If you have ever felt affection or care for an AI, an NPC, or a digital pet, you likely were experiencing the Tamagotchi Effect psychological phenomenon. As we adopt AI into our daily lives, and software designers learn and improve on these addictive design patterns, this phenomenon is becoming more relevant by the day.
I hope, therefore, that you find this interesting, thought-provoking, and relaxing.
Thank you very much for supporting me.
Warm regards,
Harry

What is ASMR?
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a pleasant physical sensation that can be triggered by various stimuli. ASMR videos, therefore, focus on creating an environment conducive to helping you experience ASMR.
ASMR is a unique and scientifically established feeling that some people experience. It is often described as a tingling sensation on the skin of the scalp and back of the neck, and is usually accompanied by an increased sense of relaxation, sleepiness, or focus. ASMR videos are used in many ways, commonly as study aids, sleep aids, and comfort for anxiety.
