I can't with all honesty and good conscience say Genus. I'd be lying to them. I will agree totally with this. There is no question that the LeLutka Evos are better heads in all sorts of ways. What I hope will happen is that future updates and issues from Genus will bring their heads up to par. But . . . we'll see. In the meantime, I am staying put anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me they were a trend setter that opened up a variety of looks that impacted the other creators to where they better start getting where there is more variety in their products too.. I mean when you can tell a mile away what brand of head someone was wearing, but not which head of that brand.. Ya.. Just walk through LAQ heads and tell me how many differences there were in those and where they are now? hehehe Since Genus came out, things changed for the better and look at the amazing looks we can make now compared to before they came along. Imagine a Genus head with an Evo x type of plan or maybe even something next level.. I'm one of their biggest fans.. I've deleted just about all my other brands because I know I'll never use them anymore.. My catwas, my LOGOS and LAQ's and some others that I can't remember there names.. I'm down to like three brands that I'm keeping.. My Genus heads are one o them. I have on my other two alts that have Genus heads and all the heads and versions of those heads on this avatar and more content for them than I can shake a stick at.. They aren't leaving my folders any time soon.. hehehe I'm holding out for them and hoping hard.. There really is no reason to change if you or anyone else are happy.. I'm not trying to push people that are already Genus towards Lelutka.. I'm looking at new users or new people moving to mesh.. Which will give them less problems and frustrate them the least at the moment. I always have retention in the back of my mind when talking to anyone new.. When I made that alt to check out the start up point and said to myself, I'm not gonna spend a dime.. A lot of things hit me and a really big thing was, I take the amount of money i spend in here for granted.. Just a few lindens are a lot coming in looking at things from that perspective.. As much as I would like to push them one way, I try to push the the best way for them at the time.. Genus are still good heads and great looking heads with a lot of content, more than enough to keep someone busy for a long time. But i see the troubleshooting and that's really the big thing that moves me to advies them to something else.. Someone that knows the heads already has those moves second nature.. hehehe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeve 203a: RL stores that allow entry only via their phone app. A small boutique in our town did that --- although I have no interest of going in. Just saw a sign and scanner thing at the entrance. Eeek. Do you think this is to keep out homeless people, shoplifters and others who would be unlikely to buy stuff? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too Peeve, but kinda not.. hehehe That happened to me with a well known collar maker.. They showed up one time and only one time, on a thread and thought they were going to get all ecco superhero on me and nail me to a cross.. I probably do more for the environment in one day on a real world level than someone just sitting in a chair going around nailing people to crosses on the intranets. But from looking at their history, I knew it was coming one day.. it was always in the back of my mind.. When's she gonna strike.. hehehehe A ban here with a block there.. It's all good.. There is more than one way to skin a cat in this world with all the amounts of options we have to everything.. I'm not losing money getting banned anywhere.. one door closes another door opens.

They use their app only for purchases --- no CC or Cash. They had over-priced clothes marketed to the Millennials. Kinda remind me of in world SL when a shop requires a group tag to enter their shop. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordyn McGregor Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 8 hours ago, Rowan Amore said: I HATE changing my look! How I ended up switching from Catwa to Lelutka was a long process. I had the head demo for months, trying different skins as they became available at events and such. Only when my favorite skin store made a skin that I fell in love with did I actually go and purchase the head. I think I had the demo about 6 months before switching over. Pick up a few demo head. Keep them all in a folder. There are a couple that would probably be close to your look with some editing. It took me literally years to embrace mesh heads when they came out cos I actually loved my system one, and then a very long time to switch to a bento one. I just looked it up - thanks Flickr - and I've had my current Catwa head since March 2017 and am clinging on to it for dear life! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a good kerfuffle, warm from the oven. Usually chocolate, served with ice cream. ETA: Also enjoy a good canoodle, with a savory cream sauce! Probably with a kerfuffle for dessert. Both are bad for pet peeves, though, best to stick with Pet Peeve Kibble. Edited September 15, 2022 by Love Zhaoying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
