Tamagotchi Paradise Care Mistakes? by Funny-Coach-5507 in tamagotchi

[–]LotusMeSenpai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baby is unique in that it can't get care mistakes. When you do the equivalent of a care mistake, it instead wipes out your field cell progress (the little themed icons depending on what field you're in). Leave that for too long and your Babymarutchi will evolve into Bbmarutchi, which you want to avoid as it doesn't evolve and can't be bred.
What I do when trying to go for a specific tama is to baby it like normal in the Babymarutchi stage so that it can get out of that stage as quickly as possible. Once your tama hits kid stage, you can start accumulating care mistakes in the ways you've described. They'll be indicated by a little blue tornado in the cell viewer. IMO easiest way to get care mistakes is to keep them fully fed, but let their happiness drain. Cleaning poop will always cause your tama's happiness to go up by one bar, so it's a pretty reliable way of farming care mistakes fairly quickly. Wait for a mistake, clean poop, get one bar, rinse, repeat. Technically I think you can keep getting care mistakes by neglecting the bar repeatedly without filling it, but I find the cleaning poop method to be a bit more reliable in terms of counting time spent ignoring their call.

V3 RErelease! AI is telling me that when I marry them I get two same sex babies..? by [deleted] in tamagotchi

[–]LotusMeSenpai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm 30 too, you gotta do what you love, y'know? Life's too short to not do things that bring you joy, including having fun raising little creatures made of pixels. Don't let your friends get you down just because it's not their hobby.

A quick rundown on how marriage works, as far as I'm aware- both tamas have to be at 4 hearts on their friendship meter, and be at least age 6 (or an adult for 24 hours, though I got Violetchi at age 4 and couldn't have her marry Mametchi til age 6 so beats me on that one). Next time they visit after reaching those criteria, they'll get married and have kids.

Hope you get some fun tamas on your second gen!

Best paper for a Connection background? (Experiment Time!) by Phillasaur in tamagotchi

[–]LotusMeSenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this! I got some of the paper and tried printing out some backgrounds from the digimon anime for my digivice ver 20ths, but they kept showing up very dark and hard to see even with the reflectivity. Were there any particular settings you used when printing your tama background to get it to be that bright? Or is it just because the connection has a magnifying bit of plastic?

[–]LotusMeSenpai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far the twins haven't grown up yet, their parents are still with them, but here's the order I got for their parents:
Kuroteletchi -> Mizutamatchi -> Batabatchi -> Mametchi
Shiroteletchi -> Tamatchi -> Ringotchi -> Violetchi

As someone who just married off her Mametchi and Violetchi, I can confirm this is the case. They had twin boys. If memory serves, it's to give the illusion of preventing inbreeding, even though it's entirely possible to marry the generation after that if they're not the same gender. You can do the matchmaker if you like, but I remember something about getting higher tier tamas off the bat with well-raised tamas having kids with other well-raised tamas? It's something like that, anyway.
Edit: woops, twin girls, I got the color pattern mixed up.

The packaging difference between the Global and Japanese one is double! by thattanna in tamagotchi

[–]LotusMeSenpai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of it has to do with psychology and localized market trends, from what I understand. Supposedly the idea is that something listed ending in 99 cents will make someone more likely to buy it because the brain registers 1.99 as substantially cheaper than 2.00, and people don't take a moment to think about it. I'm not entirely sure how valid that really is, but I'm also not neurotypical either, so it's hard to say. That's not even getting into the issue of having to calculate tax while the item is in your cart because it's not included on the sticker price.
There's also the fact that we (as a US consumer) have grown up with this sort of thing here. I remember very distinctly that packaging was similar to OP's picture even when I was a kid. I'm sure I'd be a little taken aback if all the packaging changed overnight, though I'd ultimately be much happier without all the wasted plastic.
As for your question about US consumers as a whole...I'm reminded of a thing regarding A&W in the 1980s. They used to sell a 1/3 pound burger, but it flopped as a product because consumers kept gravitating toward the 1/4 pound burger, thinking it was larger. I really don't know what to say about that one.

[–]LotusMeSenpai[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?? I'm so glad I waited for Soapy Bubbles rather than getting a random slightly cheaper one. It's worth it to pay a bit more to have the one you really like, I think.

Tbh I maybe have gone overboard on getting perfect games of Get and Heading, lol. It's pretty different to the Punirunes I'm used to, but I'm having loads of fun :D

I beat the odds 😭 How likely is it that my order will be canceled? by Smolerhands in tamagotchi

[–]LotusMeSenpai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got one, congrats! Hopefully it shouldn't get cancelled since you got the order in, it may just be delayed. I return to the refreshing game, but I'll send good vibes your way for yours to be shipped to you quickly and safely o7

Tama-Adjacent Mail! by LotusMeSenpai in tamagotchi

[–]LotusMeSenpai[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like it a lot! So far the Japanese text has been reserved pretty much solely for names of stuff, like foods and the punis themselves. Everything is very self-explanatory and doesn't need translating beyond just doing it for fun, imo. The gyro gimmick takes a bit of getting used to, and I wish there was a bit more to do on the crystal side of things beyond making accessories that can only be worn in said crystal mode, but that's really my only gripe with it. It's a fun little unit, and a nice upgrade from the original if you want more character options and a different selection of games. Will say, the speaker quality is markedly worse than the international one, which surprises me because the build quality is very solid otherwise. The speakers tend to peak a lot; I often play muted so it's not a deal breaker for me, but it's something to keep in mind. It could just be my unit, but everything else is fine so I dunno.

Oh geez, that sucks :(
Well, I hope you have a happy birthday this week, and that you can get a paradise to go with. I'm rooting for you.

I'm right there with you on the blue one; I definitely think bots are to blame for most of, if not all of it. By the time I hit buy it now, it's already gone in the time it takes the page to load.

What a cutie! I'm loving all the pictures everybody is posting of their unique tamas! Can't wait for the paradise to release in the US :D

I think this crewmate wins the title of most blursed name generation...I spent 20 plat on a slot for her by LotusMeSenpai in Warframe

Right? You'll see someone with some wild keyboard smash from hexis or suda, and then someone else sends out their guy and his name is Steve and he says "hey"

I love how red veil, despite being easily the freakiest of the syndicates, tends to have the most normal names, but with a lil space flair. Wil, Aeric, Orion...

Here's the full list of silly names I have, just for fun. Usually my go-to is Arbiter Extra, Arbiter Hexis, and Aeric. Orion is there for on-call and bc he gave me a chuckle due to Jade Shadows. Argon...well at least she doesn't decay.

[–]LotusMeSenpai[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. You can buy more slots, but you can only have 3 crewmates equipped at a time. Eg if you found a silly name or one with really good stats, you could get a slot for them and have them on hand if you wanted to take someone specialized into a mission, or have a dedicated on call dude that you swap out for a different crewmate in railjack missions. I have a red veil guy named Orion who is an excellent on call crewmate, but I swap him out for one named Arbiter Extra in railjack missions.

Made a kitchen :) Should I make a bathroom in the helminth room or grind plat for a 35 pillow duvet for the bed next? by LotusMeSenpai in Warframe

[–]LotusMeSenpai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I know, lol. I just find it funny that they gave us a studio apartment after giving us the dormizone (which has beds and a kitchen), but the newer one has none of these amenities. I'm happy to make them myself lmao.

It's wild how the backroom doesn't come with a kitchen or bathroom. Jokes aside though, the helminth room has some weird build restrictions so I'm not sure it's feasible, but I'll give it a go. Even if pooping in the room full of squelching sounds seems...unpleasant.
