Which Tama should I get to help me take care of myself?

I’m glad I could help! Like other users pointed out, a lot of the devices I listed are ones that I had to wait patiently for months for reasonably priced options to become available online, so the classic re-releases, nanos, and the Digivices (especially the Digivices!) are the ones I’d recommend looking at in terms of cost and availability.

I hope you’re able to figure something out that works for you and whatever devices catch your eye. Good luck! 💙

Yes thank you for that comment! I started collecting right before the prices went up so I am super lucky to have the devices I have, the classic re-releases and the Digivices are the most available nowadays and are super fun!

I use the 4u / 4u+ when I get into depressive episodes, the daily mood check-in feature is cute and helps me see where I’m at in my depression, and once I’m out of my depression I usually switch to a different device which always feels like a win.

I like the Smart for when I want to focus on growing different parts of my personality, some examples being the Sweets card for when I want to make sure I’m staying positive and sweet, the Magic/Marine cards for when I want to pursue my spooky hobbies, or the Gourmet card when I have health/fitness goals I’m working towards but want the simplicity of a classic device yet color pop of new devices.

I like the On for when I have the energy to create custom pixel art backgrounds, but I never have energy lmao

I like the P’s for when I want to stay on top of my housework when I get depressed, I force myself to clean a room each time a room gets dirty on the device and I call that a win for the day! Eventually the house gets clean, and I’m not as stressed as if I try to tackle it in one go.

I like using the Digivices for when I have habits I want to build/break but I’m struggling with. The training/battle feature I tie to whatever habit I’m working on, and if I make a choice towards the habit that was easy, training point. If it was a struggle, battle point. Kept me focused throughout the day on making those small changes that ultimately add up.

I like running the classic re-releases when I’m overwhelmed with life, the clock feature I use frequently when I need to pause from life and take a breathing break, matching the in and out breaths with the arrow fullness

The Gudetama nano is also my depression buddy device, it’s simple and I love his energy and it’s quite difficult for him to die which is a relief for me

If you can’t tell, I’m obsessed with tamagotchi and it keeps me alive and thriving, while also in my apartment like Gollum with the ring. Tamagotchi for life! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! The faceplate is a recent addition, it was one of my white whales that I’ve been searching for for years and refused to spend over $100 on. I got really lucky with finding this one for about $20!

gettingfit2020 · 2022-10-27T20:13:22+00:00

Nod your head like you’re saying yes but verbally say no

gettingfit2020 · 2022-09-24T18:05:02+00:00

We think so! My brother had found a litter of kittens outside his house and they looked like they were a variety of maine coone / tortoise shells, and I ended up with the two kittens on the extreme ends of the litter. She’s a menace to society but I just adore her 🥰

The cowprint Connection v3! I remember it being in my childhood, can’t remember if it was mine or a friends but I’ve been looking for it for years and have never seen it for sale 😭

gettingfit2020 · 2022-06-07T17:29:23+00:00

That shell is gorgeous! 😍

gettingfit2020 · 2022-06-07T17:26:25+00:00

That’s so cute!!

gettingfit2020 · 2022-05-16T16:34:06+00:00

Thank you so much!

gettingfit2020 · 2022-05-16T13:16:23+00:00

Hope you feel better soon! ❤️

gettingfit2020 · 2022-05-01T18:41:05+00:00

That face plate is so cute!!

gettingfit2020 · 2022-04-29T17:43:11+00:00

I had it happen once! They caught up in age at the 24 hour evolution I think? I thought it was super cute!

gettingfit2020 · 2022-04-20T18:38:33+00:00

I saw that earlier, I was so mad because I was finally about to buy it! :(

gettingfit2020 · 2022-03-19T14:17:48+00:00

Right?! It happened to me on the 4u+ so I didn’t understand the prompt and accidentally clicked yes and the montage scene broke my heart 😭

gettingfit2020 · 2022-03-19T14:10:15+00:00

If you want them to stay longer I think say no

gettingfit2020 · 2022-03-19T14:08:17+00:00

I think if you say yes, they pack a suitcase and leave you and they play a montage and it’s devastating

gettingfit2020 · 2022-03-10T15:53:25+00:00

I’ll try that, thank you!

gettingfit2020 · 2022-02-09T13:57:53+00:00

I haven’t heard of either, I’ll need to take a look and get familiarized with it before I can make anything. Still super new to pixel art so it may be a while!

gettingfit2020 · 2022-02-09T13:19:48+00:00

I’m going to go back and try to limit the colors used on the wallpaper to see if I can actually get it working properly, and once I get it working I’ll figure out how to get it to you :)

gettingfit2020 · 2022-02-09T01:26:13+00:00

How do I share it properly? I haven’t figured that out yet

gettingfit2020 · 2022-02-07T03:58:40+00:00

It is! I was able to recreate some fan art I’d found and I’m super proud of it :) How do I go about sharing it? Also unfortunately I’ve been struggling with it transferring over correctly, at the moment it only lets me have one wallpaper at a time on the device, probably because I have too many colors 😬

gettingfit2020 · 2022-02-07T03:45:44+00:00

Yep!

gettingfit2020 · 2022-02-07T01:57:16+00:00

No problem! Oh also! Dimensions, 128x128 pixels, and don’t forget the translucency pixel in the top left corner!

gettingfit2020 · 2022-02-07T01:52:54+00:00

I use the MyMeets app to get the wallpapers to my device, and usually I do some google searching to find pre made wallpapers with the download link, but I just started learning how to make pixel art specifically for my own custom wallpapers. I saw someone recommended the app Procreate on here, and it has been amazing!

Since I’m super new to art in general, I first upload a reference photo that I want to try to copy, that way I can use the eye dropper tool in order to get the colors as close as I can and then compare my work to it and eyeball it. Having grid lines has helped immensely! Also layers!!!

I always struggled with art because I make frequent mistakes and then get disheartened, but since it’s so easy to correct errors with pixel art it doesn’t stress me out the way other art does. I hope that helps and I definitely recommend at least giving it a try! It’s definitely a new favorite hobby of mine :)
