InnerCity Elf Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I'm a person who always did their best to not walk through tourist's photos, both for the sake of their photos and because I don't want to be in random people's photos, as far as I can avoid it. Now, it's basically impossible to not "be featured" in people's public facetime phone calls, no matter where you go, in the street, on the bus, in a coffeeshop, even in the doctor's waiting room (despite the phone striked through sign), on a forest walk,... I don't like. It's not that I'm doing anything against the law that might accidentally be caught on video in a café, or something, but... how to explain it, even in public spaces like cafés, it doesn't feel right that some people kind of extend their personal space over mine, by video call, while mine gets infiltrated. If I'd really need to take a call while in a café, which can't wait until once I'm out, at the least I'd keep it to voice. I never take calls in café, though, and also keep video calls to within my own four walls if I can't avoid them. I guess I'm just weird and a fossil. /me hopes for a few hearts that might indicate I'm not the only one, though. 🫣😅 But, yes, it's definitely a pet peeve of mine, by now, as increasingly ubiquitous. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you need to update your HUD to point to the right textures etc. Making a demo sign floating over/beside/through (as long as it doesn't obstruct the product itself) your avi seems quite effective though, and not as much work (and allows the person to browse all the colours). I almost never see people actually going to clubs or such with clothing demos like those, and sure it could be used to take a picture with but if a small portion of people do that I guess you could just try to look favourably at the free product publicity it brings. If it's a timed demo it's even easier to take a picture of it without buying the full product, a little more setting up required, but less editing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modulated Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Repeat Peeve: So I finally got into Skin Fair, and I was just wandering around and saw this one creator's booth, and it is so obvious that AI was used to finish the adverts. This is feeling like it's becoming a 'thing' and I still say it's is false advertising because there is no way a SL avatar is going to look like that...just using the demos with the recommended skins, etc, proves that. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagnu Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 1 hour ago, Orwar said: Ctrl + Alt + F1 / Shift + Alt + H. Such major pain! It is when I have to turn off RLV and relog to be able to hide my HUDs. An RLV locked HUD prevents Shift Alt H from working. It means I can't capture an SL "moment" as it happens. Then I have to activate my video capture program. This all can take a full 2 mins or more. It's the fractions of a second that make all the difference in capturing the "feel" of a moment. A couple of days ago, I was in my female alt with Cat's alt in a bit of RP. I wanted to capture video so I could include it in a video I've been working on for her. I couldn't get a clean screen unless I went through the entire process of relogging with RLV off. And if I turned off RLV, it would have prevented what was happening...Well...from happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one only can exaggerate what people like about bodies, but not what they don't particularly like. Hell yeah!!! I don't want the 15...or gasp...maybe 20 pounds I gained through the Covid era showing on MY AVs!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the would use AI to make the skin itself, that might do the trick (or in the near feature). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Spiffy! Yes, the gallery owner tracked the spamming object to a neighbour's parcel, and it was removed about 6 or so hours later. In other good news, my own contributions to the event's total donations, from sales of my pics along with my matching donation, is now just shy of L$7000, so that's nice! ETA: Thanks to a VERY generous donation from everyone's favourite arsonist, I was able to send along L$10,000 to the cause, for disbursement to Medicin sans Frontieres. Woot! Thank you to EVERYONE who contributed! It will make a real difference to people's lives! Edited March 18 by Scylla Rhiadra 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking over the events and the weekend sales and noticed, this is becoming a thing that is on the level of trending with adverts.. It's becoming the norm from what I noticed.. It's nothing but a trick and shows lack of confidence in their own product to have to camouflage it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Peeve: Was hair-shopping today and noticed how much "better" my pictures looked at the shop, than at home. The difference was..the lighting! Even though I used the "new midday" at home. So now, I understand better both 1) the Peeves about store lighting (which may not match lighting elsewhere), and 2) the Peeves about lighting being so critical. All because I looked BETTER someplace with "special lighting". Maybe I should go back and try my "own" lighting to see if I look as bad there, as I did on my own land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a thing for ages where I am hard put to make the item being promoted look as good on me as it does on the model displaying it. Been plenty of times where I would just as soon have bought the model then the actual item "How much for the girl in the window?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the stores that do the AI ads have skins that are not up there with the best when you try the demo, so I can see a need to try to camouflage the product. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orwar Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Peeve: when you right-click a a piece of apparel to remove it from your avatar, and SL goes 'you mean this other attachment that you didn't at all click on? Sure!'. I really should try to unlearn that even being a thing and just do it via the inventory. Also, I thought the lungs were a part of the body. Guess not? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never worn a dress in RL that showed my lady parts. Yeah, I get it. It's SL. We can wear things we can't in RL but ffs. Just stop. This drives me mad ... WHY do creators assume we all want this? I agree, this isn't a dress, not at all. Just trashy IMO 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
