Nika Talaj 7,777 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 There is still one property left on Boom Tender, and to my mind one of the best there, right across the street from the rez zone. I squandered one try on it, not going to try again. What is special about Boom Tender? It is possibly the ONLY region currently built out that has water from the large, central lake in it. It also has a rez zone, tho, oddly, not on the large lake water, but on the quite small lake on the region's interior! But no matter - you can rez a boat on the rez zone, and jump it to the (nice and deep) little inlet of the BIG lake. So, in that region, you get direct access to the large lake without having to reserve prims for your boat on your own land. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TarraMcBain 436 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Why do people name their new home "Linden Home"? When your looking on the map and checking on areas that have not been or resently released and you see "Linden Home" you think it is available and you hurry to try and get it .... finding out after you use up all your trys and go check it out you then find out it has been taken days ago ,, hangs my head what a waste of tries. Thank you for letting me vent! 3 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for letting me vent! I thought a Vic I had released was stuck in maintenance for several days. I went to check it out and realized that it was named “Linden Home”. Sometimes people like to mess with our heads, or they’re not very creative in naming their homes. 3 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for letting me vent! Sometimes it is a glitch. I had it happen to me, had a name picked out and got the house and didn't think anything of it till someone pointed out it still said Linden Home. It was very odd. If someone hadn't have said something I could have gone for days without even noticing, maybe even weeks. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

When I logged back in to check her time out status, I saw that she had acquired a camper. 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites

You have to have a Day Cycle active (can use default one) to see SL night at the right time of day. And they are particles, so you need to have them on. You can see them when you DON'T have a Day Cycle active, but lol you won't know when to look. Unless you check this table!

kali Wylder 3,296 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 so so is that little red dot a fire fly emitter? Link to post Share on other sites
Marisa Starbrook 1,899 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) They're usually a long narrow column. I've seen them on land and water. I think that little spot might be a sound loop. There was one that looked like that in the lake that I noticed recently.
