  1. I bought one at Target as a nostalgic adult and played with it for maybe a day. Wasn’t nearly as fun as I remembered and they totally changed the features. Kept it as a keychain for a bit then donated it.

............. Define fed because I am 96% sure the battery is dead and the other 4% is the battery leaked.

Convenient excuses. Think about that starving little thing. You did this.

[–] bazzett@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I think the last time was in 2009. I still have it, and I often say "I'm gonna buy you new batteries, pal", but I always forget to do so.

Like an hour ago.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

I never had one. The were around when I was around, but I never had any interest in them.

I had the star wars versions. don't think feeding was part of it but yoda is likely mad about my lack of discipline and practice.

I don't know what I did with him or r2.

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

I never had one.

[–] wirelesswire@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

I had one in the late 90s, so sometime around then.

If you pull the battery to prevent corrosion was that euthanasia of your Tamagotchi?
