There's a photography thread that is full of incredibly artistic shots that can't be posted outside the adult section because well, nipples, mostly. (the occasional dangly bit but mostly nipples) - but there's pictures that wouldnt be out of place in a mainstream RL art gallery, but the rules say that's the only place they can be posted in the SL forums. There's philosophical discussions about the nature of relationships, that have to stay there because of the kink. It's NOT wall to wall pixel-bumping Oh, I know and agree -- to an extent. I should probably have been more careful in my language and tone: I wasn't tut-tutting, being dismissive, or reductive about the Adult section. I have a few pics myself in the picture thread there that aren't really about "sex" at all. On the contrary, part of my point is that has actually become one of the most intellectually engaging areas within this forum. And that's enabled by the kinds of new freedoms that have been permitted there -- just as the constraints imposed here are making this place more arid and sterile. At the same time, as rich as the range of topics that might be considered "Adult" are, encompassing for instance D/s or relationships and aesthetics, there is still a great deal of interest to me that does not easily fit into that category -- and a great deal that does that is not of interest to me. And I think that's true of others as well. Edited September 25, 2022 by Scylla Rhiadra Clarity 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This limits your fps to 60. Which is not a bad thing, actually, and is why it's on by default. I turned mine off as an experiment, and got insane high frame rates. With Firestorm. Wow. No kidding, Lindal. I turned Vsync off, and my FPS literally tripled, immediately. THANK YOU! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheebyKatz Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Minor Peeve, but worth posting. People who try to get personal with me and tell me to shut up on internet forums, instead of simply doing what I do to them in response, and hitting the Ignore button. I mean, why argue with them, when I can just make them disappear? Just so everyone knows, the button is there for a reason, and it doesn't offend me at all when people use it. That's kinda why it's there, so you don't have to see me if you don't like me or want to see anything I have to say. Anything less would be uncivilized. And we thank you for your support.

To add to this, people who get offended at an answer or a post. And instead of moving on and scrolling on, they get up all in your face about it. I mean there is a scroll bar and a block or hide the post for a reason. Lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol When they speak as if they're speaking for everybody, and everybody already agrees with them, and they have no idea how many people like you as you are and like reading your posts, that's pretty silly, too. Kinda amateurish, really. Arguing on the internet is like frogs barking. "I AM HEEEEERE" "Yup, me too." "NO, IIIIIIIIIIII AM HEEEEEEEEERE!" "Yup, big ol' frog. Hi."
