Tama Additions

19 Jun 2025

Yet again a big update to my tama collection. Found okay deals on several Connection V4.5’s and jumped on a deam shell Uratama.

Split white/blue shell. White screen border. Contrasting wave motif surrounding screen. Pink/white 'Guts Swimming' label.
Guts Swimming

I purchased "Guts Swimming" with "Guts Summer". It took this long to arrive! The inside of the shell was grimy and the A button stuck. After a light cleaning it's operating much better.

Purple shell. Pink screen border, buttons, antenna star. Pink/purple/blue/white swirls surrounding screen. 'Tamagotchi Connection' on purple background.
Girls Rock

I love the colors on the "Girls Rock" shell. Enough said.

Purple shell and screen border. Bright green buttons and antenna star. Light purple/green/blue puzzle pieces surrounding screen. 'Tamagotchi Connection' on light purple background.
Puzzle Pieces

This was a bit of an impulse buy, but I was able to talk the seller down a bit from their asking price. The listing described the charms as a "bee" and "green monster".

Light green shell. Dark green screen border. Brown buttons and antenna star. Light green/black swirls surrounding screen. 'Tamagotchi Connection' on brown background.
Tribal Tattoo

This was a fun find! I was surprised to see it sent from Fort Meade. I call this my "NSA" tama.

White shell. Yellow screen border. Light purple buttons. Pink antenna star. Red stripes, orange/pink flags, balls, and characters surrounding screen. Red stripes on bottom.
Ura Circus

This is one of my favorite uratama shells. The colors and shapes are incredible!

Big Site Changes

19 Jun 2025

I have been very busy refactoring this site to be disability- and mobile-friendly. Checkout the accessibility section on the “About” page.

My offline job centers around accessibility for all means and abilities. I didn’t want this space to be a barrier to the people and communities I work with every day. Their access matters.

There are features I haven’t implemented yet but it’s been A LOT of work, and I feel like this is a good rest point for me.

I’ve been neglecting my other projects, namely my goal of knitting one sweater for each person in my family (4 total) before Christmas. Summer break is my chance to do it, so I’m hoping to tackle that next, while posting updates on tama runs as they happen. I plan to pick up the accessibility to-do list in the fall.

Tama Additions

05 Jun 2025

I’ve acquired several new Tamagotchis.

Split white/green shell. White screen border. Contrasting grass/clouds motif surrounding shell. Orange/white 'Guts Summer' label.
Guts Summer

Guts Summer was difficult to find, but I managed it! I want to run this is the tama (along with Guts Swimming, currently en route) over summer break.

Bright yellow shell. Yellow green screen border. Bright green buttons and antenna cap. Bright yellow 'TMGC' label on bright green background.
Lemon Yellow

I was drawn to the bright yellow and TMGC logo on the Lemon Yellow shell. It reminds me of my old-school Neopets username, too. Very nostalgic.

Shiny purple shell and screen border. Bright purple buttons. 'Tamagotchi Connection' label on dark blue background.
Pearl Purple

Pearl Purple was an impulse buy. Purple being my favorite color, and being a shiny shell, I vibed with it. I made a lowball offer and the seller accepted!

Black screen border. Yellow buttons. Yellow/orange/light blue comic book cells featuring Pochitchi character. White 'Tamagotchi' label.
Pochitchi Comic

Pochitchi Comic completes the Oritama comic book shells (not including special editions). Yay!
