I recently discovered shimeji and I'm addicted to the little guys (if I can get them to work)!

Do you have any little desktop friends running around your monitor? If so who/what are they and why? I currently have Pikachu, Flygon and some random OC characters I found on DA.

Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds? What used to be wrong, we say that is right.

I used to have an Ishimaru from Dangan Ronpa, but it made my laptop run a little slow and he would occasionally duplicate. I remember allowing him to duplicate to the point I had about 30 of him running around my screen. It was so distracting haha I had to uninstall him ;n;

I don't think I could handle something like that. The movement would either drive me to distraction or a cat would come flying across the room and tackle my monitor.

My favorite is a little chibi flygon that flutters around my screen. Makes me want a plushie off it!

I remember that game. It was fun for awhile but got boring quick. Plus the artwork was terrible. They looked so ugly!

I found most of mine on DevaintArt. Just do a search for shimeji and you'll get plenty of results. It can take a bit to get some of them to work though. Many of them are meant for Japanese computers but with some tweaking I could get most of the ones I have working. Keep an eye out for an artist named Cachomon. I think they made ones that are better for American computers. Also, you have to have java so make sure it's up to date.

I had one of Castiel from Supernatural, but I stopped using it (and shimeji in general) because the duplicating gets really annoying.

I had some Hetalia ones a few years back, but they slowed down my computer. Even after upgrading to a new laptop I never bothered to re-install them.

The ones that I have and use most frequently are Castiel and Gabriel from Supernatural.

The ones I have don't duplicate as much as some I've hard of people leaving their computers for a half hour and coming back to it overrun by shimeji. A couple of the pokemon ones I have are "no-clone" so they don't duplicate.

oh man i used to have so many shimejis on my old laptop but i never got around to redownloading them. i agree with everyone that the duplicating gets really annoying so i might hold off until i can find some that don't duplicate.
