We at #Pizzatoe #Pt put a lot of effort into polishing this version — adding intricate details to the hair, clothes, and accessories. We also redesigned the background, placing the character deep inside a mysterious cave to spark an adventure. We love the dynamic energy this piece brings.

Is this a dagger which I see before me [Press R1 for LIGHT ATTACK], The handle toward my hand [Press R2 for HEAVY ATTACK]? Come, let me clutch thee [Hold R2 for CHARGE ATTACK]. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still [Press L1 + R2 for PHANTOM ATTACK (expends Ghost Power)].

Great news. Gonna ship these out as soon as I can get some stamps

Mistigram: when Dosdoc learned of our plans for the IMBIBE01 electronic magazine, he looked for food-themed literature to adapt into #ANSIart, as per his unique art practice... yielding this conversion of #WendellMinor's cover art to Fannie Flagg's 1987 novel #FriedGreenTomatoesAtTheWhistlestopCafe.

Mistigram: this one has a fun history - Happyfish drew this crunchy #ANSIart logo for the food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine back in its first wind just before the turn of the century, unaware it would wait a further quarter-century before being seen and enjoyed by any other living soul.

Mistigram: This #RIPscrip vector illustration, advertising watOr's BBS toOns town, was drawn by Neophyte for our Mistigris World Tour stop visiting Dark Illustrated in the DARK0597 artpack collection, released 28 years ago this month.

all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art

Mistigram: this very organic #ANSIart logo for Rage's BBS Neosporin was drawn by Mr. Wrong and included in our M-9805 artpack collection released 27 years ago this month.

Mistigram: dwelling a little longer on our Mistigris World Tour stop in DARK0597, here's a newschool #ASCIIart logo for Entropy (well, "E" at least) drawn by Dead Soul.

Mistigram: to cleanse the palate a bit, here's some mysteriously glowing ooze... 28 years ago, the Mistigris World Tour made guest appearances with our artscene colleagues in Dark Illustrated. Here's an #ANSIart logo from DARK0597, a collaboration between our Neophyte and their Discofunk 1974.

Mistigram: in all the beverage discourse, we overlooked one of the all-time classics. @littlebitspace.bsky.social represents here with this bird's eye #asciiart representation of a Japanese #tea ceremony service, titled "Tea Is Eternal", from the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Mistigram: assuming you've recovered from the mega hangover resulting from all that wine, strong coffee & soda pop, Sentience comes to the rescue with a recipe for a nootropic smart drink smoothie, direct from a '90s rave! This was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Mistigram: while we're covering beverages, here's @Joninscii's self-drinking #ASCIIart #coffee cup to get your week started! This was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Mistigram: if the Cola Wars discourse makes you feel like a madman, why not have a drink like someone absolutely deranged, and enjoy a bottle of red wine served in a glass? This #teletext animation was made by @pixelblip.bsky.social & included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Mistigram: a masked fighter is climbing into the Cola Wars ring... and it's #MountainDew, drawn in #ANSIart by @Codefenix of Constructive Chaos BBS, testifying on behalf of his BBS's many late-night callers. This screen was included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Mistigram: I'm sorry, I posted the Pepsi logo yesterday and ... well, the #ColaWars are back on, it seems. This #teletext portrait of a classic #CocaCola can was drawn by @pixelblip.bsky.social and included with the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Mistigram: Lupo the Butcher's recipe for #SexInAPan originated from 1993's #Spoon tfile ezine, and was coloured (in the process revealing for the first time in 32 years that the header art depicted a meat cleaver!) and reprinted in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Mistigram: we've been waiting a couple of months to remember this muy caliente piece on this specific day of the week, but at long last everything is in place, so please enjoy with me @codefenix.bsky.social 's #ANSIart celebration of Mexican food for #TacoTuesday tonight!

"Princess Mononoke" by xiaox. #ascii #asciiart #textmode #darksilk

Mistigram: this scene from #JackAndTheBeanstalk, portraying the tiny Englishman clambering over enormous food items in the giant's larder, was drawn in #ASCIIart by @mozz-us.bsky.social and included in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.

Mistigram: this cute little #ANSIart gang, drawn by LDA, looks like they're about to start singing in harmony like a sweet bowl full of fruity Muppets. They acted as a menu icon for the "art gallery" section in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 e-mag.

Mistigram: there's not much hot gossip in the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine, but nevertheless there @littlebitspace.bsky.social was, spilling the #tea, #ASCIIart style. Truly a scene to make Arthur Dent cry.

I recreated Joey's Gibson virus from the movie Hackers and it runs on a vintage Powerbook Duo. When you launch the "virus" it makes a new post to the Bluesky bot @hacktheplanet.simone.computer Before you ask no this is not actually a virus 😜 #hacktheplanet #retrocomputing #vintageapple

Mistigram: incredibly, this epic @2Stoned #ANSIart tapestry on last weekend's seasonal #Blender2025B topics of #Rastafarian / #EggHunt / #JurassicPark won only second place. Hats off to all the participants, next improvised computer art compo is coming up in July!

Mistigram: and since we're looking at #Oblivion today, here's a #Daedric letter O, a symbol of Conjuration, drawn by @littlebitspace as #ASCIIart four years ago, representing the Oblivion Gates.

Mistigram: There's a lot of buzz on the Internet right now about the new remaster of Bethesda's 2006 Elder Scrolls game #Oblivion, but who is standing up for the BBS software Oblivion/2 (or "Too")?

Mistigram: from the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 e-mag, we share this #ANSIart illustration by @theoddfirefox.bsky.social in homage to #DungeonMeshi / #DeliciousInDungeon. No recipe is provided, but you can expect that this delicious stew simmering in a shield is made of savoury monster body parts.

Mistigram: this #teletext tribute to the once-ubiquitous #LittleChef UK restaurant chain was drawn by @andyuglifruit and included alongside the recent food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine.
