this screen from today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar. His report back: be very glad they are not warm.

Mistodon: @littlebitspace drew this cozy-but-not-relaxing #monochrome #blockASCII screen of an indoor view through a crowded window on a snowy day for this date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar. The house rule is: don't rub the cat's tummy.

Mistodon: For today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, @littlebitspace drew a tiny 1-bit #textmode #pixelart design writ large in #blockASCII, of what appears to be a fool, jester or joker in the Mistigris poker vein previously explored.

Mistodon: this small #ANSIart (or #blockASCII) quickie #werewolf illustration, 'Howl', in the monochrome pixelart style of EzeeShady, was a very welcome guest appearance by @TheGreenHerring in last month's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.

Mistodon: a #blockASCII reworking of the M20 logo drawn for our use by long fellow traveller mattmatthew of blocktronics, to christen the inaugural test of @consolejockey 's automated Mistigram syndicator in this, the month of our 30th anniversary celebration.

Mistodon: We've successfully decrypted the signal emerging from the wormhole -- turns out it's an encrypted message, announcing that the annual science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection has arrived, as heralded by this handsome #blockASCII FILE_ID.DIZ illustration of #Bespin's #CloudCity from #TheEmpireStrikesBack, drawn by LDA.

Mistodon: this uncoloured #ANSIart (#blockASCII technically) portrait of pop artist #AndyWarhol is the handiwork of @axbmusic. It was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.
