Free game idea to anyone who wants it: in the vein of theme park and theme hospital, a game where you build and improve your garden with the goal of attracting vast numbers of adorable hedgehogs, squirrels, chipmunks, bunnies, and other adorable critters to it

@encarsia nah, that's scotland

Recent news headline: "British teenage girls are among the heaviest drinkers in Europe"

Obligatory response: INGERLAND INGERLAND INGERLAND, INGERLAND INGERLAND INGERLAAAAAND!!!

WE'RE WINNING!

@maple bash and imagemagick would definitely do it but I have a feeling it might end up a little more arcane than a python solution

@maple ooh, mutant standard has a version to download with the codepoints as the filename, that'll make it super easy to bulk rename if necessary and copy them over

@maple I'd feel pretty damn good about it

@mhka @maple well I'm enby and pan and I needed an account here so I think you do too

@maple pretty sure the emojos are served as images from the server so yes there is way of doing it

I think what you'd have to do is overwrite all the files in the /public/emoji folder with their blobmoji equivalents

@maple you's a beepy robot squirrel bunny girl!

@maple a robot squirrel bunny girl no less!

@maple @natalie@masto.ninja mlub

hedgehog cafe #3 built, this one's going off to be our first branch in London

Everyone shall learn and use the metric system

Especially people my parent's age who live in countries that have been using the metric system since the sixties and they still haven't learned it

Thus spake the octopus

@maple hi maple!!! i'm sam!

Huh, so now there's a booette and a chompette to join bowsette

Place your bets on what the next one will be, I'm thinking it might be bullet billette

@arielmt It gets better, almost everyone in the room was a career diplomat

Career diplomats who are pretty much hard wired to maintain protocol at all times

Those people laughed directly in his face

@maple I do like allie's alot alot

English is mutable, everyone knows what you're getting at when you write "alot" so feel free to write it as "alot" rather than "a lot"

My sister wants a hedgehog cafe and a hedgehog house for her garden

Hedgehog cafe plans are fairly nailed down and I'm halfway through making one of those, now I'm working out what I'm doing for houses (the ones we've got were made a while ago and I think I can improve on the design)

So far the main points are taller and with a nice long entryway

Also going to need something for more ventilation since it's effectively a closed box
