You have the order of which are the old ones and which are replacements backwards. The "three coloured circles on a stick" are dango, that before/after is actually a mistake as the before one is the oden emoji, not the dango emoji. The smirking cat one is also a different emoji than the normal cat one, so there will be new versions of both.

Earlier I was thinking it's maybe comparable to paying for Netflix vs torrenting and running Plex or something. For the majority of normal, mainstream users I feel like most would just pay for the thing that is already setup and ready for them. There'll still be all the more techy or determined types who will do it themselves, I just wonder what the percentages of both groups will be.

It sounds like you either didn't play enough or you are missing the new mechanics that get added over time. There's definitely more to it than just regular snake.

This reminds me of the 2021 Secret Sky online music festival put on by Porter Robinson. The 2020 one was similar but the 2021 version had little human-like avatars. Some other people and me were messing around with the browser console to do things like change our accent colours or change the location text above our heads to whatever else we wanted.

FYI this website sets off a bunch of Bitdefender alerts as being a suspicious web page. I assume probably false positives or something but still something you might want to look into.

This is sortof like how Only Connect switched from using Greek letters to Egyptian hieroglyphs. I'm not sure if it was a joke or not but it was said that viewers complained that the Greek letters were "too pretentious" and obviously the hieroglyphs weren't.

I tried 22 old game EXEs I have and none of them worked. They would import and show the icon and some would open, but nothing would work and most wouldn't even close. They would either show various error messages when trying to open or just open in a broken/unusable state.

Something like this is used in some Discord servers. You can make a honeypot channel that bans anyone who posts in it, so if you do happen to get a spam bot that posts in every channel it effectively bans itself.

To me these all look like they're reversed from what this says, like they're further away from me behind the flat part.
