Modulated Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Peeve: Lately I noticed on some news sites, that there will be a video icon, but the included video has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with the actual news item. This is clickbait-y and I don't like it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylinbridges Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Because bot spammers move on until they find a group that works for sending. They are as affected as anyone, but are more persistent, and don't care if one group is not working, because they are auto sending in dozens of groups. The problem is on your end, probably your inventory, or your region. That's why alts can send and mains can not. Group chat has been broken for about 10 years. PBR has more priority. If SL would charge you for sending a group message, It would get fixed quickly. Edited March 5 by Jaylinbridges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Misfit Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Peeve - that some of my favourite furniture stores, and one house maker whose designs I love, have terrible LODs on their products. Houses need good LODs because they are seen from a distance, and furniture should not collapse when you are standing right next to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheebyKatz Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Peeve: When someone I've actually liked and semi-admired for a good 8 years or so becomes transparent in their douchery to the extent that I wonder how I could ever have tolerated them before. Extra Peeve: Seeing them being cowardly about it, while acting smug. Talk about disappointing. Bonus Peeve: Looking back and seeing that they've been that way to everyone, all along. Bonus Peeve 2: Knowing they like it, and would rather have that kind of attention than anything better, or mutually pleasant. Final Peeve: Realizing that they actually think they are superior because of it. What a thing to be proud of.

If it requires 4.000 lod to see it without it disappearing from 2 feet away , it's trash . Most people don't keep it at 4.000 24-7 . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only justification I can see is if they're advertising it as super-low prim, and warn people ahead of time. Some people specifically want things like that, because they don't have the prims available otherwise. It sucks, but yeah. Way I see it, if it's inside decor, like you're going to be in a room a few meters away, max, it shouldn't matter if it looks great from 200 meters away. But yeah, it should definitely look right when you're in the same room with it. As for houses, if it turns into a loaf of triangle when I'm 50 meters away, they need to go back to mesh uploading school, because that's shameful. Even I'm not that bad. Landscaping goods? They'd better look right for everybody, no matter what. That's your public face, your land. You want it to look nice. Especially if you're paying for it.

That lodfactor battle is lost a long time ago. Even if one personally only buys stuff with enough strength, others will not. If one wants to see a whole world around them one has to go for 4.

And even if one only makes stuff that's merciful to people with lower LOD settings, other vendors will not. It's depressing, but it's true. Sid is right, as far as being able to see everything the way it should look. Still, I wish in one hand, and then wish in the other, on the off chance it doubles the odds that things will change. Keeps my hands clean, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if one personally only buys stuff with enough strength, others will not. If one wants to see a whole world around them one has to go for 4. Pretty much. Unlike was posted above, most people I know, myself included, do keep LoD on 4 at all times. I still do appreciate well made LODs, however. Because while the 4 is a standard pretty much, some creators manage to make such bad lods that their stuff breaks from just a bit of zooming out. 2-3m and it already shows some textured shadows under pieces that have vanished. Good example would be one fairly popular furniture/decor store starting with N. Many lovely looking pieces there, but LODs are just beyond terrible on 3/4 of their releases, so even indoor furniture/decor is unusable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houses need good LODs because they are seen from a distance, and furniture should not collapse when you are standing right next to it. I pretty much always keep my LOD factor at 2, whenever I buy furniture I look at it in-world (no display, no purchase!) I make sure to cam back and forth a bit to see both when the LOD model changes, and how it changes. Very few creators in SL bother making actual LOD models and just lets the mesh uploading tool auto-generate them - which is why a lot of things turn into a spiky mess as they just shave off vertices at random. Creators that tell you that you need to bump the LOD factor up to 8-16 to 'see their product as intended' should have their sales licences revoked! .. Well I guess we'd first have to give them a license to revoke, but still! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Psaltery Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Facebook apparently is having problems. It's been telling me that my password is incorrect, that's been functioning just fine for months, but the procedure to get a new password keeps failing. Is it time to get paranoid? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
