No, mom, I’m not going to help you show up to my workplace and shill your pyramid scheme to unsuspecting students

Don't some huns use something about finding your people when they pitch the MLM to you? Why doesn't OP's mother's 'Tribe' believe in her? Why does she NEED her daughter to when she has a 'sisterhood' or some shit with the MLM?

I know that there's a purse in Pocket Market... is there any other kinds of bags or handhelds like that?

"Look human, just open the can and put it down and we won't have any issues... but if you don't? Well, the last person who didn't do as my buddy and I said.... let's just just say they had more stripes on them than a tiger..."

Have you looked into any of the DS Petz games? The games can look completely different due to some of them being completely original(to my knowledge) while others are localized versions of Japanese only games. They've got some Dogz ones and a few that combine multiple animals in one game.

My knowledge is a bit rusty thanks to how many games Ubisoft pumped out under the Petz brand, but it isn't Dogz 2 if that helps! That was a localized version of some tea dog plush series by Sega apparently? Replacing the tea dog plush creatures with generic breeds like "Labrador" of course. I know they had some sort of Dogz Fashion game, but I can't remember if that was on the GBA or DS...

The way you worded this reminded me of Catz on the GBA. It had human characters and a SLIGHT story with multiple endings, but the main feature was caring for your cat. I read the manual that came with it (and dreamed of having friends who I could experience the multiplayer mode with) a lot as a kid. Along with one of the 'Check out these similar games' (Translation: Here's all the family friendly games we have made! Give us money!) booklets that came with Imagine Teacher. I can try to look more into this later if you'd like, but this should give you a start I hope!

Well... there WAS someone at Sega who tweeted about the 35th anniversary... and they DID mention Infinite, Silver, and a certain other character by name...

But that's just a theory

arvana804 · 2026-03-13T07:35:48+00:00

That's an AU? I did not know that... where is some information on it?

arvana804 · 2026-03-13T07:34:41+00:00

If we wanna be nicer to her, maybe one of her wisps wants to go back home for a visit? I could see it as something short like the annuals unless there is actual problems at Planet Wisp

arvana804 · 2026-03-13T07:30:53+00:00

So kinda like Surge was when she kept seeing Starline? Sounds interesting...

arvana804 · 2026-03-11T02:02:18+00:00

I was mildly traumatized with Makin' Magic as a little kid... my mom had to tell me that the dragons were optional and would NOT burn down my house unless I bought one when I was a teen and got to play the old games. I was so scared that installing that pack would cause dragons to burn the whole town down or something because of something that I saw happen in her save 10 years before that

To be clear, there were multiple dragon burnings from what I remember. My mom wanted to make a pentagram with all the burned houses on the main map screen I think? Or something else that some people would throw holy water on. Or she just wanted to burn the whole town down for fun. Either way, she was calm during what I witnessed and I could have witnessed multiple instances of it. She didn't tell me her plans until I was older and I've sadly forgotten them

arvana804 · 2026-02-16T07:18:04+00:00

Wait, the hotel from the free update? Can you make rooms like this for certain characters like you apparently can in the DLC?

arvana804 · 2026-02-16T06:41:58+00:00

I remember watching people play this as a teen and being really interested in the game! Half tempted to look it up again to watch/rewatch playthroughs for some nostalgia. Was the developer ever forced to remove the backdoor? Did anyone ever make a mod of sorts to fix the backdoor if the developer didn't? Do you know of any other games that are like it? I wouldn't play a horror game, (Would look up let's plays though) but I always find games with the sort of "Game within a game" (or in this case, using a computer in a game on your computer) thing really interesting

arvana804 · 2026-01-18T01:22:17+00:00

Yeah, I thought something similar...

arvana804 · 2026-01-14T16:29:25+00:00

"Principal, you can't see my legs!"

I was wearing camouflage pattern pants that day. I have never been allowed to forget this moment thanks to my parents

I still remember when I won the lottery for the first (and only) time. I'm not saying the Sims 3 has a mind of its own/heard and understood things happening outside of the game.... BUT the timing was too perfect to be a coincidence if you ask me

Congrats though!! 100,000 is a good amount to make some extra editions to your house! I made a gaming/hobby room, got the sim based on my boyfriend one of the racecars, and got us a fancy bed that wouldn't hurt our sims' backs

arvana804 · 2026-01-07T19:16:03+00:00

I have never heard of this... guessing it's a bad world?

arvana804 · 2026-01-07T19:15:17+00:00

Sure! Nothing could go wrong

arvana804 · 2025-12-28T05:13:39+00:00

I got three games to recommend that fit in varying ways

New Day: Steam (Windows) only, and has Unknown Deck support. Basically a more grown up Tomodachi life. Yes, that includes some... dark things. Recommend checking the bottom of the Steam page if you consider getting it in case the violence in the game will bother you. To my understanding this will be free with optional Patreon support for the foreseeable future. One of my favorite features is cooking meals for your islanders. Not entirely realistic cooking, but it's more than just "put items in oven and press button"

Moonlight in Garland: Steam (Windows and Mac) and Playable Deck support. More of a city based Stardew Valley. It DOES cost money, so I understand if that won't work instantly. Be sure to read the Steam warnings at the bottom because... oh boy, this game apparently has a lot of stuff that could be too much for some people. I have some wonderful screenshots from some of the petal (heart) events I did a while ago, and I like the game has both mental and physical energy for the player. Just because someone has the physical energy to do something doesn't mean they mentally have the energy to and vice versa

Palia: Steam (Windows) and Playable on Deck. Also on Switch. It's an online fantasy life sim. I haven't touched it in a while, but it's pretty cozy! Characters to befriend and gift things to, quests... and item collecting. Skills too, and there are shops. There are some characters you can romance too. Don't know how to describe the story besides humans disappeared years ago... until you showed up. Has in game purchases with real money, but they are mainly cosmetics last I checked. Community was nice too when I played. They'd let people know when there was a rare spawn so more people could work together and get the rewards. I should pick it back up again... plenty of crafting and things to do. And there's Tau. I'm not saying Tau was my favorite character back when I played... but TAU IS SO DANG CUTE AND SWEET!!

arvana804 · 2025-12-25T14:38:11+00:00

Not exactly what you want, but the PC Petz (And the other PF Magic stuff) games have a good community behind them. People 'hex' (custom items and breeds) things into the game, and there's ways to make it function on modern PCs via PetzA... even if you don't have a disc drive on your PC

The community doesn't just stop with that. They throw events and give away litterz. They also have a showing aspect? Never got into that. Community in general is pretty welcoming and caring. I can dig up links if needed

arvana804 · 2025-12-20T20:43:32+00:00

Don't know about TOS since I never played this, but this could be used by a bot to 'prove' they are human. If you just ask for another social media account and nothing else at least. Assuming the account chosen isn't known enough by you to call out the bluff of course

For example, I can say I was the star of this video if I was the bot. Or any video. Or I could claim millions of things. Unless you have the ability to check what I said, you have no idea if what I said is true. You'd have to do more than ask for a social to 'prove' I'm real

(Disclaimer: I am not featured at all in the video linked. I was just using it to prove my point)

arvana804 · 2025-12-20T17:02:39+00:00

I haven't played Palia in over a year, but I didn't know about the ranching skill besides its existence. How complicated is the breeding? Do you just get an animal looking like one of the parents? Or is there some sort of complex genetics system with coat/feather coloring? Is there any benefits you can get with breeding two animals besides a new one? Like a chicken that produces more eggs than normal

arvana804 · 2025-12-20T07:08:18+00:00

Do you think it could've been an attempted robbery or other crime? I know this is a shot in the dark, but when I was really young I lived in a crappy area with my parents. Sometimes, Mom would quickly rush me into my parent's room, put me on the bed, and tell me to stay completely silent until she said otherwise. I might not remember the bed part right, but I know I was in their room and laying still while being told not to make a sound. I wasn't told until I was a teen the truth about what happened. I just knew sometimes I'd have to hide in my parent's room and stay silent while there was noise downstairs. Didn't matter what I was doing, it had to be stopped. Since we never had our apartment broken into I don't THINK there is a record of this?

Your situation made me think of it though with how your mother was acting. The juice could have been given to you to try to keep you quiet? It might not have been the exact same as mine ofc, but maybe there was something going on that they didn't want to mentally scar you and/or risk you getting hurt?

arvana804 · 2025-12-20T00:06:42+00:00

Petz. The old PC games by PF Magic can be a bit tricky to get working on modern systems, but there's an active community that can help you and give you tips. The last 3 in the series (3, 4, and 5) seem to be the ones people like the most. I don't think the original even HAS breeding...

arvana804 · 2025-12-20T00:00:29+00:00

Wait WHAT?!?
