Awesome! That'll work. Thank you. lol I can probably size half my inventory down easy, peezy, lemon squeezy and I'm thinking it might solve a big chunk of my issue. I don't know how a lot of my mates with more inventory then I rock are managing, but I am about to spend a day here soon and box the living crap out of my inventory. lol Thanks again for the help mate. Much appreciated. 👍😎

Thanks mate. I read over the link you gave me. A lot of that would apply if I were having issues logging in just in general. I can log other accounts fine with no issues. It's only on my main I am having this issue. I could have sworn Firestorm had a setting on how textures and inventory were fetched. I can't seem to find it. I don't know if it was removed or what. I also forgot to mention I can't even log in to that account with cache cleared. lol Another question I meant to ask though was what is the max amount of items you can pack up in a box? A good chunk of my inventory I can probably just simply box up. I have a lot of gacha crap I collected from back in the day I can pack up to size things down. Thanks again for the help mate. I appreciate it.👍😎

Hey mates. I have an issue with Firestorm failing to load in on my main avatar. I know it's not my set up because I do content creation and live stream outside of SL land so my hardware and internet are good. I do have over 220k in inventory, but I also know people with more then me who have no issues logging in on older rigs then mine. I can log an alt fine with only 15k items. I didn't have issues until I updated to the current version when I was forced off my previous one. So my question is this. Is there a setting or something I can tweak with how the game loads you in with either inventory and/or textures to see if that resolves the issue? It's also fair to note that this is the only viewer that I have this issue on. I can log in with Singularity with no problems. I think Firestorm just doesn't like me anymore. lol In any case thanks in advance for any help and advice you all have. Have an awesome day everyone!👍😎

I forget what it is called, but there is a fishing thing you can drop on the land like one of those fishing for lindens things that if you don't clear it properly before pulling it up then you will still have people tping to your land randomly. That's the only thing I've ever seen on here that's had people popping in constantly. Had a lot of a fun with it back in the day before I got married in SL when I was dating this jealous insane fatal attraction type chick. She'd accuse me of doing stuff even thought she was with me 24/7. So finally I decided I'll give her something to really complain about because I didn't want her to be a liar. lol I'd drop it. Go sit down and watch a movie while she'd be cracking it over all the ladies coming over to go fishing. lol Does that make me an A-Hole? It's probably makes me an A-Hole. Lmao!!!!😁😁🤣🤣

This right here mate. I'd try and play with some of the graphic settings. It's weird though because I can run FS on an older rig with a much older AMD card myself with zero issues. And one of my biggest gripes about FS is that they lock out older viewers and force people to upgrade. Which is really my only and primary complaint about that viewer. I've had versions run flawlessly and been forced to upgrade and ended up with a ton of issues over that BS just to have to sort it all out in the past. lol The best alternative to FS IMO is Singularity if you prefer the OG viewer look and style. That's my go to viewer when FS pisses me off. lol👍😎

I tried that and I do have admin privileges. I even moved the folder to my downloads folder just to change permissions and it still doesn't change. So it doesn't really matter because even with admin it still resets regardless of where I place it at. I was just wondering if there was a fix for that because I've never had a folder not let me change permissions on it until now. It's all good. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.👍😎 You actually nailed it. I didn't realize I could switch preset locations on it. I thought it had to be in the same place reshade was installed at. So I did like you said and set it to there in a ReshadePresets folder I created there for it specifically for that. I'm rock'em sock'em and good to go now. Thank you oh so very much. I really do appreciate it. You saved me a big huge headache with this one. lol👍😎

I've seen videos of people using reshade with Firestorm so decided to give it a go. However I can't save presets because for whatever reason the FS folder won't allow me to take it off read only. Anybody know a fix for this? Not gonna lie it was kind of a piss off to tweak everything out perfectly only to have it poo the bed like this. Anyway thanks in advance mates.😎

SL is struggling enough without people being reported for BS. Just find another club mate.👍😎

Twitter has been a poop show for a very long time now. I, personally hope Elon Musk does exactly what he claims he will do. Not gonna lie I've been amused by how many people got triggered over this. lol Moderation has been one sided for a very long time now. My primary gaming Twitter got locked for stating a simple fact and simply telling people to get over it because it wasn't a big deal. In other words stop arguing. Which was a tweet posted on my own page expressing my thoughts. My secondary gaming Twitter account got locked for defending Jaden Smith on his page when people ganged up on him over something his Pops did. Because I am sitting there thinking ya'll actually took time out of your day to Tweet on this kids Twitter with toxic BS? Ya he is famous, but so what. That doesn't entitle the world to be a-holes to him. So I simply said they were punks for that type of behavior and could use a good slap themselves. lol Nothing compared to what was being said to him. They went unchecked. I caught some heat for it. It is what it is. Certain groups of people can behave and say what they want and out right threaten people on that platform even. Speak against them, or gut check them rather and you catch the heat. So if Elon Musk levels the playing field then I am all for it. The reality is I should have never even participated in any of those conversations. Read them, sure. Either shake my head or laugh and move on. The only reason I even had a Twitter account in the first place was to promote my channel. So my Twitter problems are about to drop to zero anyway. At best I might do a video about my experiences, but if I do it'd be more to ask Twitter to point out the exact rule I broke on the first instance because I read all the rules very carefully and I literally broke none. In fact that was how I found out about the whole censorship issue in the first place. On the fence post about it though because I don't want to pollute my channel with politics. Even in gaming news videos I considered doing I've opted out because of things like gender and/or racial politics. I don't want that crap on my channel. So as far as my gaming persona goes I'm all about the good times. Plenty of other Youtubers out here talking about that stupid mess. I ain't about that life.👍😎

This here pretty much nails it. Anything Epic would produce would be a lot similar to Creative mode in Fortnite. They are already trying to push that whole metaverse theme with some newer game I can't recall the name of right now where you can world build in it. And to be entirely honest the issue a lot of these platforms have is that kids are being allowed on them. So I don't see this as an alternative to Second Life for a variety of reasons. It's already been proven to fail. For example I read an article about one called Avakin Life I think it's called where local chat is getting policed so hard people are copping bans left, right, and center over every little thing. In fact one user on Youtube even said it has gotten so bad you hardly see anyone going out anymore and when you do it's dead silence because everyone is afraid to speak.. It is what it is. And the reason for it makes perfect sense even because it's to protect the younger kids from predators, but here is the thing. Grown ups go to the grown up clubs. So unless you're playing chaperone for your own child you got no business hanging out at the teen clubs. Which at the end of the day that is what these platforms are. So Epic pushing out a metaverse it is not going to happen the way people think it is. If I am going to play a game then I will just play a game. As for the metaverse thing I'll stay in my own lane. They can have at it for all I care.👍😎

I think you misunderstand me or maybe I didn't articulate myself clearly enough. When I made that statement I was making from a traditional point of view. We all learned that. That's why people argue and fuss over it so much. As for what I personally learned from my parents, I learned to be self sufficient. Which I applaud your parents on because they obviously taught you the same. To many out here do not teach this. So what little you've told me about them I can already tell I have a huge amount of respect for them on that. The reason I mainly commented in jest on @Rowan Amore's post was because she isn't wrong. Women do put in a lot of work at the home especially if the man is the one out working 12 and 16 hour shifts. Now the typical man will come home tired and obviously expect a meal at least. That's been the common theme with a lot of my friends growing up when I'd stay over for the night. I come from a generational military family so if I had to label my mentality in one word then I would say I was brought up/trained with more of a survivalist mentality. I was taught not to wait around for someone to cook my food. Go cook it myself. Don't wait around on others to get things done. Just get things done. So for example say I come from work after 16 hours if my wife didn't have time to cook or simply just didn't feel good I don't say, "What's for dinner?". I obviously can see ain't shirt for dinner. lol I'm a grown arse man. I can do math. lol So you will never ever hear me ask that stupid question. lol So what I do is I let her know that I am fixing to go cook. What I will ask is two questions though. "You eat?", "The kids eat?". Only two questions I ask because I go cook dinner myself. I'll go a step further even. There was a time after she had retired military service when she asked me asked me if she could do over the road truck driving. It was something she had always wanted to try. Which I think I shocked her on and I would have thought she'd known me well enough, but she expected me to out right shoot it down as most men probably would have. I mean after all not many men would be comfortable with their wife being gone, then stuck with all the duties, and them working around other men far away. However trust and freedom in a marriage is crucial if not everything. So if I recall I am standing there cooking and she asks me and my response was brief. No questions except for one and one only. "Is that what you really want to do?", she replies, "Yes.". My reply, "Then do it.". Her expression was priceless. lol I remember she asked, "Is that all you got to say about it?". I replied back a tad sarcastically with a smile, "Would you rather we fight about it?". lol I mean later we obviously discussed it more and I let her know. I'm not going to ever tell somebody they can't do something in life they really want to do. In fact the only time I ever got some what angry regarding that situation was a few years later when she called me from the road and asked me if I minded if she quit and came back home. In fact it kinda royally pissed me off now that I am thinking about it. lol My Hispanic accent came to the suffice. I told her straight to the point. "You don't need my permission to come home woman! You no ask me shirt! You wanna quit and come home then just quit and come home!". I'm not gonna lie. I had to woo saa on that one. I don't believe in people needing to ask permission to come home. I get she was just trying to be respectful and give me a courtesy, but that's just not something anyone ever has to ask me. So we talked a bit and she made the arrangements to come home. So I do know what it is like to run a house solely on your own. I've always had a respect for the things women do at the home and in general basically. If anything the main thing it changed is I could relate a lot more to it. Funny story though. I'll explain how the transition of power in the house happened once she got home. Our girls while glad their Mother was home thought they'd be glad because they did not have to suffer Dad's inspections no more before they were allowed to leave the house. It was the first, last, and only time I ever had my behind chewed over what they were wearing. It was over a skirt the youngest was wearing who was 16 at the time. I, personally thought it was fine. However her Mother did not. lol So when she called herself having a go at me I looked at her, grinned and said (Again Hispanic accent sufficed. lol), "You know what? You no like my inspections? Then you do the inspections from now on. I, quit!". Our daughter, still trying to argue her case is looking at me for help saying well he liked it. I looked back at her, smiled real big and told her straight to the point. "Did you not hear me girl? I, quit!". Walked off like a boss. lol Thus the transition of power has successfully been navigated back over to the wife. lol Mission accomplished. Wife is now back in charge. Check. Wife is now in full on drill sergeant mode exerting her dominance over her cubs. Check. Wife is happy. Check. Happy wife is a happy life. Check. Life is goooooodddd!!!! lol The lion is now back on the rock awaiting the next orders. lol🤣 So hopefully that gives you a bit of a better idea of how I operate and function in my RL. While I may have some traditional views in how I see certain things I simply do not just up and fall in line. I do things my own way and always on the same page equally with my wife. We do things together. No one ever had to tell us or even teach us this. It simply just is. For me the way I see it is it is more of a every day we wake up is a blessing from God. Each new day you have a new mission for that day to accomplish that life gives you. It doesn't really matter how it is accomplished. It just matters that it is accomplished. Do so with love, compassion, understanding, pride, dignity, respect, and honor. Whatever duty the wife doesn't do the husband should do and pick up the slack and whatever duty the husband doesn't do the wife should do and pick up the slack. No complaints. Only accomplish the mission. That's real teamwork. These are some of the things I teach to my kids, grand kids, and now *coughs* one great grand child. To be self sufficient above all else and to understand the value of true teamwork. I teach them by example not to place their own self worth above that of their partner. If anything I teach them to place their partners self worth above their own. And after putting God and Jesus first to put and protect family above all else. God does not like vanity. Nor do I for that matter. It serves very little to no purpose in life. I mean I don't mind if they joke around. We all do, but I need them to understand to protect and to have a high value, respect, and regard of all life. All life is precious. Which brings me to my next point. Regarding the men and dirt thing you said. I had to actually laugh at that because it's hard for me to imagine. lol I'm going to say that may be a thing in your area. A lot of the men in my family are gardener's in their free time. lol It kinda goes hand in hand with the self sufficient, survivalist mentality I was brought up with. In fact in the early years of my life I spent most of it as a forest child in the woods with my hound dog named Prince. I'd say about 90% of it was spent with him and the other forest creatures who lived in the woods who were my friends. Good times.🙂

All right. Well I am sorry then. It sounded like you were having a go at me and to be honest I'm sitting here thinking, "Well fork. What the heck did I do to you?". lol🤣 I was just saying how it should be in terms of running the show equally. Duties should be shared and swapped out accordingly is all.👍😎

Not in my house and I don't concern myself with 50% of the workforce. They don't pay my bills. I didn't raise 50% of the workforce and I darn sure didn't marry 50% of that workforce. So I don't give two craps about them. We wasn't discussing that. I just simply made a joke off that one comment you made. You coming at me with BS. Like you know how I run my business. So I am letting you know now. Don't come at me with that BS because you have absolutely no idea how I rock and roll my house hold. Have a blessed day.👍😎

Well since you want to get all serious with it we can do that too. I been married just as long as you have and it's not a 50's thing. It's a life thing. Yes marriage is a team effort. Men do man shirt and a woman does women shirt. If a man works all day and puts food on the table and clothes on everyone's backs then ya the woman needs to make sure that meal is cooked and them kids are taken care of. And if they want to switch them roles the same rules apply. If they both work then they split that shirt. That's not a 50';s thing. That's a handling your business thing if you expect to stay married for very long thing.👍😎
