For anyone else wondering, the art was made in MS Paint, the game itself was not made in MS Paint. I thought it would be like one of those Turing-complete Excel spreadsheets.

    uMatrix has prevented the following page from loading:
    https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers...

And there seems to be no easy way to visit the original link regardless. I'm not sure I like this behavior of uMatrix...

For me, even the basic https:/www.engadget.com (http and https, with and without www.) redirects to guce.advertising.com, and that’s a dead link (server doesn’t exist)

It's not just uMatrix. It's tripping a content blocker for Safari on iOS. Perhaps it's Engadget that's doing something odd?

MS Paint is probably one of the most used programs for drawing pixel art, so the article title seems a bit click-baity and out of context.
