Pixcel

A derogatory term used to describe redditors who no-life r/place, commonly used to refer to those who have so little lives that they join alliances between other niche internet groups nobody cares about and spend every second of their waking lives exclusively placing pixels. They are extremely hypocritical, often repeating the phrase "Fuck Spez" despite engaging in his only good creation, actively supporting his business, and very frequently not even being aware of who Spez is and what he does.

Derived from the combination of "pixel" and "incel” the term "Pixcel" implies that the person is fixated on the pixel art creation aspect of Reddit's r/place to the point of neglecting other important aspects of their life

Similar meaning to “Pixel Placer”
"Oh fuck off you pixcel, nobody cares that XQC drew over your pixel art drawing of the pussy you'll never get"

"Damn I can't believe that these pixcels wasted so much of their time placing useless pixels and they *still* want to waste their lives writing wiki pages for poorly made drawings nobody gives a shit about"

pixelshit

Derogatory term for the artstyle commonly found in 2D indie games starting around the late 2000s. The style generally shows up when a developer tries to mimic the appearance of old 2D graphics, such as those from the NES, but uses the style as a crutch to excuse poor graphics rather than a limitation to inspire creativity.

It's important to note that not all modern games that use pixel art are considered "pixelshit". Owlboy and Cave story are examples of modern games that feature well-made pixel art. The term is reserved for games that use the style poorly and lazily, and unfortunately, that applies to the vast majority of 2D indie games.

Examples of games often referred to as pixelshit: Undertale, Fez, Hyper Light Drifter, and most games released on Steam Greenlight.
Tips for avoiding making "pixelshit":
- Keep all pixels the same size. The best way to do this is to draw your sprites 1:1 - in other words, 1 pixel in the sprite = 1 pixel on the screen. Then, run the game at a higher resolution so that the sprites are enlarged evenly throughout the game.
- If aiming for a strictly "retro" style, pick an old console or computer - such as the NES, SNES, Genesis, Commodore 64, etc. - and look up its capabilities and limitations, such as which colors can be used, how many colors can be used per sprite, how many background layers there are, etc. Try not to mix eras. There's nothing more jarring than seeing a simplistic Atari 2600-style sprite against a detailed, sprawling parallax background.
- Don't combine modern effects like smooth gradients with rough pixel art. It causes severe style clashing. (Looking at you, Hyper Light Drifter.)
- Git gud at pixel art, or hire someone with experience.
