Done Some custom emojis/reaction symbols to liked posts/threads

[PaleFolklore]

Maybe using some pixel art, a little bit more akin to the site's theme, would be a good idea? Really not sure if that'd be possible, since custom-made art can be expensive. But it'd be a welcome addition.

PaleFolklore gonna be so happy when he’s back LOL.

Alright I can't keep silent anymore, who thought it's good idea to replace a clear and emotive laughing face with the universally hated (cause you are supposed to by design) chuckling passive aggressive mocking bully duck hunt dog, that also in this tiny form looks like a turd unless you squint.

I gotta admit, the first time I saw the duck hunt dog, I thought it was a turd. lmao. I think recoloring the ears to a lighter color would go a long way of making him more recognizable. His ears get lost with the background of the website.

... Did you mention my name?
As far as I can see I was late...!!!!

Actually not yet! some of emojis are not decided yet... and also there's always room for improving things.

I think the theme of site plays a big role here.
I'm using light theme, so it's easily recognizable for me.
But yeah, our emojis should look good on both white and black background.

Edit:
By the way, if you guys like to change the theme of site or test the emojis in both themes, you can easily switch between themes using this icon:

It's the same in both mobile and desktop versions of site.

Kind of agree about the Duck Hunt dog, mainly that the tiny version doesn’t read very well and I also thought it was a turd at first.
The Megaman extra life icon could work. I’m not at my PC atm but I could try and edit it so he does an xD face which would probably read pretty well.

 

[Spike]

I increased the size of reaction images recap under posts.
So maybe they are more distinguishable now.

 

[Tonberry]

I tried lol. Dunno if it's any good though. Two different versions because I couldn't decide on the eye shape.

(The more I look at the tiny version the more it sort of looks to me like he's sneezing)

 

[Strategist]

I recolored the dog ears so it stands out more in dark mode. Hopefully this version looks less like a turd.

 

[JustLooking123]

How about using glow/shadow effects?
Using this css for adding glow effect in dark theme:

.reaction-image {
    filter: drop-shadow(-1px -1px 1px white) drop-shadow(1px 1px 1px white);
}

After​

Before​

And this css for shadow effect in light theme:

.reaction-image {
    filter: drop-shadow(-1px -1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)) drop-shadow(1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3));
}

After​

Before​

Honestly, i think light theme doesn't need shadow, so if it's hard to add css based on current theme, you can just add glow effect for both themes. (in light theme, glow won't have much effect)

He looks like he's in horrible pain.

I also thought the duck hunt dog was a turd when the reactions were first replaced. It looks a bit better now that the size has increased but it could still use some adjustments or even a replacement.

 

[Waffles]

You guys are doing great! I can't wait to see all of these in action.

 

[Tonberry]

Here's a third, very happy version, courtesy of @JustLooking123
Much better than the ones I conjured up

 

[Ícaro Oliveira Santos]

Hey guys is the fire emoticon coming back or not?

 

[MistHunter]

I don't even understand, what is shown in this picture...

You requested for a facepalm reaction...
so, I did this one.

Not yet. must be complex find something alike.
I'm missing too the fire reaction.

Because I need it to -> _

 

[MistHunter]

For me that picture looking like someone beats puppy by stick on his head

Then I can take this for a 'yes'.
It will be polished.
Wish me luck...

 

[RageBurner]

How about these?
Quackshot's pepper or Shining Force's blaze

Wow Fire is back! Thanks!

 

[MistHunter]

...Thinking about a "can relate" reaction, a bell fits good.
("does rings a bell to you?")

 

[Glimbo]

Didn't know the reactions could be animated. Neat.
The Duck hunt dog laugh is also 2 frames. Maybe having it animated would be good.

 

[Spike]

I need sad. something that looks good at 32x32.

Do Send!

The Wink emoticon is gone, Spike are you going to replace it with something else?

 

[Spike]

And who can forget the original pissed off retro emoji? View attachment 13693

Edit: Ugh, stupid webp.

I'm also considering this angry sun (from SMB3? i think?) instead of robotnik.

The Wink emoticon is gone, Spike are you going to replace it with something else?

Idk? Is it really a necessary reaction?
Don't want to over do-it.

How about gemini man? when you agree, you are kind of making a double of that opinion.
