General Riptide Emotes / Reactions
- Thread starter Jason Waddell
- Start date
Does anyone have the photoshop expertise to pull this off? (The riptide crab pinching pennies)?
Also, @Onderzeeboot you seem to want a laughing tears emoji or something close. Any suggestions one what you like the most?
ZenForo has a stock laughing tears emoji that I can enable with one click. The problem with the reactions is that they get shrunken down to like 20x20 pixels or something, so there's not a lot of space to play with.

Yeah, laughing tears emoticon is one I use a lot personally, whenever I think something is really funny 
I like the Penny Pincher concept, I could see if my minor photoshop skills are enough to pull that one off

I'll also say we have more room for additional emotes than 'reactions'. I don't really want to have more than 5-6 reactions at this point.
I could do without snappy and bush. However I do miss one of an MTG logo of some sort.
I use heart when something touches me inside.
I use thumbs up when I agree with someone or want to thank them for writing an article.
I use Riptide when the comment is particular Riptidey.
I wish for a Magic logo when something is particular Magiclike.

I couldn't do without the Brushwagg, that meme is iconic to Riptide

Could you give an example? Like, this forum is extremely Magic-related, so when would you highlight something as particular Magic-like?
... I was in that video and I don't really have any idea what the snappy guy is about
Edit: That's not to say it should go, but a laughing reaction does sound pretty useful! For what it's worth, I love the upside-down tears hyena

I second this.

Woo! It's gaining traction! If Jason caves I'll see if I can do an actual decent version of it that's still recognizable at small sizes
I respect Jason for saying he only wants a few emojis. I can relate to that decision. I would do the same if it was my site.
I would also fear the laugh emoji would ever be used sarcastic as a way to make fun of a comment you do not agree with. I hope people will refrain from doing so. If it happens more than super rarely, I vote that we remove the laugh emoji.
This is an example of a Riptide comment (in my opinion)

I can't find any within the first minutes I was looking for it so I'm going to withdraw my request because I can't possibly be wanting it that much if I can't even find a good example, loooooool.

This is a legitimate concern, and hopefully we can avoid that kind of toxicity here. Fully agree with the option of pulling a reaction from the selection if it is misused.

You pulling the request made me actually laugh Velrun, that was gold
Are people doing that? Using the laugh icon sarcastically? Agree with Jason on that part though. Let's hope people are not now thinking "haha, funny, let's get this smilie pulled by using it inappopriately on purpose!"

I haven't seen it yet, but the Wagg and Snappy are both less confrontational than explicit laughing.
One thing is for sure, people are using the reactions more than they did in the past...

it's fun that you can use different reactions now!
Honestly, I'd love to see more reactions drawn directly from Magic cards. Like a LabMan emoji for 'mad scientist' posts, a Basking Rootwalla for posts that are all about taking things easy, etc.
Completely off topic, it makes me wonder what the most commonly-mentioned cards are on the forum and what are the most commonly-employed cards in our cubes, on the basis that those might make for good emojis. I'd suggest Hidden Gibbons, but we already have the 'wagg. Hmm...

If we were worried about sarcastically using the laugh reaction, then this seems like it would be way worse. Inspector has that "smells shit" look
