1. Everyone pulls out their L$ from the market. 2a. The market crashes, or 2b. Nothing happens since LL controls the market.

This is a surprise, I was only aware of "illegal" things like drugs, being blocked from banks and payment processors.

The Neko Lion is right. I myself have done it like this. If the land is deeded to a group (call it FooLand), if all the objects are in FooLand, then the only issue is who contributes tier to FooLand. In your case, it will be the new avatar. There is one privacy issue, however. Nosey people who look at your objects might notice that some are owned by the original avatar and some are owned by the new one and infer that these avatars are alts.

Actually a smart move to sell it now. As soon as the first of one of those proposed laws forbidding ingame currencies passes, Tilia would be a dead fish...

Just a quick thanks to Linden Labs for removing the "Short Bus To Rancho Cucamonga" from the desert area of Linden Realms. That always seemed like an outdated pejorative for folks requiring special education, and the goofy alien look of the folks on the bus just made it worse. Hope the bus has now reached Rancho Cucamonga 🙂 Despite its nature it was a fun "adversary" in the game; maybe they could replace it with a Tesla Cybertruck, a Hummer, or something equally offensive to the world in general rather than just one protected class.

I understand. It's the content creators and the adult platforms that supported them have been removed/banned from payment processing because VISA et al do not want to be seen as supporting the creation and dissemination of adult content. VISA doesn't care if you buy something from Lovense online, they do care if they are acting as a payment gateway for people who make or facilitate the distribution of adult content like porn such as videos, fan subscriptions, etc. My point has always been that when anyone actually looks in here and sees what can go on, that's when the flags might go up. Tips in Lindens to sex workers and for access to the harder edged stuff that is available (even virtual ones in SL) are bought through payment processors who may (may) decide they want nothing to do with that. I'm waiting and seeing. Who knows what some corporate PR/legal/C-level team will decide.

This is perfectly what I'm wanting. Thank you so much! ❤️

Strangely, I haven't noticed a difference in my room while the computer is running. Right now it is 36°C and showing 4 - 5 watts of power consumption, that is with Fallout 4 running in the background. Then I tried it with SL open, and Fallout 4 running in the background. The Bellisseria fairgrounds really pushes my computer, I'm getting about 50fps just standing around, whereas it goes into the 100s if I am standing around at my Bellisseria home. I think overall, my computer is using less than my older setups, with CRT monitors and all of that. My room used to get really hot.

"This new development from the team behind the very popular Sonance nightclub boasts an excellent design and build by one of the Sonance owners, Katt Harcourt, who has created something resembling a vibrant hippyish beach community with Californian and Mediterranean influences. Heatwaves offers regular events from club nights to film nights, but one of the highlights is the lively atmosphere on the beach and at the beachside bar during European and North American evenings."

It depends. To improve the ground texture we also need to change the repeat rate and it's not clear to me if the update also fixes that issue.

Let the Potato PC Holocaust begin. I am all for the cleansing. LL should simply implement a system that down scales textures shown to people using low graphics settings, instead of making everyone else suffer. I have been in SL for 20 years. I have upgraded my computer more than once specifically for SL. When I upgraded from 16GB of memory to 32GB, this was the single best improvement to SL by far for many years, though I now have 64GB to allow running SL, and Blender, and Substance Painter, and Photoshop all at the same time. Memory is relatively cheap at the moment. Get some! The latest upgrade that really was a game changer for me, was getting a new graphics card. Yes, 2K and PBR will be available for SL terrain textures. Finally we can have land that doesn't look like early 90's video game mess. It's not going to be perfect, but will be an improvement. I think the cost to upload should remain the same. Premium members (of which, I am not) already get free uploads. I doubt that will change, so you are not really preventing anything by increasing the upload fee. I think a change in the cost to upload 2K textures would only benefit LL, and would be seen as another way that they sponge money from the creators. And if Premium members still get free uploads on 2K textures, it will be seen as another ploy to try to drive sales of premium membership. There is no way LL can spin an increase in the upload fee for 2K textures that doesn't look like it is self serving. Mind you, not all creators sell their creations or make money from their hard work, but they DO add interesting environments for people to experience, and help create the actual world. Without creators there would be no world. And for those who do make things to sell, LL already has their fingers all up in that. They charge an extra fee for buying lindens from the exchange. They charge a fee for selling lindens on the exchange, they charge a fee if you upload anything, and mesh models already cost more to upload than the flat fee for textures or sounds. And if you sell anything on the marketplace, they charge a fee for every transaction made. 10% I believe it is. What's worse, with the Marketplace, is that if you need to refund a purchase made on the marketplace, you don't get the money LL took. So refunding a marketplace purchase cost you the 10% of sale that LL originally took, as you are having to cover that to pay the customer. Then there is the big money, which is land rentals. The monthly fee for a full sim, is 8x-12x the monthly cost of a web hosting server with the same specs. Current private owned sim count is 18192 sims, of which 55% are full sims, and 43% are homestead sims. (https://gridsurvey.com/) That is about 10,000 full sims, and 7,800 homestead. Full sims cost $209 a month, which means LL is making $2,090,000 a month from full sims, and homestead sims are $109 a month, so that's $850,200 a month for homesteads, for a grand total of $2,940,200 a month. Nearly 3 Million Dollars that LL is making from land rental each month. I used to own a full sim for several years. At the time I bought it from LL, I had to pay $1500 for the setup, and then $200 a month, and then eventually had to let it go due to finances. I now have a homestead that i have had for a few years. Add on the fact that I am a creator, uploading mesh, textures, and sounds on a regular basis, and LL is taking plenty of my money and doesn't need more. They do not need to make more for offering us something we should have had long ago. And setting the cost higher is not going to prevent abusive individuals from being abusive. It will only benefit LL. I almost agree with Zalificent, about the stupidity tax, but I don't think those of us who are actually diligent in managing our poly counts, and the efficient use of UV maps, should have to suffer for the stupid. Maybe access to 2K texture uploads should require users to pass a test. though the pessimist in me says, abusive people would gain approval and then ignore all of that and go back to being lazy and abusive. What really worries me with the 2K textures, is that there are many clothing makers who break a single pair of jeans into 8 faces, and use 1K textures on each of those faces. so a single pair of jeans is 8 x 1K textures. I have seen this with many creators, and even some of the most well known and popular. I wont name names, but you know who you are. So the next obvious step is going to be creators applying 2K textures to 8 faces of a single clothing item. 🏆 That's my two cents. ~Aya
