I bought a virtual pet — and it has made me so much more productive during quarantine

) includes new games to play with your pet — and updated designs. These were more than I wanted to spend — and I was determined to get as close to the original version as possible without paying vintage prices . So I placed a bid on a 20th Anniversary series Tamagotchi — a smaller version of the original, for $7 — and I won.

Winning this Tamagotchi was the most exciting thing to happen to me in months, so I quickly spread the word to family and friendsOverall, reception was positive. Friends sent words of encouragement regarding my ability to keep my Tamagotchi alive for longer than I had when I was a 10-year-old, and we all took some time to reminisce about our childhood experiences with virtual pets.

When I told my mom, her response was, "You're getting one because Eric has one, aren't you?" That really made me feel like a kid again, because she was absolutely correct — I wanted the same toy because my cousin had it. I set my Tamagotchi to the current time of day, which would inform its sleep schedule moving forward. Then, I waited for it to hatch, which was just as thrilling as I remember it being when I was younger.

My Tamagotchi woke me up at 8 a.m. the following morning — it needed to be fed. Unlike my cat, who I could ignore for an hour or so before she'd start knocking things over to get my attention, not feeding my Tamagotchi promptly meant risking its death, so I got up, fed all three of us, and started my day.Stretch break with my Tamagotchi.Approximately every hour, my Tamagotchi needs something.

It's also worth stating the obvious: Tamagotchi is essentially another screen to stare at — something I'm already doing too much these days. But if you need a distraction from coronavirus anxiety, I'd say it's the perfect tool. TheDaniellePage
