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.

Get the pixelshit mug.The phenomenon where a player in an online game such as World of Warcraft or Runescape can act bolder, tougher and sometimes with more "swag" than would in real life, in which they would never outwardly act in such a way.
This may involve (pre)teenagers acting in a similar bully fashion that they face everyday.
This also may go past the online gaming of online activity, to various forums, and social media sites where people can be anonymous, and they can say something bold, idiotic, or radical that they would be too scared to say in real life and back up, such as political views, or takes on current events.

Get the Pixel_L mug.A pixelfriend is a friend that is online only. Generally communication is kept via instant messenger or chat rooms only.
For example, you have met some one in a Yahoo or MSN chat room, and continue to keep in touch via the chat room or instant messenger. If it is unlikely that you will meet this person out side of the internet, then this person is a pixelfriend.

Get the pixelfriend mug.Someone who, in a virtual world, enjoys being unclothed and showing off their pixel assets. The word was coined in 2008 by Reghan Straaf of Second Life, who described herself as that with her pixel-revealing photography.
The way she photographed herself wearing nothing but a hat and her button-up boots gave every indication that the lady was something of a pixelbitionist.
