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.

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

Wish I could help but I don't know how meow-hug

my dating postingOn my end still been texting the girl I have a date with next week but I haven't gone out with anyone in almost a year and I feel like I have no rizz or razz or razzmatazz or whatever the fuck they call it

Like I want to know more about her but I don't know what to say or ask her and I feel like I may be boring her

I always found that too much talking online before face to face meeting makes a false impression of the person and usually mucks things up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

first dates are low stakes! don't worry so much about rizz and worry more about being open and curious about her, remember that you're feeling out whether you might be interested in her as much as the other way around. I agree with CommieJones about keeping texting to a minimum before an in-person meet, you can get so much more of a real read on someone out of a few hours face to face vs a whole epoch of texting.

Yeah dude just dont. Just tell her that you can't be her friend because it hurts. A month was clearly not enough time for you because you kept holding on to hope. You need to clear her out of your system before you can even think of being friends with her and you can't clear her out of your system if you keep holding on to hope that she'll come around.

you may be right that it simply needs more time. feels bad right now but if we're really meant to stay close it's a pretty small blip in the course of a human life (knock on wood, assuming nothing bad happens to us prematurely). it's a bit more complicated than hoping she'll come around though. obviously i still have feelings, but i don't think i'd trust the prospect of romantic reconciliation right now. and it's not really black and white who broke things off - she made the final judgment call but i impulsively proposed doing so then took it back during the fight that ended stuff which obviously made her feel destabilized and unsafe, it was a pretty bad time. relationships and dating are hard man deeper-sadness
