I've always wanted a pet, unfortunately never got it from my parents no matter how moral and kind they forced me to be, such motivated by myself were ignored. All they did was torture me and waste my time and effort.
I feel bad man I understand this.
Pets are actual robots that can be controlled, it sounds fun when you think about it: It'll never interrupt you, it can't talk over you, it can't object
Yes it has a game but it's hard to play and that's what makes it interesting
Over time, you develop feelings for it and let it control your life by choice, really weird tbh if you're not showing it or anything
I don't believe you'll rope though, you'll come to a few realizations but don't give up so easily, pets are a minor problem pets die after 4 years anyway, your life is more important
