Q: What is Shimeji?
A: Shimeji is a program for windows 2000 and vista, that is basically like your average desktop sitter, or that old purple monkey from the older version’s if windows, minus the whole “Rogue adware” thing. They come in all sorts of skin’s, its most commonly japanese skins, but recently boards like 4chan have found it, and began crafting skins for it. It’s same as BONZIBuddy or sheep.exe, except it’s customisable; yes, you can download packs that allow for your favourite characters to walk/climb/be generally cute on your screen.
Q: Why is it called Shimeji?
A: It references to a japanese mushroom, saying like they duplicate like japanese mushrooms.
Q:What do they do?
A: Once you run the program, a icon will appear on your toolbar, diffrent icon’s for diffrent skins, usually. As they fall from the top of your screen, they will usually stand up and walk around a bit. For a minute or two they may stand still for a second to call apon coding, then they will wander around your desktop, sometimes sitting down to relax, or climbing along your monitor sides.
Q: Anything amazing?
A: Well, the thing is programmed to be able to climb on windows, and on occasion. Pull them to the point where they can throw it offscreen. (There is a function to make it return to desktop though.) They can also duplicate themselves freely, but you can just use another function to remove all but one. And no, as far as I know there isnt a way to stop them from duplicating, unless you edit the code.
The five new girls are:. Satori Komeiji. Mystia Lorelei. Kogasa Tatara. Letty Whiterock. These are different from the regular shimejis; these float around on your desktop, and you can interact with them in a few ways (fast mouseover left/right will dizzy them, mouseover up/down forces them to move, and they'll look at you. Present for you all. I found some Touhou Shimeji (Desktop Buddies) while surfing around. I got them from DigitalRomance.wordpress.com. I also translated an action/behavior xml file so that they could be used with the english manager. Like shown. There is only Marisa, Patchouli, Cirno and Reimu.
