Nice! Hope this time the message reaches more people, last year I saw a lot of commenters that wouldβve participated but didnβt know about it.

You can also share this in [email protected], there are a lot of people there :)
you're right! totally forgot to post it there
here's the new post there: https://toast.ooo/post/3741538
Last year I was bothered by the randomness of fonts even in single words and sentences, and started that font guide thing. Immediately afterwards I tried to plan a nicer looking frame for it that can fit more, and have it for this event if anyone wants that or cares.
I also want to get anyone's opinions on changing letters to be better if you have ideas, because I'm sure I'm not the best at this but I want it to be appealing enough to use.
The main 2 things I tried to focus on is readability, and making sure each symbol can fit in 5x3 pixels.
Looks great! You could probably even squeeze in a semicolon, square brackets, and curly braces.
Super stoked
Hooray, Spread it around everyone! :3
Wait, it's been a year already since the last one? Damn
UTC: 2024-07-12 04:00:00
UTC-2: 2024-07-12 02:00:00
(Seems like UTC-2 is my favorite time zone now even if I'm not there)
UTC+8 (Philippine time, PHT): 2024-07-12 12:00:00 (PM)
How big will the canvas be this year? There was a fair bit of whitespace last year, but even with minimal notice limited only to Lemmy, it was almost the perfect amount for everything to fit without overlapping
it'll be 500x500 (from 1000x1000 last year)
Can you elaborate on the decision to make it that much smaller?
Whooo I'm excited!
Thank you! Been looking forward to another one.
Heck yes
Woo! I can't believe it's nearly been a year already
Yay, I'm so happy this is returning!
Great! How much time will it last?
it'll be 72 hours (12th @ midnight - 14th @ 11:49pm)
completely forgot to include that in the post
For the noobs, you should explain what this actually is. All I have is a name and a date. No deets.
Not sure if you ever worked it out but this is like r/place on reddit. There's a big board, and people can place one pixel at a time. Then you have to wait some amount of time until you can place another pixel. People work together to try to create art.
I eventually worked it out, but the point was to help others.
Anyone made a calendar invite
I added an .ics link to canvas.fediverse.events but it looks like that doesn't have great support :/
Thanks!
Alright! Lets go!
