If we want new images it should be gaming related. This is mainly gaming site, with small secondary discussion by senile gamers who don't have really time/health to play enough games, thus they are talking shit about politics while they wait until their launch gets cooked properly/or theirs legs get better after they put snake venom based ointment to cure it.

Did you say the same when they added Trump/Biden ones? They even added another Trump one with the vatnik, somehow you don't mention it.

If there is a vatnik button there should be a Zelensky button or NAFO for balancing purpose.
there's no balance involved, one of the sides invaded another
if you still don't get it after two and a half years of an armed conflict and ten years after Crimea, you're a fucking retard and the only rating for you is retadred

Many buttons overlap to some extend but I think
despair.png
is distinctive enough from the other two as it has more of a connotation that the negative view is unwarranted or exaggerated while the other two are taking part in the despair or at least empathizing with it.

Anyway:

I like this one :

Simple and to the point. No need to overdo it.
If either of these are used they should be modified to have a distinctive silhouette without a background. Just a cropped rectangle looks lame.

I created this
YN9VFJP.png
in 2017, and it's much clearer than the current version with its lack of cropping.
That's better, yes, but it could also be slightly taller as many of the buttons are.

I'm happy about the grey rainbow pessimism one. Lately you get spammed with "fabolous optimistic" for every comment that's confindent in favour of any mildly positive event, it's pretty gloomy. I literally thought we need "doomer" or "blackpilled" button because of this and here it is :greatjob:

Edit: the icon kinda sucks though

Yeah I agree, it was just a quickly done dirty placeholder. I can remove the background, if the powers(r) behind the forum would also agree this one is better than the current abomination that goes for :updated: rating.

I used to have a program that re-sized gifs.

I don't any more. Gone are those days. Lost in the past. Like tears in the rain.
AI should have been HAL9000 eye, easily understandable and easy to shrink into a tiny button.

Besides, SHODAN doesn't deserve to have her reduced to an unrecognizable smudge.

In my opinion the only real good rating from the new ones is the Dr Mario one. Batshid crazy is also not bad. It's not that I oppose new ratings, I want them. But the ones chosen are just very mid to bad (text wise but especially the pictures suck). They just don't really reach the quality of the old ones. Like a typical Obsidian sequel.

A real "jew" button is way more overdue than any vatnik, pole or whatever unimportant race. A shill button too. Other examples I can't remember because of all flourides in the drinking water.

And I miss the "interesting" button that became paid DLC all the time.
