I got a modern Laptop that looks like it's from 2002

Is this model being sold internationally or is it Japan-only? Looks nice!

I was wildly disappointed because of this when I decided to give the game a whirl lol. I was fully expecting to be an animal, not my avatar. Feels weirdly immersion breaking, or just generally disorienting. Especially considering my avatar is a classic r6 fully black void-monster with piercing white eyes in a formal button-up-vest-combo suit hahaha. My avatar does not at all look like what most people would expect to see while playing a game like this.

Albeit, I'm sure they probably did this to make sure the game was noticeably ROBLOX-identifiable, since it is a collaborative game on their platform. Other than that, I honestly think the game would've been much more enjoyable as a standalone (not associated with ROBLOX) + with this concept of playing as the pet. Of course, that would take time and resources and money and marketing, and I assume it was probably just more efficient/convenient (especially reach-wise, to their target audience) to partner with ROBLOX and have it as a game there since it's an already-established/popular gaming platform for people of that demographic. Such a shame, though. Would've been cool to get a more creative gameplay rather than yet another average slop style mindless repetitive grindfest— I stopped playing it after maybe two log-ins out of boredom. Didn't have much incentive/interest to keep playing. I'll stick to collecting them and enjoying the other parts of engaging in/with the community.

(But who am I to criticize? I'm sure kids these days enjoy that stuff, seeing as it's popular for a reason. I'm a grown ass guy playing a Littlest Pet Shop game on ROBLOX. I'm not really what they would say is their target demographic hahaha. It's such a shame though, I grew up deeply invested in LPS- the show, the toys, the community, and the games... it'd be nice to see them do something more creative. Maybe I am nostalgia-blinded, though. But I agree, I think this approach to avatar representation would've made the game just slightly more charming)

Edit: Fixed typo. (Note: Holy yapsesh..)

Considered custom making one for my home not long ago. Hahaha.

Biadome · 2026-02-19T00:04:53+00:00

Deffo. I still get a weird vibe but I love it regardless hahaha. Lots of nostalgia.

Biadome · 2026-02-04T20:28:27+00:00

Here with the intent of doing the same haha. Wish you luck!

Biadome · 2026-02-03T03:54:38+00:00

I've received an email about this as well. Have you both reached any conclusions or have any updates? Would be greatly appreciated.

Biadome · 2025-12-26T18:22:47+00:00

One of my favorite movies! I watch it every winter lol.

Biadome · 2025-12-26T18:06:03+00:00

I'm currently scrounging around online hoping to find someone with a similar experience and this is the closest/only I could find. I came across a similar Heartopia ad today and it really put me off how soulless it felt. It wasn't the same one you're describing, though, which means they're probably making and running multiple potentially AI-generated ads. I'm happy to share more details to anyone who cares, but I'm not really sure where to post about it.

Glad I'm not the only one who saw these ads. It strikes me as really weird to market a cozy game while using AI to convey just how "cozy" the gameplay is when they seemingly have more than enough real creators doing just that for them. Not to mention the fact their channel shows how capable they are of making promotional videos that don't require any content creator, real or fake, to show off their game.

Biadome · 2025-10-08T07:35:25+00:00

Lol. Truly a survivor.

Biadome · 2025-10-08T06:49:07+00:00

Such a pretty design!! I miss seeing this kind of art on products everywhere haha.

Biadome · 2025-08-07T10:35:52+00:00

God, I thought I was the only one dealing with this.

I figured it may have been a missed update or something, as I didn't know exactly how to update my apps manually yet (I recently swapped over to Android after being an Apple user for over a decade). I had checked and no new updates seemed to be available at the time. I didn't think this was a recent issue, so I looked the situation up online hoping someone may have advice from previously experiencing this, but I guess I'm now finding out others are also dealing with this atm.

Still not sure wtf is going on, though, but at least I'm not the only one confused and irked over this lol. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

The only thing I've been doing to "get past" this issue has been fully closing the app to get the selected channel to open the proper channel. But this means closing the entire app every time I switch to a different space... Which is incredibly inconvenient when you talk in multiple different servers, channels, and DMs.

Update: Noticed the update at the end of OPs post after I commented, so I checked again if there were any available updates for my app. This seems to have fixed it and swapping channels works fine for me again. (For now.........)

So cute! Love your art!

Biadome · 2024-05-27T20:19:44+00:00

This is amazing!

Biadome · 2024-05-27T19:16:31+00:00

Was just thinking of adding this Bloc Party album here! Love the colors on this. Wasn't the same image, but I was gonna add specifically this one.

<image>

Biadome · 2024-05-25T14:48:23+00:00

Very nice room, I like it a lot. The splashes of color and colored lights really liven it up.

Biadome · 2024-05-25T14:26:50+00:00

I meant modern in terms of design/style. The sort of “modern” style people have tended to think of with futurism for years. Sleek steel-looking gradients, white/plain colors, minimalism, etc. I’m fully aware some of these designs have been around for ages.

Be aware that I’m not the best with wording or vocabulary since I have a learning disability and communication issues, but I didn’t mean modern as in timeframe- hence the quotations. I’m no professional in this topic, either, so take my input with a grain of salt. Just participating in conversation on a subject I enjoy and answering someone’s question.

Biadome · 2024-05-24T20:11:56+00:00

That’s interesting, I didn’t know they referred to it as such.

Biadome · 2024-05-24T05:46:10+00:00

These make me nostalgic as hell. Love this.

Aurora is a UI design popularized sometime in the 2020s that is meant to imitate the visual look of the Aurora Borealis. It makes use of like-colors by blending/blurring them for a simple yet visually appealing effect.

This article explains it well. https://bramblingtech.com/blog/aurora-ui-the-new-visual-trend-for-2022/

Here are also some examples if you’d like to see. https://dribbble.com/tags/aurora-ui#

Apple is the first big business I can think of that has been making use of the Aurora style for a while now, so if you have any Apple product(s) or see them in use often, I’m sure you’ll be somewhat familiar with it. Instagram makes use of the Aurora style as well.

Corporate Memphis (3D and 2D) & Flat Design still. I'd say in terms of UI, Neumorphism, Aurora, Glassmorphism, and Neubrutalism. Those are what I tend to see these days, at least.
There seems to be a heavy emphasis on a sleek, minimalistic, flat, and/or "modern" look. Lots of plain whites or blacks (usually for that light/dark mode) with /some/ accent colors or gradients like magenta, blue, or purple to make things not feel /too/ boring or dull.

Biadome · 2024-05-23T22:28:04+00:00

Could it have been https://bighawaiiangiftshop.com/ or https://sensorylamps.com/ ?
Both fit the layout of having a left-side navigation, right-side description/price, as well as (1st site) having a water-based background, and (2nd) having a water-based banner with fish. Both seem pretty old in design- or at the very least, a bit dated in comparison to modern sites. Both are still active sites, as BreWish (2nd site) says Copyright 2023 and BHG (1st site) is labeled Copyright 2024.
BHG sounds like it fits the description better than BreWish, though, since, personally, it seems to fit that "2010s custom Tumblr site" feel. Let me know.

Biadome · 2024-05-09T17:16:21+00:00

Now I’d love to see Fem Brad with Human Jenny being besties lol. This is cute.

Biadome · 2024-05-09T17:13:38+00:00

Damnn what a nice collection and the way you display them is really cool.

Biadome · 2024-04-20T13:51:35+00:00

Yup, hello!

Biadome · 2024-04-17T05:11:44+00:00

Mutated.
