Guess what I got! :D

I’ve wanted one of these for a while now but then went on a bit of a tama break and suddenly the prices on eBay went wild. BUT! I found a private seller who had kept this baby in excellent condition - not sure he touched it at all since originally buying it, except to remove the batteries - and he was willing to let go of it for a pretty reasonable price :3

ANYWAY

WOW

People sure weren’t exaggerating with how needy the Ocean is, huh. The hearts empty fast and the time window you have to scare away the bear is tiny af.

So far I’ve always had it close to me and kept checking the stats every ten or so minutes, and whenever I couldn’t do this bc of a zoom meeting or a bathroom break or bc I was in the kitchen to make smth to eat I paused it.

The polar bear still got to it once and I think it got sick twice or so aside from that as well. I’m keeping snacks to a minimum, the Hungry hearts at 3-4 and the Happy hearts at 2-4. And the water clean, too, obviously.

And I’m proud to report that through all that hard work I managed to get it to the child stage.

If I didn’t have to pause it bc of an attention-consuming work project in the upcoming days it would’ve probably grown up later today but alas. Guess I’ll have to wait a little longer to see that happening.

Oh, btw, I’m not aiming for a particular adult on my first run. I really just want to make it to the adult stage at all XDD
