With a twist of pixels on the screen of a mobile phone, a corner of real life may be a young man interwoven with a cry of frustration, unwillingness, and anger:
Why haven’t you hit it again?
If you don’t see it with your own eyes, you may hardly believe that today, with the development of imaging technology in full swing, There will beAdults investing in these “pets” built by pixel particles Such a strong sense of truth.
This is a small program called “Electronic Pet Battle” by Tencent’s studio. With the help of the fission-like spread of the circle of friends, it once detonated the entire social network in this children’s day just past.
PK, feeding, and goodwill, in addition to the general gameplay you can imagine, the most interesting thing is that it accurately restores the unique interactive elements of the first generation of electronic pets such as “shoveling shit”.
Same as the literal meaning, the realization of this element on electronic devices is also quite nonsensical:
With a satisfying emoji after feeding, the next second, Yi Tuo is also composed of pixels, and the steaming stool may suddenly appear next to your pet, and the owner in front of the phone, no matter how superficial Disgusted, the fingertips still involuntarily slid honestly to the “shovel” button.
In the intermission music and animation, the pile of dazzling stools on the screen quickly disappeared, and the pet also showed a cheerful expression. Behind the collective “aunt laugh” of players, the inner accomplishment of the “post waves” who lived alone has increased exponentially.
A long time ago, it may be difficult for us to verify where the first designer with such a magical brain hole came from, but what is interesting is that after that, shoveling shit” element and the concept of “pet” There seems to be a strong bond between them.
In the past two decades, no matter how the graphics and gameplay of pet games have been upgraded, for the players who are eager to try online, that small pile of unremarkable pixels is the key to “injecting soul” into the whole link .
The popular road of “cloud shit”
This is a small alien species. They left an egg on the earth and wanted to see how life is there.
This is the propaganda copy printed on the packaging of the first-generation “Toma song”.
While traveling back to Tokyo in Japan in the 1996s, you might be surprised to find that among the young girls walking through the streets of Harajuku, whether it is a hard girl or a soft girl, the backpack has a variety of colors hanging on the sides Digital egg.
They are not some kind of mysterious religion or trendy ritual, but “Tama Gezi”-an electronic pet game console launched by Bandai in 1996.
As a little water flower before the huge wave of “cloud shit” in the future, the gameplay of the first-generation Tamagotchi is actually not complicated. 35 kinds of pets that can be selected start to “incubate” from an egg. Players use the buttons on the machine to feed, bathe and shovel these creepy “mosas” until the time goes by, these small mosaics grow into large mosaics step by step.
Behind the simple operation, the question about where the “QR code generator” is fun has become an eternal mystery that has plagued Japanese campuses in the millennium.
In some street interviews, many Japanese boys complained to the camera that the girls were addicted to “shoveling shit” after class, and the daily topic was also to ask each other about the development of “Toma Gezi” The little colored eggs seem to have completely lost their interest in cute boys.
Complaining, complaining, the sloppy doubts do not seem to affect the worldwide popularity of these harmless small eggs of humans and animals. Statistics show that “Tama Gezi””class=”text-big-title”>
The secret of shoveling shit
Another question in the circle of pet lovers who shares the same name as “The cat is so cute, why don’t you like it” is “Why is cat shit so stinky?”
Interestingly, although the smell of cat poop has become a recognized biochemical weapon, the aesthetic appeal of pets still has the upper hand compared to the two, which is also a big vote in the new century. The origin of “cat slave” shoveling shit.
For humans, whether it is an electronic pet or a physical pet, cuteness is indeed a must-have, but compared to cuteness, science is the real explanation for the phenomenon of this large group of Stockholm syndrome.
After researching this ethicist Conrad Lorenz, he summed up the “baby schema theory”, which combines the virtual and the real world of pets, and together summed up the ability to stimulate human protection. Appearance template:
Big head, round face, high and prominent forehead, big eyes, small nose and small mouth.
In this regard, Conrad explained that This recognition of “lovelyness” is a natural instinct in the evolution of human society over tens of thousands of years, which helps the human race increase the chances of survival for future generations.
In other words, whether you are looking at a stupid cat or a mosaic made of silicon and electronic signals, subconsciously, they are all “children” in your mind.
After a long time, the bond between pet owners and pets and the relationship between human parents and children will show even more striking similarities, and even produce some kind of similarity. Attachment emotions.
Among these, along with the intimate behaviors such as eye contact, petting, and shoveling of humans and pets, the brain will also secrete a chemical component called oxytocin.
After all, whether or not there is a pet, the loneliness of a person may be doomed.
And the significance of pets may be to drag the endless people out of the lonely myths and find the rustic shovel about life and action-no matter this shovel Whether it is real or virtual, when the moment it waves, people will rediscover the happiness that is hidden under the tranquility and happiness about the matter of “living”.
