Mono-spaced type has been all but removed from places on the internet, so it's no surprise larger scale ASCII art isn't common anymore. But have any of you made such stuff way back when, or perhaps more recently for nostalgic fun?
I made this at the end of 2022 when I realized Notepad++ was mono-spaced by default, and wanted to try creating my sona. Text is an interesting medium to work with, it reminds me of pixel art in a way due to the constraints. That and for the first time in my life I found a use for the insert key, absolutely amazing.
Never personally, but I have to say, it's one of the things I miss from late 90's/early 00's internet. Heading over to GameFAQs (set as my homepage, of course) and looking up my favorite game to see some lovingly crafted ASCII fanart as the header. That's how you knew the guide was going to be good.
Yeah that'd be a good way to immediately know the guide was going to be a labor of love. I remember a little of site art, though my biggest exposure was surely sailing the high seas as a kid since I had no way to buy anything. The art was always so cool, I wish things didn't make it break virtually everywhere.
