As Google transitions to Chat from Hangouts, it's discontinuing support for third-party chat apps like Pidgin--which I've been clinging hard to pretty much only because of its support for custom SA smilies. Technology and modding and poo poo has come a long way since that resource hit, though; is there a way to incorporate our smilies into some kind of custom emoji keyboard for Windows or Android? (I think there's one for iOS.) Hell, I'll make sure the people I use smilies with have the same software on their end so nothing gets tofu'd. Not being able to garnish my messages with a choice smartass smiley will suck. :(

Discord has custom emoji support and most SA subforum related discords have at least some of the favourites.

If they're work buddies you could also always add custom smiles to a slack channel. My office really embraced using :same:.

Yeah, it's just my immediate family--folks, husband, kid--so Discord or Slack feels like overkill, especially if we don't use them for anything else. Oh, well. Thanks for the suggestions!

I saved tiny .png screenshot images of smilies like :colbert: and :3: so I can paste them into my emails and texts, and I have no regrets.

You know, I do have all of the smilies I use (and many I don't) as individual graphic files on my HDD, thanks to that custom Pidgin set...

30bux is a monolith from A Space Odyssey. It is the right proportions, too.

I'd guess it was bought around the same time as :ins: and :ovr: mostly for use in yospos and then as quickly forgotten as a lowtax get rich quick scheme.

If I remember correctly somebody wanted to get something that didn't fit in the size requirements and an admin told them to just buy something and they'd upload the one they actually wanted, so we got the black rectangle.

What's the story behind :luca:?

I always thought it was a little mischievous devil face, until I saw folks using it with cute animal pics and looked up its name. Is it someone's pet or something?

Yes! Though I guess Luca the sheperd isn't actually the goon's dog, but belongs to the people he lived with. They just bonded really well.

I think :temporary: was mentioned in this thread already.

The gist of it was that someone wanted to add an emote that was slightly larger than the max dimensions. Some admin would do it for them, but they had to actually buy an emote first. So they bought :temporary:, and the admin added in the actual emote they wanted.

You are correct. :30bux:

Ozma was the kind admin.

I miss some of the popup sentences on them, but my brain is too dumb to remember most of the actual smiley names so I like having all the newer keyword tags that replaced them.

I can look into how hard it would be to have both these and the tags. I embarrassingly overwrote my own backup of these and would have had to use archive.org so I appreciate you having a good copy.
