Isnt it also impossible to replace emotes without breaking the link to all existing uses? That pixel is there forever.

That is why I prefer poorly made smilies like :boehner:

I even submitted a replacement to Ralp when he offered to replace it but he never changed it out.

Not true. I had talked Ozma into letting me replace it by buying a fixed version, but people got mad when they found out, so I abandoned the effort. :shobon:

Huh. I swear an Admin a few years back, maybe even Ozma, looked into it and the answer was that it'd gently caress up all prior uses of it.

I bet zie was just loving with you. Mods are goons too.

E: Didn't :iamafag: and :awesome:

names used to be reversed? But then somebody got sick of awesome being overused, so they switched it. So you'd have to call yourself a fag to use the popular smilie, and using awesome would get you an ugly smilie with no transparency.

Yes, and I'd say it's also pretty solid proof that swapping an emote won't really break anything.

Someone made a joke about how the :unsmigghh:

smiley looks like a blood rocket, then someone actually made it into a blood rocket smiley. Then the goon with the username kheldragar bought it as a vanity emote.

They did? Good. I sent radium's enemy a fixed version of it right after I bought the original. That was a couple years ago.

It's a USPol smilie.

Overwatch is a videogame that people had a lot of fun trying out in the open beta. One of the characters, a robot named Bastion, was generally credited with the most spectacular play of the game because he would turn into a turret and minigun people to death. He was very accurate. Now this exists.
