I was browsing around the gallery menu in Worms: Ultimate Mayhem to see if I unlocked anything after doing the 5 easter eggs. Then I saw this, and my mind started breaking down.

1st Image: When I first saw this, I thought his tongue got stung by a bee and swelled up. Then, for some crazy reason, I thought it was a worm in a worm.

2nd Image: This gave the full context: it was just the worm being turned inside out. Kinda gave me some relief, but still, the image of a worm being turned inside out is still a little unnerving.

Just got back into drifting and somewhat got the basics. This is what I know I'm struggling on.

• Maintaining throttle control in 3rd gear and above.
• Transitioning smoothly.
• Holding lines.

There's probably more that I'm fucking up on but can't see right it away.

I believed they were called Smilies. They're a closed species exclusive to the Little Big Planet platform (specifically LBP2), created by a user called Deaddy05.

Basically, they were furry-like creatures that wore masks—kinda resembled cats/foxes in form. Here are some pictures I saved. Unfortunately, this is all I have since LBP.Me got shut down years ago due to repeated DDoS attacks, and the original creator has since disappeared almost entirely, at least to my knowledge. They did have a Google+ before it got shut down. The Yellowfaced one(Don't remember their name) was their main fursona, while the left was an oc of theirs, if memory serves me right. 

The species and its creator were relatively well-known in the animation meme community on LBP around 2017-2019ish. If I recall correctly, there were a couple of moderately sized controversies with the species creator Deaddy05

1. They often went after people who made characters that looked similar to her species(Bassically any furry with a flat-faced mask). Targeted quite a few people within the LBP animation meme community. They claimed their species was copyrighted. This happened around 2018.
2. This ties into 1. Doxed a user called Twilight_03"?"(Can't remember the username) and stole two of her OC's and animation memes and published them for others to download and copy.

I believe that sometime after the drama, they left LBP and moved to DeviantArt and Kik in early 2019-2020, and then slowly dropped off the earth. 

Does anyone else here know of this obscure species, or remember being active within the LBP community around the time this species was active?

Edit: Fixed some grammar.

Some old screenshots I found on my hard drive from 12/27/2015.

This is a save file from 2019'sh that I've just hopped on recently. Thought I'd share some of these liveries I did.

Probably going to be the last VR clip I post here because I feel like I'm already overdoing it.

^(Definitely need to tweak my settings more when it comes to recording on more complex maps, multiple A.I. cars, and playing music in the background. Might need to upgrade RAM as well.)

This took like 11+ tries or something because of pile-ups or damaging the steering/suspension too much.

You know, that one.

I'll admit I was at fault here, but come on man. That was overkill.

Old clip btw.

I was originally using Steam Link VR because when I first tried doing it through Meta Horizon Link, it lagged like crazy despite my PC having an Intel Core i9 with a 4060. I fixed it today after Steam Link kept dropping quality every couple of minutes, causing my PC to crash. Now it runs buttery smooth, and I have a better capture view.

Anyways, enjoy watching me and the A.I. cook ourselves on Beam Mountain.

Waiting for the day the AI gets a driver mod.

Ngl, I'm rusty af, and my lines were off. Also, I normally use FWD or AWD, so RWD is still kinda iffy for me atm.

This is one of my favorite things to do in VR.
