Emoji keyboard on Windows Tip

[AstralPasta]

Lmao

okay, SO. This isn't exactly a forum tip. But it's incentive for me to type on a PC more than a s&@#% phone.

It's no secret that I'm a fan of emojis around here, I'm sure. In my defense, I think it's because I like graphic novels, webcomics, manga and I'm a more visual person? Or because I'm a spaz who can't write. Anyway!

On windows you press the Windows key and the Period button. And an emoji keyboard will show up. Someone out there is weeping. It's okay.

Here are screenshots.

Amazing. You just have to press enter and escape and you can use your keyboard to select.

On mac you can do "Command + Control + Spacebar" , whatever that means. Or go to your keyboard preferences and change things. Idk.

Ahahahaa Wonderful. Alrighty, I'm done. Also, I love how this forum displays emojis. They're better and cuter and more wholesome.

edit: GASP ╰(*°▽°*)╯ they have these guys too! My life is over.

Oh my god it's true.

Took me a minute to sort it out.
On a mac

ctrl+cmd+spacebar and the emoji window pops up
THEN, enter
then esc

and you're in emoji land. When you're done just click the little x in the corner to get back to reality.

wow.

Ahahahaha!!! Yes!!!

Dammit, I still haven't had breakfast. It's all because of emojiland!

Is it weird I love using emojis (so long as they aren't ugly), but absolutely hate emojis in any other setting? Like on clothes or purses or smartphone cases. I just hate them. But these are cute

Wonderful. Who would have thought that just a little windows button and a fullstop would bring such riches. Thanks for the tip AstralPasta.

If you're still at breakfast, here is something else that can delay you for a while. I've been wanting to tell you for a long time, but didn't know in which forum to put it. I'll slip it in here.

AstralPasta, did you know that your name is famous throughout all galaxies ? Although you used to be known on earth as Germaine.

In the 70s and 80s, on French television, the makers of pasta Lustucru (which still exist today) had a series of hugely popular adverts on television, featuring an old woman, rather bolshy but motherly all the same, who was sort of the “symbol” of their pasta for a while in television advertising. There’s a video on youtube for you to see your humble beginnings as Germaine before becoming the great ASTRALPASTA known by all aliens in all time and space dimensions. I can only assume you're using your space name here. Did the aliens finally let you come home ?

I’ve translated the video into English below it so you’ll understand what they're saying. It’s a very funny ad. People still remember it today and it's sort of transmitted down through the generations.




Germaine : But what's going on here, I want to stay at home for heaven's sake !

( Germaine arrives on the planet of the aliens after having been kidnapped from her home.)

Germaine : What? You brought me all this way just to taste my Lustrucru?

Aliens : Yes !

Germaine : Aren’t you a bit crazy ?

Aliens : There’s nothing crazy about Lustrucrus.

Germaine : So get out give me some space !

Aliens (at the table) : Germaine, Germaine !!!

Germaine : It’s coming !

Aliens : Ooooooooh.

Germaine (tapping the hand of an alien) : Use a fork !

Germaine : So who’s going to take me home now ???

Alien (with a slightly sinister tone) : Take you home ? Noooo…..

Bumping this up for those who do not know.

haha! I forgot to look at this until just now. I'm almost tempted to change my handle to Germaine. Or back to Germaine? It's been so long, perhaps I've had many names by now. The meme-cloud of my delicious pasta has melded with my spirit and transformed my ego-self. What is higher than AstralPasta? As my popularity expands perhaps I will become Universal-Linguini. Who knows.

Thanks for translating
