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.

Eu4 anbennar is so fun, im still waiting for updates because a lot countries still lacking certain mechanics such as religion mechanics or mission trees to expand the lore, but its still satisfying to play as the elves in Not-America and destroy the zionist elf faction in Not-Europe.

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

Glad my debts are cleared, since now I can afford to stress-eat. And probably stress drink. This clogged tub was apparently the final straw on a vaguely unpleasant week.

  • pumpkin spice things (particularly if there's no actual pumpkin in them)
  • women's fingernails

this soviet textbook chapter on feudal economics is so fascinating and something ive been looking for for such a long time. like what are the specifics of natural economy and how did peasant rent work and what's the difference between free peasants and peasant serfs, and how did feudalism arise out of slave economies, and how did capitalism develop in the cities, and how did exchange economy develop.

also would be soo so good for somebody looking into worldbuilding a feudal fantasy world hahaha

angry ranting about computer problemsI went to turn on my PC tonight, and just all of a sudden the wi-fi doesn't work. Neither does USB. I have a dual boot setup (only use Windows for VR) but it seems to be some kind of hardware issue because not only does the wi-fi device apparently not fucking exist in both operating systems, but the stupid keyboard and mouse that has always worked now won't connect (it's not bluetooth, it's the usually decent logitech receiver thing)

The worst part?? Keyb/mouse works JUST FINE in the bios, and the bootloader. Once it's in either OS, it's fucking broken, and because there's no internet, I can't fix it without just trying to usb key my way out of this mess. Since there's no network and no input, I can't even troubleshoot.

I tried to reset BIOS settings because I did do some tinkering in there a while ago, I think it made it worse, lol.

I just upgraded this computer too, lol.

Has anyone else here played Yokai Watch? It always gets left out of the monster-collector discourse even though they're the best games on the 3DS. I wish it was more popular in the west so that the fourth game would get localized already.

Timberwolves traded KAT purely for financial reasons. I doubt they have a chance to win a championship, but they'll be a playoff team and sell tons of Anthony Edwards jerseys. I hate Minnesota sports owners with a burning passion.
