In the year 2018, as the world seemd to regularly get more Hellworld on a daily basis, I decided to buy a Tamagotchi. I can admit that I decided to do it long before then, particularly in 2017, when this article showed up on the Ringer, but in 2018 I finally did it. Maybe I was pushed to this by the feelings of Hellworld closing in. Maybe I was pushed to it because they released a remake of the second generation ones in the US, and one of them was a rainbow, another a galaxy. I can’t fully explain it, but it happened, and here we are.
