#tamagotchion — Public Fediverse posts

@TheQuinbox I've been feverishly refreshing Mercari to get my hands on another #TamagotchiON to try modding it because I don't want to lose progress on my current run, but the ONs are so grossly overpriced, it's insane.

Okay, so remember my last post about #Tamagotchi? No? Well, too bad. So I dug into the Tamagotchi lore and series because I am an inquisitive bastard and can't stop myself from researching sh!t I'm interested in. And oh my fucking god, I have stumbled across an insane rabbit-hole.

For one, the amount of Tamagotchi devices is just... fucking wild, and it just keeps going and going and going. Me with my single #TamagotchiON, the old Tamagotchi I have locked up in storage (really need to fish it out), and the Tamagotchi Original app (that's not longer available) is NOTHING compared to the insane amount of different Tamagotchi devices, in and outside of Japan.

Thirdly, I only thought the modding community focused on making custom shells and that's it. Yeah, no, I was wrong, very, very wrong. Some Tamagotchi devices are SUPER moddable. Like, with the Tamagotchi ON, because of it's Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capabilities, people have found ways to make and send custom content to their devices. So, you can make custom rooms, accessories, and food, but that's not it. You can also make entirely custom Tamagotchi SPECIES, minigames, and even areas! Pretty much every aspect of gameplay is moddable, which is insane to me. No hard-modding required.

In fact, it's so easy that there are entire goddamn markets dedicated to selling custom Tamagotchi ON content. You can buy a custom Tamagotchi species for 16 bucks online. And yes, these custom species do in fact work with the ON's breeding mechanic. What a world.

But the ON isn't the only moddable device, but I'm not going to list them all since I don't know them off the top of my head, but the most recent example is insanely enough, the #TamagotchiParadise. Yeah, the Tamagotchi series that came out only a month ago? Someone already figured out how to add custom content to it, though it does require external wires since as far as I know, the Paradise doesn't have wireless functionality (gee, I wonder why).

Safe to say that the Tamagotchi Modding Community is actually cracked and I have massive respect for it.

:tamagotchi_uni: This is now a Tama Review thread :tama_mimitchi:

So one of my first remarks is that it's so tiny compared to other Tamagotchis before it. The Tamagotchi Pix is the one that looks like an egg hatching, and it is just massive compared to the Tamagotchi On which is a little smaller, followed by the Tamagotchi Uni which is at least half or less the size of the other two.

The Tamagotchi Uni really feels like how you remember your Tamagotchi as a kid was (assuming you had a colorless Original Tamagotchi). I'm so impressed with how small the Uni is. I've never seen a color screen Tamagotchi so small.

As you can see, the Tamagotchi On Wondergarden (left) and the Tamagotchi Pix look totally different. I even dressed the Wondergarden up in a little green cat protective case to distinguish it.

I don't know why this photo looks so spooky...

I JUST FOUND MY TAMAGOTCHI ON! Fam, you don't understand. I hadn't run a tamagotchi in 3 years and I only recently picked up the Tamagotchi Pix to run it because I mentioned Tamagotchi at work recently and I grabbed the one I had sitting on a shelf in a display case.

Apparently I had a lunch box with another Tamagotchi stash that I totally forgot about. I thought I lost the previous ones in a move, but I have it! I also got the Tamagotchi Pix and On confused, and so for the past hour I've been trying to figure out how to unlock a location that is completely not possible on the Pix.

Oh god, do I feel like such a loser. Can you believe I confused the Pix and the On? One of them has a camera... what am I doing with my life?
