Tamarindotchi
I've heard of these things since I was a baby, but they never interested me, so there's no "I got inspired by" or "I loved this as a kid" today lol
The thing is that I drew this back in 2021 because I saw the Tamagotchi Video Advetures on YouTube, and I liked the crayon-like style they had there, and the simple design of these characters was pretty cool to me. I don't know much about this franchise, but I'm aware that Mametchi is like the main one in the series, and, at least in this american version it was just another character (and apparently it was a girl), the common early weirdness of franchises lel
Anyway, this version was pretty nice to me, and hard to not draw the characters hehe

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: Released in 1997 for the PlayStation, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a landmark title in the action-adventure and platforming genres with a brooding, vampiric edge. Players step into the role of Alucard, the son of Dracula, as they explore the labyrinthine setting of Dracula's castle. This game is celebrated for its innovative Metroidvania design, combining non-linear exploration, RPG elements, and intricate level design; additionally, as Alucard gains new abilities and equipment, players can access previously unreachable areas for added replayability. Though the game initially sold poorly, it gradually gained sales through word-of-mouth and became a sleeper hit, developing a cult following and selling over 900,000 units in the U.S. and Japan. The game has since garnered widespread acclaim, cited by critics as one of the best video games of the decade. The game's atmospheric gothic design and haunting soundtrack, alongside the storyline and multiple endings, endears the game to fans and has influenced countless titles since its release.
Tamagotchi: Hold up, I gotta feed my Tamagotchi. Tamagotchis were the leading name in digital pets that came to us in 1997, and rapidly gained immense popularity among kids and young adults. Invented by Bandai, Tamagotchis are perfectly pocket-sized egg-shaped toys with a simple LCD screen where players raise and care for a virtual critter. Users are responsible for feeding, playing with, and nurturing their Tamagotchi, ensuring it stays healthy and happy; the pet evolves through various life stages, and neglect or mistreatment can lead to its tragic demise. The charm of Tamagotchis lies in their portability and the borderline alarming emotional attachment users develop with their byte-size babies. They were the start of a cultural phenomenon in 90s and early 2000s toys, sparking a trend of virtual pet-raising games.

‼️jort 2 update because its been nearly 2 weeks and hes been through a lot‼️
Tumblr media
kinda annoyingly long so its under the cut
ok so jort 2 was doing fine till i had loads of art hw for gcse (help) and so i did that and ignored all of jort 2's cries for help. then after that to reward myself for finishing like one (1) evaluation bc i wasnt feeling motivated i played slime rancher for 2-3 hours maybe (side rant i love my slimes theyre so silly<333 my favourites are the honey and plant ones because when they merge theyre so pretty<33 i also love phosphor slimes and i need to make a lantern of them for my room or something because i should start a shrine)
anyway.
so jort 2 was sick and i didnt cure him in time and he started beeping like the heart rate monitors do as someones heart is slowing which i feel is a little morbid but he died. i think i apologised on my last post in the notes
the caption aged badly but yeah
so i needed name ideas and luckily his death presented the perfect opportunity as @moon-inspector suggested jelly so thank you<3
then i lost the tamagotchi.
id taken him out when i went in town with my friends a couple of times and i thought he might have fallen out of my tote bag next to a bench and i was really upset because he was £20 and also he was really cool (and also i lost something and was about to cry but fear of crying in public saved me🔥🔥🔥🔥) so i was sad :c
then me and my family went to the countryside and i got to do hiking which is super epic and i touched so much grass and lo and behold who was in my coat pocket but jort 2 himself (technically his corpse) but i found him yay
then my friend taught me how to mute him because one time he woke me up at night and while trying to do that i accidentally hatched one but because i wasnt intending to he kinda died (that wasnt jelly tho that was jort 2.5 because i want to give jelly a long and fulfilling life)
so that concludes the adventures of jort in the past 2 weeks ish where i forgot/ couldnt be bothered to update bc i had other things to do (watching youtube videos)
ill probably hatch jelly like tomorrow

Game Spotlight #3: Digimon World (1999)
Tumblr media
Today is a special day and as such it is is only fitting that today marks the first Acquired Stardust Game Spotlight brought to you by me, Larsa. What makes today special? Well that’s because it’s August 1st, better known to many fans around the world as "Odaiba Memorial" or more simply "Odaiba Day", a day which marks the 24th anniversary of the chosen children, the “Digidestined”, who first made their way into the digital world. No matter when you became a fan of Digimon this date holds a deep meaning to all of us in the Digimon fandom for being the day that the original chosen children started their journey. 
Tumblr media
                                                  “ ! “
This is a universal day we in the fandom celebrate the world over and it is an eventful day like this that puts on full display how caring the Digimon fanbase is of the series. Whether you can visit the man made island of Odaiba in person on this day or you are browsing through your social media apps embracing the meme this is our day fellow "Digi-fans".  Digimon is the franchise that kick-started my imagination and truly meant the most to me growing up as a child back in 1999 when "Digimon Adventure" first aired on Fox in North America. It is no exaggeration to say years in my childhood that Digimon was very much my life. It was what I most often thought about when I would daydream at school, or soccer practice. I would even find the spare time as a child to desecrate an innocent sheet of paper with my personal crudely drawn original Digimon. ( We all did this am I right? )   As a way to make me happy with my childhood obsession the first home console game that my older brothers bought me was Digimon World for the original Playstation. The game blew my mind with how large it felt at the time and as a result was what largely consumed my summer vacation that year. I happily say that this game has been an absolute adventure to revisit to this day~!
Tumblr media
                                “ This was innovative at the time! “
Digimon, shorthand for " Digital Monsters ", started as a virtual pet toy created by WiZ and Bandai in the year 1997 as the more "masculine" companion to big sister toyline " Tamagotchi ". These new Digital Monsters weren't just adorable pets wanting for you to take care of them they were born fighters and you the player would tame these creatures from birth to battle other players of the game through connecting devices. It turns out many children did become tamers because the Digimon v-pet toy was an instant hit selling many toys right away. Immediately after the launch of the original toy-line it was clear that Bandai was very confident that they could shape Digimon into a successful multimedia franchise. The Digimon toyline was quickly followed up with a more expanded toyline, magazines, manga, trading card game, and several video game projects - the first notable home console video game release being "Digital Monster Ver. S" for the Sega Saturn in Japan.  The first globally released Digimon video game would be "Digimon World" for the Playstation console and this game was developed alongside it's own sequel "Digimon World 2" in an ambitious project by Bandai to ensure in their minds global domination. 
Tumblr media
“ Digimon World “ was originally was released on January 28th in the year 1999 in Japan to a successful launch.  The following year it would be first released in May to North America(NTSC) and shortly afterward in July to European(PAL) regions. Both of these version would both go onto be big selling hits on the console earning the Playstation's "Greatest Hits" label in North America and likewise "Platinum" status in Europe because quite frankly Digimon was that big of a deal already. By the year 2000, it was clear outside of Japan that Digimon would not just go down as another another contender to Pokemon’s reign. The Digimon series had become a champion in it's own right establishing itself as a rival even for Pokemon at the time. Digimon World was the first Digimon video game most of the world experienced. So the question is after all this time how does the game hold up 24 years later? Was it worth the hype in a crowded platform like the Playstation?
                      “ Sidenote: They were pushing the original Digimon TCG  “     
Tumblr media
                                  “Welcome to The Digital World “
Tumblr media
 The Digital World is a vast and mysterious place that exists both within our world and outside of it. You insert the Digimon World disc then go through the Playstation start up sequence where you are greeted by that haunting yet relaxing boot up sound of the console. After a brief load time you are shown in wonderfully aged FMV from a typical afternoon of the year 1999 in Japan complete with children battling virtually through the Digimon V-Pet toys. Before long the battle between the two players go from toy to imagination in our main character's head, daydreaming of the fight between two Ultimate level Digimon: the proud MetalMamemon and the imposing MetalGreymon. After the cut-scene you hit start to officially start your own journey to the digital world albeit an unintentional one for our avatar as they are forcefully whisked away into the Digital World itself through their own V-Pet toy.
                                      “ MetalMamemon wants to fight! “
Once the scene finishes playing then you are confronted by Jijimon, an elderly wise Digimon who asks the players some background questions which determine your starter Digimon. You see depending on the answers you gave Jijimon you will receive Agumon or Gabumon as a companion both Digimon whose potential take different shapes. After being introduced to your partner you are then given reason for why you were brought here to the Digital World: it turns out maybe you really do just love Digimon so much that it made you a chosen child yourself? At any rate you the player are tasked by Jijimon with the serious task of rebuilding " File City ", a village where Digimon used to live in peace with one another until recent times where the formerly peace loving Digimon fled the city after having forgotten their own past. As you guide each new Digimon back to the city you may uncover the truth behind the current ongoing mystery of File Island.  Those who re-join the new File City  will offer something helpful to the city whether it to run a Bank, Item Shop, Clinic, or much more.  Ideally you will help the village grow from its humble roots to a true city but it won’t be easy, tamer.
Tumblr media
                           “ Becoming Garurumon is gonna be tough... “      
Tumblr media
                        The game truly begins now as you are set on a journey to explore File Island, a wondrous land of mystery with many different ecosystems filled with many diverse Digimon and just as many wires emerging from the soil unlike anything you may have seen before anywhere else. And now with this journey comes responsibility - while your primary goal for being here may be to help File Island at large your more immediate task is to care for and raise your Digimon properly. It is up to you the player to decide how you raise your digital partner as each day passes by in a linear manner through morning, day, dusk, and dawn cycles. It is at this point you can immediately with courage choose to venture outside the city into the unknown or spend some time building the combat stats of your Digimon partner at The Green Gym section of File City. At the gym you can put your Digimon through a variety of training tasks which is typically focused on increasing one stat at a time primarily. These stats are known in the game as HP which effects how much damage they can take before fainting. MP which determines the amount of points how many combat techniques your partner can use in a battle. Off(ense) which is the stat the game uses to figure out how hard a Digimon hits another. Def(ense) which works as the opposite, this stat determines how much damage a Digimon takes from being hit in which the higher def means less taken away from HP. SPD which determines how often a Digimon attacks with a technique (this caps at 300 SPD), how often a Digimon guards against an opponent's technique, and how fast your Digimon's Finishing Move charges through their own actions. And last but not least is Wis(dom!) which can give your Digimon the ability to listen to more commands in battle. Each training session causes an hour to pass by in the digital world but this is time well spent because these stats are the key to success in combat.
                                     “ Yup, it really won’t be easy. “               
If you raise your Rookie-rank Digimon improperly they will eventually become a rather weak Champion-level creature known as "Numemon" hardly fitting for the moniker at first glance. However if you raise them well they can become something greater through digivolution and every Digimon has multiple evolutionary branches which are driven conditionally by how you raise the Digimon whether it be through hitting stat thresholds, battles, the amount (or lack of) care mistakes, techniques learned, or even body weight.  The game even has additional secret methods of reaching digivolutions that may surprise a player the first time playing and even longtime players who have yet to experience everything the game has to offer in their time with it. You may not always get what you want through Digivolution without proper planning so keep that in mind.
           Outside the city you may run into hostile Digimon that can quickly become challenging for your partner had they not been prepared properly for the dangers of the wild. Once in combat you have to leave the battling to your Digimon partner as you stand on the sidelines making commands or supporting them with various healing items. It is at this early point you learn that you cannot directly control what your partner does in battle you can only offer them orders to influence their behavior in a battle system akin to something known as an "auto-battler" today. Your partner when they achieve victory can learn techniques from their foes, obtain items, and Bits (currency). On the other hand your partner can fall in battle and for each time they fall in battle they will lose a heart which will result in them passing away upon losing three hearts. Between any battles that can occur your digital partner needs food, they need to use the bathroom, and your digital partner needs rest. Every time your Digimon uses the bathroom outside of a stall or porta-potty it will result in a "Care Mistake"  which the game will remember for that Digimon's lifespan through an in game counter. 
Tumblr media
                       “ Forget it. This dino is more cuddly than any wolf. “
Tumblr media
  I mentioned lifespan earlier, right? Well every partner Digimon generally needs to be cared for with love before unavoidably they pass away sooner or later. And when that time comes Jijimon will be there to reincarnate your partner Digimon into a Digi-Egg where they start life all over again. Due to the nature of this game you form a bond with your Digimon that you may not find yourself having with other similar monster raising video games such as Pokemon. The time you have with your Digimon in the Digital World is fleeting and it's quite sad. As a tamer it is with love inside of your heart that you must juggle that fleeting time between making your buddy stronger and spending their same limited time saving the Digimon outside the city alongside the player. There is a real somber feeling when you know your Digimon might be on your last day as you run a frozen tundra for the final time at night knowing it might be their last one with you. Everyone who has played this game enough understands that heavy feeling and it is that feeling which drives you to do better for your next partner.
                              “  This land is labeled correctly. “
This game world has its own logic and rules that are rewarding to learn to get past the harsh difficulty curves.  And now with that being said it is this same "gameplay loop" which I laid out in detail leading up to this which would often overwhelm me as a child. Many times I would aim for my Agumon to become the mighty Greymon only to get another alternate digivolution like Monochromon instead of the one which I planned for. This would happen to younger me even with the official Brady Strategy Guide by my side because a guide can only help you through so much - this was a game you had to experience and learn yourself back in the day to get the most out of it.
Tumblr media
                                  “ Time flows differently here! “
The Digital World in this game is all about discovery. Often you may have no idea what to do next exactly if you are playing the game blind though with enough discovery you will figure it out.  You may find that next Digimon you need to bring back to File Island in a place you never thought to check. You may even find a random item on screen you have walked by hundreds of time without ever having seen before that hundredth visit. Digimon World balances elements of a pet-simulator, and maybe more impressively a world that feels like it is really one of a kind.  The environments in this game are beautiful, populated with all kinds of digital critters, and accompanied by often fitting ambient sounds which fit the atmosphere the game presents to us.  There is nothing quite like walking through File City at nighttime with your Digimon partner as that lovely song plays away in the background. Composers Koji Yamada and Yuko Ishii outdid themselves with this game’s score, most songs being geared to the environment at hand and some others geared towards pulse pounding combat as your partner is locked in a fight for survival. For example the musical themes of Factorial Town feels daunting and mechanical in nature.  We now live in an era full of "open world" video games everywhere and yet sometimes Digital World feels more alive to me than even some modern AAA offerings. It says a lot about a game’s quality when it can stick with someone positively years later.
Tumblr media
                                      “ Make the right choice. “
Speaking of the way the game looks all together it is a pretty nice looking game for the Playstation. It is the first time that the original Digimon which famed Digimon designer Kenji Watanabe created were being presented in a 3D environment within a video game. These 3D models are a huge leap in technology over the V-Pet sprites and these over several dozen designs really shined in this iteration of The Digital World. Often the monsters in this series are known for looking "cool" such as Leomon so it is worth mentioning even the cuter designs like Monzaemon look absolutely adorable in this game. The graphics, soundtrack, and presentation of this game are pretty strong in my opinion.        
Tumblr media
              “ This chart helps you raise every kind of Digimon available! ”
 I truly appreciate this game even more today then I did in the year 2000 when I played it for the very first time and there is so much more that I could muse over with this game. Now with all this being said there are many bugs and glitches in this game so be warned this gemstone can be rough around the edges.   Overall I will cut myself short to say proudly that this game stands up to the test of time and the influence of this game is felt to this day. Worth mentioning that "Digimon World: Next Order" serves as a true sequel to this beloved PlayStation title and yet as good as it may be the new title does not replace the original game. I'm urging anybody who has not played this game yet to seek it out and give it a chance. Better yet find the Digimon World Randomizer created by the game's devout community which adds many features and fixes nearly every game bug, all things in service of making the experience even better. There is even chatter from the current producer of Digimon video games that we can expect either a remaster or remake of this beloved title someday. Which makes sense considering Digimon is even more popular globally than ever now. No matter how you experience this game it is worth playing for any Digimon fan even just one time. 
Digimon World is an incredible adventure worthy of being called stardust.

I found a torrent for "Let's Go Tamagotchi" subbed. It took forever since nobody was seeding it but it downloaded last night. I feel dumb now because I found the whole thing on youtube dubbed, but I prefer having the sub anyway.
It wasn't much, just 12 episodes that were only 2-3 minutes long. But they were all cute and fleshed out the characters beyond my limited familiarity with them. But ah, this just makes me wish the full anime series had a sub even more.
I've been a Tamagotchi fan since the series was born but because I took a hiatus from the franchise after the AngelGotch until 2020, and even then I stuck mostly with the vintage era stuff until more recently, I feel like i'm deeply lacking in knowledge about this franchise. It's like being a pokemon fan who only played gen 1 getting back into the series in 2020, but you come to find out half the releases were japan only and the anime stopped getting localized half way through the indigo league, and nobody has made a fan translation for anything. Can you imagine that timeline?
I'm not used to this feeling of being a veteran but knowing almost nothing about one of my interests. I have been a fna of most of my interests for decades, and the ones I'm not as much of a longtime fan of, I can at least go back and find a way to check out what I missed, and there's usually fan translations. Not Tamagotchi. There's no virtual pet emulators, there's no fan subs, everything is expensive. Digimon fans like to complain about bandai not localizing games and their v-pets being bandai exclusive, and that's valid, but at least they have fans dedicated enough make fan translations for unlocalized games and every anime has a sub. Most of the important v-pets got remakes, better remakes than the Tamagotchi 2017 version that's for sure.
idk this is a long stupid pointless rant, I know there's probably not really that much to know about Tamagotchi characters. I just got a weird feeling from reading this fan comic and watching someone do lets plays of the video games that there was so much I missed out on because of my stupidly falling for a stigma against playing with "girl toys" , these funny creatures could have been filling a void left by a certain other franchise that I haven't loved since 2014. A franchise that, ironically, I only got interested in because I thought it was going to be like a Tamagotchi but with adventure elements.

Virtual Pet
Second week of my Video Game Genre Guides!
Tumblr media
Logo by my friend Virtual Pets! Sometimes called Digital or Artificial Pets! These games are designed to be a fun, typically advertised towards a younger audience, simulation of owning a pet or animal. Much of the gameplay involves feeding, caring for, and even playing with your pet. The genre can also be seen in some side modes of games, such as the Chao garden in the Sonic Adventure games. Here’s what the genre would look like on a Genre Tree!
Tumblr media
In terms of top level genres, this is strictly under simulation games, which is a broad, and quite nerdy, genre of games that aim to simulate systems and other real world interactions. Virtual Pet games don't combine any genres, they're just a more specific form of Life Sim games. Here’s 5 Virtual Pets (in no particular order) to check out, including how I would categorize, or “tag”, them in pink!
Tumblr media
Virtual Pet // Minigame Collection, Arcade Number 1 is Pou! Yes I'm totally using this game as an example because it's dumb and has a stupid name. Pou is a popular Virtual Pet game for mobile devices about taking care of a pet "Alien". The game is quite weird and features a collection of minigames of different genres to play with your pou.
Tumblr media
Virtual Pet Number 2 is Tamagotchi! One of the earliest examples of the genre, and a very basic typical example. These games were made as their own handheld device, basically like a little key chain pet to take care of. Very basic but cute bite sized feeding and playing with your pet.
Tumblr media
Virtual Pet // Games Collection, MMOSG Number 3 is Neopets! A very popular online website game, Neopets took the trend of Virtual Pets including minigames to the next level, having entire pretty much full games within the game used to earn coins to spend on your pet. Additionally the site featured some MMO social features to create a community around it.
Tumblr media
Virtual Pet, MMOSG // Minigame Collection, Toys-To-Life Number 4 is Webkinz! An MMO Social Game and a Virtual Pet game at the same time. In this game you could take care of your pet but at the same time you could walk around as your pet and interact with other players as them. Additionally, this is a very early example of the "Toys-To-Life" concept, where buying a real toy or figure, or in this case plushie, would give you that toy in the game and let you play with or as them.

Virtual Pet Number 5 is Nintendogs + Cats! What might have been my own personal first Virtual Pet, these games might also be the cutest in the genre with their more realistic designs of cute animals. This game was advertised as a realistic alternative to pets, which is funny because I played it when I already had pets of my own as a kid. Regardless, taking care of and playing with these cute fuzzy dogs and cats was very fun! That concludes my second Video Game Genres Guide! Thank you for reading!

Tarakotchi + Kuchipatchi Crayon Art
I decided to watch Tamagotchi Video Adventures (1997) and do the Tarakotchi art tutorial at the end. Then I took a shot at drawing Kuchipatchi. Both took multiple attempts, but I finally drew versions I’m happy with! The official art in the 90s looked colored in as well, so these drawings make me feel nostalgic.

Uhhhhhh not many people know what chao garden is (sonic adventure 2) so they don't wanna hear me talk about it but I've really wanted to tell someone about the Chao I'm raising.
Basically a chao is a little creature you take care of and depending on many factors they will become a normal, evil, or hero chao. After a long time they will either turn back into an egg and reincarnate or they will turn into a gray egg and die (this happens if you abuse them too much)
Anyway about my chao!
Animal Cracker is a evil run/normal type with no legs or mouth for some reson, they also have cheeta ears, arms, and tail.
They can not swim but they keep trying to,,,,  the next time they reincarnate I'll make them a swim type so they stop jumping into the pool and freaking out bc they can't swim.
Sea salt is a evil swim/fly type that has Phoenix wings and head fethers, he also has unicorn arms,tail, and feet.
I really wanna make sea salt into a devil chao which is quite a hard thing to do,,,, you gotta give your chao at least 1 of every animal in one life, all their stats must be balanced (10swim,10run levels for example), and there is a hidden happyness stat for how happy your chao is with you, this stat must be over 50.
Sorry for the wall of text but I've really wanted to tell someone about my chaos for a long time,, I pamper them quite a bit.
Aw dont apologize a wall of text is pretty much what i asked for! That sounds really cool and I love the way the chao are so customizable and detailed! It kind of reminds me of tamagotchi, raising little video game creatures from eggs is always fun. But it also reminds me of pokemon with the types.
I hope you're able to get sea salt into a devil chao! And if you ever wanna ramble more about this you're always free to, I'd love to listen.
