Failed adp background check

I know there are a handful of people on here who have joined me in Loner 2e discussions so I thought it worth posting that Zotiquest Games have put out two more versions of the game, but these are very specifically geared to a setting (Steampunk and Feudal Japan). My copy of Cog & Compass came today and I'm really excited about it! I've only read through it quickly, but these are the things that caught my eye.
The TL;DR of it is that there's a defined world and very clear guidance, which is much appreciated.

• There are new mechanics specific to the setting that aren't strictly defined, so it's up to you to decide how to implement them. I like that idea.
• When traveling, there are a few things to roll on as you move and if you fail the check you can roll on complication tables. That feels closer to a PbtA "Miss" to me than simply "imagine what happens next".
• In the spirit of "Everything is a Character!" you can roll up Airships, clockwork familiars, etc. and they did something SO helpful in my opinion: the random tables are linked, so if you roll once and use the same roll for Concept, Skills, Frailty and Gear, they will all make sense! You can roll or choose something else if you want to, but if you don't want to slow down the story, roll once and the tables won't contradict each other.
  • Example: 2/1 on the Steamboat tables gives you Concept: Fishing Trawler - Skills: Deep Sea Fishing - Frailty: Fuel Hog - Gear: Fishing Nets.
• There's a D66 table of complete character sheets for Creatures & Foes in the back.

Hey all. Apologies if this has been posted about before - I just joined this subreddit because as the title reads, I'm at my wits end.
Every single time I want to export literally anything - it doesn't let me.
Error after error, and I never know why. I restart my computer and bam, fixed. Most of the time.
The error reads: 2 problems (1 failure) were found with background tasks. Failed to export the PDF file. Possible cause of failure is present on spread with page number 1.
There aren't any issues on any pages.
I'm sick and tired of having to restart my computer just to export something. Every. Single. Time. It's frustrating.
I've asked for help from my companies IT dept several times before and they never know how to help me.
It isn't an issue with overflow text. There aren't any errors on the page before I export. Everything is fine, and I know this because I've gone through everything with a fine tooth comb.
It's just every single time and I'm honestly over it. What could possible be causing this? Please help.

I’ve been accepted in Scotiabank in the position as a teller, but in the part of check employer before, I filled with all the correct information, but my old job it was in the restaurant, I was working as a server, but my restaurant close like 6 months ago and they payed my in cash, so I don’t have other ways to prove them I used to work there. Is that can affect me?

Hi, I need advice or assistance. My father, a British citizen, has lived in the Philippines for over a decade. He was married to a Filipina woman. He approached me for help because he needed to renew his passport for important transactions, but upon checking, I discovered that his passport was already expired in 2008, and he failed to renew it. I'm unsure how to assist him without spending too much money. Can anyone who has faced a similar situation offer advice on what steps to take? It will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have uninstalled both repeatedly, checked and cleared cache, validated files, anything and everything. No matter what i do i cannot get any music to play in game, i can hear main menu music and all forms of music outside of the actual ingame background music. Like im playing doom without the metal at this point and its driving me nuts. Can anyone help me figure this out, any and all suggestions as i cannot find anything online with others having my exact issue. If you have any questions i'll answer them.

I'm a 27 yr old, who feels kinda lost. Granted I have my 2 kids, a stable job, a wonderful boyfriend, and a supportive group of wonderful people in my life. I just found out that I'm pregnant and the family is excited. However I'm currently taking my abuser to court and it's been getting stalled. Multiple times. What I mean by stalled is that they keep pushing it off for one reason or another. I wanna give you guys some background before I ask my questions.
When I was 11 my biological father signed his rights away, gave me to my biological mother and (at that time) my stepdad, and left my life. I remember, on my birthday, the school threw a wonderful party for me. Then my dad picked me up from school early and we drove to a gas station miles away and I saw my biological mother for the first time since I was 8. My stepdad gave me gifts and I saw my dad signing something on the back of his car and handing it to my biological mother. We eventually got back to my bio mom's house (after a tire flying off the car and spending a night in a hotel room) and got settled. We lived in an old house and they converted the dinning room into a bedroom for me. So in order to get into the kitchen from the front room, they had to come through my room. Every night my stepdad would come by and run my head. Tracing over my hair from the front of my head to the end of my pixie cut hair. At that time I thought that this is what a dad who loves their kid does because my bio dad wasn't that affectionate. 6 months after we got home from the gas station, my stepdad adopted me. Since he was 14 years younger than my mom and only 10 years older than me, it was easy to get along with him. I saw him more as a friend than a father and my bio mom was distant so he'd be the one interacting with me. When I was 12 my bio mom and adoptive father used to check if I brushed my teeth by smelling my breath. My bio mom stopped doing it and asked my adoptive father to do it, so he was the main one that checked my breath. Once he joked about if I were to do it again that he'd kiss me. I told my adoptive father that I wasn't scared of him and he kissed me. The adult activities followed a few days after that. When I was 13, I had a boyfriend who I told that my adoptive father and I did adult things, because I wanted him to know that I knew about that world. My bf (at that time), let's call him Tod, informed me that my aunt needed to hear my stories. So I told her. I remember her face going pale for a moment and then she was back to her normal self. Since I was only at my aunt's house because me and Tod were picking out me a homecoming dress, we got in the car shortly after I told my aunt. She drove us (me and Tod) home and there was a white car there. I got taken into foster care until I was 14 (only spending the beginning of 8th grade in care). I felt so bad for talking about what happened between me and my adoptive father that I recanted what I had said and ended up being placed back in the house with my bio mother and adoptive father. The adult activities continued just a couple weeks after I got home. When I was 16, I ran away with a new bf. That bf got scary aggressive so I messaged my bio mom and told her I needed to come home. She told me she wasn't going to be there if I came back. I didn't believe her because she's lied to me multiple times before. I broke up with him. My adoptive father came to get me and got me back to the house. My bio mom ended up not being there. So for the next couple years, I still went to school, adult activities still continued, alcohol and drugs were introduced, physical violence started, more abusive language came out, and all of that my adoptive father made sure of. I found out I was 3 months pregnant when I was 18. I got kicked out. Keep in mind it was only me and my adoptive father in the house. I ended up getting myself an apartment and was able to make a little money by selling jewelry and crafts I made. All that time, I didn't understand that what he did to me was wrong. So when he showed up to my apartment with flowers and a card for mother's day(even though the baby wasn't born yet), I let him inside. My adoptive father apologized. The cycle started all over again except for the drugs and alcohol because of the baby. I gave birth and couldn't breastfeed so he started smoking green with me. My adoptive father caused a huge fight that cost me my apartment so I moved towns away into a friend's house. We will call her Bee. Bee had dated and had a kid with my brother and we were really close. I knew Bee since early highschool and she knew a lot of what I went through. I made friends there and Bee had my kicked out of their house so me and my first born moved into another friends house. I got beat there so I call my uncle to help me find a place. Unfortunately my uncle didn't know what my adoptive father had done so they showed up to pick me up together. We (me, son, and adoptive father) moved into adoptive grandma's house. The cycle started again. This time he was the only one who was allowed to drink and it was behind doors because Grandma was against it. I didn't even know until after. It was in that house, he disclosed to me that he used to peek through the slats of the wall of the bathroom while I showered when I was 11, and that he was the one to leave the vibrator on the counter for me to find. Adoptive grandma bought me and my adoptive father a house that needed some work on. Adoptive father attacked adoptive grandma so we got evicted and moved into that house alone. The house didn't have electricity or running water, but we were able to stay clean and comfortable because we knew how to survive in that environment, but even I can admit that's no way to live. Drugs and alcohol were common. Adoptive father also gave me(I don't think I have to say in what way) to several of his friends. One night, a friend of Bee's came over and hung out with us after my son fell asleep. The friend had brought alcohol over and we all had a few drinks. Adoptive father because angered and the friend left. My son woke up because of the yelling so I picked him up to comfort him. I should have left him there because what happened next I still hold a lot of hate towards myself for even though my son is perfectly fine now. Adoptive father became more and more upset by the minute so I moved so it'd put space between us. I moved to where there was a table between me and adoptive father. I'm still holding my son at that time. Adoptive father comes rushing towards the table and throws it out of the way. He swung at me and I turned my body thinking that I had to block the blow for hitting my son. I didn't turn quick enough and my son (only 1yrs old) had a red mark on his chest. Adoptive father paused for a moment in shock that he hit the baby and gave me enough time to put the baby down and grab my phone. I started to call my closest friend at that time (who was aware of my life story and was on call whenever I needed a safe place) but adoptive father grabbed my phone, hung up, and held me down until I told him I wouldn't leave the house. I waited until he was asleep and call my friend again. Minutes later me and my baby were in a car heading to safety. The last time I spoke directly to my adoptive father was when I was 21, and that was because he called me and asked if I pressed charges against him for hitting the baby. I told him, no I didn't but his bio dad (who he hated) was the one to talk to the cops and gave them pictures of my bruises. He spent 2 years in prison for assault and that was his third strike at that time. The states attorney found out that I had a child with my adoptive father and called me on the number I gave the cops. 4 years ago they opened a case of incest against him and have filed charges. The trials and sentencing dates have been postponed multiple times and the next courtdate is in July of this year. The last one was supposed to be in April, however the defense attorney was sick. 2 years ago, while I was in a lot of counseling appointments, I finally understood what grooming was and that my childhood and teenage years weren't supposed to happen. At least in a good family, the situations I was put in wouldn't have happened. I found out that my adoptive father married Bee (the friend who had a kid with my brother) and that they had 3 kids together. My brother found out that that couple had beaten my niece and now has full custody of my niece.
I currently live in a home with my kids and bf. I have a job. I have kept up with every court date. I have shown up for every courtdate. Even driving hours to and from the court house because I lived 2 years in a different state. I have done everything in my power to make sure my kids are safe and away from the situation. However I feel like my oldest will need to know who his bio father is eventually. He's only 8yrs old rn. He does resemble his bio father in some ways that are only shown when he's mad or trying to hide something and it scares me every time. I love my kid and I feel horrible everytime my mind sees my adoptive father in my son. My son knows that his biological father is responsible for a scar across his middle finger because his bio father turned on a industrial fan while my son's hand was on it, but that's all he knows about his biological father. How do I go about helping him not turn into the type of person his biological father is? How would I address it later when he has more questions?

I decided that I wanted to get into rhythm games after loving the karaoke minigame in the Yakuza series. I downloaded demos of a few games for the switch and really liked the gameplay of Project Diva the most. The demo for mega mix only has 2 songs, but I perfected Arifureta Sekai Seifuku on easy and have been grinding a perfect on Romeo and Cinderella for about a week now. Safe to say I'm invested.
I have both a PS5 and Switch so I have the option on either Future Tone or Mega Mix Mega Pack. I know a big selling point of Mega Mix is modding on PC, but that's not a factor for me. Here's the breakdown of pros and cons for me:
Future Tone

• 79 More Songs than MMMP
• PS4/5 Controller is significantly more comfortable than Joycons (Don't own a pro controller)
• $10 Cheaper than MMMP when on sale
• Background Models look a lot worse
• Doesn't have Hibana

Mega Mix Mega Pack + 10 new songs are pretty good + Can be played anywhere + Better Models - More expensive - Less songs overall - Will almost never use Mix Mode
So yeah, I'm leaning towards Future tone, but I wanted to check in with the community before buying. Future Tone is also on sale on the PS store while MMMP isn't on the eShop, so that's a big factor. So, which do you think is better for me?

I'm in first year so I'm not really sure how the petitions work. I submitted a petition to defer my exam for two courses this winter term due to health issues and I had to add a few more documents afterwards so my petition has not been approved yet. But I checked acorn and the final marks for the two courses are out and I failed both due to the final mark being calculated with my final exam being a 0%. Would it stay on my record? What if my petition doesn't end up being approved?

I was buying a 50$ pack of genesis xtal and because im on phone i just decide to do it then and there in game.
Open shop, chose the item, pay through bank and then returned as failed payment, but the money is taken, i asked hoyo for refund but they have yet to reply but when i double check my receipt, it was to google play instead so i set it there and afterward just do another purchase of the same item but on PC this time. It works as usual and the payment went directly to hoyo. Got Arle in time so i was happy.
But today i am pissed, not only that i didnt received my refund of 50$ worth of genesis xtal, i also got a message from Google Play that says my refund request does not met with their policies which is a big bs to me. So now i spent 100$ and only getting 50$ worth of genesis xtal. It pissed me off that the issue didnt came from hoyo but from google play itself.
Right now im not sure who to ask for refund...

Help me build a tour guide PC for a low level (3-6) mini campaign this summer that takes place in a non-canon city. I’m thinking they became a tour guide decades ago when adventuring wasn’t paying the bills because they just weren’t that good at it. I like playing regular people with regular jobs who fail a lot. This isn’t about actually giving tours to anybody-it’s more building a character around a background. Flavor is everything, survivability/battle isn’t the focus. Don’t care about doing cool shit—I get more good gameplay out of a bar of soap than a flaming sword. Needs to use official published, non UA material.
Specifically, I’m looking for recommendations on class, subclass, basic items, spells, abilities, etc.
Feats, too, because I’ll probably take the variant human race and another feat at lvl 4.
Thanks!

I had a lot of fun writing this chapter and i hope you'll enjoy it as much as i did writing it
again a huge thanks to for helping me with my grammar and spelling

Memory Transcription Subject: Vaill, Venlil Rescue
Date [standardized human time]: November 28, 2136

The paws that went by on that ship were better than the one in the pens. No one was eaten, and no Grays were stalking around. It was like they were avoiding us. No one but me knew where they were taking us, others guessed we were being moved to another cattle farm, which I guess wasn’t far from the truth, but most were quietly stewing in what was likely our last paws. The cut from that thing had healed up mostly, and was now scarring without the proper medical attention.
I didn’t tell the others that we were going to the ‘extinct’ predators home, that would only create more panic, so I kept my mouth shut so that the people here might have some hope. Even if it was a false hope.
The cargo bay that they had loaded us into was a similar dark metal to the cattle facility, but this one was missing the old rusty metal meaning this was likely a new ship. I doubted that these monsters could clean anyway.
They didn’t communicate with us at all. They stopped feeding us and just left us in the cargo bay with a bucket of water and a crate of food. There was no sense of rationing it so it was gone within the first 2 paws of this cattle exchange.
I don’t want to be a human’s play thing, they are just as bad if not worse than the Arxur. I have seen what they did to one another… they are so brutal.. I couldn’t finish the video about them..
A few of the other Venlil around me also had scars. We were lucky to escape that place alive… or were we?
The ship began to slow and the tell tale sign of entering a atmosphere was felt. This was a feeling that I had felt before when I would stay with my father. I used to go with him on some of his colony work. I would stay on the ship so I was never in harm's way.
The ship landed and we saw the Grays for the first time in several paws. I assumed that we were on the predators’ planet, but as we disembarked we were greeted by nothing but us cattle and… an old neighborhood of Venlil design? The Grays herded the last of the cattle off, throwing or shoving them, and once we were all off the cargo bay doors closed and the engines powered back on… they took off and just left???

This didn’t make sense in the slightest… Why would they just leave us their cattle here? There weren't even any predators here to take us just, the empty space of a lost colony.
Then it clicked with me that other predators must already be here and they wanted to hunt us, they were just as bad as i had thought. I had failed these people before, but I wouldn't fail them again.. I just needed to find something I could use, anything.
I won’t let these people or myself be taken by monsters… not again.. I can’t.. I will not fail my job again.. I-
I was pulled from my thoughts as more ships landed around us. I was ready to try to protect these people but they were… of Venlil make…? This had to be a sick joke played by the predators. they had to have stolen our ships. There was no way my people had anything to do with these monsters, they couldn’t be reasoned with.

It has to be predatory tricky.
I watched with bated breath as the landing ramps touched down, ready to be proven right, but to my shock and horror, Venlil medical staff began to come out of the ships and started to load the cattle onto stretchers, and then take them to the ship board.
My head was spinning and I felt sick about what this could mean. Had the Tarva betrayed the Federation and made a deal with these things? No, that wasn’t possible. They made it very clear they would never talk with us prey, let alone make a deal. For the first time I was at a loss.
How had we been sent back to our people? We were food for the Grays yet they had just let us go. This didn’t make sense…
My breathing had become irregular and I started to feel dizzy. Nothing about this made any sense.
HOW WERE WE RELEASED.. What had Tarva don-
I fell back from the shock from all this and was loaded onto a stretcher, my breathing quickened and everything went black.

***********


I woke in a stretcher being wheeled into a hospital room. I pawed at my eyes trying to see clearly and when my vision unblurred I saw a large figure with a black reflective mask over their face and Venlil by their side, I didn’t recognize the tall one. Had we made first contact in the time I’d been gone..? Why didn’t they have a tail?

A growl suddenly came from the tall one that my translator told me meant “You’re safe now, you’re on Venlil Prime. I’m Andrew, and this is my friend Annek. She and I are here to help as much as we can.”
I didn’t say anything. For all I knew this was a dream.. misplaced hope the Arxur wouldn’t just give us back to our people. Annek couldn't actually have made it out alive. There was something that had to be happening. Had my home been taken by the humans that Arxur had spoken about, was this tall one in front of me one of them? Was any of this even real..? Was I still in a pen..?
The Venlil made slow steps to me and started to untangle my fur.
“What’s your name?” the Venlil asked me softly. If this truly was Annek, then how could she not see it was me? Had the Arxur really mangled me so much that my best friend couldn’t see that it was me.
Again I didn’t answer.
How could I just go back to normal after what I had seen? Why was it so hard to just be happy to believe the lie even if only for a while, this was my friend?
I had an uneasy feeling of being watched like in the cattle pens. The comment that the Arxur made stuck in my head, but I didn't see any ‘extinct’ predators.

As the tall thing started to walk over to me with slow uncertain steps, I tensed up and my paw grabbed the fur around my legs. It seemed to slow as I did which showed that it had at least a minor amount of empathy and wasn’t a human, and I began to relax, still perplexed as to why we had been given back. Had the Federation hit the Arxur hard somehow and got us back? Was that even possible?

“hello? Is anyone in that head of yours?” I was pulled back to reality by Andrew shaking my shoulder softly.

“…. Y-yes j-just lost i-in m-my head.” I was stuttering much more than I would’ve liked to, but it was impossible to not stutter. My voice was a far cry from what it once was deep and hoarse from disuse.

“So there is someone in there. What’s your name?”

“U-uh, I think i-it was V-Vaill…”
How was my name that far away in my own head…?
The Arxur had deprived us of anything that let us feel sapient and my mind was reeling from what seemed to be a safe place… why would they let us go? Especially me as I was on the taller side of Venlil..
Annek's ears shot up upon hearing my name. “V-Vaill? You're alive?!”
“Y-yeah, I guess I am…”
“You two know each other? Never mind, do you know when you were taken by them?” the tall thing growled.

“I-i’m n-not sure…”

“Well Vaill, I’m going to check the database for when you were last seen so we can get an idea of how long you were gone, ok?”

I flicked my ears in agreement nervously when he walked out of the room, and I was left with the Annek, who seemed overjoyed to see me after all this time.
“Vaill! You’re alive!” She hugged me tightly, wrapping her tail around me as well.
“I-I didn’t think you m-made it out a-alive, A-Annek… it's g-good to see you again.”
Lacking the energy or the will to say or do anything else, I let myself fall back into her embrace, which lasted for a few moments before she went back to brushing my fur.
After around {20 minutes} passed she had finished straightening my fur. It felt good to feel like a person again, to remember who I was, but I would never be my full self again, not after what those things had done to me…

After some time Andrew made his way back with a holopad. He tilted the screen so that I could see, fortunately it was in Venlil script so I could read it.

“I-it's been f-five months…” It had felt like an eternity in that nightmare, time slipped away from me. I’d been stuck in my own head, wondering if there was a way I could’ve done more to protect the people of my town, knowing I failed.

There is nothing left for me here anymore, the people who cared for me, gone…
I was a failure for not doing better and protecting them, I should’ve done better.. I failed Annek, she is the last thing I have.. But she deserves someone who can protect her.. She doesn't need me…
“So you two know each other?” the tall thing growled, which snapped me back to reality.
I remained silent, unsure on what this thing was but Annek didn’t seem to mind it, so it was clearly prey like us, which meant I should start calling it by gendered pronouns. They seem male, at least by Venlil standards. I was not sure if this is real but Annek was all I had left. Even if this was a dream, I would trust her.
“Yeah, we met a long time ago. Vaill and I were best friends up until he was taken by them.”
“I-I.. yeah, we met d-during s-school..”
My head was spinning, still caught up on what that Arxur had said… humans… but there were no ‘humans’ where I had been offloaded, there were only Venlil.. That meant that the humans must be here… but no one was panicking and if there were predators here, people would panic, wouldn't they?
I trust Annek, I need to ask her about what the Arxur said…
“A-Annek… d-do you k-know.. If there a-are h-humans h-here..? The A-A-Arxur s-said we w-were b-being sent as ‘p-pets’ for them…”
The happiness from Annek drained as her ears drooped. The tall one, Andrew I believed they called themselves, froze and took a step back. Why would he do that? Unless… unless h- it was…
“A-Annek?.. W-what… what…”
It looked at my best friend.. like it had forward facing eyes, which confirmed my suspicions and my fur puffed out with fear and my ears pinned back against my head. I pushed my paws on the bed and tried to get as much distance as I could. It was standing in the doorway so I had no way out. My worst fears had been proven true, the Arxur wasn’t lying, we had simply been moved to another cattle farm… one that was once my home… Venlil Prime had fallen to the monsters I wanted to protect it from.
“Vaill there's no need to overreact, the humans are our friends, Andrew is my exchange program partner, he hasn’t hurt anyone. I can’t even imagine him hurting anyone,” Annek said that… with confidence? Why would she lie for a predator? Why was her tail wagging!?! It was like she trusted this thing, no, it was like she LIKED it?!
“H-has the taint r-really gotten to y-you, Annek?”
“Vaill, the humans are the ones that saved you!”
How could she say that after what predators had done to me! I knew this was too good to be true.
Annek was blind to their trickery and yet she was so sure of herself.. I trusted her.. But not that thing behind her..
“H-how can you trust it?”
“He has done nothing to hurt me. Please, just give him one chance.” Her eyes and body took on a pleading look.. Damn it, why was she so good at that?
“F-fine, one ch-chance, but that's it.”
That same happiness returned back to her and almost fell over by the door where it caught her.
She may not see it, but I do, I will atone for my mistakes by proving that these humans are up to something. It shouldn’t be hard, I just need to make it to an exterminators office. ‘Till then, I'll play along with it’s game.

DOMESTIC PRESALES
Back to Black EA+Thursday Comp: $0.34M

• abracadabra1998 ($0.29M EA+Thursday comp. Yikes bikes (May 12).)
  
• crazymoviekid ($0.28M Thursday comp. Not great. Let's say $.3M (May 14).)
  
• filmlover (Looking at the sales even for the early shows on Wednesday it's on the anemic side (and nothing that's likely to boost it over the next days). Feels like we're about to see how low a biopic about a famous musician can go (May 10).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($0.45M EA+Thursday comp.)
  
• Rorschach (Zero tickets sold on Thursday and only four on Friday. I don't think I'll be missing much (May 13).)
  

IF Thursday comp assuming $2M for keysersoze123: $1.82M

• abracadabra1998 ($1.23M Thursday comp. My model has been pretty good for animated/family releases in the past, hence why every comp is so eerily similar. Still, looking at others' numbers and how much lower mine are, I am wondering if summer break might be something to consider here; from what I am aware, here in Minnesota most school districts don't start break until June (May 13). Hoping for some real acceleration this last week but not looking good (May 12). One week out, not impressed in the slightest (May 9). Rising against comps as expected, due to the short release window, but I am still failing to see anything that suggests the numbers given by some other outlets (May 5). The release window for this is way shorter than all these comps so those numbers will naturally go up. Decent growth in the last three days (May 2).)
  
• AniNate (I'm gonna guess that Nick IP spot for IF this morning ratcheted up interest, Fri-Sun sales at Canton now close to 200. Also of those 200 about 50 were for XD. Not the usual overwhelming presale split but not insignificant for a kids movie also playing on two standard screens (May 13). 45 sold at the five nearest Cinemarks for Thursday previews so far, so yeah there's evidently some kind of regional variation (May 13). I definitely haven't seen as much of a rush here with Garfield as with IF (May 11). I dunno, I have no comps but I feel like local presales is a pretty sizable haul a week in advance for an original non-Disney kids movie (May 9). I did see a surprising amount of single sales looking at IF charts (May 1).)
  
• charlie Jatinder (Hmm. So no real Regal impact it seems at katnisscinnaplex's theaters (April 30).)
  
• crazymoviekid ($1.95M Thursday comp. Definitely looking around $1.75M Thursday for now (May 14).
  
• DAJK (Selling pretty well so far here (May 4).)
  
• el sid ($2.4M Thursday comp. Friday up so-so 116% since last Monday. I chose Jungle Cruise, Dolittle, Elemental, Minions 2 and Sonic 2 as comps (always counted on Monday of the release week for Friday) and the true Friday number for IF would be 6.6M at the moment. In this case the comparison numbers were very similar, around 6-7M. Overall it was a boring counting today which lasted too long for so few action. And judging from some random samples Garfield also saw no significant jumps (I also didn't expect much, it's still too early IMO). Thursday up 92% since last Monday. I hoped for a bit better jump till today :( but it's also not too bad. So for Friday no big numbers but up 75% since last Monday (and the jump must have happened pretty recently) (May 13). Up 73.5% since Monday (where it had 143 sold tickets). Best sales in California, not doing too bad between the coasts. The number today is ok to me (May 12). Not really signs for a breakout for Friday so far, but very solid. It will not really get 4-6M Thursday e.g. compared to Migration but from most comps the number could be pretty decent (May 7). Looked good for the film, both on Thursday and on Friday (May 6).)
  
• jeffthehat ($2.07M Thursday comp.)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($1.98M Thursday comp. Thinking somewhere in the 1.2m-1.5m Thursday range despite a couple of higher comps (May 14).)
  
• keysersoze123 (I would say it should hit 2m previews or even more if walkups are strong. OW probably in mid to high 20s for now. Its Friday sales are not that much higher than thursday for crazy IM like say Panda 4 (May 14).)
  
• RichWS (15 screen theater near me is giving IF peak Marvel number of showings. I know it's short and the market is quiet, but damn (May 14).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($2.39M Thursday comp. Really not much going on. Don't think walkups will be super strong either (May 13). Not much growth (May 10). Pace is collapsing a bit. Continues its downward trend (May 7). After a strong start, this has cooled off quite a bit (May 4).)
  
• Tinalera (Pretty quiet Vancouver and Calgary area (May 13).)
  
• vafrow ($0.5M Thursday comp. It's going up, but slowly. The thing that hit me looking at the numbers is that the most popular format so far is the VIP theatres, which are 19+. With such low sales, you can't read too much into anything, but it kind of speaks to how this isn't grabbing the family crowd (May 14). Some marginal movement, but we're running out of time for this. At this stage, I expect my market is an anomaly, but I still hope and expect it will close the gap in the final few days (May 13). Still nothing (May 12). Still nothing happening. I did check Friday sales, and it was a lot stronger with 51 tickets sold. That's better, but still not tremendous. I also checked the wider radius, where it's pretty much exactly where Haunted Mansion was, which hit $3.1M opening (May 11). Still nothing really happening here (May 10). Since the last update, they released full showtime sets, and it actually lost two showtimes rather than gain. From the sound of it, it might be doing better in other Canadian markets, particularly BC (May 8). Numbers are still really low, making the standard track fairly useless. I did do a larger 100km radius track, encompassing the broader southern Ontaro market (~8M population, MTC4 being about 70-80% of the market). Even against Haunted Mansion, which underindexed here, it's not doing well (May 4).)
  

The Strangers: Chapter 1 Thursday Comp: $1.12M

• abracadabra1998 ($0.88M Thursday comp. Not a good update at all but I am wondering about the summer break deal here as well. For Back to Black it shouldn't affect it much I would think (May 13).)
  
• crazymoviekid ($1.23M Thursday comp. Weird comps. Let's go for $.5M-$.75M Thursday comp.)
  
• el sid ($1.6M Thursday comp. From what I saw, it had an ok jump till today but the jump till Wednesday will be way more important. But so far, decent presales (May 14).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($1.4M Thursday comp. We could have a preview battle on our hands! (May 14).)
  
• Rorschach ($0.48M/$6.03M/$4.16M Thursday/Friday/Thursday+Friday comp. Tarot had more tickets sold for Thursday compared to its Friday showings when I checked the Monday before it came out; hence, why the comps are so all over the place at the moment. The Thurs + Fri comp does appear to be a reasonable middle ground (May 13).)
  
• TwoMisfits (TMobile deal for May - $5 ticket to The Strangers Chapter 1 next Tuesday (May 9).)
  

Furiosa Thursday Comp assuming $5M For keysersoze123: $4.31M

• abracadabra1998 ($5.46M Thursday comp. GxK obviously really propping the average up but for now I could see that settling at around $5 Million, still good pace! (May 12). Really good stuff in this market (May 9). Reallyyyyyy good day 1 here. I want to note that: NO I do NOT think preview numbers will be that high; it's just highlighting the fact that this is likely a movie that will be running hot in my market, as cinephile blockbusters usually do. Next update I will have T-14 comps, which will be a lot lower due to the short release window (May 8).)
  
• AniNate (Skimmed through ThuFri and Valley View (Cleveland vicinity) has sold roughly 60 Furiosa tix so far while Tinseltown (Canton) has sold 40. I'm guessing the upfront audience does lean more toward the urban/cosmopolitan sensibilities (May 9). Presales show there's definitely some hype for this. Regal gonna irritate trackers again, offering no upcharge IMAX for Furiosa (May 8).)
  
• Charlie Jatinder ($3.05M Thursday comp.)
  
• el sid ($5.8M average Thursday comp (without Exorcist 2) (May 12). Furiosa continues its strong performance in "my" theaters. The movie yesterday had already 1.310 sold tickets (for Thursday, May 23). Up 15% in ca. 24 hours which isn't bad at all after the first rush. Already comfortably in front of The Fall Guy's final sales (it had 1.071 counted on Thursday for Thursday) and almost on par with Civil War's final sales (1.357) and also the Apes finally had not more than 1.657 sold tickets in my theaters (May 11). I also can't complain about Furiosa's presales in my theaters, not at all. Already 1,138 sold tickets (in all of "my" 7 theaters) for May 23. 14 days left. Promising start. Civil War on Thursday of the release week for Thursday had 1,357 sold tickets and The Fall Guy finally had 1,071 sold tickets (May 9).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($3.51M Thursday comp.)
  
• keysersoze123 (It has way stronger sales than Garfield and that is expected. I am thinking of 5m previews for now (May 14). I think this is a solid OD presales. With a short PS window its probably looking at 5m+ previews (May 9).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($4.44M Thursday comp. Keeps climbing at a strong pace (May 11). This continues to grow at an excellent rate (May 10). Really strong day 2. The short presales is for sure a factor (May 9). Not seeing much of a breakout. Still pretty solid start to presales (May 8).)
  
• vafrow ($2.9M Thursday comp. It had a good day (May 12). Mediocre day 2 (May 10). Not the hottest start. IMAX is the format of choice though, so, ATP will be high (May 9).)
  

Hit Man

• vafrow (Getting a theatrical release up here in Canada, and early signs are that it might get a pretty decent screen count. Not super wide or anything, but a pretty decent amount for a weekend that has a lot of other releases (May 14).)

The Garfield Movie EA+Thursday Comp: $2.24M

• abracadabra1998 ($0.76M EA comp and $1.19M Thursday comp. Still not really accelerating, and the EA is falling against comps (May 12). Good EA numbers, but many of these comps were PLF-only EA, which this is not, so I think the ATP will be quite lower and that should be adjusted for (May 9).)
  
• AniNate (I definitely haven't seen as much of a rush here with Garfield as with IF (May 11).)
  
• el sid (The very even sales are a good sign (May 7). For Sunday, May 19, I can already report that also in my theaters it looks very good for Garfield. They will for sure add shows soon. It has so far only 1 show/theater and the shows are almost sold out, between 1 and 4 seats are still available. So my guess still is that this movie if it's not totally bad (and first reviews here were quite positive) will become a (big) hit. Seems not much on Thursday but it's a step in the right direction (May 6).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($2.52M EA+Thursday comp.)
  
• keysersoze123 (Its definitely weaker than even Elemental. That said these movies tend to finish strong and so I am not writing it off so early. Just that the long PS window is irrelevant for them. They could rather start presales like a week before release and it would be all the same. Meh. We have to wait until next week to gauge where its going to finish. It has very low ATP as well and actual would be even lower as its going to see tons of kids tickets (May 14). Early shows are regular digital shows at 1PM this sunday. So ATP will be very low. I think 500k ish at best. Preview let us see how things go in the final week. Presales at this point are almost non existent (May 13).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($2.14M Thursday comp.)
  
• vafrow ($0.4M Thursday comp. Comps don't paint a pretty picture though. EA shows are doing okay (May 11). Still no sales for my core sample for previews. But I did the larger sweep, which shows the interest right now is the Sunday early access shows. Looking at sales patterns, it's mainly blocks of 3/4 tickets, so likely families grabbing some. It's worth noting that the May holiday in Canada is the weekend of May 17-20th, not the weekend after with Memorial Day. I can see families prioritizing getting out the holiday weekend when they have more time (May 4).)
  

The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Re-Releases (June 8-10)

• BoxOfficePro (Fathom Events has also announced that select Regal Cinemas will present the films in 4DX on June 22/23/24 for Fellowship/Towers/Return respectively (May 14).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex (Up to ~1,400 shows now with new locations picking it up and others adding a second showing. LotR1 has sold 831 seats OD, LotR2 sold 715 seats OD, and LotR3 sold 735 seats OD. For comparison, Phantom Menace didn't break 800 tickets until T-3 and we're still over a month out. JW3 comp is currently around 9m (it was at 1,670 tickets sold at this point!) (May 6).)
  

Inside Out 2 Average Thursday Comp: $7.22M

• AniNate (I do see a few 1-2 spots for Inside Out on Saturday. Think some M-F workweek adult fans might be putting down money for that (May 14).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex (Already at 180 shows for previews in my areas and still has a few theaters left to post. For comparison, Godzilla x Kong finished with 197, Kingdom of Apes 190, and Kung Fu Panda 205 (May 14).)
  
• keysersoze123 (Too early to judge presales as ticket sales just started early this morning. Families dont book tickets on weekday mornings. Wait until evening today to judge it. From a release perspective its way bigger than all animation movies seen recently including Panda 4. Easily the biggest I have seen in a long time. Only movie which is not comparable is Mario but that was not just a family flick (May 14).)
  
• Porthos (On the Saturday of release weekend (ie NOT EA) there is a special event screening for IO2: INSIDE OUT 2: FUNKO FAMILY EVENT! (2024) Sat June 15th. Might boost the OW slightly, depending on how wide this event is and how much more these tickets will presumably cost (May 11).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($7.22M Thursday comp. Well, I can't really tell if this is a breakout or not yet. Looks very good especially in the first few hours. These are probably terrible comps, but might as well try something (May 14).)
  
• TwoMisfits (I'm kinda shocked at the opening set from my Cinemarks... 2 screens (1 PLF, 1 not) and 6 showings at my PLF 14 for Thursday (and 11 showings on the same screens once it runs full day - 7 PLF b/c 1 is 3d on the reg screen, 4 not)... 3 screens (.75 3d, 2.25 not) and 9 showings at the non-PLF 12 for Thursday (and 12 showings on 2.25 screens once it runs full day)... So, 2 and 2.25 screens for the weekend presale sets... Disney must be charging a huge % for themselves b/c this is an Elemental opening set at my PLF...a little more generous for Thursday at my non-PLF, but then they too drop to an Elemental opening set after the adult Disney base Thursday rush... (May 14).)
  
• YM! (n fairness it's only been an hour but yeah sales are softer than I expected. However, it is a month out and will largely skew more towards kids than say TLM/Across so wasn't expecting a blitz like them. Here at Marcus theaters are going all out for IO2 with it having the lion share of PLFs with it getting both screens when there is two PLFs with tentpole like levels of screens (May 14). Was taking a look at Marcus Cinemas to see that they have preloaded Inside Out 2 showtimes which seem to start at 3:00 pm on a Thursday. It seems like Marcus is going all out on it as judging from showtimes it's taking away all of Bad Boys’ PLFs in that theaters that have two+ PLFs are giving all to IO2 (May 11).)

Note: I have removed most tracking data that has not been updated for 2 weeks. I think there is value in keeping data for a week or two but at a certain point they start to lose their value and should not be treated the same as more recent tracking data.

the whole manager search saga is a cover for mbappe, stretching from the “sacking” of tuchel by the board.
think about it LOL. why would our board fail to land every single manager we’ve approached, especially in the way rangnick pulled out in the last second, and now we’re rumoured to keep tuchel? it’s clear. mbappe is coming. reuniting with his former coach. and rangnick is afraid of big personalities after his time with ronaldo.
it all makes sense now. check out the colour of the shirt he was wearing in the farewell video as well. that’s literally the same shade as our home kit isn’t it?
not to mention what eberl said. “we’ll open doors no one expected to be opened.” ik the interview was about managers, but why would it be if we were never looking for managers in the first place? the whole manager search saga is a cover for mbappe, to trick fools like fabrizio romano.
i have no doubt. mbappe is coming.

okay so this is gonna be a long one sorry in advance! so dec 2022 my ex best friend decided she was done being friends.(so much more happened with her sabotaging my life but that would be better for a different subreddit lol.) i ended up asking for all my belongings and she refused. i kept texting once a day and then she said stop contacting me and stop defaming my character on social media. i made a post about her but never named who it was, and it was all factual so wouldn't even be defamation. So i sent her the definition of defamation and one text saying "no false statements were ever said. so no im not defaming your character. good try though!" and next thing i know i was going to court over electronic harassment. flash forward to aug 2023 and she dropped the charges and it was dismissed. flash forward again to last month april 2024 and she dms me on a burner tik tok account. she basically said you need to get over it and stop posting abt me,(ive actually only made 3 videos and the last one being in november, also never name dropping her.) i never meant for things to go that far yada yada bull shit. I just responded with "You quite literally sabotaged the hell out of my life and made my life a living hell. A good decent person would NEVER do the things you did to someone they ever cared about. Do not ever contact me again." and what do you know, she responded!!! so i filed a police report because i will not take her emotional abuse and feel like she needs to know i am absolutely serious. well the officer called me and said that he talked to her and she wont message again, and that they wont press charges because electronic harassment has to be constant or threatening. so why was my single text enough for charges to be pressed and not hers yk? but i didnt care because i just want it legally documented incase more stuff happens later. So heres where im extremely upset. i work in child care and often use a site online to pick up extra gigs often. In august 2023 they pulled my background check and denied me access!!!! i have tried re-applying so many times and its always no. ive lost out on sooooo many opportunities and money. if electronic harassment needs to be threatening and mine wasnt, are there any grounds that this could completely come off my background check? im just so upset that even with it being dismissed it comes up & makes me look like a potentially crazy person. please help! im also in utah so if that helps with knowing what laws would be accurate. thanks!!

I (25F) and my husband (32M) have been together for almost 7 years. We have had a lot of ups and downs due to getting married at a young age (different religions and cultural backgrounds) but have seemed to make it work this past year without any huge issues.
My sister has been telling me to buy a house and I have been thinking about making major life decisions now. I brought it up to my husband and he initially complained that he didn’t want to take out a loan due to religious reasons. We obviously don’t make enough to pay a house upfront either. I let it go and that was that. I got a temporary stipend at work due to taking on more of a workload and have been able to save some extra money on the side that I’m hoping will help as a down payment to a small and humble home. My credit score is good and I am just scared to take the leap of faith and call a realtor. Here comes the next conversation. My husband let it slip out that he sent money overseas to buy some land and that his family wants him to pitch in to buy an apartment in one of their cities to use as a family vacation home (of course we would be able to use it if we go there). I was taken aback because he never mentioned these financial plans (mind you he’s been sending thousands but not too much) meanwhile I pay all of our bills and half our rent . I surprisingly was not too upset over this but silently accepted that my home buying dreams will have to happen alone. A few days later I told him if he would be willing to sign a post nup denying any right to a future home if we were to divorce. In the past he usually would shrug it off and say he will never take anything from me. However this time, he got upset and said we shouldn’t be married anymore if I was thinking that way and he wouldn’t sign a post nup. I was frustrated and mentioned how he has been making his own land owning plans overseas without including me instead of building a home with me here. He then asked what I wanted from him and how much money he should contribute but has not mentioned any true action plan past that.
We live in a tiny 600 sq foot apt and he never fails to mention how he hates doing laundry at the laundromat and how he longs for a dishwasher … and yet I see no serious action plan. I think as I wrote this that the reason why I haven’t called a realtor is because I don’t want to work hard alone and have him rejoice in it without helping me. It would be nice to have support from my spouse instead of my sister (who said she would add to my downpayment if needed and co sign). Even my brother in law has offered to phone his realtor for me .
Would IBTAH if I consult a realtor and lawyer and draft a post nup without him?

Just a little background on this guy I currently role-playing as and what are your thoughts I went real into depth with this guy so please gimme ur thoughts
Jerry attricks (unfortunate name I know) was born in liberty city and raised in vice city by his loving parents jerry was a simple man with hopes and dreams. What was that dream. Well at vc university he studied the culinary arts. Jerry always wanted to be a famous chef however for some reason he especially took an interest in the most important meal of the day breakfast. Day in day out that's all he would think about " what's the next biggest breakfast item" he thought to himself . However while he was thinking that he burned his hand on the stove leaving no feeling in his left hand as well as not fingerprints on that hand. But this didn't stop Jerry he was constantly making up new recipes all of the time. Although he had yet to make it big he realized he needed to go to the big city in the other side of the country... LOS SANTOS . Yup that's how he's gonna make it as the next biggest breakfast exclusive chef . After a few years he had saved up enough money to start a breakfast only restaurant open from 1 AM to 12 AM however his first business venture into the culinary arts were unsuccessful and widely forgotten . Downtrodden and beaten he continued his research . Then something snapped he realized he has been looking at breakfast as a whole not the individual ingredients so he stripped everything down and came to the conclusion that milk was what made breakfast breakfast bread was bread cheese is used in anything these days eggs are nothing special bacon is used in burgers for lunch nowadays but milk what else is milk used for almost nothing accept for putting in stuff breakfast is the only time it's ever consumed by itself this was Jerry's new mission give milk to the people of Los Santos milk was the city's thirst that needed to be quenched on that day Jerry grabbed what little money he made from his failed business bought a white van installed a walk in refrigerator in the back of it and became Jerry attricks san Andrea's only milkman

Background:
Due to escaping an abusive situation, my mother has unsteady work and wouldn't pass a background check due to an unresolved court case filed by the abuser. DHS, women's crisis center, etc are aware of the legal situation and approve of our situation at the moment and are helping to resolve it.
She is on assistance and currently staying with a family friend for no rent in exchange for labor. This means there's often no formal pay, and when there is, due to the nature of the business, it is sporadic. The abuser also ruined her credit.
She works hard and wouldn't destroy the place, just needs a couple years to resolve the case. The people she is living with currently would all testify to her being a wonderful tenant. No problems with drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc.
Question:
Can I use my salary income to lease an apartment, with the expectation I would pay every month, not her, but she and my two minor siblings would live there?
My husband also makes a similar salary, and we would both cosign if that's how it could be done. We both have >720 credit.
I live in the same state, but a different city.

Here's an idea for a mod.

• Persistent online world
• You spawn in one of the cities
• You can hunt animals for resources, chop tree's for wood, mine ore etc.
• You can sell there materials to NPC's for gold, or sell them to other players
• With your gold you can rent out one of the houses in a city
• Each city has a bank, you deposit your gold in your bank account
• Rent is taken out every 12 hours (real-world time), if you fail to pay rent you get kicked out.
• There is a skill tree for each profession
  • Blacksmithing
  • Tailoring
  • Woodworking (create furniture)
  • Alchemy
  • etc
• If I am a tailor I might need certain items that only a blacksmith can make (e.g. belt buckle)
• Players rely on trading with other players to get materials they need
• Each city has a marketplace, you can rent out a stall (daily cost) and hire an NPC (daily cost) to sell your items for you, so you can still make money while offline.
• You can also rent out a empty block of land outside of the city where you can build your own house or place of business.
• For example, I can save up enough gold to rent a block of land outside a city and build my self a lumber mill, I can hire some NPC's to go out and chop wood and cart it back to the mill where they will process it into wooden planks and other timber materials, then I can instruct the NPC's to deliver the processed materials into the city and hand them over to my vendor NPC.
• Business is picking up, I make a lot of gold, more and more players are joining the server, rental properties are starting to run out. I rent some more blocks of land and build some houses and rent these out to new players.
• There are NPC service workers such as guards that patrol outside the city to kill wild wolves.
• We as players are unable to fight, so wolves kill us easily.
• There is a tax system where each resident has to pay a daily tax that pays for NPC service workers (such as the guard)
• Players can vote on the tax rate and where the tax money is spent.
• For example players decide to lower the tax rate, this means there's less funding for guards, in turn the wolf population starts to rise and more players die to wolves.
• Other areas tax money can be spent is welfare, new players get a daily pay-check to help them get started.
• When you rent one of your houses out to a player you both sign a contract which looks something like this:
  • John Doe agrees to pay 12 gold per day to Bob Smith
• If John misses 3 payments in a row then Bob has the option of going to the property and removing all of Johns belongings and placing them outside in crates. The door lock is also replaced, now Bob can find a new tenant.
• John will have to go bring a cart to haul away his crates of belongings if he wants to move them into another property.
• John is sent a letter from the court saying he owes Bob 24 gold and the payment is due in 4 days, if he fails to pay he will be arrest by guards and put in court where other players will play the role of jurors. John will have to use VOIP or type out his defence and try and convince the jury to extend his payment due date, otherwise he goes to prison.
• Optionally instead of all players voting like a democracy, one player will be king and they will choose the tax rates.
• Each server has a list of laws that the king can change.
  • Tax rate %
  • After how many missed payments can a Landlord evict the tenant
  • How many guards are currently hired
  • Welfare pay-check
• If the community are not happy with the king they can cast a vote to dethrone him. Once this happens an election period start that lasts 3 hours. In this period any player can register them selves as a candidate to become king, they have 3 hours to go around to each other player and sweet talk them to convince them to vote for them.
• After 3 hours the vote is cast and a new king is in place.

Buckle up. This ride is a little crazy. My son was hired by a DoD activity and required a Secret clearance. They granted him an interim clearance which gave him access to most things he needed to do and places he needed to go. After a couple of months of waiting for the final clearance determination, his supervisor queried security and it came out that they had marked his clearance No Determination and stopped working on it. It turns out they never should have even given him an interim at that point. So they told him to turn in his badge and go home. He was put on administrative leave. After a month of paid administrative leave, HR said they can’t keep paying him if he can’t get a clearance and they would have to terminate him. His supervisor (who liked him very much and wanted him back in the office) tipped him off and advised him to resign so he wouldn’t have a termination on his record. Son followed that advice but HR said he couldn’t resign once the termination was already in process. So he got a termination letter. From what we could gather (none of this was communicated to us directly) DCAS requested verification of sponsorship from the activity and the security department failed to respond. So that’s why DCAS couldn’t proceed with the clearance investigation and marked it None. For the sake of full disclosure, he did admit to smoking weed in college (within a year) and he did check himself into a psych facility for a week from which he was discharged and hasn’t had a problem since; but he was never told that he was denied a clearance. Son emailed the CO of the activity for help, naively thinking he would want to correct the failure of his security department. But instead, Son ended up getting his final SF-50 saying he resigned, in contradiction to the termination letter.
So after three months, he applied again. Now his clearance is pending a suitability evaluation because, get this, he answered yes to the question “Have you ever been fired or quit because you were told you were going to be fired?”
If you made it this far, I applaud you.
If they decide he’s not suitable because of the termination/resignation that was completely their fault, what recourse do we have?

Hey guys! So I applied as a transfer student to UF Heavner School of Business and attended Fall of 2021, Spring 2022 and Fall 2022.
Beginning in Spring of 22 I was in probation one and in Fall of 22 I was in probation two. I was not meeting the requirements. It wasn’t that the material was particularly difficult, more so I was dealing with undiagnosed mental health issues. I suspected it to be undiagnosed adhd. So far I’ve only been diagnosed with depression but I still think it’s adhd. My life has been in a steady decline since COVID hit and my routines and any structure they provided were destroyed. As of now, my life is still in shambles lol, but I’m trying to get it together.
Once I failed probation 2, to be honest I just dipped. Didn’t enroll or figure out what’s next in depth, just superficially came to the conclusion that I needed help and once I received it id hopefully be able to complete a petition and get back to school.
Last week I set up an appointment with an advisor for this week, I just checked my email and it was canceled. They stated that since I haven’t been enrolled for two consecutive terms I’d have to apply for readmission. Does anyone know if that’s the case even if intend to do a retroactive medical withdrawal?
Sincerely,
Someone who is on the verge of a mental breakdown and is losing all hope because she really just wants to get her life together again

Platforms: Game Boy Advanced/DS/DSi
Genre: Action, sidescroller, robot/mech/creature(?)
Estimated year of release: 2006-2012 (roughly)
Graphics/art style: 2D/pixelated side scroller. Very grey besides main character. The closest game style I can think of is Mega Man ZX in character size and pixel style, but the character's designs themselves don't look similar. The game felt made for an older audience, as in not a game like Kid Chameleon that has a "cuter" artstyle? Kind of hard to explain but it didn't have that kind of look to it
Screenshot from Mega Man ZX. Very similar looking but the main character from my game isn't as vibrant and the background was much flatter and less dynamic
Notable characters: a main character (almost positive NOT a human or not seeable as one) that has possibly three forms that changes I believe through item pickup maybe? One form that was slimmer in design had a whip/tendril for going over obstacles, another one was clunkier and more square, can't remember the rest (I at least believe there were three). I swear the colors were like light pink, green, and possibly blue? A game called Metal Mutant has a VERY similar character function as to how I remember the character in my game, I had to check and see if there was another in the series on handheld because it fits really close to my description. If Metal Mutant looked a lot more like Mega Man ZX in scale and sprite size and released past 2006 it would be the game I'm thinking of which is very confusing
Character from Metal Mutant. Besides the Dino variation, the other two are incredibly similar to my memory of the character from my game
Notable gameplay mechanics: Character that changes between different types depending on needed situation, such as a whip for obstacles, or a tankier body for needed defense. I can't remember a single enemy which is annoying, but I still believe it was somewhat of an action game like the Mega Man series (don't think its that franchise tho, not from what I could find)
Other details (IMPORTANT): Is not these previously guessed titles: A Boy and his Blob / Metal Mutant (VERY similar tho) / Castlevania III / Monster Tale DS / Shantae series / Kid Chameleon / Gunstar Super Heroes / Robots for GBA / Mega Man ZX or Advent / Act-Fancer: Cybernetick Hyper Weapon
This is game is so fuzzy in my memory and has always been one I've wanted to remember but just can't rack my brain on it man. I can't remember which platform I had it on specifically but it was a handheld Nintendo game for sure. I don't remember either whether the main character was a creature or a robot, just that it would change in design and function between possibly three different iterations. The game was very grey in level design (at least from the chunk I can remember) but the character was always a specific base color possibly along with a meter for the current form
