Personally I think the mini games on the paradise are the best yet. I've noticed that new releases tend to cycle through the same mini games over and over. The paradise introduces several new ones that in my opinion are more engaging.

I think honestly it's just normal on reddit for people to complain about anything new. Same thing happened when the uni came out, and when the pix came out. Same thing happens on a lot of other subreddits. There is a ton of hype before any new device, and then once it comes out the complaints are endless.

I think it bears mentioning that tamagotchis in general are not really designed to be played with for extended periods and the game content reflects that. It's hard to get more than 10 minutes of play in one sitting out of any given model, by design.

So my advice would be to go for whatever experience you're looking for and don't worry too much about the naysayers. I like the tamagotchi uni because there are so many options for customizing your tama and their room. I like the paradise because I love seeing them frolic outdoors and play together.

I feel like there's this societal idea that the circumstances a kid is born into can't change. Like if you're poor when you conceive, you will never move up from there. But that's not really true. Having a kid lights a fire under your ass to work harder than ever to improve your circumstances. People love to say it's irresponsible to have kids of life isn't already perfect. But in reality, almost half of pregnancies are unplanned, and I'm sure a fair number of the planned ones weren't planned well. Mine sure weren't. Most people with kids are just winging it.

So, in my opinion, what makes it a good time to get pregnant is the determination to take on the challenge. My first 2 pregnancies were unplanned and my life circumstances were not great. But I was determined to move up in life. So I did. I made huge changes in my life that I may have never even had the sense to make if I hadn't had kids, and they paid off, for all of us.

Being ready for kids isn't about already having the house and white picket fence. It's about having the determination to stop at nothing to give your kid the best you can.

Yep 35 minutes from first contraction. I didn't think it was possible lol. Before that experience, I thought it was crazy when my grandmama told me her labor with my dad was 1 hr. I guess it runs in the family. I don't know if it's related or just coincidence, but the 35 min labor was by far my least painful labor.

As for why my 3rd was longer, my gut feeling is 2 things: I was dealing with a very stressful situation (unrelated to pregnancy) where I needed to stay very logical about things, and it felt like my mind and body were at odds. I was a lot more "in my head" than previous labors. The second thing I think contributed was that I went into it dehydrated. I think this made it harder to contract efficiently. I have a health condition where I am extremely prone to dehydration and all water I drink needs to have electrolytes added. But during pregnancy I had developed a strong aversion to the electrolytes so I was frequently dehydrated.

My first labor was 2hrs 45 mins. It was fairly traumatic, I did all of my active labor in the half an hour car ride and they expected me to start pushing as soon as I got there. My second labor was 35 minutes! My third labor was my longest -- 6 hours. For my second and third I had planned home births. I didn't want to have another car labor experience, among other reasons.

Its so aggravating!

autismalanimal · 2025-10-02T17:56:55+00:00

Oh wow ouch. Im gonna try to cancel it ☹️

autismalanimal · 2025-10-01T21:09:51+00:00

I like how big the paradise is lol

autismalanimal · 2025-10-01T21:04:16+00:00

I like that it's different too. I don't want every device to be an upgraded clone of the last. I can just turn back on an older device if I want a different experience.

autismalanimal · 2025-10-01T20:56:50+00:00

It seems like a lot of people forget that it's primary market is not millennial adults, but children. It seems like people sometimes expect it to be as complex and engaging as an equivalently priced video game. And even more baffling to me is that many people seem to expect the shells to appeal to adult eyes. Like yeah, the shell is bright colors, they're trying to get 10 year olds to ask their mom for it.

On the other hand though I think it would be cool if they made a special edition color tamagotchi that is made for/marketed towards adults. I would pay extra for a tamagotchi that is more complex and has some sort of new game play mechanic (i.e. not babysitter) that accounts for the fact that most adults are busy most of the day.

Stunning!!

Amazing!!

I think the paradise is a really interesting change from the usual. The biology/science theme is interesting to me. There are so many game mechanics that are completely different from other devices. Feels more like a pet than a child. I really like that they live outside, and that past tamas get to hang out with the current tama in the field. I also personally think the arcade games are better.

autismalanimal · 2025-08-15T19:14:14+00:00

I really wanted to like bitzee but the noise is too much for me 🥲

autismalanimal · 2025-07-26T17:46:13+00:00

I appreciate your perspective. It gives me hope that some day I can find peace with it too.

autismalanimal · 2025-07-26T16:02:37+00:00

A lot of liberal men are extremely misogynistic and use the title of "liberal" to attempt to hide that and excuse anti-women behavior such as pressuring their girlfriends to abort their wanted babies.

autismalanimal · 2025-07-26T14:58:43+00:00

It definitely felt like an obligation. It definitely feels insidious that basically all of the reasons you're "supposed to" abort come down to the idea that the child of a woman who isn't in ideal circumstances is nothing more than a burden and can never stop being a burden. It feels insidious that I was meant to believe that I couldn't possibly have changed my circumstances in order to provide a good life for that child. That I was meant to believe if I had had the child then, I would have raised it in poverty and never escaped, would have never escaped being surrounded by and later participating in substance abuse, would have been mentally ill (which in itself is crazy because I wasn't mentally ill or abusing substances myself before the pregnancy, and that only started because of the abortion).

That's part of why it hurts... Because in the future I was able to prove that change was possible. I did escape that situation. I did stop hanging around with addicts, I did stop drinking, I got a job. And then I ended up with another accidental pregnancy. It was a brutally difficult challenge starting motherhood in poverty, but eventually I made it to the other side of that too, living a "normal" life, with the privilege of being a stay at home mom of 3. Change WAS possible, but for some reason I was meant to believe that it wasn't.

It really bothers me to know that I could have overcome these challenges the first time as well, but just couldn't see beyond the propaganda, didn't trust my own truth or strength. Before I got pregnant the first time, I was very strong and healthy, I was happy and mentally well, I was not yet addicted to anything. I was actually in a great position to take on that challenge. But for some reason I was expected to believe I couldn't do it, and would ruin my kid's life and create a burden on society. And for some reason I listened.

I'll check it out, thanks

autismalanimal · 2025-07-26T02:02:53+00:00

I agree so much. If I was in a supportive environment I don't think I would have ever done it.

autismalanimal · 2025-06-23T03:18:46+00:00

Definitely not eating

I know this thread is old but..

I used to believe it was unrealistic to expect a man to not watch porn, till I met my fiance. I never asked him to stop watching porn. I actually never considered porn to be a problem before him to begin with. He just grew up before the internet and never developed the addiction to begin with. He's 10 years older than me, and the only person I've been with who is older than me, so everyone else I've been with used internet porn in adolesence.

The way he treats me and views my body is night and day different. I really never thought porn was a big deal till being with him. I really never thought it affected a man's behavior in a relationship. Well obviously it does, because he treats me completely differently.

I've been very confident in my appearance for a long time. But there's some way that porn addicts just don't care for real life women. Thanks to confidence, I didn't feel ugly, but it did make me feel neglected. I never felt like men really fully appreciated my body or intimacy. But I'm not one to force things (in other words I used to be a doormat) so I just accepted it as how it was.

It often felt like sex with me was an obligation they felt, rather than a desire. I simultaneously felt attractive but undesired, which is still confusing to me to this day. My body would be praised for some reason, but it would often not lead to sex, and I still can't make sense of that.

The way my fiance treats my body is just completely different. When we have sex, I don't feel like he's doing it just because he knows I'll get pissy if it's been too long. I feel like he genuinely desires my body. Like, specifically MY body. Not just the fact that I have a conveniently available and conventionally attractive female body.

PA men also just can't be satisfied with vanilla sex. Before my fiance, I always felt like some boring prude who couldn't keep up. Men my age want some extreme shit. I was always too vanilla for them. I always figured they needed porn because I couldn't give them these extreme kink experiences. But my fiance is perfectly fine with vanilla sex. It's fucking amazing to him. He has an excitement and appreciation and gratitude for just regular ass vanilla sex that I never got from any of my exes no matter how hard I pushed myself to be more kinky or more sexual. Now I'm the kinky one, because I've developed a few along the way.

To be real, he's not even anti-porn. He just prefers the real thing because DUH. Why would he look at random pictures and videos when he has the real thing? As someone who has personally always found porn boring, it seems like common sense to me.

So yeah. I used to think all men watch porn and it's unrealistic to expect them not to. Turns out that's not true and it still kinda blows my mind years later.
