@NEStalgia So, faux-preteen, then? Even worse...

@rjejr Are you kidding? Investors are the dumbest breed of mammal. They still haven't figured out that endless growth is in fact not possible, and that a market eventually gets saturated and magically stops printing money. You think they're going to notice that release dates and earnings figures have been imaginary since the dawn of time?

@ThanosReXXX What part of "YouTube" did you miss the first time?

@NEStalgia Ah, gimme a break. It's Friday, and I'm beat. Glad I finally got to put my feet up on my couch...

I decided to get myself a nice PS3 Slim with hack in order to play all PS2 games without the fear of eventually scratching the discs as they always spin when you play and they wear off easier than installed games

Tomorrow I will play some exclusives and give my nice PS3 Fat (the PS2 hardware compatible one) a well deserved rest!

I spy a graphic from one of my favorite Zelda games. And not only because there are trains in it.

@Tyranexx Psst, don't mention the TEE-ARE-AYE-EYE-ENs, wouldn't want to give any ideas to go on long-winded text walls about the benefits of this wonderful piece of public transport...

@ThanosReXXX or anybody, off the top of your head, do you know if there's script I can type that will insert emojis? Like, if I'm on the pc, I don't have emojis on there, but I want to insert a thumbs-up? (obviously we can type basic faces).

@Woomy_NNYes These are the only ones I know how to use on here:

As you can see, unfortunately not a thumbs up among them, so the only other way that I know is to insert that particular emoji as a picture, unless someone else does know.

P.S.

The emojis I use, are the ones native to the site, the smaller and/or diagonally rotated ones you see on here sometimes aren't.

Wooo, I might have a research project heading my way! (And a possible recommendation in my pocket for grad school...) Today is a great day!

@Ryu_Niiyama Awesome! Great news!

@ThanosReXXX So I also shouldn't mention my brief stint with Railroad Tycoon 3 back in the day?

Come on, @Ryu_Niiyama . Whats the research project? I...I like science. As soon as you said "research project", I was hoping a description was following.

@ThanosReXXX I had the realization, I use firefox, and there are probably add-on extensions that can provide emoji functionality. So, I'm going to look there.

EDIT:

So, turns out, that this site has a native thumbs up sign emoji code after all:

I got it from this site: https://emojipedia.org/
You go there, look for the emoji you want, and then scroll down the relevant page until you see the word "shortcode" or "shortcodes" (sometimes there are several), and that's the one you need to use, so it's a code/word/command in between two colons.

Here's the thumbs up page:

You could also just use your phone's or windows' built-in emoji panels.

(Yes windows has built-in emoji functionality, it's in the right click menu)

@Eel Windows built in emoji panels? Didn't even know that was a thing. Where is that supposed to be, then?

On a side note: there used to be an emoji bar right here on the site itself, at the top of the reply box, but for whatever dumb reason, they removed it at some point. On most other sites I use, they still have them, luckily. Saves me a hell of a lot of searching.

@ThanosReXXX usually whenever I right click on any text box, it shows an emoji option in the menu. That then opens a small window with the regular phone-style panel.

It's worth mentioning that it's probably a Windows 10 thing. I know some people refuse to use that one.

@Eel Must be a Windows 10 thing, then? I don't have it. Just the regular stuff.
