Ok this is the silliest nitpick but like... The personality/emotionality of the flipper zero has been the biggest thing stopping me from using mine more.

Like, I classify myself as an empath, and it's physically painful to think about using it and having to face the dolphin's sad face if it's been a while.

Looks like I need to hack mine to not get sad when I don't use it. Digital antidepressants, as it were...

You could use a custom firmware that allows asset packs, and just remove/replace either the sad animations or just all of them.

Obviously the best option is to just use it regularly enough that the dolphin doesn't get sad!

I've heard of these, but don't own one. Is the dolphin the equivalent of the Duolingo bird, or were you making a joke? (Sorry to ruin the joke if you were making one, I was just curious!)

Closer to a Tomagotchi. It's just some cute little pixel animations. It "levels up" as you use it, and has a mood based on frequency of usage, and randomly rotates between different activities. It doesn't affect anything the device actually does, it's just for fun.
