So last night to escape the void thoughts I tried downloading new rhythm games because they are v No Thoughts Head Empty, Only Sick Tunes which helps a lot but!!! Instead I got sucked into Sky: Children of the Light and it's v cute
Ziri✖O
Downside: there's cosmetics locked behind pay walls and I'm cranky because one is a v ziri vibe: a fluffy little hairstyle with a cute little cap
Ziri✖O
I love the sassy little cape flips
go тo вread
it is
Ziri✖O
I just want a cute colored cape and fluffy hair but the flight mechanics aren't bad on Switch!
Ziri✖O
I love the musical little calls
go тo вread
yessss
Ziri✖O
Me, wanting to find ALL the spirits but my bitty cape flaps are not powerful enough and I got cranky
overlord
rhythm games!!!!
Ziri✖O
Got as far as the hall of victory!
Ziri✖O
Determined to come back as soon as possible with more flappy flaps to go spirit hunting
Komatsu
Oh, Sky, children of the light!
Komatsu
i can help you 
Komatsu
i'm also happy to buy some cosmetics here and there for you
Komatsu
when you lose a winged light, one of the ones you've already collected randomly goes back to that area. so you'll need to backtrack if the one under the boat isn't there anymore 
Ziri✖O
Oh!!! Okay that makes sense
Ziri✖O
Yeah the crabs and the flying lizard kicked my butt
Komatsu
Ziri, add me on discord Komonster#2696
Komatsu
the krill are sO BAD
Komatsu
they're my least favorite thing about the game
Ziri✖O
Ngl I was worried I'd lost them forever
Komatsu
so in the next area, once you activate the gate, the krill will show back up so be quick to follow
Komatsu
and nah, they'll come back to you 
Ziri✖O
Thank gosh
«Wᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇʀ»
ooh I downloaded this a while ago but never got around to trying it
Komatsu
it'a a cute game but kind of a time sink because you'll have to play every day
Komatsu
especially if you want all the things
Many Birds
it is! I really like just… being able to fly around
Komatsu
it's lots of fun that way
Ziri✖O
Yeah idk how long it'll keep me if it's an every day game, that didn't go well for me with Animal Crossing either
Ziri✖O
But it's very cute and I'm figuring it out as I go
Komatsu
one of the things with Sky is the Seasons and Days of events.
Komatsu
For the Seasons (which are like 3 months long) you want to log in every day and complete your daily activities so you can get seasonal candles and buy all the cosmetics ;~; for the Days it's mostly just cosmetics but sometimes there are fun things happening to
Ziri✖O
Nice nice nice
bean check
ONE OF US ONE OF US
bean check
yeah if you only care about some of the cosmetics you don't need to grind nearly as hard
bean check
and it usually takes like fifteen minutes tops to do the four dailies for seasonal candles
bean check
Komatsu
I'm SO excited for the in-dev mechanic where you'll be able to deep call to distract krill from a target
bean check
gonna save so many moths
Ziri✖O
I JUST HIT THE ENDING AND IT WAS REALLY SAD??? I'M UPSET
Ziri✖O
I have no winged light left bit my consolation is I have cute hair now
Ziri✖O
I mean, starter hair was also cute but still
Ziri✖O
Gunning for a cute purple cloak next maybe
Ziri✖O
Tried doing event stuff, was carried by another player but I don't think it counted and we got separated anyways
bean check
EDEN IS EXTREMELY SAD
Ziri✖O
Likely a good thing since once again, it's 2am
bean check
have you seen the Wonderful World video TGC made?
Ziri✖O
I don't think so???
Ziri✖O
But my gosh yeah in the last area I'd made a friend and we seemed to be getting close(???) To wherever the end was??? But I got knocked silly and lost all my light and was just a little mote of light floating after them
Ziri✖O
And they spent like five minutes calling for me and running in circles???
Komatsu
awww
Ziri✖O
And I kept getting a prompt to return their call and I couldn't and I was so busy trying to reply to them I didn't see a new prompt pop up until suddenly I was falling through this dark void but I could STILL SEE THEM CALLING FOR ME and I could call back but not go to them
Komatsu
yeah Eden makes you stick around until the very end for everyone
Ziri✖O
I needed a break after that!!!
Komatsu
ohhh
Ziri✖O
The zone just before I got dropped back off at home was really pretty though
Ziri✖O
Me, every time I have to go to the end zone: SPAMS CRY EMOTE BECAUSE IT'S SCARY THERE
Ziri✖O
Horrible place!!!!
Ziri✖O
Komatsu
: also the sudden, horrible realization as to what the little blue lights floating around ME had been
Ziri✖O
Thanks for the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE I guess!!!! Scared to ever play Journey!!!
Ziri✖O
Which is one of the games I've wanted to play for forever but I've never had a console I could run it on
Komatsu
yeah Eden is wild.
Komatsu
welcome to Sky!!1
Ziri✖O
Oh no I can't progress on thus quest because I need to build a shared space, but I'm missing a decoration?? 
Komatsu
oh you should have all of them for the quest 
Ziri✖O
You'd think so but it keeps saying I'm missing something 
Ziri✖O
I have two chairs, the windchill, and six lights
Ziri✖O
*wind chime
Komatsu
yeah that's what I had too
Komatsu
you have to put the chime somewhere specific
bean check
yeah once you get rock'd in Eden you're supposed to be able to still see everything and call back but the feature has been broken for a while
bean check
The pretty area after is called orbit!
bean check
if you watch the whole credits without skipping them you get an extra winged light when you're rebirth
bean check
*reborn
bean check
Oh yeah the wind chime needs to go somewhere overhead close to the spirit
bean check
hanging it from the awning usually works
bean check
On the plus side Journey is not NEARLY as bad with the emotional damage
bean check
having played it first Eden actually surprised me lol
bean check
Ziri✖O
: this is the original WaWW video!
Sky: Children of the Light | Animatic
Many Birds
I thiiiink they've put the flag for that winged light before the skip now?
bean check
and then TGC released this version and the entire fandom lost its mind:
What A Wonderful World | Sky: Children of the Light ...
Many Birds
I think Journey feels very different? still emotional but… different
bean check
Many Birds
: Oh is that true? I'm supposed to run Eden tonight so i can check
bean check
yeah journey is emotional but in very different ways
bean check
i was originally frustrated by some things in Sky as a result lol. but conversely so was my sister when she tried Journey (having played Sky first)
Many Birds
I think so… I haven't done eden much since they added injury so I'm not absolutely sure :x
bean check
Many Birds
: injury being the crawling?
Many Birds
yeah, imo Sky has the flight mechanics better tuned
Many Birds
yeah
bean check
ahhh yeah.
Many Birds
(I'm pretty sure that's what they were calling it in the survey I got for shattering, so.)
bean check
huh, i think the flight mechanics in journey are fine for what they're needed for, but that's my opinion. i admittedly get very distracted by the whooshing of my ridiculously long scarf
bean check
man i got a survey for season of Aurora and it crashed before i could finish it and I'm mad because i wanted to give my opinion!!
bean check
let me recommend musicians for Sky!!
bean check
... also sorry for spamming your plurk Ziri whoops
Many Birds
hm :|a it just felt a bit looser and not quite as tight when I last replayed Journey…? probably just a personal thing though!
Many Birds
b'-'b;;
Ziri✖O
not it's fine!! I came back to EXCITING CONVERSATION and I'm bummed I keep missing days of the season of remembrance and I'm like "noooo i want candles for cute things!!!"
Ziri✖O
also im struggling to get more winged light after I lost them all in eden
bean check
Oh I just did an Eden run and need to collect winged light!
bean check
If you want a hand!
Ziri✖O
I'd love that!
Ziri✖O
also my sproot is v cute with their new hair
Ziri✖O
(got it from one of the forest friends)
bean check
yeah that is a super cute hairstyle, forest has great hairs
Many Birds
'-'b!
bean check
Prairie and Starlight Desert complete! If we're on at the same time we can hit up some other realms
bean check
Full disclosure I do not bother with at least two of the WL in wasteland
Komatsu
i hate the wasteland
bean check
I'm getting used to it but some stuff is just not worth the trouble lol
Ziri✖O
Me, scrambling to find all the spirits
bean check
past seasonal spirits are a pain because they don't show up on the map stones (yet, that might change in a future update)
bean check
they are all listed in the fan wiki though!
bean check
there's also Sky Clock
Ziri✖O
Ohhhh! I did pull up the wiki to see who I was picking up, I found quite a few older spirits
Komatsu
yeah once you get through Eden you can see the non-constellation spirits!
Komatsu
good luck with them
Komatsu
pleaful parent 
Ziri✖O
Oh no I don't think over found them but now I'm Afraid
Komatsu
they're in the wasteland in the area with the three krills
Komatsu
it's the hardest spirit in the game
Ziri✖O
Oh no
Komatsu
you won't be able to do it by yourself
Ziri✖O
DREAD
Komatsu
it's a carry spirit so yeah
Ziri✖O
THAT'S EVEN WORSE
Komatsu
there's another carry spirit in sanctuary island that's pretty hard, but it's mostly just tedious? but pleaful part is the literal worst.
bean check
good thing to remember is you can technically abandon a carry spirit and then run back before its timer runs out
bean check
vital when krill are around
bean check
WHAT, SISTER JUST INFORMED ME YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO DO EMOTES AS A FLOATING BLUE LIGHT
bean check
TGC WHY WOULD YOU GET RID OF THAT THAT'S ADORABLE
bean check
Komatsu
: Oh lol do you mean the hongry one or the one that goes up the side of the mountains?
bean check
The flying one in the Citadel is also a pita on mobile
Komatsu
The mountain one!
bean check
yeah agreed that one is an exercise in frustration to do solo. and sometimes even with help. 
Many Birds
I think I came close to running out of time on that guy the first time… the emote felt very fitting after finishing
Many Birds
all carry spirits in gw though: why
bean check
^^^^
Komatsu
yeah the carry spiits in gw except for the ones in the ark are just awful. Why would they do that to people.
Ziri✖O
...I just found a carry spirit in the Sanctuary Islands that makes me want to cry in frustration
Komatsu
the hiking grouch?
Ziri✖O
YES
Ziri✖O
Cranky grandpa!!!
bean check
yep that's the one
Ziri✖O
Ughghhhh also I have to find a spirit out on the islands to guide and I don't recognize them
Komatsu
sanctuary islands?
Komatsu
also Ziri you need to visit the office!
bean check
space day space day
Ziri✖O
I HAVE SEEN THE SPESS DAY and immediately had to be rescued from spess day because I got left in spess
Ziri✖O
It was super cute!
bean check
yeah that was pretty funny
bean check
"beam me down, Scotty! ..... Scotty?"
Ziri✖O
Me "help help I'm stuck!!!" - every day in Sky
bean check
nah it's not just you that's the game experience
bean check
i tried to grab a daily after you logged off, looked away from my screen for half a minute, and somehow got stuck outside the clouds at the entrance to Forest
Komatsu
most of you already know this but be super careful if you get stuck in the wind paths transporting home from them will transform seasonal candles/hearts into regular ones
transporting home from them will transform seasonal candles/hearts into regular ones
Komatsu
they're still working on fixing it
Ziri✖O
Oh no
bean check
Komatsu
: i thought it was fixed???
Komatsu
i think the fix is coming out in the next couple of weeks? they just posted about it a couple of days ago one second
Komatsu
An Update Regarding the Wind Paths — Sky: Children o...
Komatsu
Feb 23!
bean check
Oh thank you!! I'd heard people saying things both ways but noticed it wasn't in the previous round of patch notes lol
bean check
what it uses ACE!!!
bean check
this is fascinating
Ziri✖O
/sneaks on to do daily skysproot quests
bean check
"[Crash] Some players may experience server instability which would cause intermittent crashes or communications errors." lololol you don't say
bean check
"When entering Golden Wasteland, some players may experience a wind wall that prevents progression into the rest of the level." my sister and i encountered this bug and it was extra funny because the wind blew the spirits away
Ziri✖O
HMM YOU THINK i say, having had nothing but communication errors almost constantly since i started
Ziri✖O
OH NO
bean check
Oh the map shrine in the wind paths also triggers it, good to know
Ziri✖O
okay silly question would anyone like to do a candlerun or a quest hijinks with me
bean check
"Skykid Sundae trophies do not unlock properly" cannot imagine finagling an entire server onto your back only to not get the trophy smh
bean check
Ziri✖O
: yeah i was just about to hop on!
bean check
Lemme get discord booted on my other computer, my phone can't handle both at once lol
Ziri✖O

Ziri✖O
I will plug my phone in so it doesn't Do The Thing like last night
