@vincent: Oh, have you kept it alive for all these years? 😊 If you're curious about the technical side of Tamagotchi, Natalie Silvanovich's work is worth checking out. It's a rabbit hole, though. I especially enjoyed reading Reliable Code Execution on a Tamagotchi (PDF).
@vincent Still going? Incredible! I would have thought the tamagotchi would be well out of college by now, thriving in the working world.
@sod this is my daughter’s. We bought it a few weeks ago, but she keeps forgetting about it. Gets to 5 days and then pretty much dies (as shown in the picture). So I’ll take the reins once she’s back in school.
That site looks great! Gonna have a browse.
I used to have a few a very long time ago, still somewhere if I took a 24 hour drive and a ferry to look for them in the attic.
@maique nah, this one died… hence it has wings and flying amongst the stars haha.
It’s my daughter’s that we bought for her a few weeks ago.
I had them ages ago too. Loved them. Kinda feels like the perfect distraction tech haha. Super simple and cute.
@odd yeah, that sounds right. I had a few then. Different versions. Such a great little toy to fill your “I need a distraction”… way better than a “smartphone”. Not that we had handhelds then.
@jeannie hopefully not VR/AR headsets… if that’s the case I’m going to just quit technology. Keep it pre-2000 😋
@jeannie it’s already bad watching everyone being glued to the phone, when they eat, when they’re with their kids and family, with friends, on the road (insert everything else). I think when I see a bus full of people with headsets… I’m just going to leave and live in solitude somewhere.
@vincent I never had one! 🤣🤣 I was aware of them, but never had one. I missed the wings, RIP Tamagotchi🙂
@vincent 🤣🤣🤣 I wasn’t even aware they were still available, but now you’ve got me interested.
@vincent I have been instructed to look after my sons. It grew up on day one and I killed it on day two lol
