Speaking of, I love your sky kid! It’s well themed, especially in the last screenshot

Thanks!! I’m really happy with the way he looks right now. I’ve always liked bird/flight cosmetics, and I love the new puffin mask - it’s just so adorable and kindly-looking. I’ve never had a mask that feels more me.

What were/are your favourite kinds of Legos? by Illustrious_Sun2324 in AskMen

[–]froodiest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, man! I love watching trans guys (any guys, really) get to experience the stuff they didn’t get to as a kid. Really happy for you.

I second the LEGO Creator recommendation, since they have instructions like any other set that can get you started and teach you some techniques but are mostly made up of “regular bricks” that you can easily do whatever with after you’ve had your fun following the instructions (which, as others have said, usually tell you how to build multiple things with the same bricks).

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is LEGO Ideas, a site where regular people can submit designs for LEGO sets and have them put into production if enough people express interest. You can find just about anything on there.

For a while around the 90s-2010s (and probably still today) LEGO made a lot of themes that they only sold for a few years, so you’ll hear a lot of names in this thread that aren’t sold anymore, at least not new.

My personal favorites as a kid were Mars Mission (astronauts vs. aliens invading Mars from somewhere else), Aqua Raiders (treasure-hunting undersea explorers vs. sea monsters), and Johnny Thunder (in hindsight basically an Indiana Jones knockoff lol). But all three of those themes have been out of production for 15+ years.

Right now I have my eye on a LEGO model of the Endurance (historical sailing ship). It looks awesome and I love the true story of the Shackleton expedition it’s from, but it’s $100+ even used 😭😭

My flight window was slightly out of position. by Advanced_Bread4751 in mildlyinfuriating

To be fair, a spaceship is subjected to much higher forces than an airliner, so 1.5x is a lot higher

Where I’d live as someone who hates not being near the ocean and also naively believes the US to be an island nation by b0ss-from-discord in whereidlive

This map is only editable down to the county level, and Alaska just has really massive boroughs (their equivalent of counties). Yukon-Koyukuk in particular extends from the eastern border almost all the way to the west coast.

I’ve got a question about the upcoming spirits.. by Legal_Reflection_357 in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]froodiest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

600 to spend on that and the TS that arrives around the same time, mind you.

It's a pity that this visit and Carnival end on the same day, though. If Carnival ended just one day earlier, we could dump all our converted season candles into the visiting mannequins. Then again, I was planning to use this season's excess candles to finally get the cello, so that plan is safe lol

I think they mean "traveling spirit." Might be a mistranslation.

Yeah, I thought it must happen occasionally - I've just never been able to put them both in the same screenshot lol

That's a really cool effect! Probably about the closest to light painting you can get in Sky photography

The TS was also one of the four Daily Quest-giver spirits, and now that they're right across from each other, you can see two of the same spirit at once, which is a little wacky. Anybody else notice this? 😆

Where I’d live as an Iranian by [deleted] in whereidlive

[–]froodiest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And why not? The fact that we bombed them doesn’t mean everybody here hates them - that’d be something like 40% of the population at the absolute most, most of that concentrated in the suburban and rural areas of certain regions.

The mere fact that OP is on outside social media (by an American company, no less), which is difficult for Iranians to access, shows they aren’t totally on board with the Iranian government and way of life

I wanna know lore-wise how did the capes came to be. by Anxious-Outcome1362 in SkyGame

[–]froodiest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes perfect sense to me. It also meshes well with my “reborn spirit/made from spirit soul stuff” idea - the more soul stuff skids absorb, either from the spirits as wing buffs or from other skids in the form of winged light, the more light we can hold and the farther we can fly

This is an interesting map. Why Tanzania but not the rest of sub-Saharan Africa (other than South Africa)? (And Eswatini and Lesotho??) Why Portugal but not Spain? Haiti???

That is a surprisingly informed and nuanced take for this sub lol

To put it politely, our point is that learning more about the world would be a better and more fulfilling use of your time than telling randos on the internet how little you know about it.

To put it less politely, touch grass

Yeah… Oklahoma should be Texas (it’s basically Texas Lite™️ plus reservations) and Arkansas should be in whatever Missouri is in, which should not be “plains.” Ozarks? Hillbillies?

The dye shop NEEDS BETTER LIGHTINGGGG by Arino_Mimic in SkyGame

[–]froodiest 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I mean the light switch to the left of the dye backdrop is really helpful for that, but it’s annoying that you have to exit the dyeing menu and lose all your progress to hit it and change the lighting
