For anyone who wasn't able to call in to Dark Force BBS yesterday to see Dark Lord's April Fools' Day prank, here's a video capture of my session.
Something simple, fun, and unexpected.

Break Into Chat · April Fools' Day prank on Dark Force BBS - Break Into ChatDark Lord, sysop of Dark Force BBS, tries hard to keep his users engaged. Yesterday for April Fools’ Day, he surprised them with a fun prank. He changed the board’s logon sequence to make it look like a powerful AI calling itself “The Wraith” had taken over the board. But that wasn’t all. The BBS […]
The sysop of DarkForce BBS customized his board today for April Fools' Day. Telnet to darkforce-bbs.dyndns.org:1040 to check it out!
It's an Atari ST BBS, so I recommend using SyncTerm's new VT52 mode for an authentic experience.

my #textmode font [ DUNGEON.mode ] is out now for free on @itchio !
https://datagoblin.itch.io/dungeonmode
it's a mash-up of tileset and typeface, inspired by old school roguelikes and dungeon crawlers - hope y'all like it!
Due to what appears to be MRC server issues, it looks like #thEgrAvYtrAIn is postponed until StackFault is about to fix the server.

Mistodon: originally drawn in #pixelart as part of @grymmjack 's "food gang" as seen a few days ago, this saucy character was redrawn in #ANSIart as interface art for the new IMBIBE01 food-themed electronic magazine. We then took things a step further and also used him in a promo for Chicago's #textmode art-loving @paperthinpizza , purveyors of delicious pies and terrible Figlet logos.

In recent weeks I've been playing "DDST," a fun adventure game for Atari ST BBSes that I had never tried before.
I *love* that it lets you save basically whenever you want. Makes it possible to avoid losing progress while exploring dungeons crowded with monsters and traps.
My wife took a quick peek while I was in a dungeon and asked if it was a QR code. Nope ... just some VT52 text art!

ASCII Art is so beautiful that when I see it I remain speechless and staring at it for several minutes: it is a real art and I admire anyone who is capable of creating these masterpieces!
