I did break the machine once and repaired it, and then I was able to use it a second time! Maybe I was just stupid. I also didn't realize that talking took energy, so I just yapyapyapped which was probably why I always had low energy, even if I did sleep on the couch once. I did see the snacks as well, but I had no money haha. I hope my incoherent messages can help a little with the rest of the development haha, good luck!!
