Not "dingy," dahling! "Interesting"!

Your place is always so dingy! I bet you regret firing the cleaning service.

I can think of obvious reasons of "why" a 5-year deal would be part of it.. 🙂

I'm probably just not remembering it is all.. Either way, I won't have to this time.. I decided to wait and see what they tell us and read what they give us when the new one shows up. plus probably gonna do some research. In the mean time, I downgraded my 3 accounts that were premium to basics and removed my payment information.. I've been hit twice with information leaks by bigger companies than this one. One was not too long after some other company took them over.. Third time isn't gonna be a charm for me.. hehehe

Yeah, one expects the "partnership" is just a contract specifying what each party is committed to do for the other and what contingencies can change those commitments. (Yeah, those will include what happens if either party is sold or is unable to perform on its commitments, etc.) It's just an agreement. Both parties need it, so they negotiated its terms, in this case with a five year interval (by which time they might negotiate different terms, extend, or cancel). Of course it exists—and it would be ever so interesting to read.

if it's not meant to be used for vehicles it should be deliberate, we know the residents... if it's possible, they will use it as road.

There are for sure reasons possible for that .. Sl 's expected lifetime? The instant cash they get by the sale? The time they think SL get sold again?

Thunes calls it's customers, partnerships. I expect Thunes made that 5 yr obligation from LL to use and pay for their service. Why would LL lock themselves into a money transmitting company for 5 years? Someone else could come along with better service and rates, and now LL would have to pay to break a contract. Of course if Thunes cannot make a profit and goes under, I suppose that would cancel the contract. Most long term contracts will offer lower or fixed rates for the term. That would be LL's reason to enter into the contract. And Thunes locks in a customer for 5 years, giving them time to grow their network.

the interesting thing to know would be who made the 5 yr partnership a part of the deal ; Thunes ... or LL.

Yeah… until they need to find/build a replacement, or expend time and effort to minimize the Thunes Tax that will now skim from the SL economy without much flowing back to Linden coffers.

even debatable if the future will be here "soon" .. some things wait on repair for a decade ... ( or they change the situation to a "feature" instead of being broken (as login on the testgrid) )

I just have to grab this from BlueSky because text search is a thing and Invision doesn't seem to embed bsky: To the extent they're about Tilia tomfoolery, we can't really be sure of that, can we? I mean, Marketplace being more b0rked than usual is challenging to detect, but Tilia delay is pretty objectively quantifiable. And conceivably someone could benefit from "special timing" of transactions until this deal closes. Or not. Hanlon's Razor, eh wot?

Hmmm...maybe some people become something 'fake' when they develop an alt. But most I've known who develop an alt that has a life inworld considers that alt to be a facet of themselves, and so not fake. "I am large, I contain multitudes." -- Walt Whitman

But .. Those are skin appliers, which disables BoM, which means you're no longer using the Velour skin that's supposed to go with the head skin. As long as you're happy with the results that's of course not really relevant, but it means you get none of the benefits of being BoM (such as the ability to use alpha masks or wear different BoM layers to enhance your skin or add tattoos/scars/body hair/whatevers without using onion layers and deal with all the issues that those tend to bring).

Even those people who say SL and RL are one and the same and warn 'fakes' to stay away probably have a secret alt. or two for when they want to be 'fake' themselves!

I tried to find that on Amazon... no results

Anyway, back to the topic: one benefit of LL selling Tilia is, LL can focus on their core business of Second Life without managing Tilia, too. It will be interesting to see the logical gymnastics used to dispute my statement above.

The real secret of Second Life is: soon™ I'll explain it somewhere... eh.... in the near future?

Cut through this early morning and it appears to be clear now.

Open world sandbox game , yee?

Hi there. I'm looking for a photographer to do a few wedding photos. It'll just be myself and partner. No quests or wedding party. Mainly it'll be for the ceremony. If anyone is interested could you contact me in-world please (Noahh Davonius), so we can discuss it further. Thanks for your time. We have one now. Thank you for the IM's.

My observations aren't really related to the current Thunes acquisition. What site is Coffee quoting you from above? It does not appear you posted it on these Forums.

ChatGPT Second Life is often categorized as a virtual world rather than a game, although it can incorporate elements of gaming. In Second Life, users can create and customize avatars, interact with other users, build and design virtual environments, buy and sell virtual goods, attend events, participate in activities, and much more. Unlike traditional video games, Second Life does not have a specific set of objectives or goals imposed on users. Instead, it provides a platform for socializing, creativity, and exploration. Some users engage in activities within Second Life that resemble gaming, such as role-playing, racing, or exploring virtual landscapes, but the overall experience is more open-ended and user-driven than that of a typical game.
