3DS Attachment Syndrome (3DSAS)
3DSAS is a subcategory of DAS (Device Attachment Syndrome) that revolves around an intense emotional attachment to the Nintendo 3DS system. Individuals with 3DSAS have an obsessive bond with their 3DS and experience a strong desire to become a Mii character within the 3DS, particularly in the game Tomodachi Life. This condition can lead to compulsive behaviors, delusional thoughts about living within the 3DS world, and identity confusion surrounding one’s self and the digital personas they create.
Symptoms:
- Mii Identity Delusion: Believing oneself to be a Mii character and feeling a sense of dysphoria when not perceived or treated as one.
- Tomodachi Life Obsession: Constantly thinking about Tomodachi Life and feeling distressed when unable to interact with the game, characters, or personal Mii.
- Digital Projection: Seeing the 3DS as a "home" and desiring to live entirely within the digital environment of the device, particularly the Mii Plaza and Tomodachi Life island.
- 3DS Possessiveness: Displaying extreme protectiveness over the 3DS, refusing to let others touch or handle it, and feeling panic if separated from it.
- Routine Rituals: Engaging in daily rituals that revolve around caring for the 3DS, updating Miis, and maintaining Tomodachi Life islands.
- Identity Confusion: Experiencing identity-related confusion, where the person struggles to differentiate between their real-life self and their Mii persona.
- Desire for Digital Transformation: Intense longing to be “uploaded” into the 3DS world, wishing to leave the physical body behind to exist solely as a Mii.
- Social Withdrawal: Preferring the company of the digital characters in Tomodachi Life over real-life relationships, leading to social isolation and a decline in real-world social interactions.
- Compulsive Customization: Feeling compelled to constantly customize and perfect Mii characters, spending excessive time tweaking details and managing their virtual lives.
Color Theme: The color theme for 3DSAS is a combination of vibrant teal, neon pink, and soft gray. The teal represents the digital landscape of the 3DS interface, the neon pink symbolizes the whimsical and lively world of Miis, and the soft gray hints at the dissociative nature of escaping into the digital realm.
Visual Representation: A visual representation of 3DSAS would feature a figure clutching a glowing 3DS. The figure’s body would appear to pixelate and blur at the edges, as if merging into the digital world. Surrounding them would be floating, colorful Mii avatars from Tomodachi Life, while the background features a stylized, pixelated landscape. The colors would be bright and eye-catching, contrasting with the figure’s vacant expression, emphasizing their deep entanglement with the 3DS world.

Post Avatar Depression Syndrome (PADS)
This condition often causes suicidal thoughts and depression in some viewers. These emotions were evoked by how dark and depressing the real earth we live in is when compared to the gorgeous views of Pandora. Also, everyday life felt lacking and boring when compared to the ones experienced by the Na'vi.
