Get the Tamagotchied mug.Tamagotchied (verb, slang):
To find yourself in a relationship that exists almost entirely in the virtual world—through video calls, texts, and online interactions—where one partner treats the other like a digital companion. The connection may feel constant and intimate online, but any attempt to bring the relationship into the physical, real-world space is rejected. The partner essentially keeps you as their “virtual boyfriend/girlfriend,” similar to how one cares for a Tamagotchi: always present on-screen, but never truly real.

Get the tamagotchi mug.A virtual pet simulator of an alien lifeform that crash landed on earth in eggs. They genetically mutate into different creatures depending on how well, you fed it, happy you kept it and how clean you kept it. Along with disciplining and praising when it does things wrong then right. After awhile they get to old and die, you then start off with a new pet.
