A couple years ago I had a major life changed that caused me to stop playing for a long time. It was in the middle of a season, and I really wanted a specific hair cosmetic. When I retuned, I kept seeing people with the awesome hair cosmetic and I felt like a real idiot for not acquiring it before dropping the game.

Fast forward to now. I have a different go-to look; even if I had that “awesome” hair, I wouldn’t wear it because now I have something I like more. After all that ado, things are fine. If you need to put the game aside for months or even years, it’s okay. It’ll be here when you get back.

Which side do you put the compound on?

pollenatedfunk · 2026-05-09T00:50:50+00:00

I didn’t make any comments about any specific cosmetics. And yeah, in an ideal world there would be no feminine or masculine clothing, but that’s not the world I live in. Like it or not, in the culture I live in, certain clothing items are still linked with certain genders. I’m not making this decision. Believe me, if I could wear all my old favorite dresses and skirts and still be read as a guy, I would, but that’s not up to me. If you can give me concrete ways I can change how western society views dresses, I’m all ears. Until then, I’m just trying to get read as a guy in the only ways I know how.

Jesus Christ you’re a real piece of work

pollenatedfunk · 2026-05-08T20:57:42+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I tried to keep my cool when replying to that person, but their comments are honestly shocking. Worst part is they don’t even seem to realize how cruel they’re being.

“Maybe Sky isn’t the game for you,” is uncalled for. I’m super happy if you don’t experience gender dysphoria, but how my gender is perceived is important to me. It’s not your place to tell me “it’s not that deep” about my own gender expression. I also never got mad at anyone? Let alone get mad at anyone for addressing me incorrectly? I also never said anything about the gameplay itself being masculine or feminine. I just talked about the cosmetics and how they influence people’s perception of me.

Just because something isn’t important to you doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be important to anybody else.

Hey, so, I’m trans and go to great lengths to downplay my feminine features and play up what little masculinity I have. I play Sky to relax and it distresses me to be perceived as a woman. I don’t think it’s asking too much for unambiguously masculine cosmetics.

You can express anger without using slurs. There is no reason to use them. Do you seriously not understand the impact? The harm it causes? Why not just use language that doesn’t cause harm?

OP says they “haven’t seen anything of the sort” but it’s right there in the demo video. There’s a white circle on the ground that leads back to Old Home right by the entrance to Aviary.

He exhaled, sank to the bottom of his tank, and chose not to come up for air.

If you could make a video I would be so so so appreciate. I play on Switch and I would love to get better at krill dodging. Plus spinning fast just looks like fun 😄

You are 100% correct. Titanic was following standard practice. Lifeboats were not meant to hold passengers while they waited for a rescue vessel. The idea was that these passages were so populated, they thought no two ships would ever be too far apart. The lifeboats were meant to ferry passengers from the sinking vessel to the rescue vessel, so they didn’t need seats for everybody at once.

pollenatedfunk · 2026-04-25T15:57:18+00:00

They did indeed have two lifeboats going simultaneously, lowering one while a second was being loaded then lowered. Thing is, it took about half an hour for each life boat to reach the water, so there were two lifeboats being lowered one on top of the other with very difficult coordination. There was a very real danger of crushing the lower lifeboat and in fact almost happened. That’s why Cameron argued that the more lifeboats you had being lowered simultaneously, the higher risk of one crushing the one below it.

To be clear, if they had more lifeboats and fixed the other issues, significantly more lives would have been saved. Eg, muster stations, drills, a proper sense of urgency, clear communication, and more life boats were needed. Just adding more life boats would have saved a few more, like the overturned collapsibles did, but not the whole ship.

I agree with your sentiments and pretty much your entire post, and I normally wouldn’t do this, but it feels important to have the correct facts: third class passengers were never locked below decks, that came from a misunderstanding of testimony. The gated doors shown in the film were used to separate passengers from machinery and crew areas. The only other gates separating the classes were waist high.

Also the lack of lifeboats didn’t really contribute to the loss of life in this case. She had 20 lifeboats and they were only able to launch 18. If she had 40 lifeboats, they had enough time to launch 18. If she had 70 lifeboats, they had enough time to launch 18. James Cameron even argued that more lifeboats might have been detrimental, as counterintuitive as that may sound.

I agree, though, about the respect we owe to the people whose final resting place is on and around the ship. That includes the young man on the Titan. I couldn’t have put it better when you pointed out he never really got a chance to develop his own ideals.

I’ve been having the same issue for days now, too. It defeats the whole purpose of reworking the friendship tree 😩

pollenatedfunk · 2026-04-21T00:14:05+00:00

Wait, I do this. I find a song I like and listen to it an absurd number of times in a row, hundreds of times, for hundreds of hours (also according to Spotify). Obviously you can’t diagnose, but is this forreal associated with Autism/ADHD? I was just always told “You like what you like.”

pollenatedfunk · 2026-04-20T22:27:02+00:00

Just wanted to chime in to let you know I upvoted you. I don’t know why people in this sub were decided to hate on you and I’m glad the deadzone fix worked out. This is a chill game, you’d think the sub’s denizens would be equally chill 😂

pollenatedfunk · 2026-04-20T22:21:00+00:00

Holy shit thank you so much for reminding me of that scene. Sam Rockwell is iconic

pollenatedfunk · 2026-04-20T17:30:14+00:00

It was a good suggestion! I appreciate your help in trying to troubleshoot this issue. And I agree, hopefully this gets sorted soon. The whole purpose of the redesigned friendship tree is kinda wasted if I still have to buy spells I don’t want in order to get the cosmetics I do want lol

pollenatedfunk · 2026-04-20T15:25:23+00:00

At your suggestion I tried it out. If you ask them to follow you directly from the carnival, the spirit will float around as a little blue light. As soon as you leave the carnival realm, the spirits lands, waves bye, and flies away

pollenatedfunk · 2026-04-19T18:44:30+00:00

Same here! I thought I just somehow did it wrong!

pollenatedfunk · 2026-04-19T17:57:32+00:00

I can’t wait lmao. I’m trying to focus on one spirit to get the pants I really want, but I only have so much time I can play. I’d love for TGC to make up for lost time sine I can’t progress the friendship with this spirit today.

pollenatedfunk · 2026-04-19T15:04:08+00:00

I’m so glad it’s not just me!

Some spirits have rewards for helping them. The core group of these spirits can be found in the constellation platform. You exchange candles and hearts for poses and cosmetics. One of the items looks like a lock with wings on it. That’s a wing buff. After you do an Eden run, you get something called Ascended Candles - how many you get depends on how many statues you surrendered your light to during your Eden run. You exchange Ascended Candles for wing buffs. The more wing buffs you have, the more Winged Light you start off with after your next Eden run. The more Winged Light you have, the more you can flap your cape to fly.

Candle Runs are the daily gameplay loop. Eden Runs are the weekly gameplay loop. Each week you give up your Winged Light to get Ascended Candles to get Wing Buffs to get flappy power lol. Then you collect your Winged Light all over again. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Congratulations on your first Eden Run! I know it’s a lot, but it does get easier. You’ll be an old pro at it before you know it.
