Add reactions to list of emotes for use in posts (plus others)

[Glimbo]

There was some discussion of it in the Custom Reactions thread and I liked it too, so I figure I'd make it an official suggestion.

I think it’d be nice to make the reactions part of the emoji list too so they can be used in posts instead of relying on the ”Facebook” emojis.
Though I understand if that might look cluttered.

Wouldn't it be possible to add the unused ones or the ones that didn't make it to reactions, to the smilies/emoticon thingies? That way the work put on them isn't lost.

Add reactions to an RGT section in the emote list so we can use them like this:
And some others too.

As long as you don't remove Bubble Bobble Thank You, everything is fine.

RIP In Peace, Pondering Phoenix Wright.

Oh i didn't see the mention the site.... Idk whats wrong with it.

I came here to suggest another FF related emote you know how charcters in FF6 wave their finger when you load the game? They are telling you "don't shut the game while its loading" yeah i would really love to have that here as a sort of "uh nah" emote you can take any charcter for this tho i prefer the fiagro bros.

Alerts don't get pushed out on merged posts. I think there's a setting to enable it but that's on Spike's side.

I took a look at the finger wag animation. There's no sprite sheet available which would involve either youtube again or playing the game myself up to a certain point. It's also a bit on the small side I think. The finger looks like it's 2 pixels tall.

Some new stuff to add to the zip.

Sailor Moon Sweat Drop from the arcade game with some alterations:

Hold Up (now in color):

Thinking (removed the black line at the bottom of the last finger):

Slime Roll from Dragon Quest Heroes:

The fun thing about this is it can be chained together.

Hypnotic...

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Man we still at 9 emotes for what now a week? Or more..... We need a thinking emote and FAST

Pipo Monkey Eating a Hamburger:

This one is from a load screen animation in the McDonald's demo disc for Ape Escape 2001.
There's a gif of this but it wasn't the best quality so I recorded the animation myself.

I'm running out of ideas for real this time, guys.

Can we please get back the sonic "huh" emote? 9 emotes are just not right.

 

[Yousef Yousef]

Big no.
A lot of people used it maliciously or as a way to toxically downvote someone, or as a pseudo dislike button, something which we also removed a while back.
We try to encourage healthy discussion where people reach an understanding through friendly means. The Huh reaction was often used as a get out of jail free card of sorts, or a form of passive aggression, which we don’t really tolerate here. It made some people uncomfortable too because it was really vague because it’s difficult to tell if it was supposed to be a harmless disagreement or a mean of dogging on someone. If it’s used as disagreement, then you can simply verbally point out your disagreement through a respectful and tactful manner to avoid any vagueness so both parties are on the same page and there’s no friction.

We’re trying to enforce rule 1 (no disrespecting other users) best we can, so we’d like to discourage any means of of breaking the rule, including passive aggression.

Plus it was said a while back that we have too many reacts. Ten reacts was deemed a lot.

Also, please note that this thread is about in-post icons. such as this:

The discussions about reactions are in this thread.
And the Thinking reaction is separately discussed in this thread.

Hmmm at least a "thinking" emote of any sort would suffice idk numbers like 9 don't seem right either it's 8 or 10 but that's just me.

Floating Eye from Fatal Labyrinth (md)

we still have the sonic "huh" pic, it's just not a react option.
, see; we still have it, you'll just have to make a post to use it.

ITS CUTE!!!

 

[Deleted member 526220]

Since I'm still new here, I'm happy with how it is but I am also open to many innovations.

 

[Glimbo]

Surprised Pikachu would be cool too.

 

[Spike's iconSpike]

I'll get back to this sorry i've been absent.

 

[Glimbo]

request to put "sonic scared" as a reaction

"OMG" is not enough for me. I want at least a scared reaction, preferably the Sonic

retrogametalk.com

Traumatized Sonic:

Made with the GMIC plugin for GIMP using the morph function.

Reminded me of the Traumatized Mr. Incredible meme and the aware emote on bttv.

I'll get back to this sorry i've been absent.

No worries. Take your time.

Nothing new here. Changes:

reduced size by cutting frames and increasing compression (29,574 -> 20,042 bytes)

reduced size and now webp (30,512 bytes -> 12,690 bytes)

reduced size and now webp (6,546 bytes -> 2,512 bytes)

rounded out hair on the left side a bit more

sweat drop now blue-ish to stand out more in light mode and removed transparent pixels

lowered first and last frame 1 pixel so feet are now level across all frames

New:

Flex from Ai Cho Aniki

Skeleton from Warcraft 1 with small edits

Floating Eye from Fatal Labyrinth suggested by JustLooking123.
Shortened wings 1px on left and right to fit the standard dimensions and padded to 32x32.

Changed:

Claws on feet edited

Removed:
sonic-traumatized.webp
20KB for a simple animation and at 32x32 is still way too big. I'll try to do some fine tweaking to make it smaller and still look good. Might need to just make it a still image but I may scrap it entirely since it will be the 3rd Sonic emote.

I don't know what the governing principle is, but having the widest game coverage possible seems to be the most interesting way to go about it.

Yeah, that's what I tried to do.
Initially, I was really reluctant to add more than one emote to represent a game but I eased up on that a little. And when I want an emote to represent a certain game and there's nothing suitable, so I have to look outside the games ( and are good examples of this). Sometimes I find nothing either way so unfortunately the game gets no representation.

Added v5 let me know if missed something.
