LOL. Glad I got my little bit done right before it went.

Yup. I helped the Quebecois cuss in French. I barely speak any French but I saw they were having trouble over by the Quebec flag because they tried to move the text to fit in by this pink furry thing.

Same. Barely finished the Hollow Knight's head with seconds to spare.

Sadly, I didn't. There's now a remnant of Hatsune Miku. Just the face.

Yep same. I left a half finished minecraft cake.

Just say it's partially eaten :)

I wanted a Meeks on the canvas so bad but didn't saw one being made (at least 5h before it ended)

i placed +2.3k pixels, it FELT GOOD

Yikes, I was feeling ashamed for cracking 1000. I had it running on my smartwatch so I could used my phone at the same time.

What's funny is I had a really busy day yesterday. Went to a reggae concert, took my kid to the rock climbing gym, went to the beach, worked out, did yardwork, etc. Somehow placed 4 figures of pixels?

That's like a whole day. Whole 1 day, 24 hours.

best 48 hours spent of my life

Just reload it. I guess admin needed to take it down to lock it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I know I’m just joking around. I was half expecting something cool to happen though!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It’s reloading but I don’t think you can drop pixels anymore.

So I missed the beginning, why was this a timed event? Just to mirror the reddit experience? Is there a reason one (a canvas) isn't being left up ad infinitum?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The timed aspect is part of the fun. An infinite time limit would eventually grow boring - nobody has time to place pixels every day for months.

[–] Pxtl 4 points 2 years ago

I could see a permanent one working with a different model. Like 1 pixel per hour with a fixed drop rate (instead of this "stay and place as fast as you can for best performance"), and you can hold like 36 pixels. Once a month you move the canvas 200 pixels to the right, so the leftmost zone slides into read-only-world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Gotcha. Well I was a part of the two on reddit (I don't count that last one they fired up just to reflect from the shit that was really happening) and now this one here. Thanks to everyone that made it possible. That was fun!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

There is a canvas that's left up 24/7. I think it's Pxls or something.
