    haha, yeah, I did think about just doing that, not even sure what
    the decent editors are, I looked at something called "durdraw"
    which looks kinda neat.

    you could always use old ansi packs to take tidbits or get inspiration.
    you could convert bmp gif etc to ansi with some editors.
    you can use figlet to generate menus.


    One thing I did wonder is if I could somehow finagle AI todo all the
    heavy listing for me, but it seems to only want to create ASCII
    art and it's VERY basic even by my standards lmao.

    i doubt it.

    also check out this guy.
    https://www.roysac.com/

    there's also a collection of thedraw fonts here https://www.roysac.com/thedrawfonts-tdf.html

    also cleaner is a great guy and he might draw you some
    ansi if you compensate him for his work. https://cleaner.ansilove.org/releases.html

    Use TheDraw and the fonts mentioned previously from Roy/SAC site to make
    quick headers.
    The Moebius ansi editor is the most photoshop like one for drawing pictures. blocktronics.github.io/moebius
    Use Synchronet's ans2asc to convert them to a .MSG file and then use
    Notepad++ or some other editor and strip out any empty space at the bottom
    of your image.

    Moebius is a bit old now, last update 2021. Consider IcyDraw by mkrueger:

    https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_tools

    It has TheDraw font support, and half-block drawing like Moebius, but builds on it with layers+channels ala PhotoShop, SIXEL support, LUA plugins, and more! Highly recommend.

    Current version of IcyDraw is 0.4.1: https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_tools/releases/tag/IcyDraw0.4.1

    Cheers,
