@dragonarchitect No I already got that, but Mastodon's size is so unreasonably small that I can't fully accommodate it without killing any creative vision. There's only so much you can do with 20x20

This morning I woke up 15min early and fell asleep again. My brain saved me from oversleeping by giving me a super weird dream which in the end involved being in an area where small insect/spirit things were jumping around in the air. They didn't freak me out somehow, but the weirdness of it woke me up. drgn_woozy

@gabu I think one time Gargron said him inventing custom emojis with Mastodon was a mistake, so we know where that subpar handling is coming from neofox_pensive

@raccoon Ah yeah, the first thing I'd do if I learned my hamster died is whipping out the smartphone and recording myself

Yeah I think I did everything I could to tune the legibility without sacrificing the character design. These limitations are killing me

I hate how bright the visor and fur are. The latter is closer to white than black. But that's just how emojis need to be. wvrnFlat

I may have found a solution for the visor interfering with the mouth's visibility

@sun Maybe they could've gotten away with it if they had taken their sweet time to get people to rely on them. But the whole AI industry dove into the technology way too early, when it's still unreliable and expensive to run, so now they have to speedrun the VC playbook in order to survive.

@sun Internet providers get away with it because internet is an essential service at this point. Cursor and others are just cool gadgets. Having no internet is crippling, but having no AI assistant is not a big deal for most people.

Many people in the subreddit are moving to Claude. It will suffer all of the same problems

So now that I'm looking at them under worst-case conditions... god damn, I really can't have anything like a visor on the face at all. It makes the mouth almost invisible so you can't see part of the expression.

I saw an article about a vibe coder who's allegedly dominating hackathons.

Of course he does, AI is good at producing code fast. But that means nothing for real-world applications where efficiency and maintainability matter.

I set the emoji size on my frontend to Mastodon's 20px. Yeah, I know why I thought custom emojis were pointless at first woozy_baa
