“(kah-wah-ee): Cute. Often used on its own when observing a situation or character having any distinct level of cuteness.” (had to look this one up)

It’s cute yes, but I must agree with Tobie & Dale that there is something scary about the corruption of that cuteness.

(Yet, I still want one!)

Yup, the technology is pretty awesome. The way it’s being used kind of makes me cringe!

It looks like you need to buy her different dresses and such with those ‘gift cards’. As for the being poked and finger stuff, well, I thought that to be a bit dubious also, Uccello, but, ah well… .

I assume sooner or later, ‘hacks’ for it will appear? So a ‘nude’ dress option (dunno if there is one now, I don’t think so), maybe total different characters (a guy? :D), etc.

I assume, Tobie, you find the technology amazing and the use incredibly disturbing? Or is it the other way around? ;)

That’s both amazing and incredibly disturbing.

I don’t know whether to be delighted or horrified. I think I’ll alternate for awhile…
