Suggestion moving gif reactions

[Smacktard]

hello I am here to host an argument

topic: moving gif reactions

premise: most of the gif reactions make the image more difficult to read/process and don't add anything extra that couldn't be conveyed in a single still image

concession: some of them ARE cool and should be kept... but having too many of them kind of spoil the effect and uniqueness of gif reactions

evidence: doh doesn't loop well, and would look better static. "I declare" doesn't add anything. Seth Meyers doesn't add anything. I'm not sure what the one with Mr. Incredible is conveying -- is he bored? waiting? typing? I also miss the old "This is fine" dog.

related: the static Phoenix Wright reaction needs to be reworked. This one would actually make sense as a gif.

rebuttal: (this is the part where you guys tell me how wrong I am below)

I agree, but I also realize Ben is doing this for free and did it really quick, maybe he plans to update it later, but Im not going to bug him on it

Overall I do agree that some work better as gifs and others as just a pic

 

[shortkut]

Makes sense

 

[TD]

I also miss the old "This is fine" dog.

1000x this.

Also, it was alluded to in another thread but as someone who is prone to motion sickness, so many small gif reactions in one place is not easy to look at.

Yeah, I considered whether to post this thread for a while. I don't want to seem ungrateful for all the stuff the staff here do for us, but in the end I figured everyone would probably want the best forum experience possible, and if others agreed, it would only help to improve the experience

All kidding aside, I'm sure we'll find a way of organizing and fixing the gif reactions to everyone's satisfaction. I would like to add back the static this is fire dog, though, even if we keep the gif, I agree with that sentiment, I think it fits as a separate thing. We'll figure this out

 

[shortkut]

works as standard image

D20 works as standard image but dice should roll

Emotional damage - is this even needed with hide the pain existing?

What? - is this needed with giggity?

Any minute/So bored/yawn - I know they are new but seem redundant

I declare - can be standard image

This close - can be standard image

Fry sus - can be standard image

 

[Smacktard]

I agree with p much everything kut said but I have a soft spot for emotional damage and I think the fire should def be animated

 

[Jon]

While I enjoy animated reactions, I didn't consider those prone to motion sickness. I think several can be reworked and consolidated. It's getting absurd on my PC because the bar doesn't stay open like on my phone. So by the time I try to click a reaction on the far left, the bar closes on me. They are a little out of hand lol.

 

[Jon]

Yes, Emotional Damage was my baby and I agree it is the only one that needs to stay the way it is

I would be shocked if that wasn't the reaction I use the most lol

 

[Jon]

Nevermind, not even top 5. I guess wolf will do that to you lol. BUT I STAND BY LEAVING IT!

 

[TD]

Nevermind, not even top 5. I guess wolf will do that to you lol. BUT I STAND BY LEAVING IT!

All I read is we need to emotionally damage you more.

What broswer do you use? My reactions bar doesn't close on PC as long as my mouse is hovering over either the bar itself or the Like button.

 

[Quagmire]

Wut? - is this needed with giggity?

Isn't giggity more for sexy things?

I declare - can be standard image

Disagree hard and I declare you're wrong

 

[shortkut]

Isn't giggity more for sexy things?

Correct, I meant what? Not wut?

This is too much nice.

TLDR; Alu fucking sucks. The gifs fucking suck. The customer is always wrong. Fuck y’all.

Didnt realize one is those was for sexy things

Thanks for the feedback. Gone are the days of me not being able to admit I was wrong, so I concede I went a bit nuts.

I'm fully OK with an audit of what we've got, and I've got the rest of the week off work, so I'll put some time into converting some to statics and/or just deleting them.

1000x this.

Also, it was alluded to in another thread but as someone who is prone to motion sickness, so many small gif reactions in one place is not easy to look at.

This is something I had not considered, so my apologies.

 

[dimmerwit]

I wonder if it's possible for previews to be static even for moving reactions?

I don't have an issue to be honest but I pretty much exclusively browse on either a 32" monitor or 16" laptop so they don't fill up much space on the display.

That’s an interesting take, but I’d imagine that there would be an edit to the template required, and along with that the creation of however many single frame previews.

 

[TD]

Comparatively, this is what mine looks like on mobile.

They uninstalled my asshole drivers when they installed my femboy card, I just plain can't be mean anymore. I meant to go back and get the drivers reinstalled but they told me they couldn't see me that day and I understood, they were busy, so I decided I'd come back another time and they've just always been so busy, so I just haven't gone back yet. But one day! One day, buddy boy, you watch, I'll be oh so mean!

 

[Mark]

Yeah, that’s part of the reason why y’all hardly ever see me react to stuff beyond the OG reactions. I ain’t pulling the magnifying glass out to figure out what I’m conveying.

 

[Ben]

Yeah, likewise even with it maximized on desktop, it's a ridiculous bar.



I'll look into what we can do for the layout, too. I'm sure that's just defined somewhere in the templates.

They uninstalled your asshole? How terrible.

People poop from there.

 

[dimmerwit]

Yeah that's a big difference!

What broswer do you use? My reactions bar doesn't close on PC as long as my mouse is hovering over either the bar itself or the Like button.

I use Brave.

But that's the same behavior. I just have a hard time keeping inside that bar to keep it open. I have a widescreen monitor, so the bar stretches the length of the screen.

 

[Ben]

Alight, let's see.

If I find non-gif alternatives for these;

And just shit-can these;

Then that leaves us with these left for "gif" ones;

I could axe those as well, too, though, if everyone would prefer just still frames.

Yeah, understood. If you go up/down with your mouse at all trying to get to the far end it's very likely to close. I'll look in to trying to limit it to 25 across or something.

 

[Ben]

EDIT: Oh, these ones too I guess if we're considering all of them with movement. I can make the fire and dice static easy enough.

 

[Smacktard]

How do we decide which to keep, which to ditch, and which to rework?

IMO I like these:

.

I also like the retching cat and a few others.

i will murder someone if the rita repulsa one is removed

 

[Mark]

There’s always democracy and a poll… we won’t cook the numbers like some people.

 

[Jon]

There’s always democracy and a poll… we won’t cook the numbers like some people.

But.... like... which VERSION of democracy?

Because I'm not a fan of the version in America right now.

 

[Mark]

See: second half of that sentence.

 

[Jon]

So the rich and elite will dictate our future?

 

[dimmerwit]

Spoiler: Opinions

- static

- static

- static since the character is quite recognisable

- moving, but perhaps a static version would work

- moving

- static

- a static equivalent would be fine

- probably remove

- remove

- I quite like this one.

- I quite like this one too. Maybe a static version with him just looking at his watch? Or just the yawn above would be fine.

- moving

- moving

- moving

- definitely moving

- no idea what this is, but I guess it needs to be moving to work?

- a static version would be fine

 

[dimmerwit]

Spoiler: Opinions II: Electric Boogaloo

- moving

- definitely moving

- meh on this one

- moving, it's visually low impact

- I've never understood why people use this tbh (sorry TD)

- either way is fine

 

[Mark]

So the rich and elite will dictate our future?

Rich? Not a chance. Elite? That’s like being the coolest person in New Jersey… you might feel good about yourself, but you’re still on a dump.

 

[Jon]

So, we're leaving Baymax's hug alone, right? Since no one is talking about it.

 

[Mark]

So, we're leaving Baymax's hug alone, right? Since no one is talking about it.

…proceeds to talk about it.

Brilliant.

 

[Jon]

Brilliant.

I know... I know... I'm a fair beggar.

 

[Mark]

I know... I know... I'm a fair beggar.

I hope you have some frequent flier miles handy and a nice leather wallet for someone to bite down on, because you’re gonna be who we send out on a mission if this place gives someone a seizure.

 

[Ben]

Seizure?

I barely know 'er.

 

[TD]

I've never understood why people use this tbh (sorry TD)

I bounce around and flap my arms when I'm excited - and it's the only reaction that conveys excitement to me.

Do you still have the original reaction we had for this one?

 

[Jon]

No, but I have one of those sticks from the whipping scene in Starship Troopers.

See, this is why the Baymax hug needs to stay.

 

[Ben]

Do you still have the original reaction we had for this one?

I thought I'd saved it, but I of course now cannot find it anywhere.

I think it's probably still sitting on the server somewhere. Once Crystal reminds me what the new URL was for that, because I also lost my bookmark... I'll look for the original. I guess the static one I just swapped to is a bit underwhelming... I'll can revisit it.

 

[Ben]

Got it.

 

[TD]

It's beautiful.

 

[shortkut]

These should stay moving

 

[Mark]

I don’t know why I needed that mental image in my head today, but I’m not gonna be able to scroll past any of yours posts without seeing it now.

No, but I have one of those sticks from the whipping scene in Starship Troopers.

It’ll work. We don’t have an excessive force policy for staff, so, do what you do, just don’t let the member die. We rely on the posts.

 

[Ben]

I can leave that one, but just curious, would this work?



Trying to shrink them down and keep them clear enough to read what they are is a struggle, but I'm on PTO from work and that seems to mean "I'm going to get myself stuck at my computer fixing things just like if I was at work anyway."...
