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 know that there must be people out there who are emotionally regulated, but it just seems like a low-quality bit to me.

"Yeah sure, there are plenty of people who don't feel a new emotion or arrive in a new situation and immediately flip out about it at 110% amplitude!! Plenty of people don't freak out!" Neurotypical propaganda.

I'm thinking about one of my favourite shows tonight

“There's nothing in this world that is ever truly decided. Birds sometimes fall out of the sky, and sometimes it snows in April. Everything is uncertain, nothing is 'unnatural.”

Tomorrow is an important day for me

idk dating posting, idk what to even call ithaha maybe i am not ready to be friends with my ex situationship i saw them on feeld and it gave me some baaaaaaaaaaaad feelings in my heart and soul deeper-sadness maybe i'll get over it by the time it's time to see them this week. if we're friends obviously we'd want to be able to talk about each other's love lives but i feel like that's something that's maybe wiser to work up to than to dive into right away and i was not at all ready for the "stumble upon them on the sex app" introduction to all that. feeld is so fucking stupid in terms of its privacy features also, idk if you can block people at all and you definitely can't do the tinder and hinge thing where you block your phone contacts

They should make a discussion board where someone who didn't like a piece of media but is open minded lets fans of that piece of media explain the appeal.

The problem with this is that things tend to be bad in parts but good as a totality, so while conveying a criticism can be done by just about anyone, telling people why something is good is a rare talent

I know it seems redundant because you can just read positive reviews, but when you read positive reviews of something you don't like there's a little demon inside of you who wants to choke out the nerd who's glazing a piece of trash. They should let you actually choke the nerds, but in a nice and polite way.

is there something to say w/rt the axis of resistance that is along the lies of "these societies would likely have naturally progressed through the churning of internal contradictions to a more tolerant level re: lgbtq+ rights if there wasn't an ultimatum presented re: israel and america of 'unite or die' which fundamentally dampens internal struggle and locks social norms into place." i don't think it's like THE factor but is there something to be said about it being a factor?

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.
