It depends on context and company but in general I would avoid them the more professional the context. I work as a programmer for a pretty big company. I sometimes use them in chats to coworkers particularly if it’s just a regular conversation. We use teams and use the reaction emojis. But I avoid them in serious emails or conversations.

So I wouldn’t say they’re never to be used but in general they’re more casual. This obviously depends on company culture though. If you’re in a more casual setting or if others use them more freely then it’s probably more acceptable.

Yeah I absolutely loved sea of stars. I thought it was great the whole way through. Fun characters, and solid combat.

I’m really worried about the new dragon quest. It’s possibly my favorite series and I’m concerned that 12 is going to be action and not turn based.
