Sorry I don’t post here. I still play Sky, I just don’t want much to do with the community anymore. I will not be stating my reasons why, and this blog will stay up, but I likely won’t post here. I may reblog things, but that’s all.

Actually, I should specify that this isn’t a “I’m leaving forever” post. I might still post screenshots (when I have them), but I just need a break from the fandom for a while. That could be a month, or longer. It all depends on how the next few months go.

Threw the elders into the incorrect quote generator and drew one of the quotes. I have more I can draw, would you like to see them?

Sky's been really testing my patience lately. Is this about the 5 player quest? Yes. Also the constant events, hardly any breaks, and the absurd amount of IAPs and bugs. If my mental health wasn't mostly dependent on it, I'd probably quit (or at least take a really long break), but I don't like missing out on things and TGC literally never makes it obvious when or if things are going to return.

I do enjoy Sky. I also fucking hate it and everything about it at the moment. I want to like it, but it's hard to do that when it takes up so much energy and time that I could be using on other things. I'm fucking tired.

I hate that TGC still market it as a "relaxing" game, because it literally never has been. Not when they shove constant events at players and expect no one to get burnt out, or force constant socialisation.

This isn't me asking for help with the quest, I'm just talking into the void. I guess I just kinda can't bother with this season anymore, it's just not worth it for me. I don't see a point.

I don't know what the next season will be, but I highly doubt I'll engage with it unless it's super interesting.

Also I fucking hate the event ticket thing. I saved up candles before so I wouldn't have to be online every day and actually take a break. My enjoyment of the game has significantly decreased since it was added.

Edit: Not to mention how inaccessible the game is becoming to me, as a disabled person. I can hardly take part in so many things, some event currency is just off-limits because I can't do the task, or an entire season quest means that I'm unable to actually complete the season. This is more of a personal thing though, but it's worth mentioning (since we all know how "great" TGCs accessibility settings are).

Edit 2: Fuck the furniture prices, too.

I think I just need to get over my fear of missing out and just stop playing seriously for a week or two lol. Maybe longer. I have other interests and hobbies and they're being unfairly placed second to Sky, which is annoying because I like my other interests more at the moment and I've been writing way more seriously since I stopped just being interested in Sky.

Someone on reddit asked what made veterans question why they're still playing and here's what I have to say about it (dont get me wrong i love sky and buying the cool shit within it but hear me out ok)

I mightve mentioned this before but i guess heres my more in depth thoughts on it

My fox ascended.

Please ignore the people getting krilled nearby (it’s pretty loud so maybe turn your volume down, I literally jumped irl when it happened).

I haven’t been active here since the start of August 2023 but I’d just like to let anyone who’s misfortunate enough to see this post know that I just sent an email to TGC about an in-game issue (IAP cape apparently wasn’t available for purchase in the UK) as I wasn’t sure whether it was a bug or not (it was) and then I opened the game after receiving the confirmation that my email was received, and THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY RESOLVED ITSELF. So, I had to just go back and be like “sorry actually I’m a dumbass and the issues resolved”.

And yeah, that’s my first ever experience with sending an email to anyone ever. 0/10, wouldn’t recommend.

This season giving us the camera is literally the best thing for me, the one who only posts in-game screenshots.
