Call it a Tamemoji. It gets its own column on your profile page complete with its stats. It evolves digi-like across emojis sharing keywords. Not sure how we’d tier them though.

    Real talk, I miss virtual pet games (the microtransaction treadmill ones on phones don’t count) and want to see how lifelike a modern one could be if given a heavy focus on AI (not the kind of AI that takes an entire data center to run).

    Bring back the fucking Chao Garden, Sonic Team.

      No kidding, as a child, I printed out a full 43 page guide on rearing Chaos, it was the bomb. Just a focused and fleshed version of that as a game would be rad.

      I’m playing with the Digimon Vital Bracelet and imagining all the ways I’d improve it. It’s really close to being amazing but Bandai refuses to make something too good because they’d rather release slight improvements repeatedly.
