  • Sky: Children of the Light

    You get to run/fly/swim/dive around and explore several mostly chill realms, helping out “spirits” and collecting light (one kind for currency, another to increase flying ability), and optionally interacting and cooperating with friendly randoms from around the world. There is a story to it which I won’t spoil, but there is always more to do even after playing through it.

    There are zero ads.

    There are some optional transactions, but they aren’t pushed constantly (there are changing “seasons”, and you can buy a pass for each one which will give you access to special cosmetics and the in game currency to buy them with, but there is plenty to collect without it).

    Seasons also repeat (not exactly as they were, but the spirits from them return and their items become available again) so if you missed something the first time around because you didn’t have enough in game currency, or you took a break from the game, you’ll get another chance at it (I also think items that were initially only available with the pass you buy for real money, later become available for in game currency).

    Keeping that in mind, you can grind as much or as little as you like, and there is also a limit to how much currency you can collect a day, so there’s only so much grinding you can do if you are so inclined. If you’re not that bothered about buying all the items, you can take a really relaxed approach and just play through the tasks and explore at your own pace (even learn how to play an instrument lol).

    The first time I played it a few years back, I didn’t really “get” the game, or think to look up any information about it, so was just randomly flying around and getting confused and frustrated when things were a little less chill at points, so I quit. But a few months ago I decided to give it a second chance and having actually taken the time to understand what is going on in the game, this time around I’m enjoying it a lot more.

    Assuming you’re saying that you’re a woman who enjoys sex with men (not the only option of course, but probably the only one “milder” in the eyes of a bigot than homosexuals), answering yes to all of those still makes you an enemy of the patriarchy:

    you shouldn’t love men - you should be subservient to them, you shouldn’t enjoy hobbies - you should be constantly pregnant and carrying at least one more child on your hip while making sure the house is tidy and your husband is fed, you shouldn’t enjoy sex - especially not the kind that isn’t for making babies, they save that for the “whore” (in their eyes) that they cheat on their wife with.

    So not as scary to them as a potential cock up the arse (because they truly believe the gays are after their dirty buttholes), but really just about as threatening to their “traditional” way of life as homosexuals are… I’d wear it as a badge of honour lol




  • Those, and I can also make out:

    • They tried scratching out “anarchist” in the title and replace it with “homosexual”
    • “Do you love men?”
    • “Do you have feminine hobbies?”
    • “Do you love dick in your ass and mouth?”
    • a badly drawn hitler in the left margine

    So yeah, definitely nazi alert

    Ew.

    But as I said - “either way” so my earlier reply still stands, and your actual reasoning is in fact even more gross than if it was an attempt at a not all men (it’s paternalistic, condescending, even authoritative, and ableist too - other people’s health is none of your business nor is what substances someone might use to ease their pain, and you, or any other individual for that matter definitely shouldn’t have any say in what others consume or how they enjoy themselves as long as they aren’t harming others. And no, you considering others a “burden” on the health system isn’t actually harming you, that’s just more ableism with a pinch of eugenics on your part).

    E: Giving you the benefit of the doubt I assume you’re pro choice which really makes me wonder how you settle that “my body my choice” stance with this nonsense… (I don’t actually care, that’s just for you to try to explain to yourself)

    Is this some sort of reverse not all men or something?

    Either way - I don’t think people having a glass of whatever at the end of a day to wind down (and harming no one but possibly their own liver in the process) are comparable to those who drink excessively and turn violent and even murderous all in defence of their toxic masculinity.

    (E: and no, I don’t drink, I just couldn’t care less what others consume as long as they aren’t harming others)
