This is a request to enact Object Activity Type 4 into source. https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#activity-object-activity-types

Emojis seem to be not supported in Discord apps/bots statuses, so no matter there. If they turn out to be available, bonus, but not requested.

For anyone searching, this should allow the Discord bot to have a custom status message that does not begin with "playing", "watching", or "listening to".

Turns out Custom Status'es don't really work on Discord's API, it doesn't display the status for bots, even though somewhat registering the status. Marking as Discord issue

Thanks for investigating! Just gotta think of some clever "Playing ____" things now!
