    Are you saying we could have hooked a keyboard and TV to a tamagachi, and used it as a text editor?

    I’m not sure why I’d want to do that…but now I want to do that.

      Not literally a tamagachi, but if you want to go down the super niche rabbit hole that’ll include interfacing a TV and keyboard to a 6502 processor, there’s a guy named Ben Eater who does a great job covering that stuff. eater.net or search his name on YouTube.

      Like is it capable of that sure, could you actually do that with a modern tamagotchi, probably not.

        I mean you could technically do it with any microprocessor if you’ve got enough time and patience, though in a lot of cases you’d need to essentially build a whole computer around it.

      you’d have to graft on a lot of IO that doesn’t exist but probably. good project to show off on hackaday.

        When I saw this reply, I thought you were talking about my post morphing into Macho Man Randy Savage as a dragon, just to stop a usa public shooting by throwing the shooter into the sun, and engulphing the entire universe in flames…thus killing all of existance.
