@8BitBoyzRetro lol :) Same! I yearn for the homeland <g>

@xbitbbs Super awesome!!! 64% Irish approves here! ;)

Slow & steady progress! BBS software w/no support, but w/Bucko's vast knowledge, maybe one other & myself pushing through to make this 1997 Amiga BBS work w/no modernization other than a y2k patch last month. This is BBSing! #BBS #Amiga #OriginalSocialMedia

@ruysdael_van @Osinttechnical Riddick: Furya.. omg omg omg :D

@xbitbbs @Osinttechnical Yeah, all 3 of them😊 The 4th is still in the making.

Iranian cluster munition-equipped ballistic missile falling on central Israel tonight.

@ruysdael_van @Osinttechnical wait.. did you say 4th??!

@ruysdael_van @Osinttechnical 💯

@ruysdael_van @Osinttechnical yesss! it does. lol. love that movie btw.

@Osinttechnical Reminds me of 'the Chronicles of Riddick'

@mistfunk Yeah, not wiped out — just not the same volume of incoming as back in the day. The scene will live on as long as Gen-X is around… or maybe longer if our kids pick it up <g> Respect to anyone still doing hand ANSI as that’s a different level. Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀

@xbitbbs I don't think that ANSI-256 took off, but I also don't think the internet wiped the scene out either.

@mistfunk Agreed — ANSI-256 almost feels like cheating, same with rez2ansi 😅 But it lets us no-skill sysops have some fun with it. Do you think ANSI-256 would’ve taken off if the internet hadn’t wiped the scene out first?

@xbitbbs Hmmm, it's falling in the ANSI uncanny valley

Usurper Reborn, live on Steam. Yup, a BBS door game has made its way to Steam in 2026. Love it :) Read all about it on reddit/bbs here: reddit.com/r/bbs/comments…

Mistigram: there's often dramatic weather at this time of the year, and Mozz captures it handily in this colourful #ASCIIart adaptation of #AlbertBierstadt's ~1872 #beachscene. This piece was included in last month's new unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.

Mistigram: #Goomba / #Kuribo wants everyone to know that #Mar10 is overrated as a holiday. (Perhaps instead consider National Mushroom Day, on Oct 15?) This #teletext screen was drawn by @horsenburger and included in the MIST0919 artpack collection released seven years ago!

Are you this old?
