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

@Nine I would've deserved it

then again, look at this adorable shark

@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 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 for some reason I fuck up the link to the emoji directly every time emojipedia.org/skype/1.2/shark

@Nine pretty sure that's the mouth, that's not where gills go

@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

@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
