|  Emotional Iconic Reactions! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-04-01 |
 Ah, emotional icons, or emoticons (or emotis for short)!... Bright, colorful images that bring joy to us all. The world's first emotis were of course featured in the classic 1984 Commodore 16 game Exorcist, invented by Grigory Duddlovich. The game's happy protagonist, Smiley, shines up the place, while the evil monsters (Frownies) are spreading woe. The rest, as they say, is history - from the breakthrough success of this humble game, emotis are everywhere nowadays, from single-ply toilet paper to accountant hats.
Why mention them now? Well, today we're introducing a wonderful new feature on our forum: react with emotis! Oftentimes, when an enthusiastic programmer releases a game after months of hard work, clicking the "[ Reply ]" button and writing "Heh, neat geam" is just too much work. It's 2025 after all, nobody reads or writes anymore. Suffer and toil no more: forum users can now react with two clicks of the mouse. "But Csabo, you handsome genius, won't I be overwhelmed by the thousands of available emotis?" Worry not, dear fictional question-asker, as we've thought of this; you will find only the absolutely essential ones.
We remain technology innovators with this internet-first feature on Plus/4 World. Any similar features on other, uglier websites are only a figment of your imagination. Enjoy! |
