First off I want to start with saying PLEASE dont slime me as this is my opinion 🥹

I think the sbg is being manipulated, but manipulated to drop, not manipulated to rise.

Tbh, I play the game a lot, and I rarely ever see people hatching silverback gorillas. I have never watched a 0.1 chance pet. A lot of people never have.

Now yes, i know theres speculation there's a high stockage, which could indicate was bottled. But keep in mind, adopt me has a lot of players, so it's completely possible that a solid amount of the stockage isn't botted.

Then, the stockage that is botted, still took equally as much time, and was being mass hoarded (up untill today) when amvgg randomly marked down the sbg by a small amount. Tbh, the overpays it was getting yesterday were not worthy of it dropping, yet it did. if a pet is botted, but no one trades it, it doesn't really affect the value. however, a few manipulation tactics could change the hoarding, which changes the value.

Confuzzling, sure, but now sbg owners are panicking. And in that panic, I've noticed people are trading away their gorillas. And in that little web of panic trade, there are fake traders as well, pretending to own a sbg just to pretend to trade it for a lowball. ​​​

If someone knew silverback was rising and they dont have one, the perfect idea is to try and drop it to get them.

And these combination of factors is what makes a pet drop. Also, not everyone hates sbg, i really like them personally, i like monkey pets a lot.

Hello, aspiring dev here. I have had years and years of experience with games, (over 11y.) but I mostly play them, I don't make them or script them. I'd like to change that though.

What would you, as an indie dev, or a dev that has earned a reasonable, solid chunk of money in the game, either in the past or currently, what would you say some key mechanisms need to be added into your game to ensure people are interested in it? What was your toughest learning curve? What were some things you wish you were told upfront? What was your biggest win? What were some subtle mechanisms you put in your game that made spending rewarding? And lastly, if you had to do it all over again, where would you start?

Hi! I'm an Aquarius. I'm very interested in the other signs interests and personalities. I want to ask yall, whats the most astrology typical thing about you?

I'll go first. As an Aquarius, i think the most Aquarius thing about me is probably my curiosity to understand people and what they like. Also, I like deep conversations.

What about yall?

Hi, my name is Ellie, I'm 17f. i don't know if I'm writing this in the right place, so please cut me some slack if my post doesn't exactly fit this subs theme.

for backstory, i am homeschooled. My mom picks and chooses when she wants to assume the mother role. She likes the fun aspects of mothering, like sharing food, eating at the table, or conversing with me even when its draining for me, and being affectionate. but she does not like tough conversations, she doesn't like respecting my boundaries, she doesn't like how I'm 17, and my boundaries are much larger than they were when i was seven, and most importantly, she does not like to listen.

Because of her lack of liking to listen, she cut off all family members, because she would rather be alone than deal with uncomfortable and rough family moments. she homeschooled me without really asking me if it was what i wanted, she refused to let me leave the house, because, it wasn't what she wanted, she refused to let me go online to make friends, despite it being what i wanted, and she refused to go out of her comfort zone to give me what i wanted, in terms of family, friends, an enjoyable social life, and despite her being the parent, she has a very low tolerance for emotions. When i was 4-7, she used to ignore me if i cried, and she would've continued to ignore me if i didn't start screaming at her to look at me when i was eight.

Despite this all, I am rebuilding my life, brick by brick, despite her threatening me to file a missing person's, I started leaving the house after I found the spare key. I started trying to enter programs where I can get more food. I'm genuinely figuring out how to do the best I can with the best I have.

And im doing great I feel like, but I am scared. I don't think people like me very much. Whenever I open my mouth people get angry at me. Or they just tune me out. I am starting to feel like i am the problem atp.

I have lost countless friends, and im starting to think it's not bad luck anymore.

Regardless, I'm still hurting, my problem or other's. I am incredibly lonely.

For years, i have not been heard. I have not been listened to. I have not seen my family for the past 11 years. Nobody has been there to hear me. NO matter if what i have to say is sensible or not. Since I've had to carve out around 80% of my logic, and i would say I'm doing good. i found a way to get a job online despite my crippling social anxiety. I have a plan on moving out despite the odds, and im very confident in that plan, which is saying a lot because i don't find much confidence in many things, besides creative projects.

However, i still have a huge problem. Communication. According to my mom, I'm the problem. To her, I'm terrible at communicating, and the amount of people who get sick of me, maybe she's right. So many people do not want anything to do with me, either because i don't want anything to do with them, mutually, or because I'm just too irritating for them. So many people try to just avoid me quietly and hope i don't notice, and blame me when i do.

A lot of times when i post in forums, people just dogpile, scoff at me, treat me like I'm naive and haven't lived a day in the real world... All the while I'm going through the toughest situation i know of in terms of mentally. It's not every day you find a kid isolated from her family and real people due to her mother's cowardly behaviour. I'd argue its unheard of, if i had to, but hopefully i don't have to argue as I'm trying to vent right now :)

On paper i have not graduated 4th grade. I don't have a bank account, and because of what i listed above, i cannot rely on my mother to help me get one. Even if i could, I'm very very unlikely to get hired. I gave my mom a hard time with homeschool, and when she gave me assignments they weren't really very well formulated, so i did not do my work. By the time i catch up, i will already be in my early 20s, i don't have the time for that.

One option i currently have is developing a roblox game and working on that untill I'm 18, for both sanity and money making reasons. However when i posted this idea, i was mass downvoted and treated like i was some unrealistic kid who needed to be humbled. What's so ironic is that the main problems i experience are from these people telling me i cant do anything. i would rather struggle to find a job and figure out how to move out than get told over and over that I'm living all wrong, and that i need to do it a different way, or i'll fail, regardless of whether or not my way has been helpful to me. Someone said to me that I'm "in for a world of pain if i don't learn to take critisicm, though the criticism in question was just telling me to try harder at getting the id, birth certificate, and job that i already said i can not get. Every time i explain that I cannot do something, I'm just told that i can and that i need to stop overthinking it. I may be an overthinker, but im not dumb. I'm aware that you need a job to survive in this economy. I'm aware documents that prove your identity are vital. I'm working on it as fast as i can.

And friendships, don't get me started on those. i act like a clown in hopes people will like me, sometimes they do, sometimes they just decide "Hrm, i don't like her. maybe if I'm disrespectful she'll get the hint." I have not had a real friend. And when i thought i had one, she decided that she could not pray for me while i was mid-breakdown because her mother is strict about what she may and may not pray about, and my situation does not line up with said criteria. I feel so miserable and i don't really know what to do. I have nobody. Idk if its my fault or others, but its too much for a person to be this lonely.

'm genuinely at my fucking wits end.
i am a minor without a bank account. Homeschooled, social anxiety so i try to make income online. and despite all odds i found a way to make money. swagbucks. I made enough to buy a phone and all kinds of things, then the offers rand dry and support wasn't doing their job anymore, so i searched for weeks for other offers. enter earnlab.
this next part is less earnlabs fault and more of google/tech issue.
i get on earnlab, ready to make a rebate purchase (spend a certain amount of money, get 15%) back, google steps in and fucking flags and suspends my account for fraud. if i don't have a bank account, i have no way to verify its me using their app, and besides, even if i did, i think that's a bit ridiculous either way. Long story short, I'm out of 50$. I shrug it off like its no big deal, even though it is a fucking big deal, because I'm trying to save up to buy a new laptop for making a roblox game (which if done right can earn me enough money for moving out at 18, which is my goal.) Everything that can possibly go wrong is going wrong right now and im so frustrated i can spit. in order to get me out of this pit, i need money, and i need to make it alone, and there's always something in my fucking way stopping me. I'm at my wits end over here i need some guidance. I'm shouldering this alone and nobody gives a fuck. i take 12 steps foward and 20 back.

Hi.

for backstory, I am a 17 year old homeschooled student who really needs help with getting my vital documents, such as birth certificate, ssn, state id.

I have no family, no friends, ive been homeschooled for the last 8 years, my mother is my only family member that ive seen since I was 8, I have not went to the doctor since I was 7, so I dont have any documents from that.

since I was homeschooled when I was eight, school records are basically inaccessible to me.

I need my birth certificate, and a state ID, and ssn card. My mother refuses to help me with this. at first she agreed, then, three days later when I asked for a followup, and for her to solidify the plan with a certain date, she just flaked. refused out of nowhere. then came up with the reason of "I won't apply for that information untill youre 18. untill then, legally, it belongs to me." And when I pressed her further, she said "I am planning on applying to a charter which will not only be able to help asses you mentally (i asked for) but will also be able to give you life skills." as pretty as this sounds, it doesnt change the factor that I still need my birth certificate, id and it's better to have these documents sooner or later, then right when I'm eighteen. Also, I have a gut feeling this is just something shes saying to stall.

I really would like to get out of this house. reliable food is an unknown at the end of the month, my mom has spendt money on edibles in the past, currently is always buying snacks that she hides, things for herself, clothes that she hides, a bunch if random expenses that really are irresponsible, she has no income coming in and relies completely on the government. She spends more money on herself than she does on me, and whenever I bring this to her attention she says: ":/ I'm sorry." Or "I'm sorry you feel that way." but never changes the behavuour.

a lot of the clothes I have are just things she bought and didnt check in with me about, or they are things that she cant wear. too tight/too big/ugly/worn out/defective. I'm worn out from this.

I really fucking need help. I'm clawing away at my skin at this point. I'm isolated, my only avenue to help me get my life back and any semblance of sanity is being stubborn, borderline abusive, and overall unfair, C- parenting. How do I get these documents without her? How do I reclaim what's honestly mine? I have no proof I exist and its killing me every day.

Hi reddit. I REALLY need help. I'm looking to move out of my house at 18.

Backstory/why: My mother goes through my things, hides food items, has attempted to control aspects of my life such as my social life, whether or not I leave, whether or not I am allowed to have my birth certificate, id, vital information, whether or not I am allowed to have a job, and overall mean spiritedness/condescending behaviour. she attempt to act as a kind maternal figure, but then says thing like "I'm not obligated to feel some false sense of guilt." whenever I try to hold her accountable for being unkind or saying something rude. When it comes to namecalling, she apologizes, but when it comes to psychological damage, she acts as though im crazy.

That aside, I need to get out of here. But I would prefer to not be homeless in order to do so. I have to scavenge for my id and birth certificate myself, as, when i asked her, at first she agreed, only to tell me that she refused halfway. when I pressed her on it, she said it was because she planned on enrolling me in a charter that would teach me life skills, first. But that doesnt mean that I cant have my documents at this moment. Wouldnt it be good to have them now, instead of later? When I brought this to her attention, she just dismissed me and said "No." Which was very stubborn of her, and a clear message that im not going to be able to get my documents from her any time soon. This doesnt change the factor that I really do need my id and birth certificate. If I want to apply for any sort of benefits, these are essential, and it really feels as though she's planning to trap me here.

That also aside, among with the actual process of me getting my certificate and id, what do I apply to? I'm afraid of being homeless. And I have no safety net of i fall. I'm scared and I really need some advice and guidance.
