Avatar Gifting Thread

@gwowen said in Audacity and filenames:
@tsaukpaetra Don't think I ever had one
I hereby declare this thread the Avatar Gifting Thread, for the which we nominate avatars for users still using the default generated avatar.
Rules:
- No obviously NSFW images. The source image may be NSFW, but the actual image used for the avatar may not.
- Users who adopt a suggested avatar from this thread will be congratulated in the Cupcakes thread.
- Users who fail to accept an avatar will not be ridiculed or otherwise antagonized or microaggressed for their avatar choices.
- Only active users should be nominated for avatarization. Dead people like @samuel cannot be nominated, since they cannot accept an avatar (and we won't bug mods to change it because why).
- Don't excessively mention people for their nominations. If they express disinterest in adopting an avatar, let that be the end of it and find a new friend to give gifts to.
-
First nomination: @gwowen for the avatar:

Can we nominate people who don't have default avatars?

Maybe? So long as it's on the spirit of the rules...

@tsaukpaetra Ummm. Thank you? I confess, I don't quite understand, but its a very picture of some shoes.
-
@gwowen Sneaky, isn't it? :-)

For @masonwheeler

The basic idea is that I want to turn this:

By providing users with seed Avatar images, we can personalize the user experience and (possibly) encourage civility!

It is indeed a very picture.
-
@tsaukpaetra Yes, but what is it about me that makes you think "that guy is best represented by a pair of shoes"? Is it because I've got sole?
-
@zecc Very

@gwowen
Hmmm, I want to lead a revolution to kick the default letter avatars from WTDWTF. Who should I gift first...
@gwowen
Sweet, now I just need a fitting avatar suggestion. Hmmm. Kick the default avatars. Oh! Shoes!

Google had that as a search result.

It's an admirable goal!

@tsaukpaetra "Prolong your skateboarding days way into middle age with these stylish, comfortable shoes inspired by half-pipe enthusiasts of the last thirty years." Ha. I did not know those things existed. I wonder how they hit on that name?
Any if you'd scrolled down the image search to the guy in the backward baseball cap (talk about "prolonging something into middle age") and holding the camera, you could've used that one - it has the minor advantage of actually being me.

@gwowen said in Avatar Gifting Thread:

One must never assume such things in the Internet! 😉
Edit: strangely enough, I actually can't find a picture matching that description. Google must be playing favorites.

@tsaukpaetra Won't let me embed it here ...

You know, it never occurred to us to check for a Twitter Avatar...

@tsaukpaetra O_o
I look more like a Jabba the Hutt with a beard and hair.

Sorry, I did literally no research beforehand. Besides, everyone likes to embellish, right?

Still better looking than me.

Wow, that must have taken some time... :P Noperson can ever accuse you of being a warthog...
-
@tsaukpaetra nah, I knocked it up in 5 minutes. It could have taken a lot longer, but there's only so much effort I'm willing to put in for a shit joke.

You know, I haven't been doing a good job suggesting avatars for regulars.
Here, how about this one for @Scarlet_Manuka ?
I was going to try photoshopping, but I don't want to slow down the compile any more than it already is...
-
@tsaukpaetra If I really need one, well... I was going to drag out the one I used to use in a couple of online games, but I don't seem to have the file any more (come to think of it, it might be on my work machine. I'll check later). So I think this one is the image I sourced it from; if not, it's similar.
-
@scarlet_manuka said in Avatar Gifting Thread:

Wasn't intending to make it a requirement, just trying to make all the colors more varied. ;)
-
@tsaukpaetra I don't really care if I have one or not, personally, but if it makes you happy, why not? It doesn't require any great effort on my part, which is the sort of task I like.

@Tsaukpaetra trills in apparent joy.

@tsaukpaetra OK, now you're scaring me.

Oh, don't worry about me. I just get excited when people sometimes do things that make other people happy. It doesn't happen very often around here...
