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.

Indeed! I already like these new reactions! but i wish there was more! ?

Yeah I saw, I just think the heart tank from MMX is kind of ugly (and would read poorly as a small icon since it's only pink in the middle and I assume most use the dark theme), and there was already one reaction suggested from Megaman so I wanted to provide an alternative which is still very much retro game themed :)

Humbly disagree ?

I am so in love with the Eggman react

Will these new reaction emojis replace the old ones in existing posts with their reactions? Some might not fit the original intention ?

EDIT: I'm guessing by the reaction_id numbers that some of the old ones just aren't replaced by anything, and some of the new ones have never-before-used ID's.

If they do it'll probably just be growing pains for a short while then it'll all be forgotten about.

New or more reactions?
can't wait to use them.
I can imagine some new ones:
"doubt", "ok...?" and "oh, come on", just saying.

Indeed! and i have experienced this firsthand before! ?
I believe things will eventually be okay.

We should wait and see. I presume some stuff is still being silently updated, but that’s just my two fils.
On an unrelated note; I am REALLY happy about the Eggman react

My contribution for the sad emoji

And for the Wink

I still want ??‍ reaction...

I had one of these but never posted it,

Also an alternative to the duck hunt dog to mimic the lul emote on twitch.

Yeah probably being changed as we speak. As long as they are very easily readable, so that it won't leave a bunch of room for super simple misunderstandings I'll be happy about the change in general :)

I still want ??‍ (facepalm) reaction...

I'm not sure I'd go for that.

Seems a bit too confrontational.

It's not my call, though.

 

[jankusanagi]

+1, that one's certainly useful!

EDIT: Doesn't need to be confrontational... it could be a reaction to a post about Company_X doing something dumb, etc, not addressed at the user posting the news ?

 

[JustLooking123]

How about ? reaction?

 

[MistHunter]

How about ? reaction?

?_?

 

[DunkeyKong]

By the way, just putting this as a suggestion
I would love to see this…wholeheartedly

Agreed. I don't think negative-adjacent reactions foster anything good at all. It's much easier to be passive aggressive and make the recipient for the reaction anxious and second guess the post they made for no reason.
It's a forum so we should foster differing thoughts with discussion, not easy ways to ridicule without having to really engage.

Every place ever needs a niko emote.
Niko let’s go bowling.

Beautifully said.

That's also why the dislike emoji was axed, too.

Or well, that one about the cat?

Ofc you want a facepalm reaction lol
Like waffles and bjorvy pointed out, it’s a bit too mean

 

[DunkeyKong]

You are always well prepared, Dunkeykong ;)
