I know this is satire, but I don't think it's really accurate when it comes to Sky. If you only spend even 1 hour a day farming 15 candles a day, you'll end up with 210 candles for every Traveling Spirit if you don't spend it elsewhere, and you don't have to buy everything from a TS because they'll eventually return. Seasons are extremely lenient too, giving you nearly 100 more candles (about a month's worth) than you would even need to get everything. There's practically no pressure at all to spend money when basically 98% of everything is available for free.
I met someone who went afk underwater, and kept losing winged lights every once in a while because they were out of air. Also, i mistakenly went afk in forest once; i thought i was underneath a structure but was off a bit. Came back to someone deep calling and trying to help me after losing about 25 winged light qwq
i was busy doing something and had my screen open, my sky kid was afk and all of a sudden someone runs up to me, throws a pillow on me and runs away xD recorded it all
I had a friend who afked in Hidden Forest in a place they thought they were safe from the rain and were slowly dying. I held a candle over them for about two hours.
