It could be, but I really was meaning brief when I said mini (oh that sounds even worse, stalking briefs!). I have a few people and websites and Youtube channels that I regularly like to follow, mainly outside of SL. Peeve: That I never met my ex-husband's third wife before he did. I am sure we would have been great friends. Oddly - or not - though, since I started paying for an all-you-can-read subscription offer a couple of years ago, I'm more into that than the "stalking" thing, even won a couple of minor competitions, little bits of cash and some smellies, so feel it's a bit more rewarding than just the people watching, but the people watching from the computer was just another of my coping mechanisms from when I started being my brother's carer and was a bit tethered to base from 2003.

Aye, the main supermarkets in my town already have the Chrismas tins of chocolates in store, which of course will be bought now, eaten next week, and have to be rebought in time for Christmas!

Garnet Psaltery Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm a bit peeved about my diet. I'm not very good at them generally but thought I was heading in the right direction when I somehow started intermittent fasting. The version I'm on has me cramming all my food intake into about 8 hours. The trouble today is that I wasn't very hungry during that time and so now I am. I wonder if my body will allow a piece of cheese to go down without comment? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a quote in "lolspeak", which also had some memes associated. The easiest way to imagine it, is that perhaps a cat may think it while licking its fur. More a declaration of "realization that one has a flavor". https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/13995-lolcats Edited August 31, 2023 by Love Zhaoying 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you had no idea who "the most important secondlifer ever" was either, thanks for reinforcing my point. I just checked their profile, as I really wasn't interested enough in some obscure exile, to waste time googling for them, just as II didn't bother googling for some "style guru/model agency ceo" who posted a few years back to "announce the good news that they had returned to SL after x years" as if any of us cared. As for the posts you linked to, that just proved that my assessment of "cruising for a bruising" was bang on the money. Edited August 31, 2023 by Quartz Mole edited post to remove flaming.

The "Xbox app" is simply launched via Windows and all games can be installed to and played from your PC hard drive. The catalog has over 100 games in it, so it's been worth it for me. And speaking of peeves, I'm peeved Nintendo doesn't have a similar service for the Switch! There are so many Nintendo games I WISH I could play on the PC. I'm still not paying a monthly subscription fee for something I've already said I can't afford. Peeve: People who don't listen when I say "I can't afford" for the billionth time.

She was hugely helpful and patient when I was starting to learn how to script, as she was with many others. I think it would be fair to say that, at the time, she was one of the few SL scripters who really understood how to use quaternion rotations (which you need not just to open and close doors by script but to rez, position and move stuff, too), was ready to share her expertise with others, and was able to explain it all in terms that non-mathmaticians (like me) could understand. My point was simply that, had you been at all interested in finding out what Void's open letter was all about, it would have taken you no more than a couple of minutes with Google. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, that whatever it was, and whoever they were, it was all over more than 12 years ago, and means almost nothing to most people here today. A self exiled fashion guru returns, announces their return as glorious news and... Nobody gave a damn. An obscure railroad fanatic returned after a decade away... And was surprised that people didn't thank him for building a full bright prim crap railway that didn't work, and was left unfinished for over two years. There is this weird thing in SL where people are obsessed with ancient exiles, that only they even remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was occasionally amusing, but mostly pretty abusive, with particular forumites targeted. They weren't especially unkind to me, but they DID post a fair bit about my personal life in SL, and my relationship with my then-bf (who was also a forum poster, and whom they hated). I didn't much appreciate that aspect of it. I think it's still out there somewhere in the ether. And no, I'm not going to link to it. It was garbage. 😕 I think one could ask @Prokofy Neva about it, if they want more details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
