After watching the Witch Hat Atelier anime I started getting tiktoks about it… lots of AnimeNYC cosplayers running around in pointed caps all cute n shit. It showed me a tiktok about this old program from 2005 called Shimeji and this guy had brushbuddy hanging out on his screen. I fell into a rabbit hole, bc I’ve had oneko installed for so many years I was used to having screen pets around and I wanted this little guy too. My workstation is made so much brighter because of them
I opened this community to spread the word of the fun these little guys are!
I’ve seen the word “shimeji” around a bit recently (e.g. fanart of Shimeji Simulation) but it hadn’t connected in my head that shimeji is a mushroom until just now. Do these things pop up like mushrooms?
Mine drops down from the top of the screen… haven’t explored the software standard enough but I’ll check
Oh man Shimejis! I remember these from DeviantArt so many years ago… could you crosspost this to !smallweb@lemmy.cafe?
Nice, it’s good these are becoming popular again.
