I answered below, but a huge part of what made it special was that nobody knew what it was capable of or what was gonna happen. What started as chaotic pixel dicks turned into something better. Running it again, everybody knows. It’s like seeing a magic trick after you’ve been told how it’s done. It doesn’t just fail to hold up... it tarnishes the memory you made when you watched it the first time. If you don’t believe me, you don’t have to wait 5 years, you can check out the 20 or so clones that exist now.

It's not just /r/place again, it's totally different because it's, HD, RGB colors, and 3d pixels!
