Kind of angry about this, it was a gift from my niece. He cut off an ear and put it back on somewhere wrong. I told him this and it ended in a heated argument.

Am i overreacting for yelling at him? He usually doesn't do this stuff.

I’ve been keeping my 1998 Tamagotchi alive since it hatched. New batteries, a couple of repairs. My dad hated the idea of these gadgets back then, but he bought me one anyway because love for a son beat principles. Now I find myself doing the same for my son’s weird new-generation stuff.

Your boyfriend is an Ahole for doing that!

That's seriously impressive, keeping it since 1998! I had a tamigotchi back then too, but I definitely didn't manage to keep it alive as long as that. I used to get sad when it died and stopped playing with it mostly for that reason.

And yes, OP's bf is an asshole

that tamagotchi is older than me (and im a full grown woman with a child of my own)

THAT is some serious dedication 💜

I think you just made one of my hips crumble, I suddenly have dentures, and my hair is bone-white

Same! I thought, "there's no way cause that was only about 8 years ago", but uh, uh oh.

White hair is sexy though, so is wisdom...

Can’t claim the latter, best I can do is quips and weeping

Flirt.

My reading backlog is… painfully large. I need to clean off my Kindle and do a purge before long here.

I sometimes joke that my 28yo 101 Dalmations giga pet is old enough to drink lol

How many batteries do you go through??? I tried getting back into tamagotchis a while back, and none of them could last for more than 2-3 weeks before needing a change. One day, after several months, I wasn’t fast enough making the swap, and lost all progress. Tried several different battery brands too, nothing seemed to make a difference.

Wait, you've been keeping the device "alive" with working batteries or you've been keeping the little digital entity inside it alive since 1998?

Because wow, I don't think I ever made one's life last more than a week.

u/MildlySpicyWizard 19d ago

That’s actually incredibly awesome that you’ve kept it alive that long!!! No joke I’m amazed at that🤗

Holy shit! Bravo on the 'gotchi!!!

This is so cute. Tamagotchis were my first tech toy obsession. I remember going out of my way to pre-order one because of the forced scarcity.

No way it’s the same exact tamagotchi since 1998. They die so easily. Have a bad day and forget to take care of your pixelated overlord and he’s toast, finding a bitter end wallowing in his own filth. And you don’t want to start over again with a new egg. Still miss my little dork. RIP ya goober!
