84 0 ReplyThis isn’t ascii. There are several Unicode characters in there.
Which means this image probably isn’t from 1993.

I really miss how tacky and cute the internet was. Everything is so pretty and cool now but like... Not in a good way, its just bland.
83 1 ReplyIn 1993 it might have been on a BBS and not the internet at all. :)
29 0 ReplyWell... I was born after that. Even the internet I used had, well, this meme for example. ASCII art was common even when Twitch released in... 2010? The internet I used growing up in the late 2010s was still so inherited from whatever was stable enough to last through the 2000 dotcom bubble or release just after.

Anyway, typewriter art is obviously still different from ASCII art/kaomoji because characters can be printed over each other, and a special button allows the cursor to move freely vertically, as opposed to ½/¼ line height (free horizontal positioning and rotation must be done by reloading the paper, which is why some typewriter art doesn't incorporate these).
