Interesting Tamagoshi story.

I didn't realize how addictive the "keep them alive" narrative was.

No wonder streaks work so well nowadays.

There is a lot to learn from the past.

Personal story, but depending on when you last fed your pet, a teacher punitively confiscating your Tamagotchi until the end of the school day could mean the difference between life and death for the poor creature.
