I’M STILL DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR: ▪ Zappy Beamer, a German alien vpet that looks like this

He huge !!!???!?!

i genuinely don't expect tumblr to die a quick, sudden death anytime soon, but it never hurts to do a backup

new coworker

there is just something so counterintuitive about the sounds

why are there sound effects for the idle animations (which i don't need to react to) but not for when Star Cat does one of its tricks on its own (which is good to reward to avoid discipline going down)?

i was under the false assumption that the Monster Carnival Uni had the monster aesthetics exclusive to the actual tamagotchi device

not that it's just a standard Uni with a DLC code included

well in that case i'm gonna spend 6 Euros instead of 60ish obviously

Got myself a new (old) non-Bandai vpet that I've been keeping a casual eye out for ever since I first read about it on tamenagerie.

According to the manual (which I put under the Read More) you can choose between cat, crab, butterfly, fish, dinosaur, dog, chicken and... chick? (which I assume to just be a generic non-chicken bird; it looked a bit like a dove in the menu)

I picked the kitty because ofc I did.

The pet comes with 3 feeding options (main course, snack and drink), two games (guess left or right, thow a dice and guess if it'll be a low or a high number), singing and dancing.

The latter two aren't interactive, you just press the button and it plays a little melody (I recognized Bingo, Jingle Bells and Beethoven's 9th so far, but there are a few more). When you sing with it, it's a little musical note and a smiley face on the screen, and when you dance it's a pair of feet moving to the melody.

I fed my kitty, played, sung and danced with her and also already cleaned her litter box once, and now she's just keeping me company, silently bouncing around on the screen~

Her stats rn:

That's all there is in the stats menu.

The happiness and hungry meters only show up when you go to the feeding menu or open one of the games.

It's pretty low maintenance so far and the kitty cat is kinda cute, too, imo.

Only downside: Just like the Smart Chick the animations are limited. When feeding it or playing with it the pet will just look like a little smiley face or Marutchi.

But at least when it pooped it looked like a kitten sitting on the screen, waiting for me to clean up.

I won't be able to give it a full run rn bc I'm set to leave on a business trip tomorrow and next week is gonna be pretty stressful, too, but I'm looking forward to the next time I have the chance to explore it some more :3

(At some point I'd also like to have a 9-in-1 Gyaoppi, 10-in-1 Gyaoppi clone or 8-in-1 Octo-Pet. Although my number one goal is still to get my hands on a Zappy Beamer like the one I had as a kid. I wish I knew where it ended up. Maybe I lost it on one of my many moves or it's in my mom's basement on the bottom of an old cardboard box :,D)

this time i'll bid my time and wait for at least some of the (inevitable) special editions or whatever to be announced before i decide on which version i'll get!

btw, i did get a Smart when it came out but. i think i didn't even play a whole first generation on it yet? bc the touch screen sparked a lot of things in me, none of which were joy, so that’s why i never blogged about it here ^^’

i think the last color tamagotchi that actually got me engaged was the iDL. i ran my Mix/Meets/On ones for quite a while as well, but i didn't really do anything with them aside from breeding them and doing the bare minimum to keep them from complaining.

(my P's is a little broken so i don't dare to move it much, when i run it, leave alone take it with me anywhere, which has limited my motivation to run it much tbh)

my favs are still the older tamas with the monochromatic pixel displays and no backlight, bc i like that they don't turn off after a minute or two and it feels more like the tama is keeping you company and you can just glance over to see how it's doing even with the sound off

Ok so when my Ocean died, I hatched a new egg. I didn’t rly intend to keep it, in fact I turned off the sound and out it aside to take put the batteries later or the next day.

I just completely ignored it, assuming it’ll be dead (again) anyway the next morning.

Only it wasn’t.

It was sick and had pooped and had never eaten or played a game in its life, but it was still alive somehow.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I HAD IT PAUSED

BUT IT GOT KINDA BURIED UNDERNEATH MY SKETCHBOOK THAT APPARENTLY UNPAUSED IT

AND THEN IT DIED

Guess what I got! :D

I’ve wanted one of these for a while now but then went on a bit of a tama break and suddenly the prices on eBay went wild. BUT! I found a private seller who had kept this baby in excellent condition - not sure he touched it at all since originally buying it, except to remove the batteries - and he was willing to let go of it for a pretty reasonable price :3

ANYWAY

WOW

People sure weren’t exaggerating with how needy the Ocean is, huh. The hearts empty fast and the time window you have to scare away the bear is tiny af.

So far I’ve always had it close to me and kept checking the stats every ten or so minutes, and whenever I couldn’t do this bc of a zoom meeting or a bathroom break or bc I was in the kitchen to make smth to eat I paused it.

The polar bear still got to it once and I think it got sick twice or so aside from that as well. I’m keeping snacks to a minimum, the Hungry hearts at 3-4 and the Happy hearts at 2-4. And the water clean, too, obviously.

And I’m proud to report that through all that hard work I managed to get it to the child stage.

If I didn’t have to pause it bc of an attention-consuming work project in the upcoming days it would’ve probably grown up later today but alas. Guess I’ll have to wait a little longer to see that happening.

Lovelitchi went back to her home planet and started working as a waitress there :3

After that I took out the batteries.

So what's my final verdict on the Pix... It's nice. I think gameplay-wise I like it better than the On/Meets/M!x but I have to admit that I do somewhat miss the multigenerational aspect from previous (pre-M!x) tama models a bit. .... Although I guess it doesn't matter if the next generation is the biological kid of the previous now, does it.

Still annoyed at the touch buttons. Too unreliable. Not once have I gotten the medicine "shortcut" gesture to work or gotten anywhere in the time-sensitive games so far.

But overall... nice.

Yeah.

✨

By the way what is UP on eBay these days?

The prices are ridiculous; i can't imagine a lot of these offers aren't just fakes that the seller doesn't even expect to get buyers for and only put at that price to overall bump up the prices, so what they actually want for their stuff will seem reasonable in comparison even though they are still way too expensive.

Maybe it's several sellers or accounts of the same seller even?

Idk, it's wild.
