            do you think maybe smaller emojis like 💜❤️ sorts of things would help it "pop" without feeling too noisy? also, obviously going to defer to broader consensus/sentiment. but I am interested in your feedback!

          I think having them categorized is convenient, yes. But it doesn’t feel natural. And the shifting of text doesn’t look right. idk maybe I’m just being a prick

            nah, I know what you mean. the formatting options are very limited at the moment.

            lol i think my mass reply comment is stolen from two different megas, so it probably has a lot of sloppy overlap :agony-wholesome:

            Realizing I might have to formalize making schedule threads now. I'll get something up on c/movies later tonight. But for now:

            As far as Friday Movies go, right now the Nominations for May are still on-going. https://hexbear.net/post/190794
            So we won't have a schedule until Thursday unfortunately

            Saturday has OG Gundam playing in 5 episode blocks for the next 3 weeks. Next is 26-30.

            Sunday Slop Nights don't have anything planned ATM that I can remember, but it's prone to last-minute changes, and anything I'm personally playing there usually isn't worth advertising.

              lemme know if u need me to organize my posts in that respect :rat-salute:

                I'm thinking keeping a permanent schedule thread at the top of c/movies. I used to post the vote results after the nomination threads, but because of the timing it usually ended up buried in the next nomination thread and it was just cluttered in retrospect. Also I feel the need to do compulsive bits, which probably isn't helping cohesiveness. :thinky-felix:

                Also I'm thinking comm movie nights were clunky to handle sourcing for short-notice, but they also really helped getting new suggestions in. Mulling how to make something like that work again.
