Modulated Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 6 minutes ago, Rolig Loon said: It probably depends on where you are too. The closest UPS facility to me is about 2 miles from my house. Their long haul trucks go between here and the world all the time. The closest FedEx facility is about 40 miles away. The only time I see their long haul rigs is on the Interstate. I see local UPS vans on the street all the time but never see FedEx vans before noon, and there are fewer of them. If I want to send a package, I can take it to the UPS counter and know that it will go out today. If I preferred FedEx, I'd either have to drive 40 miles or drop the package off at the drug store and hope that it goes out by tomorrow, when the FedEx guy comes again. The hubs are all in the same place or close there at that 2 hour away mark. I'll give it til Monday before I start screeching. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned out FedEx was fairly close (maybe 10 minutes), whereas I already knew that UPS was a "trek" (maybe almost 30 minutes). Bonus: I got to see scenic roads with office parks and mostly empty fields, and drove by a local "Auto Museum" I didn't know existed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, if an add is making me lean in to read it, I can't anymore.. I have to save my eyes or things will go blurry worse than the blurry text they uploaded.. hehehe If the body version isn't legible from me sitting back in my chair, then I have to move on or end up having to log off for the day until my eyes clear up.. That and brightness really gets my eyes messed up too.. Bleh Age, what can ya do about it.. hehehe I particularly enjoy this with gachas on the marketplace, the images on MP are already tiny and the pictures people upload often look like they've been recompressed ten times... in extreme measures I have saved these images and tried to zoom them just to find the necessary details, often with no success. Gacha resellers don't care and never include details in the description of course but sometimes finding the supported bodies for these items is a nightmare. Google sometimes helps... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole outlook these days has been, they need to work to get my money, not me work to give it to them.. Any add has about 5 seconds to grab my attention, about 15 seconds to keep it.. lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persephone Emerald Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 1st Peeve: Now that I have 3 avatars wearing LaraX, I'm gonna have to start deleting huge amounts of bikinis, lingerie, and other clothing that no longer fit. - On the upside, I'll have smaller inventories that aren't bogged down with clothes my girls don't wear anyway. 2nd Peeve: Trying to find historical roleplay clothes that will fit LaraX. (I don't roleplay much, but I like to be appropriately dressed in any sim I want to explore.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if you save those older outfits with the 5.3 body instead of fretting that they don't work with LaraX, you don't really have to get rid of them. Just use LaraX for your newer wardrobe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use LaraX for your newer wardrobe. I have a few avatar/form changes that use "older" bodies or bodies I have more or less moved on from. For some of these I have no alternatives whatsoever and thus have to keep them around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use LaraX for your newer wardrobe. I don't see a good reason to save a bunch of inventory that I'll never use. So I'll go through my clothing folders, see if there are sizes that work with LaraX, Erica, (or Freya or GenX Classic for Persephone), and if not then I'll probably delete them. There's still a bunch of non LaraX clothing that works pretty well. For instance, Isis and Legacy sized mesh at least don't mess up LaraX alpha cuts the way Lara classic autohide does.

I have to clean out closets in RL when I finally accept that I'm not ever going to wear some of the older stuff too. My point was just that there has to be a lot of older stuff in your inventory that you do like, so it would be silly to throw it all away just because you got a flashy new body. Just save those outfits to wear with 5.3. If they're nice outfits, almost nobody is going to notice (or care) that you aren't wearing LaraX. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It NEEDED those updates, even though they're very subtle, it did improve a tiny bit. I mean , maitreya still sucks compared to Legacy and Reborn, and is going to still fall behind those 2, but it's something. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for merchants that only rig for 1 or 2 bodies, Maitreya is always on their list. Apparently the market still wants Maitreya items. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troo, troo, it has ingrained itself in the userbase, since it was one of the early successful mesh bodies, but it's still falling behind in terms of attractiveness, body details, THOSE SHOULDERS, which need deformers to proportion correctly , lol.... We must transition into better bodies eventually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the most popular body in SL will always have that effect. For some of us, while the time may come where there is something better to choose from, it hasn't arrived yet. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna do it here, though.. hehehe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
