A woman in Florida is said to have objectophila, a condition that makes her physically and emotionally attracted to inanimate objects instead of people. In an interview with Metro, she stated that she grew up being attracted to all sorts of objects, from GPS devices, iPods, treadmills etc.

After breaking up with Pierre, her calculator, her love for Tetris grew so strong that she intends to marry her copy once she graduates, with a proper ceremony and her family and friends in attendance.

It started when I would play this game called Smash Run and I would hear the Tetris theme and I thought it was nice. Every time I heard it I would want to play Tetris. All I did was play this game and kept thinking I want to play Tetris.

I think Tetris is so beautiful, he is about perfection and he stimulates your mind. Physically I get that feeling that people in relationships get – that you know they are the right one.

I love him so much and get an immense sense of satisfaction with him. I have a strong connection with him and have invested so much in him.

The full interview is available here.

I agree in the let her be part.

(but I don't think promoting this kind on behavior in kids is a good idea anyway, I mean it's not very mentally healthy, it would be hard for a person that marriages her cartridge to seek emotional support in the cartridge afterwards, it is not a human!... but well, who knows, Tetris will always be there for you anyway... I guess /s)

If she plays Snes tetris is she cheating on her husband?

In France the sale of tamagotchi has been banned, why?
Because the children were crying, was sad to see them starve to death or something, and I promise you, this phenomenon is serious, for a child who is growing, emotionally, psychologically, this is my poknt of sight

That statement says more about france than anything else. I have never seen a kid cry because of a tamagotchi dying. The fact french kids are means they are being brought up wrong or something.

Ask him, he's his father, he knows the truth.
(because he never made a living with his son tetris) royalties? Mdr..........

You deny the point, that a child emotionally records the same sadness after the loss of his dog? Or his tamagotchi? Because the child is not psychologically mature, it's easy to understand, isn't it?
Forbidden is a big word, in any case the government had looked into the benefits of tamagotchi, normal no? All children have them in recreation, in their beds etc.... The same thing happened with video games, and their so-called dangerousness, that's what it's like to be a free and democratic country, to talk about everything and anything.
Freedom of expression

What other country has had to ban tamagotchi? No wonder your country constantly roles over and surrenders.

I agree with this regarding a small child.
It is complicated, but I think it wouldn't be a good idea to give anything with a weird type of addictive-reward behavior to kids.
Not only tamagotchis, but also most smartphone games, specially social media.
I really believe that really fucks up their minds, in the respect of what they learn to believe is worthwhile.

Kids being posers trying to fit in was always a thing, that is not new. But social media makes it even worse, and children become trained slaves of the make-believe. For me, that is sad.

Spoiler: Surrender in france?

Submit? The French? The Gauls? Our French history is great, if you say that, it's because you knew nothing about it, 1789? French revolution, we cut off heads, and showed in the street tied at the end of a stake, fired the government, taken from the bastille, and so on...
We've always been revolutionary, it's in our blood, for generations, that's the truth.

Sarkwalvein
Thank you very much +1
Finally someone sensible, reasonable

 

[AmandaRose]

Sorry but banning a game achieves nothing the kids are still going to find something to emotionally attach to. It all comes down to better parenting and actually teaching your children the difference between make believe and real life.

 

[KHEOPS]

Yes amanda rose you're right here, but are all children equal in terms of emotions?
For some it will be easy to explain to them, and for other children to see outright impossible, otherwise what is the use of psychologists? Human psychology Science doctor?

( in 2018 we offer cures without video games or smartphone addiction, and we are talking about adults 30, or 40 years old) then for children of 4 or 6 years old? Good luck with that.

If your child is crying ( Emotion primitive ) , you have taken off his pacifier? Toys?( tetine in france), explain to him that he should not cry, that it is only a toy, and well good night and good courage for work tomorrow, without having slept all night

The tamagotchi plays on (complex emotions), much deeper, due to a long-term attachment (as a friend to him)
See you soon good video game to all

And yes I am happy that France protects the children of our country, no Chinese counterfeits of dangerous toys, physical or mental, the government is watching over this, and we pay taxes for it, that is the truth.
I don't think a Frenchman can tell you what's going on in your country....
The French press, which reported the suicide of an American !!!!! child after the death of his Tamagotchi, placed this danger in the realm of possibility. Here ( In France no death, because the government works here before it happens)

Spoiler: Etude tamagotchi fr to us

fears of parents and child specialists
Without a real reference universe, the identity of the Tamagotchi has been constituted mainly around a fundamental principle of life and death based on mechanical manipulations that the child must make on the instructions of the toy. It is this principle of play on which childhood specialists have focused. Several reasons for fear emerged around the themes of death and virtuality.

A number of professionals feared that the death of the virtual animal could be the source of trauma for the child who would have really attached himself to his animal ersatz. The French press, which reported the suicide of an American child after the death of his Tamagotchi, placed this danger in the realm of possibility.

For some specialists, the principle of the Tamagotchi game, which in fact confers a power of life or death on the animal, can cause feelings of guilt in the child, in case he imagines that the animal is "dead" because of his fault, because he has not taken good care of it. More generally, such a rejection of adults for this game is indicative of the unease they feel about seeing childhood and death associated: children do not have to play with death, even virtual death. The very function of resuscitation has appeared strange to some adults as it casts doubt on the reality of death. Reversing the most common criticism of Tamagotchi that the child could take their animal's virtual death seriously, they fear that this resuscitation function may lead children to consider death as a game.

Finally, the problem of the possible confusion between reality and the imagination among young people emerged, driven by the psychiatrists who expressed themselves. According to them, the risk of schizophrenic manifestations is low but real, since we are not, with Tamagotchi, in front of a real transitional object around which the child builds an imaginary universe. Not having as their function the transitional objects as an intermediary between inner and outer reality, they can encourage a "derealization" consisting in preferring to enter into a relationship with a virtual creature rather than with its fellow creatures, which is a way of denying bodily reality
