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.

Unfortunately I know what it’s like to be managed by the kid who asks the teacher for homework

But in corporate, this kid will try to use chatgpt to automate the tasks of people in other departments but when he realizes it’s not as easy as he thought, he assigns it to you to automate. Then he shows it off to his c suite boss and gets further praise

Corporate social climbers are an absolute plague.

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.

Did that bandana post get deleted? That seemed like an interesting discussion to learn more from, if only due to all the cultures and subcultures with different scarves and cloths.

Also one last Digimon thing (prolly), but Mimi's singing in the English dub sticks with me years later: "I'm gonna sing a song, a song that'll wake you uuuuuup."

I don't want to idealize the slop of the past, but I miss the old television series format. 24 episodes every year until it got cancelled. Like, Rick and Morty takes 2-3 years between seasons and it's stupid as hell. Every Netflix series is the same and cancellations are frequent. If a show was popular and you liked it, you very likely had something to watch next year.

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

very few shows can tell a complete story in 10-8 episodes let alone try to built something up for the next season, also filler episodes use to be a good way to let characters develop a bit and take a break from the main plot but nowdays they are demonized as a wasted of time.

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.

International law making it illegal for insurgencies to not have their operations bases be giant buildings in the middle of nowhere with a giant bullseye that says "YOUR BOMBS HERE" but not illegal to kill thousands of civilians where targeting those places is so goofy. So clearly written around letting America do whatever it wanted in Vietnam, and France in Algeria.
