Cinnamon Mistwood Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Usually simple is best. Easy. Predictable. Point A to point B on the straightest path possible. Get things done with the least amount of drama. But I'd be lying if I said I don't occasionally revel in absolute chaos. The excitement of it, anticipation, puzzling out and untangling the threads of turmoil and bedlam - just getting right in the disarray and bedlam and rolling in it until I'm enveloped. So, I would live simplicity and visit complexity, but I am much more passionate about the chaos. How's that for a non-answer?

Canoro Philipp Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 I found myself leaning towards complexity, its a passion to enjoy the details, where everything goes, I like complex things. some are more inclined to the elegant space of simplicity.

Conifer Dada Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) If we're talking about SL avatars, then simplicity is best. I don't mean we should all look like 2006 newbies but so much complexity is unnecessary. When I switch off jelly dolls to look at those high draw-weight avatars lagging a club to a standstill, they don't necessarily look any better or any more complex than the lower draw-weight ones that were not jelly dolls in the first place.

LittleMe Jewell Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Simplicity in some things, complexity in others. Sometimes it depends on "what" it is, sometimes it depends on my mood / day of week / moon cycle / who knows. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Simple: Pepperoni pizza Complex: With mushrooms, black olives, sweet Italian sausage, caramelized onions, grilled tomato slices and topped with fresh chopped basil. They both have their merits. Brute force vs strategically applied science. A gentle caress vs a shibari suspension. I can't choose between them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madelaine McMasters Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Canoro, your question wants context: I don't want complexity in a medical treatment. I do want it in a mystery novel. I don't want simplicity in a life partner. I do want it in a front bra clasp, though not so much that it opens while I'm out dining with friends. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda Crisp Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 My RL career has been a bad case of "take the complex and translate into a simple, digestible format" - so I'm going with Simplicity.... Its less work :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Speaking of complexity - I just tried on an old gown in my inventory (from 2013). It has a complexity value of 2,799,508 - quite impressive. I think I'm going to have to find the right scene for a picture of this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to explain Pop Culture to other cultural groups is interesting, although it often underscores the absurd points of pop culture :-) "Its not supposed to make sense, its allegedly funny" Some days its fun, some days my brain hurts :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just the ring for that, after a discussion here about engagement and wedding rings, it was said you could get some good ones cheep, so I bough tone just to see how good it was, It cost 5L and looked fabulous, but the complexity if the ring alone was over 400000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinRey Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Oriolus Oliva taught me an important lesson once. He showed me a drawing he had made of a house facade and it looked so complex and full of wonderful little details. Then he demonstrated how simple the picture actually was, how few lines he had drawn to achieve that effect. You can see the same in his SL works too, they look so complex and full of life and details, yet if you start analyzing them, they are actually very simple. I think that's my answer when it comes to Second Life: make more out of less. Edited April 21, 2017 by ChinRey Fixing some typos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
