Digimon World - New General Megathread for the 28th-29th of September 2024
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 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
Whenever you go out for a meal, know that there is at least a 60% chance that the people in the kitchen fucked something up and just said "give it to them anyway, they'll never know." I know because I was a kitchen porter and we did that shit all the time. Also I have multiple friends who work or worked in kitchens and they all say the same. Your burger bun probably fell on the floor and was dusted off.
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.
Working on some Malifaux models, specifically the McTavish box. It seemed like a sign when I saw some rye whiskey called McTavish. Sadly, I think I should have paced out the drinking, cause partway through this box I'm realizing I may want to call it a night.
I'm struggling how to articulate this, but I'm kind of terrified that the culture has been geared to killing or ignoring any idea of real male interiority to potentially catastrophic results. Reading anecdotes about how men don't read or buy books anymore, even books that are traditionally geared towards men, and how college literature classes have no young men taking them. Is it just nothing for men but video games and Rogan knock-off grindset streamers from now on?
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.
If I were Patrick Mahomes, I'd insist on wearing a Mjolnir Mark VI helmet instead of a football helmet and have everyone refer to me as the Kansas City Master Chief
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.
Power’s still out, 2 days now. Originally it was expected back by tomorrow but it got pushed to Tuesday now, probably redirecting people to NC where shit is so much worse.
I really didn’t expect this hurricane to be Katrina for Asheville. It’s like 7+ hours from the ocean what the fuck.
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.
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.
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"
"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 tricked you, I put quotes around it to make you think someone old said it instead of me)
I wish I stole more food at work today. I'm on prep and not the line now so I have a lot less opportunities to make myself something. I still had the opportunity to do a little bit of snacking, but I usually get in at least a solid pound of fries over the day
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.
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.
They should make a discussion board where someone who didn't like a piece of media but is open minded lets fans of that piece of media explain the appeal.
What language is this? My white ignorant ass wants to say Hindi, but I know there are actually several languages on that subcontinent which I can't differentiate.
I know that there must be people out there who are emotionally regulated, but it just seems like a low-quality bit to me.
"Yeah sure, there are plenty of people who don't feel a new emotion or arrive in a new situation and immediately flip out about it at 110% amplitude!! Plenty of people don't freak out!" Neurotypical propaganda.
in addition to all the horrific shit happening wrt geopolitics and the various wars and hexbear doomers insisting that resistance is futile, i also somehow managed to piss off my roommate because i took their noodles out of an inactive microwave to microwave my own stuff. they say their noodles need to 'cook' after the microwave is off, but obviously the water will still be hot outside of the microwave, it doesnt stay hot after it turns off, definitely not hot enough to cook noodles. i just put them next to the microwave, but they scold me first thing when i wake up anyway. they even performatively put their noodles in for an entire second microwaving, like their noodles were already microwaved fully and were just cooling off, i did not interrupt that for enough time to warrant a second microwaving. of course if i were to point any of this out it would only cause strife drama and misunderstanding so im venting to internet strangers and feds on hexbear. i already woke up to horrific news from lebanon, already feeling suicidally depressed and wondering if fascism has simply won the physical plane of existence, already suffering the psychic damage from that idiot doomer in the news mega insisting that iran must cause nuclear armageddon or else they are cringe or something and the resistance has already lost and every single hezbollah commander is dead because the zionazis say so, and then this silly noodle shit happens. i hate existing. i cannot process these two kinds of existential horror, of fascisms seeming/alleged/apparent dominance of material reality and of my personal inability to coexist socially in a non-alienated/alienating way with the people around me, at the same time. i can't really even process them individually, all there is left to do is bear the suffering eternally.
haha 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 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
@GalaxyBrain
In reply to your reply to my post last megatgread
Think the landlord was just exaggerating for the story. He also went on to say how scary it feels to be watched and stolen from. Heard him as I left say how he is considering getting a new Rolex because the "cheap" (1k watches he was mentioning) are "too cheap feeling for me."
I feel like I have lost my identity after 1year of job-searching and subsequently work. I don't understand how things came to this point, I feel like all of my personality has crushed by the 9-5. Does everyone feel this hollow or am I that unable to exist
My core memory of Digimon World is being excited when my digimon evolves, just for it to turn into the shit-eating slug (numemon I think?), or the giant yellow shit-monster that also eats shit.
Is there any reason I shouldn’t start just actively identifying as pro-soros when dealing with more conspiritorially minded right wingers? I don’t really give a shit about anything but pissing them off as hard as humanly possible at every single opportunity.
I tried to make plans to attack and dethrone god with my friends this weekend, but they were all too busy. Well, I decided to go anyway, and when I got to god, all my friends were there dethroning him without me
I know that Digimon is getting a spotlight, but I finally completed my first ever Nuzlocke of Pokemon. I have a newfound respect for both crobat and granbull.
Is there a Hexbear type site for Libertarian Socialists / left libertarians?
I don't think I fit in on Hexbear. I was dogpiled for having a take that seemed to set off every regular on this site. To me it was a very innocuous take, but I'm coming to understand that this site isn't where I should talk about entertainment that is considered "vice".
On top of that someone made fun of me for dipping into a depressive episode. My fault for not having a CW but also you're a dick if you take someone having a mental break and calling them "shameful".
Oh, and getting banned so I can't reply to the several people that took "Let people enjoy their stupid betting apps" and think I'm somehow pro-slavery. Really not cool to take a good faith poster to the extremes and then kick em while they're down.
So... where do people like me go? Guess I'm not a ML after all. I don't want a puritanical society. It reminds me too much of the karens that try to control everything I do and say and I would think people here would understand that.
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.
My cat screaming on the other end of the bathroom door while I try and rinse the the rest of the drain cleaner down.
No current struggle session discussion here on the new general megathread, i will ban you from the comm and remove your comment, have a good day/night :meow-coffee:
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.
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.
