June 19th, 2021 5:03PM EST~DLC watch nightmares

I restrained myself from starting this overdue update with just one long paragraph of "ughhhh". Starting with good news, because if I dont I might just devolve into groans, my Digimon PenZ has been fucking incredible! I love it, I've been working on unlocking every 'mon on it over these last few months, and I'm just about done with that.
I also got my Acomm in the mail, which is a whole other cool thing I found out about in the time between my updates.

Basically, theres this beautiful fan made application so that digimon fans can connect and battle eachother via phone or computer, using these neato lil connectors ALSO made by fans! They even have instructions on how to make your own on their website!!! ITS RAD! Please go check them out HERE!
So I've spent the last few months working and unlocking mons, as well as raising my 20th anniversary tama, but I DID preorder the two versions of the newly localized Digimon X!
Specifically the ones with the wacky fuckin' shell colors >w>;;



I'm slowly leaning more towards the digimon than tamagotchi, mostly because theres so much more to do now with my Acomm.



Now I will get into the bad news, or at least why im ughhh...
IDK if I've mentioned the Digimon Vital Bracelet on one of these updates yet, but I am now, because I am SO upset with it. I absolutely hate the business model of releasing a $60-$70 glorified stepcounter, and then forcing people to buy physical little DLC cards to unlock the other digimon on the device. And now their doing it with Tamagotchi!

What the fuuuuuck!



The new Tama characters on this look so cute, and I'm so angry that so many of them are going to be paid DLC that will undoubtedly be difficult to get my hands on. I also weirdly love the idea of having a tamagotchi themed watch in the first place, which Isn't something I thought I would say but here we are!
Anyway, basically I might cave and buy one of these but I'm also radically against this product and those like it and I hope they stop doin this sort of thing soon!! Basically!
Gonna try to update here more but like, we know how that goes
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
