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’m so mad at my disability agency lmao. These fuckers wait like 3 weeks to deposit a check for rent when I give it to them. So this month it ended up that two checks came out in the same month, so I overdrew because I had like 30 bucks left for the month lmaooo.

    They better have some method of direct deposit as a thing but I wouldnt be suprised if they didnt because theyre awful incomptent pieces of shit most of the time.

        Go to your bank and ask for a cashier’s check, (make sure your info is in the memo). With a cashier’s check, the bank takes the money out of your account immediately, so whenever the agency cashes the check, they’re taking the money from the banks account.

    angry ranting about computer problems

    I 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.

            ok so I figured it out - get this, the PCI-E USB card that I had in there was causing problems, apparently. Worked last week. Removed it, suddenly wifi works, and so does everything else.

            You might be on to something with this, since it appears that my problem was too many USB ports. Maybe the correct number is 0 after all. Return to PS/2 (do they still make mobos with them in them?)

              Could be a PCIE power management problem? Also PCIE 4.0 stuff can cause problems with that, try PCIE 3.0 in your bios if it’s on Auto?

              I am shocked that you’re using a card, most boards have like eight or ten, many ports… And yes, my Asus B450M A-II Prime has a combo PS/2 jack :3

              Glad you found the problem at least!

                yeah, I was using the card so that I could do PCI passthrough back when I was using a VM for VR, since usb passthrough wasn’t working, the motherboard has like 8000 ports, yeah. I’m not doing VM anymore, so I thought I’d just take it out. You might be right that it could be a power management issue, but I don’t really need it right now so :shrug: I bet the card is fine

                wow that’s pretty cool actually, damn

                everything is fixed in linux, but windows pretends it doesn’t know what wifi is, so i’m off to figure out which service i accidentally disabled lmao (It Was Working A Couple Weeks Ago)

                I was using a card before my latest build this summer. I’d just stacked up that much usb crap over the years that i ran out of space on my old mobo.

                That’s so fascinating - like the only thing I can think of is some kind of BIOS thing. I was worried my new-ish processor was dying on me haha, but it appears to be working! (my guesses are what Ash said, or maybe the card somehow came un-fully-seated since I moved my computer around a couple of times)

    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.

    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.

    Will never forget when a Craigslist petition company hired me, and flew me to ohio to get signatures for legal abortions and weed. Then they were like we got another assignment for you in Montana a month later, so I got flown to Billings. They handed me the petition and it was the biggest hock of horse shit, wanting me to get supporters for Joe Manchins No Labels party. I didnt do shit and got sent back home a week later.

    Starting Tokyo Drifter and the whites in the opening are insanely bright, to the point where it feels like detail is lost. Almost looks like it was shot on infrared film. Lol, I’m sure it’s an inrended effect, but sometimes I’m like is there a reason behind this or could they just not afford better equipment?
