I think our best bet is looking for old videos of gameplay or videos featuring the toys in general, and seeing if there's a way to contact the uploaders on if they still have the software or its installation tool.

Hmm, good luck with that!
In the ad it shows a CD of the game - assuming that these CD's were actually produced and marketed and not just featured in the ad (because yes, things like that DO happen) - then it would just be a matter of locating the CD and finding a computer with the right hardware to run it.
Hopefully it'll get found

Hi! I'm Fun Cupcake and I pop onto the forums every now and then to ask questions or try and help out.

My goal is to help people out and brighten their days!

Also, I do in fact have a voice-acted series. It's a fantasy story and I'd love it if you'd check it out!
You could also check out Sprinkle Town, a town game I created inspired by Stardew Valley! (It's still in very early development stages.)

i remember being in a U.B funkeys phase like two or three years ago and i thought of this thing that was basically just the famps portal and when you stepped onto it you teleported away for a second and when you came back you were all dirty

Like 3/4 of the commenters on it's page on the Lost Media Wiki say they have it/seen it
edit: I wish terrible products for use just on a computer were a thing T-T (the coffee one is the best)

Reducing activity on Scratch during the month of June, and only popping in if I need to say something important. Contact me on external sites for a faster response.

Y'know for lost media this is actually high quality. 99% of lost media I find is either decent or have this trashy VHS look.

Up to doctors early my leg gave me on the way there, smashed my knee.

Back again. This time with two one as I found the rest (both were DVDs and from around my dad's time)

It was a collection of fairytale (snow Queen, the nutcracker etc.) Buy there was one I'm still unsure of, it was about a glass bottle who was alive. The only things I remember is the bottle briefly being spotted by the store owner and he questions it along with the bottle falling into a river. The shorts were all Disney style but I can confirm they are not Disney.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I found it but all the descriptions don't ring a bell and it seems way more plot detailed when I remember nothing of it. I'm looking for the original source

Edit 2: I've found a promotional poster for the shorts buy I can't seem to find any leads on it.

I remember watching this terribly animated Star Wars ripoff with dogs at the main characters. I tried looking it up, but nothing similar popped up. If you could find it, that would be great, but I think it possibly could be lost media. (I remember picking it up at my local library, I might be able to find it again and post some screenshots and stuff)
i mean, that reminds me of the movie space buddies, but that was live action with cgi characters.

Me too. I thought so at first.

This is my signature. You may already know that when you click on this and press shift+down (that's the selecting downward keyboard shortcut), you can see more of it. (mobile users I'm trying to make sure that the most important stuff goes on top of this sig) Did you know this also happens with profile activity? XD

Does anyone know that kpop song that went “Friction, Friction (something in Korean) ooh friction, friction”

Saw the MV a few years ago and I'm wondering where it is.

I checked the lyrics and its not this song, but that just made me think of Fire by BTS, but replacing all the “fire” lyrics with friction

It would also be a matter of creating a F.A.M.P.S private server and modding the game to connect to it instead of the official long-gone servers, as I presume that because it's a toy-to-life game online connectivity would be an important part of it.

If you either A) get the source code, which ain't happening or B) manually decompile the source code of the macOS version, then you could. At that rate, though, it would just be easier to launch a macOS virtual machine - no matter how hard it may be - and use F.A.M.P.S there.

And now, an excerpt from Matrix Dimensions (2101).

Morpheus (holding out left hand):
You take the blue pill, the story ends; you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
(Holding out right hand):
You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
(Holding out middle hand?):
You take the purple pill…
Neo (confused as heck):
Wha…?
Morpheus (continued):
…I choose for you; be warned: it's probably not going to be the blue pill.
(Neo takes the blue pill and the purple pill.)
Morpheus (visibly annoyed):
The blue pill was a placebo…
(The blue pill was not a placebo.)
…and you chose the purple pill, meaning I choose for you. Come with me.
(Morpheus throws Neo out of an opened window, Neo breaking an arm and a leg in the process.)
Morpheus:
No one abuses the pills…
(continued, holding out hand below middle hand??)
…especially when you don't take the mandatory green pill.
Neo (telepathically to Morpheus):
Jinx! One… two…
(Morpheus doesn't want to be jinxed, so he jumps out of the window, breaking one of his arms and one of his legs in the process.)
Neo (weakly):
Ha! Now do you feel my pain?
Morpheus (weakly):
No, not really. Didn't feel a thing.
(Morpheus and Neo go back inside the building, while limping.)
