Typing with a controller really isn't that bad. That's more like a purgatory thing. Hell would be having to use a television remote.

I have a huge physical media collection. I don't feel like I actually own something unless I can touch it. The only time I buy digital is when something isn't available any other way. I think in my case it's an autism thing rather than an ADHD thing since I'm both.

I don't have any specific words or anything, but I do have some general tips that might be useful.

You can exclude words from search results by placing a - at the beginning of the word you don't want. For example if you want real hedgehogs and not Sonic the Hedgehog:

hedgehog -sonic

Another tip is you can put quotation marks around a phrase to search for content with that exact set of words. This can be useful when searching for something like a band with a name that just isn't search friendly.

"the band"

There's a great browser add-on called uBlacklist that can block specific sites from from search results. One particularly useful feature is subscriptions, which allows users to share public lists that update automatically.

I think you can do that with AntiMicroX.

This is just a thought, but something like having a specific day of the week for non-Gundam models might be a good solution.

Though, I definitely think scale models should be in their own dedicated community.

Based on their feature lists, the VMUPro looks like it supports almost everything the VM2 does and then some. Notably the VMUPro has a color screen and can emulate NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Master System, and Game Gear with the potential for additional systems via firmware updates. One thing the VM2 has that the VMUPro doesn't is that it has some internal memory, meaning it can be used without an SD card.

We'll probably see someone make an actual comparison video around October when the VMUPro releases.

I wasn't aware that there's a paid version. Based on their website it does look like they have a lot of standard stuff locked behind Pro. Is it just like an additional repo or something? I'm also not too keen on the fact that the upgrade doesn't carry over to the next major version.

I'm pretty sure that's Zorin. I've never used it myself, but from what I've heard it might be a good choice for OP's person.

The reason the US doesn't do that is thanks to lobbying by companies like Intuit and H&R Block.

I haven't personally seen it connected to Digimon World 2, though I did watch a Japanese streamer play through the game. They know about the PocketStation and Pocket Digimon World but apparently they're rare and expensive, if they even still work. Guessing the battery will need replacing, as it's about that age.

PocketStations aren't actually that rare or expensive. A quick look on eBay has them going for around $30 (unless you want a black one). The battery will definitely need replacing, but it's just a CR2032 (the same as a Dreamcast's VMU) and a pack of 10 of those is under $10. The Pocket Digimon World games aren't too expensive either with the original going for around $20 and the other two being around $30 each. All together that does add up to quite a bit, but it isn't that bad when there are some games out there that go for hundreds.

If I recall correctly the PS1/PSX has a region lock chip, so to use it you'd need a Japanese PlayStation, a Japanese copy or burn of Digimon World 2 and one of these. Sounds expensive.

It is possible to bypass the region lock with a mod chip (requires soldering) or an exploit like Tonyhax International (requires a memory card, a way to install the exploit, and possibly one of several specific games).

Edit: Typo

In case anyone's curious, the plane appears to be a Douglas C-47 Skytrain. It's a great plane with a great history. They were absolutely essential to the success of D-Day and the Berlin Airlift. Despite being 80+ years old, there are many still in service in some of the most challenging environments on the planet.

~~I may or may not have just been waiting for an opportunity to talk about my favorite kind of plane.~~

The story of the song (English and German) is about someone releasing balloons causing a radar operator to mistake them for nuclear weapons and starting World War III.

False alarm of this nature were disturbingly common.

Edit: In the German version the balloons are mistaken for UFOs. Here's a direct comparison between the two versions.

This isn't the original upload, but this repost is still 12 years old.

 

This was revealed during the anniversary stream. Not a lot of info yet, but based on the rest of the Digital Monster COLOR releases, it'll probably be exclusive to Premium Bandai and probably cost between 60 and 70 USD before shipping. It might end up not coming to the international P-Bandai stores due to licensing (like the Monster Hunter ones), so anyone interested might have to go through an import store (I recommend ZeninTCG or JapanYouWant) or a proxy.

For anyone unfamiliar with Digimon v-pets I recommend this website for information and I'm also willing to answer questions.
