Digimon World (デジモンワールド Dejimon Wārudo?) is a role-playing, adventure, and digital pet video game developed by Bandai released at January 28, 1999 in Japan, North America at May 23, 2000, and PAL at July 6, 2001 for the PlayStation. It is the first game in the Digimon World series. The storyline focuses on a human brought to File City on File Island by Jijimon to save the island. Digimon have been losing their memories and becoming feral and the city has fallen into disarray. The goal of Mameo is to save the island by helping Digimon recover their memory and return to the city.

As it came before the anime in Japan, it is very strictly based on the Virtual Pets. The game play revolves around raising a single Digimon from its Digitama form, hatching into a Fresh, up through In-Training, Rookie, Champion, and with work, Ultimate. A Digimon partner will die with age, and return to an egg eventually, so the player has to raise it again.

Fans of the anime will be familiar with the sixth stage, Mega; however this game was made only shortly after the Pendulum series of pets, which introduced Mega level.

To raise a Digimon partner, the player must train it, feed it, let it rest, and take it to the bathroom.

The other main aspect of gameplay is battle. The player's partner Digimon fight the Digimon that have become aggressive due to a crisis on File Island. Partner Digimon begin the game with a few basic skills but acquire more as they progress in levels through the game.

The PAL region's variant cover art features the seven initial Partner Digimon from Digimon Adventure. The group includes Tentomon which isn't obtainable but does however appear in Beetle Land and Gomamon, who is otherwise completely absent from this game

Gameplay

Digimon World's game play utilizes two major aspects: Raising and battling. The element of monster raising consists of feeding your Digimon, allowing it to rest, and leading it to the bathroom. As a Digimon grows and trains, it can digivolve into a stronger form; there are 5 stages of digivolution in total including the desirable Ultimate form. Raising a Digimon carefully and properly helps progress through the game, and improper treatment can lead to dire consequences. The second element of the game, battling, composes the other major aspect of the game. Digimon World's battle system heavily relies on options that a player can command, such as "Your Call" and "Retreat".[3] As a player ventures in the wild, Digimon may engage in battle when touching each others paths. Battles are usually inevitable while adventuring, and they are a reliable source of techniques that a Digimon can learn and money. Training a partner Digimon enhances its parameters, enabling it to fight with better ease and digivolve to powerful forms. Digimon World also provides various mini-games for the player, including fishing, arena tournaments, and curling. Sub-quests are also available, mainly for new recruiting Digimon and other hidden surprises.

I still dream of the day you can be casually communist. Where the low information voter can go "of course the people who do the work get the fruits of the labor." I want so badly for libs and conservatives to have to explain themselves to childish people and be dismissed with shit like "but heroin needles on the streets and nurses in trashbags in America." So many fully grown adults take so much liberty in their philosophy just because they happen to share their ideology with the people who hold all the power.

So many awful parts about pmdd but knowing it's "in my head" in the sense that there's nothing I can do to prevent feeling this way is so disheartening kitty-cri

My driver this morning has a dog in his lap, and I found my "kill me" hat at my friend's apartment. Yes it's literally just a hat that says "Kill Me" on it.

[-] neo@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago

I remember my friend had this Digimon game and kept getting Poop-mons. They kept turning into poops for some reason.

[-] space_comrade@hexbear.net 3 points 34 minutes ago* (last edited 31 minutes ago)

That happened to me too, I always assumed it was because it was a pirated copy and it was some kind of piracy deterrent thing but apparently it's due to some game mechanic I didn't really understand as a kid.

[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 3 points 2 hours ago

You should probably block me for the next entire month. Come October all I'm gunna' post about is complaining about two things:

  • pumpkin spice things (particularly if there's no actual pumpkin in them)
  • women's fingernails
[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 2 points 2 hours ago

Also pro-Lorcana posts, which will anger you even further than the negative posts.

Y'xll, if Gale wants to show you a magic trick, it's not actually a magic trick. It's sex. my barbarian was upset.

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 7 points 6 hours ago

Whenever you go out for a meal, know that there is at least a 60% chance that the people in the kitchen fucked something up and just said "give it to them anyway, they'll never know." I know because I was a kitchen porter and we did that shit all the time. Also I have multiple friends who work or worked in kitchens and they all say the same. Your burger bun probably fell on the floor and was dusted off.

[-] CrispyFern@hexbear.net 5 points 6 hours ago

The Internet is a crazy place. You're gonna be lied to on the internet, and I'm no exception troll

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 4 points 6 hours ago

I just found the phrase "now, you manically focused one" at the start of a paragraph of an essay I was writing yesterday. What the fuck does that mean. I have no memory of writing that at all, genuinely what the fuck is going on

[-] HarryLime@hexbear.net 11 points 9 hours ago

I'm struggling how to articulate this, but I'm kind of terrified that the culture has been geared to killing or ignoring any idea of real male interiority to potentially catastrophic results. Reading anecdotes about how men don't read or buy books anymore, even books that are traditionally geared towards men, and how college literature classes have no young men taking them. Is it just nothing for men but video games and Rogan knock-off grindset streamers from now on?

[-] starkillerfish@hexbear.net 8 points 4 hours ago

I feel like books are still incredibly male-centric. Like the front section of the Barnes and Nobles is usually "10 steps to DOMINATE everyone in your life", "Manly WARRIORS of Saturn" and "Napoleon's (ALPHA MALE) biography" or something like that. And I actually see people reading it on public transport or whatever. Of course it's part of the grindset culture that you mentioned, I just don't think it's fair to say that men are completely absent from book culture. The grindset/video game culture spills over into the literature world.

[-] HarryLime@hexbear.net 1 points 10 minutes ago

Maybe I should have been more clear, but I'm talking about fiction or literary non-fiction. Men only being given a diet of self-help grindset book is part of the problem I'm worried about. Like, when I was in high school and college, you could be a "bro" kind of guy and read Chuck Palahniuk, or Hunter S. Thompson, or David Foster Wallace. For decades, authors like Hemmingway and Bukowski found receptive audiences in young men, not to mention all the crime fiction, horror, sci-fi, and fantasy that men have traditionally consumed. The "guy in your English class who loves David Foster Wallace" was a stereotype for a reason. But now it seems like younger men just straight up see no value in reading literature or fiction, because the algorithms just railroad them into Alpha Gridset world. Am I wrong about this?

[-] HarryLime@hexbear.net 5 points 9 hours ago

Am I crazy for thinking that the only real culture young men are exposed to now are like variations of the Tom Cruise character from Magnolia?

[-] CrispyFern@hexbear.net 4 points 7 hours ago

Idk what is it with jazz. I smoke a joint. Drink some vodka and just sit in the dark. Thinking. Wondering. Planning.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 7 points 9 hours ago

Working on some Malifaux models, specifically the McTavish box. It seemed like a sign when I saw some rye whiskey called McTavish. Sadly, I think I should have paced out the drinking, cause partway through this box I'm realizing I may want to call it a night.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 5 points 8 hours ago

A running bit of the John Brown Isekai is that John Brown is not the only isekai'd person in the isekai world, and most of the rest are stand-ins for your standard piece of shit isekai protagonists of various countries' isekai fiction.

John Brown Isekai latest chapter spoilers

The author made the absolutely genius, inspired choice to have John Brown's long life of fanatical puritan abolitionist prayer count as Cultivation time which is suddenly unlocked when a Cultivator-flavored isekai'd enemy attacks him. So now John Brown can dodge bullets.

Crushposting:

Better to be slightly out of line than risk them spiraling out of control, so I decided to override the no-contact policy and ask #2 simply if they were ok, and we cleared some things up slightly. We hope to be friends again soon. Usually people find that hard but I figure since we were never really lovers (just rapidly heading there) it should be easier.

[-] SoylentSnake@hexbear.net 3 points 1 hour ago

Usually people find that hard but I figure since we were never really lovers (just rapidly heading there) it should be easier.

it's massively case by case but yeah usually easier to convert a crush that never happened back to friendship. it sounds like crush 2 is going through some dark shit from your last post, i hope they get the help they need.

Power’s still out, 2 days now. Originally it was expected back by tomorrow but it got pushed to Tuesday now, probably redirecting people to NC where shit is so much worse.

I really didn’t expect this hurricane to be Katrina for Asheville. It’s like 7+ hours from the ocean what the fuck.
