Gordy futzes with some Digimon game on the DS. "Apparently I have put a tiny digi-blob on a desert island with no food and a machine that punches it in the head automatically when it comes too close."
Gordy is a bad parent.
Arlo yips, "You make your digimon STRONG."
You say, "You better eat! Eat some meat! ...ohyeah there's no food in your gulag."
Arlo yips, "He must make his OWN MEAT to survive!"
Arlo yips, "It teaches him independence!"
You say, "There's an option to hit it with a squeaky hammer. What kind of game is this?"
You say, "The great thing is that this is all happening on the top screen, and on the bottom I'm having an RPG adventure with some other digimon. So I've, like... exiled the one up top to Siberia. This game is making me feel increasingly like a giant dick."
Arlo heehee.
Gordy puts the plant pok... digimon to work growing crops. "Yes. Eat your brothers, my onion. ... Minion."
Gordy peers. "...you're a PLANT. How do you FAIL at farming?"
You say, "At least I have a 5/1 ratio of "digithings I am being a dick to" to "digithings I am raising with love and care", I guess."

...around that point my DS got low on battery. But... y'know. In case you ever wondered what goes through my mind as I game...

Ahahah. Sadly, unlike the original Digimon World for the PSX and Digimon World Championship, there's no drama about getting pissy that a digimon is busy shitting itself.

Constantly, apparently.

Hey, if humans can fail at raising their children, plants can fail at farming.
