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.

    Watching the new RLM video where they do the ghost hunting and it’s brought up kinda late into it that Rich doesn’t know the technical aspects of a video camera enough to set up shots himself and whatnot. He’s been working with Mike since the mid 90s and has been professionally doing film work for like almost 20 years now and had at least been a camera operator for shots pretty often. You’d think he’d be good enough to be trusted with setting up shots and lighting and setting and whatnot, it’d not that complicated. They were making it sound like he wouldn’t be able to get a shot in focus.

    “Humans are a social species, and so we are not only ourselves. We are something together, a thing that is neither a creature with person-shaped organs, nor a pile of persons that accumulates where the wind blows us. This is a good thing, probably; when people die, the creature’s organs are not failing, and when the wind blows hard enough to scatter the pile, we can grab hold of each other to resist. But when I see the bombs dropping, I feel differently. A creature could not bleed itself this way and continue to live. A pile does not feel the pain of its missing pieces.”

    I ain’t doing great.

    My mum is at the stage of increasing heart rate, sinking blood pressure, both clots and excessive bleeding stage of dying. We thought she was going to die 4 days ago, but she responded well to antibiotics. She’s stopped responded to antibiotics, but she’s not in as much pain as she was last Sunday.

    While this is happening, I’m at my sisters place to be closer and help out with the pets and kids. But I don’t know where anything is or the rhythm of the household so I keep feeling like I’m getting in the way.

    I think I’m going to get evicted in December, triggering another round of destroying half of everything I own because there’s not enough time/money to move everything and I tend to downsize.

    I feel like I’m losing my job. I’ve been given “bereavement leave” but I’m a casual so it just means I’m not getting paid.

    Recently because I’ve suddenly got a full time (hours, not legally) job, I haven’t had enough time to complete many of my projects or even really feed myself properly. Shops are too far away and apparently I will actually starve myself if I can’t satisfy a craving. I apparently want kfc, I have perfectly edible leftovers in the fridge, I can’t bring myself to eat them. This gets worse as other aspects of my life get worse.

    I am finding I cannot make decisions about anything. The longer term decisions are even worse, but getting up and going to the bathroom has to get to a painful point before I will do it, let alone meal planning. If someone yells at me to do stuff I will sometimes do it, but there is no juice left for “initiative”

    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.
