The "ome29" emote is a variation of the popular "omE" emote family on Twitch. It appears to be a cropped version of larger emotes like OMEGALUL or LUL, focusing on just a portion of the face to create a distinct expression. The emote shows a person with an exaggerated facial expression, typically used to convey amusement or reaction to something surprising or funny in chat.
The "ome29" emote is derived from the broader LUL family of emotes, which originated from an image of John "Totalbiscuit" Bain taken in 2013 at the Major League Gaming Spring Championship for StarCraft II. The original omE emote was created in 2018 by a user named Saint_Marcos as a cropped version of emotes like OMEGALUL.
The emote became particularly associated with popular Twitch streamer xQc, where it became one of his prominent emoticons. The specific "ome29" variant appears to be a numbered version in the omE family, likely uploaded to one of the third-party emote services like 7TV, BTTV (BetterTTV), or FrankerFaceZ (FFZ).
The ome29 emote is typically used in Twitch chat in the following contexts:
Like other cropped emotes, it's often used in rapid succession or combined with other emotes to create more complex reactions in chat.
