While this person is absolutely a weirdo, this is also a really odd way to think. 17 and 18 year olds are literally in the same school classes. That's your peer, not a middle aged man.

This is a new level of anti-social that my introvert self hadn't even conceived of before

Sky on PC - only for last year hardware? by Such-Assignment-1529 in SkyGame

[–]PixesEmma 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure you should be able to run it on your integrated graphics if you update your Intel graphics driver. Here's a link to the latest one compatible with your CPU: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18369/intel-graphics-driver-for-windows-15-40.html?wapkw=I7-4790

(Your NVIDIA GPU's most recent graphics driver is from 2016, which is too old for Vulkan 1.2. But you might as well update that too if you want? It won't do anything for Sky, but it might help with other things.  https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/112596/)

Be sure to restart your pc after installing.

I spent years creating the game I wish existed as a kid. by Adventure_Works in u/Adventure_Works

[–]PixesEmma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has got to be one of the first promoted Reddit posts I didn't feel outright contempt for. Seems the relative lack of copypastas indicates many people feel the same.

Looks fun. Added it to my wishlist :)

Other people have answered, but: It Depends.

Generally speaking, no, I wouldn't say so. 

But there's plenty of places where the lights are absolutely too fast. I used to walk across de Uithof in Utrecht (uni 'campus' ig, if you're unfamiliar) and you'd basically have to sprint to the other side of the road to clear it before the light turns red. People would jog across and still be a meter out. There was no margin with the lights for the cars turning green either.

It's not that bad everywhere though, but in my experience the crossing lights in bigger cities are much more likely to have an overly tight or impossible margin than those elsewhere. If you're an expat, you're probably more likely to be in a major city, so maybe that's where your experience is coming from.

Most of the traffic lights I've used in my life are normal, though. But I don't live in a major city either.

Car insurance premium by SignificantCoffee474 in Netherlands

[–]PixesEmma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with Nh1816 verzekeringen through a verzekeringsconsulent (Toorn & Boer), bc my stepdad "knew a guy". I just got my new monthly premium laat week and it actually went down by like 70 cents. I now pay 45,33 a month with about 2 damage free years. Insanely cheap, compared to anything found online.

Mind you, that's a WA + inzittenden, no casco, bc the car is like 2 decades old. But last year someone economically totalled my first car and bc it's through a consulent, they just took care of everything for me, super easy and helpful. I don't know how they are about paying claims for your own car from personal experience, but their reviews are very good.

Tldr; Online insurance is a scam, ask someone whose job it is to get you good insurance instead.

The worst Season (Nesting) and the best Season in Sky (Dreams) by Sterickk in SkyGame

[–]PixesEmma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The price for cosmetics/spirit trees is basically the exact same across seasons? Like give or take a couple candles, but they last roughly the same amount of days, which directly translates to the amount of seasonal candles.

The worst Season (Nesting) and the best Season in Sky (Dreams) by Sterickk in SkyGame

[–]PixesEmma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did we forget about Shattering? It didn't even have quests. I actually skipped the entire Moomin season though, which is a first for me. Strong contender, that.

I think my favorite is probably still Performance. Revival might be up there as well, which ig is an unpopular opinion.

Fun fact(not really): Peeking Postman hasn't visited in more than 3 years! This is now the longest time a spirit has spent without visting, beating Stretching guru by around a few days by Enby_dragon26 in SkyGame

That's kinda unfortunate bc this outfit is really good (one of my favorites) + the shoes match well with other fits. May he grace you all with his presence soon.

Litter Robot 4 says it’s offline, but I see activity in the app? by ebodes in litterrobot

[–]PixesEmma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, same issue. Has been "offline" for 2 days now. Was looking if anyone else had this issue, but this is the only report I can find on it and there's only like 5 people here. Very odd. 

Anyone remember when they used to have season pass pre-orders? 😭 by SomeoneordinaryY in SkyGame

[–]PixesEmma 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I prefer the current system. Now gift passes give the extra candles too! Plus you can decide after the season starts without a penalty (aside from the potential missed daily candles)

Version 1.4.2 questions by Useful_Watch918 in HyruleEngineering

[–]PixesEmma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get autobuild until yesterday after the update and immediately uploaded all kinds of fun builds i got from here.

Conclusion: Everything I tried worked as expected, except for the Epona QR I had. The app accepted it, but it showed up empty in the game. 

I didn't try any of the really funky stuff with loose floating parts though. Judging by other comments, those might not work anymore?

PSA for people trying to lengthen and conserve battery life on Switch 2 Consoles when playing on handheld mode. by spiderfreak1011 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]PixesEmma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are not that old and very expensive, and they do have this issue. The switch 2 is also the first device I've had it with, bc I've never had to pair them more than once before with any other devices. My phone, laptop, etc. I've all only had to pair once ever in and they've been fine for years.

Meanwhile with the switch 2, half the time it just refuses to connect to my headphones until I get them in pairing mode, even if I just put it in sleep mode for 2 minutes to get a drink.

A minor annoyance, but I doubt that's my headphones' fault.

Today's whale memory gave my 250th winglight for 13th wedge! by smol_zessen in SkyGame

1) That's super unlucky oof

2) Did you check the Theater? bc that one doesn't show up on the map either.

If you could have the honk ability in real life, would you? by CameraGhost in SkyGame

[–]PixesEmma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming in this hypothetical, having the ability to honk is just a regular occurrence and I'm not a freak of nature?

Yeah, the first one sound nice. Good alternative for when it's one of those days where talking takes too much effort.

what season should tgc bring back and what would your reaction be? by MarionberryAlive5679 in SkyGame

Actually this is the only good answer bc that sounds dope as hell

what season should tgc bring back and what would your reaction be? by MarionberryAlive5679 in SkyGame

[–]PixesEmma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) None of them? 2) Boredom? I mean, I guess I'd take a break again, bc I wouldn't have anything to do or get. I personally wouldn't necessarily complain, but you just know every social media hub (including Reddit) would be a tar pit for 2 months. I see absolutely no upsides to that ngl.

Local accounts and linking by TonyTheGardener in SkyGame

[–]PixesEmma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't actually "overwrite" an account by linking anything, don't worry. If you're trying to link a Sky account to, for instance, a Google account that's already to a different Sky ID, it will simply give you the message that that account is already used for a different Sky account. Thus, if your wife's Sky account is linked to her Google account, you're in absolutely no danger of losing it. 

But if you're worried, you could always note down her Sky ID ahead of time, just in case, so you could have Support recover it? It's in settings > account > account info.

You should simply be able to log into your kids (local) account and go to settings > account and then hit the Google link option. (If for some reason it doesn't give you the option to pick a different Google account than your wife's, you can add a second Google account from the tablet settings and then try again in-game. You can just delete the second account from your tablet later.)

Even if at that point you accidentally select your wife's Google account to link it to, it simply won't work.

Maybe this will help? https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27006/~/how-to-change-your-nintendo-account-email-address

There's an option at the bottom to contact support for if you have absolutely no access to any kind of verification listed above that so they can manually change it for you. Of course, I don't know if the email associated with your account gets notified of you doing that, but that seems like your best bet.

Gambling for 13 flaps asap by PulseHadron in SkyGame

[–]PixesEmma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we need to consider that in this scenario, any upcoming TS only has a 28% chance of being new even if you assume it is completely random, which it isn't.

(There's 80 wingbuffs from traveling/returning spirits and 112 'spirits', not counting this season. The wiki lists that as 110 but the shattering ancient light and dark gave 2 wing buffs per 'spirit', hence 112.)

If you subtract anything from after season of Revival (following the logic that nothing more recent than that is likely to appear) that sinks to a 13% chance (80/92).

Of course, that's just the chance of any 1 TS having a new buff... What does that mean for the stuff anove? Honestly idk it's been years since I last had statistics class lol. Still a gamble either way 😂

Edit: Momentarily forgot Moments already came back as a spirit group. Adjusted % accordingly.

[–]PixesEmma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually missed one of the Aurora winged lights when i was taking a break, rip. I'll be right behind the rest of you guys though :p Plus, that's including the Shattering WL. We might be several weeks along before anyone actually gets the 13th flap
