oh what the fuck
one of the skunk emoji changed.
I think it was the google one and it had this gloriously fucking sassy walk with its nose held high and it was the GREATEST FUCKIN' EMOJI EVER an d they've changed it and now they're all just basic as hell i mean they look okay but god. what the fuck. you destroyed true fuckin' art. rip sassy skunk emoji, you were murdered before your greatness could be known ;;
@noiob ...i mean... yeah. it's actually the cutest one of the lot but fuuuuck i miss the android 10 skunk emoji and its sassy little walk ;;
@noiob (also what in the absolute fuckaroons is happening with the microsoft emoji... not just the skunk oine but like... EVERY ms emoji holy go-OH GOD THE SKYPE VERSION OF THE SKUNK EMOJI IS HORRID)
@Nine idk, I like their style? it's very stylized but it works pretty well at low resolutions
@Nine waitaminute Skype has its own Emoji font and it's awful
@noiob for a terrible horrible second there i thought you felt the skype emoji were good and i was gonna have to make a callout post on my twitter dot com before pissing on the moon, but thankfully i was spared that
@noiob ....if that's the skype shark emoji i gotta say that's fuckin' cute as hell, so you've got a point there.
@Nine it's animated too, but seems like that didn't work. You could make the criticism that it looks like a generic fish, not specifically a shark https://emojipedia.org/skype/1.2/
@noiob nah it looks sharky enough for me, 's cool. :D very readable and LOOKIT THAT CUTE LI'L SMIIILE AAAA :D :D :D
(okay that's probably meant to be giulls but fuck it it's a smile now)
@Nine pretty sure that's the mouth, that's not where gills go
@noiob evEN BETTERRRRR
@noiob also goddang that IS animated as fuck
@Nine yeah, I think it's to be able to do Big Emojos, and also Skype emoticons used to be animated back in the day
@noiob I still find animated emojo far too distracting. like every time they move they draw my eyes and make it impossible for me to read what people are typing so i really hate them ;w;
@Nine yeah, I disable animations for that very reason. Fine if they animate once or sth though
@noiob oh yeah totally, like a mouseover. that may be intended given the first frame always seems to be like... the full emoji, without movement, in a nice readable format.
@Nine Telegram has some animated stickers (which you can't not let animate at least once) that get stuck in a config that is completely unreadable, it's great
@noiob i also hate animated stickers lol
@Nine there's a few amogus ones that are pretty cute, but otherwise I like to avoid them
@noiob yah same. there's some moomin ones that are really cute too but i'm bugged by how off model Little My, Snufkin, and Snork Maiden are.
@Nine gosh I hate that they use some awful custom format because apparently animated gifs aren't cool anymore
@Nine for some reason I fuck up the link to the emoji directly every time https://emojipedia.org/skype/1.2/shark/
