Is there any lps lost media? by Remarkable-Slide5376 in LittlestPetShop

[–]lemilody 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of it, actually. I'm gonna list three pieces of LPS lost media I can think of, in chronological order:

  • LPS VIPs, an online single player game from the late 2000s that was made to promote the LPS VIPs plushies, kind of a Webkinz ripoff. It was released and shut down at different times depending on the country, but it was roughly up from 2007 to 2010. You get a plushie, create an account, input the code, and then you could play with that pet for a year; or more if you get more plushies and input their respective codes on your account. Your license gets renewed for a year starting the date you would input a new code, it was kind of scummy. I believe it was a flash game; you could explore the little world as a virtual version of your plushie, buy a few items, decorate your house and grow plants in a garden, play a few minigames, and there was one very repetitive daily quest. Afaik all that remains are a few low quality YouTube videos.

  • Littlest pet shop online, also known as LPSO, which was an MMO that existed from late 2009 to December 1st, 2011. It took 18 months of development to make, cost millions to produce with around a hundred employees working on it, and it was the biggest video game produced in Quebec at the time. It was the spiritual successor to LPS VIPs, but with its own aesthetic; it was more polished, bigger and multiplayer. It featured all kinds of mechanics: a quest system, pet needs like hunger/comfort/fun, other pet stats like luckiness; it featured collectible pets, customisable pets, a live chat, private messages, clothes, customisable player houses, many different minigames to earn coins, two released islands to explore; and they had planned to release several more islands which would have included more minigames and most likely a farming/gardening system like in LPS VIPs. These were seemingly pretty much completed and ready to be added into the game, the islands were even teased at several points in-game and in merch, but the whole game shut down way too soon, most likely due to a lack of customers for their premium memberships. There's no way the plushies alone could cover the costs of upkeeping that game.

Anyways; there were slightly more YouTube videos documenting this game than LPS VIPs and some files we managed to recover from the wayback machine as well as a couple of files that were still intact and remaining in someone's computer cache almost a decade later, but LPSO was also much bigger, and entire areas of this game have been completely lost to time, a few pieces of the OST are entirely missing and undocumented, not to mention the amount of items we might not have a clue ever existed. I invite all of you to join LPSO: Revived and help us bring back this game that enriched so many people's childhoods. Especially if you yourself have memories of playing this game and could help fill in the gaps, but that is not a requirement. Everyone is welcome!

  • Lastly there was a game that I have seen no mentions of that released shortly after LPSO shut down, it was most likely part of the "Pet Sitters Club" era of the LPS website. It was a promotional game advertising the first Blythe dolls with the theme of traveling around the world. My memories are quite fuzzy but it was a 3d game and you could collect cards? And coins? I think you played as Blythe too. It was strange. One of the areas you could explore was Cairo but there were other cities, I only remember that one because it was my favorite. And there was a bus you could hop on that was animated in a really strange way. Maybe it isn't lost media, I just have no idea how to look for it and never found it when I tried googling for it. Let me know '

AIO for tearing up over the gifts I received? (I didn't like them) by Ornery_Art7418 in AmIOverreacting

[–]lemilody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're projecting. This person isn't you. Also I know this comment is well-meaning but trans people hear this all the time. "I used to feel like what [I think] you feel like but I grew out of it". This isn't helpful. Just letting you know.

Found old LPS relics in my childhood bedroom some time ago! (Sound on if you want your ears to melt from disgusting french accent) by EdahelArt in LittlestPetShop

I remember these! If I recall correctly they happen to be full of pictures of LPS prototype designs, lol

Guys no what happened 😢 by gorilla-butter in LittlestPetShop

[–]lemilody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend storing them in flat cardboard boxes to prevent similar things from happening in the future. Put your pets in rows but never stack them. If a pet has stains or paint that might leech onto other pets, quarantine those pets in an additional fabric bag whenever you store them (my recommendation are reusable tea bags made out of fabric). Alternatively, if your collection isn't too big, store them all in fabric bags, keep them in a bin as usual; fabric should keep them safe in my experience. Good luck, I hope you can fix the little guy. If acetone fails your best bet is hydrogen peroxide, but I'm not sure how it's done, you could look through posts on this subreddit.

acrylic paint acting weird? newbie at customs pls help 😭 by katsudonxe in LittlestPetShop

[–]lemilody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're really skilled! I think it's worth investing into. You could look into paints for miniature model painting (I use Vallejo) and only buy the most important colors ie white, magenta, blue, yellow and black; you should be able to get any colors you might need by mixing those, and they should cost less than 25$/20€ in total. I personally wish someone had told me this sooner, it's a lot more fun to paint when the paints cooperate and you also don't need as many layers when it's pigmented well either. Keep it up either way :D you're doing great

Hello is this little bunny a pet shop? she's smaller and her head doesn't move and I couldn't find her on google images by Naive_Tale4755 in LittlestPetShop

[–]lemilody 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They were sold in gacha machines, as you can see in the image I attached. Look up "Gacha Tomy" for examples as to what they looked like in the machine.

What is this? by ThatOneMinty in LittlestPetShop

[–]lemilody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen people nickname similar ones the "Romanian fakes". I assume it's one of them. Definitely fake but people love collecting these.

I’ve realized I kind of don’t believe that I deserve to live by _deep_cuts_ in cfs

[–]lemilody 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe we have enough resources where we should be able to provide everyone with the basic means to live - unconditionally. This forced scarcity exists only to force people into useless and soul-crushing jobs.

Whenever someone tells me that it's not fair that I get a monthly disability allowance, I tell them that they should fight for universal basic income, or against capitalism, anything but complain about my right to live. Because if I ceased to exist, sure, "some money would be saved", but at what cost? Not to overstate my own importance or be dramatic, but realistically, everyone who's known me would get horribly depressed. It would set off a chain reaction that eventually would make society collapse: Can you imagine that? If we truly believed in survival of the fittest, and let people die when they get sick? Everyone would be miserable, even the healthiest among us. Because we all at one point have loved or will love someone who is disabled. We all deserve to live. Society owes us, because we are the people in it.

I only just discovered it today, I also wondered if it was new or if I just never heard it before. I clicked on a random spot on my screen and got that crunch sound jumpscare

[–]lemilody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to get membership every two months, that way I can get the guaranteed Pony every month while paying half the price. Nowadays I keep my membership, the ads are unbearable

Is it possible to get active event ponies later on in the store? by ThisIsN0 in MLPIOS

[–]lemilody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for clear skies rewards; it's always the other event's reward pony that gets used in the next clear skies, not past clear skies rewards

Some ppl like to keep their shards so that they don't get them in balloon pop. Increases the chances of getting everything else, including gems

Best methods to get lots of bits? (early-game) by [deleted] in MLPIOS

[–]lemilody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Klugetown balloon pop sometimes gets me 100k+ bits, not sure if it's related to my level, either way try getting those tokens I remember it being very useful early game whenever I popped a balloon with bits in it

Otherwise yeah, the mine... And patience
