@gothdactyl I wish I could conditionally change how the emoji is rendered at smaller sizes, but that's not possible
I think it's better? I really hate how shading acts more like a distraction at that size
Is this better or worse?

I think the reason why the others ultimately failed is that I gave myself too much freedom with the 48x48 canvas. 32x32 constantly reminds me of the limitations and a lot of things I did are impossible if I want to stick to the pixel grid.
