Just making a quick update… my early-release version of the Tamagotchi Smart arrived today!! Unboxing and initial insights will be posted soon! π
Joining the Smartwatch Bandwagon!
It’s a chilly, rainy day today – perfect day for pho! This was my first pho since November of last year, thanks to our never-ending cycle of Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions. It’s still as good as I remember it! π So it finally happened – after years of contemplating whether to get a smartwatch or […]
Tamagotchi Smart!
Welp, I just preordered a smart watch… I’ve been collecting the recent colour Tamagotchi versions so I can’t miss out on this one! For this year’s 25th anniversary of the Tamagotchi toy (originally came out in 1997), the egg-shaped toy is evolving into its latest iteration – in a “smart watch” form! I really liked […]
Weekend Thoughts #10
Raise your hand if you haven’t played half of the games on your Steam game library? Guilty. And that’s about to get worse, because recently my roommate and a couple of friends at work convinced to pick up The Forest. I like horror movies so I think this is right up my alley! I’ve played […]
Happy Holidays!!
Early New Year’s resolution: write some more! Hope everyone’s enjoying the festive season! π Finally, I found the time to write again after the crazy holiday season. I’ve been going double-down on my bedroom as I’ve been acquiring new Hue lights for my little “smart room” and I’m liking my little setup so far. Currently […]
Weekend Thoughts #8
Been quite a rough month, but I’m glad November’s over and done with, and I capped it off with some Black Friday shopping! I got myself some smart-home stuff – a Philips Hue LED strip (thinking of using this for some flexible action photography lighting), a Chromecast, and a few new plane models for my […]
Weekend Thoughts #7
The fall-back is here! I enjoyed my extra hour of sleep today π (I preferred the summer daylight time to stick around, but for now it is what it is.) Speaking of daylight adjustments, it’s about that time of the year now that I finally address my #1 enemy during this time – waking up […]
Tamagotchi Breeding Experiment
I’ve been running this latest version of the Tamagotchi for a while now and I’m having fun with the mixing (breeding) functions across generations; a fun mechanism where the creature’s look will depend on the parents’ genes. On my Blue Fantasy version I managed to breed a rare “Clock” Tamagotchi, one of the coolest characters […]
A Chibi Voltes V!
For the uninitiated, Voltes V (pronounced “Voltes Five”) is a popular anime about a team of people piloting a five-machine fleet of powerful aircraft that the Earth used to defend itself against the Boazanians, an alien humanoid race that attempted to invade Earth and spread their beast fighters all over the galaxy. I grew up […]
Sticky Genetics
Is there anyone here who still remembers Tamagotchis? The fad died down in North America in the early 2000’s but in Japan (its hometown) it never really went away. In fact, they introduced colour screen back in 2008 and have been introducing new versions almost every year after that with new features for every iteration. […]
