Happy Pico Day!! :D
The NJ Meetup was so much fun!!! I loved seeing the giant turnout, even though it felt very overwhelming at first haha. I'll have to write out a short recap of my thoughts from the trip!!!
Hi :D
300 is a lot of people! Is that the most yet, at one singular Pico Day gathering?
Also, did you at least buy Mexican food for SOME of them?

Happy Pico Day everyone! I hope I can make it to a Pico Day meetup some year in the future, that would be so amazing.
In the meantime, here's the game I made for the celebration this year:
Happy Pico Day. I made this new illustration recently:
10/10 event, would Pico again.
I’ll treasure these for years to come!
Did mine for both days. Better late than never.

See the future through music. Feel the future through music.
Happy belated Pico Day! I made a new Tankman action figure that I finished up around 11 last night. That's technically still on time, right? :^)

Yesterday over 300 of us converged in New Jersey for a public Pico Day Party hosted by @BrandyBuizel and @Coby! It was a big magical day at an amazing venue, with space to hang out and talk, draw at tables, play games and watch a screening of animation. Big thanks to BrandyBuizel and Coby for knocking it out of the park with this event!

Today there’s another event in progress, an Ireland Meetup hosted by @Snackers!
If you took pictures at Pico Day NJ or today’s Dublin meetup, post them in this thread so we can see! I need to gather my thoughts and make a proper post-meetup writeup but for now here are two pics:
Blog posts about the event: Ant, sereneFalconer, Zals
A lot has happened here on NG since the last Pico Day!
We launched a huge Art Portal update with true multi-image support, multi-author and formatting options for displaying multi-art, among other improvements.
We made a big Playlist update, migrating the old collection and series pages into the playlist system and allowing people to manage their own series pages.
We introduced Project Templates, to save some clicks for new projects.
Accounts were made more secure with email 2FA as the new default for anyone not using an authenticator app. We upgraded our password hash and can now accept really long passwords. We upgraded PHP and made countless other behind the scenes improvements, with more in the works.
There were tons of collabs and events like the Eddsworld Charity Art Contest, Art Inspired Music Contest, Clock Day, Robot Day, NG Summer Fest, Writer’s Jam 1, Live Action Jam, Madness Day, Taifau Cafe Art Contest, Sweet Sixteen Comic Contest, Piconjo Day, William and Sly Art Contest, Paper Planet Art Contest, Love Me NG Art Contest, Battle of the Bands, Art Secret Santa, Halloween Spooktacular, Pixel Day, Flash Forward and more!
We pooled our resources via the NG Money Gang to sponsor big releases like Salad Fingers 13, Monkey Wrench 3, Necro Nancy and Ratbasterdz.
We gave away 27 drawing tablets for artists in need!
A bunch of us met up in real life at Too Many Games, Toronto, Derpycon, and Pax East.
All of this happened because NG stuck around for another year! Imagine all the things that will happen between now and next Pico Day. Thank you everyone who contributes to making NG such a special place!

He tries to get out of buying Mexican food for anyone. I stay on him about it but I've gotten nowhere. He could at least get us chips and salsa!

That's cool man, I wanted to order a tankman figure some months ago, but then I realised that they were out of stock. Permanently. Or maybe not. Maybe Tom will sell more of them in the future.
For my first pico day, it was great! The amount of support on this site is crazyyy dawg. heres to another year of newgrounds!
Happy Pico Day, everyone! :D
Here's to Pico Day 2025! ;)
Always believe in yourself, and be yourself. Except for that one Noob named “Larry”. We don't talk about him.
