Colleague: "Volpeon, why does this report a wrong thing?"
Me: "It's an external API I have no control over"

some weeks later

I found a radio station playing all of the music I grew up with, and I realized several times that I'm now old enough to understand the English lyrics easily

Despite the name, Corveon is going to incorporate aspects of other bird species I like, too. You can actually see it with the beak already

@krutonium I'm always amazed how it's possible for someone to look so much like an alien wearing a human skin

I had to fight with myself to not add more details to the bird emojis, but now I've not only gotten used to it, this art style is also growing on me. This is more like how emoji should be: simple and easy to read. The emojis I've made so far aren't bad, but they obviously don't work at "normie emoji sizes" rather than "fun side of fedi emoji sizes".

I'm thankful for all the nice replies, but also let me clarify something: I didn't think of it as complaining. People can have their opinions and share them without demanding anything, and that's the usual attitude with these posts. I also don't think I'm infallible so it can be helpful if someone points out a flaw I missed.
It can be annoying when it's about things I already spent a lot of time thinking about or when this is the best I can do, but how are they supposed to know?

@hj @lanodan In any case, I already have found a solution that doesn't involve adding an outline. neofox_boop icy.wyvern.rip/notes/ad14gldx0ezeq581
