You were complaining about a TPV user asking if a different TPV supported the same TPV feature. Because you HATE TP's and HATE the fact that 70% of us WON'T use your beloved LL Fail-Viewer. So you engaged in hypocritical hyperbole snark. THAT's why you got the rolled up newspaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, actually I was complaining because Coffee started going on about being an RLVa developer, and Kitty being a primary RLVa developer. You just didn't know that was what triggered me. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Ok, back to more mundane peeves. One store is advertising what looks to be a sweater and shorts set. They're organized in mini-fps of four colours each, and, of course, one expects that the sweater and shorts need to be purchased separately. Which is standard and fine. BUT I get there, and it turns out that the sweaters (which is what I was mostly interested in) are NOT in fact for sale at all, but only available at a not-terribly-cheap full price. AND only one of the shorts sets is set for sale -- the "greyscale" one. Yeah. Won't be shopping there again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persephone Emerald Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Peeve: When a server or restaurant staff takes my food before I'm done with it. I was in a Starbucks this evening that is supposed to close at 8:30 pm, though the staff always flicks the lights off at 8 pm to drive the customers out sooner. I packed up my stuff, but left my tea on the table while I went to the restroom. When I came back one of the staff had thrown away my cup. I told another woman behind the counter that my cup was gone & it was a reusable one that I'd just bought. She replaced it & refilled it with fresh tea, but I'm still gonna leave a review about what happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) On the anti-peeve side of things, just bumped into an old forum acquaintance, @cariboustag, who caught me just as I was leaving a store (I had my head down and wasn't paying a lot of attention). We had a lovely chat! (I have a feeling, for some reason, that we've bumped into each other before, too!) I love these serendipitous little meetings with forum people in-world! They give one a much fuller sense of the person behind the name! Edited May 26 by Scylla Rhiadra Yeeeeesh 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met scores of forumites in-world over the years -- many, but by no means all of them through the old Forum Cartel group here. I've bumped into many by accident, but most of the meet-ups were purposeful and deliberate, so I guess I got to "pick and choose" the ones I wanted to meet for the most part. A lot of them are good friends now. In fact, I met my best friend in SL here about 15 years ago. I hope you have better luck in the future! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I'm buying a child avatar. For a pic -- it's got nothing to do with the current kerfuffle. My peeve is that if I wanted to do this "properly" and in a way that will allow me to conform to the new rules that come in effect in a month, I'd have to spend waaaay more time and money than I want to, especially just for what will likely only be a single photo. So instead I'm buying a cheap throw-away all-in-one that will, along with pretty much all of the others I saw on the MP, become unusable by the end of next month. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see if there are any child avatars who would model for you. I don't think any would mind so long as you credit their participation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any would mind so long as you credit their participation. I gave some thought to this possibility, but as I really only needed the silhouette or shadow of a child, it didn't seem either worthwhile, nor indeed courteous to any potential models to ask them. It's also a rather dark image (it's about loss), and might have been upsetting. https://flic.kr/p/2pTT6RM Should I do a shot in the future that involves a more detailed and focused role for a child, I'll certainly consider that idea again, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ages 16 and 13.) You might recall that when I was doing this project I did something like this, and posted about in My Avatar: I wanted to use a male teen or late prepubescent to represent Viola from Twelfth Night, as would have been the case on Shakespeare's stage. It was complicated by the fact that Viola spends most of the play disguised as . . . a young boy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
