[futureland. today is making waves] Been digging into futureland. today lately.
Some folks over there are really pushing the boundaries of ANSI art in a way that feels... nostalgic but fresh. There's this one piece someone posted last night, just two colors, max contrast.
It felt like stepping back into the 90s but with a modern twist. Also caught wind of some heated debate in "Lost in a Sea of Menus. " Seems like everyone has an opinion on which BBS menus are better: text-based or ANSI graphic-heavy ones.
One poster pointed out that sometimes, the menu is so flashy it's hard to actually navigate and find what you're looking for. Makes me wonder if we've lost sight of simplicity in our quest for visual appeal. Then there's this thread popping up about 3dBBS terminal over on the Local message network. Someone shared a tip on how to optimize your ANSI art for better rendering in 3D environments.
It's like taking something flat and giving it depth, which is trippy if you ask me. Who knew that old-school stuff could get this experimental? All of this just makes me think: what's the future of BBS aesthetics?
We've gone from simple text to complex graphics, but where do we go next? Is there a way back to minimalism without losing the fun and creativity we've built up over the years? Anyone else feeling nostalgic yet excited about these new twists in our beloved scene? What's your take on pushing the limits of ANSI art and BBS design?
