  1. When I buy any clothing I delete everything but the parts for my Tonic Fine, so that’s the only clothing I have. I don’t build anything so I don’t have folders of building material and my Textures are rather limited. I still have a some of my system clothing and I like appliers because of materials, and the fact that they fit under mesh clothing, both system and appliers are mostly lingerie. I have some mesh hair but I never leave the house with it, I always use my flexi hair and I have used the same hair for years, its me, can’t help it. After reading that you would think my inventory would be rather small but I’m around 97k and I’m fighting to keep below 100k. But I must be hoarding something just not sure what, LOL.
  2. Go on a virtual safari on PaintedDog.TV some of them hours long, just beautiful.
  3. I worked in an office once that had an all occasion tree. It would get decorated for everything. The building had a strict police about Christmas Trees and spelled out when they had to come down. The Fire Marshal came to the office and it was pointed out that the policy directly said Christmas Trees and that what we have is an all occasion tree. They thought for a second and said, it looks nice, just keep it safe and enjoy. That tree or another updated tree stayed up for years.
  4. I’ve been on SL for over 16 years and one thing you can’t deny is the avatars keep getting better and better. RL quality is just an obvious progression and will come, I like the idea and look forward to it. But in looks only, if I fall I don’t want to see blood and guts but the same as now, get up, brush myself off and keep going. Having a realistic looking avatar... I like that.
  5. The one Tribute Band I remember going to the most is Abba. I have been to more Abba shows then any of the rest put together. Always enjoyed them but haven’t seen Abba for a while. I don’t go to as many shows as I used to.
  6. So, from the title of the video the right is PBR, I truly don’t know. So for the record, is it as titled and the right is PBR? Again I don’t know and to me its not clearly labeled. But before I find out for sure I think the right looks better in the video, at least on my computer.
  7. Not sure how this is going to help but I brought up SL and popped open a PBR to see if it makes any difference. Maybe it will take two or three of them before it is noticeable. I’ll need to just wait and see how it goes.
  8. I haven’t been to a sales event for a very long time. I have an older avatar and fewer and fewer stores are supporting it, still some are but not enough at events to make it worth my time going there. I don’t build, I don’t have all that many textures so my 100k inventory is mostly clothing and I can probably out last Second Life with plenty of things to wear without buying anything new. But I still go shopping, I like new things, but shopping events are just a waist of my time.
  9. I'm on Linux and the official SL Linux viewer does not work, last time I tried it anyhow. Never tried firestorm, their Linux viewer is to complicated to install, I'm not a geek. I've used Kokua forever, and like Peanut told Jeff; Once you go purple...you never go back!
  10. It has been years since I went mesh. Before that I used products that were not Sink but with them I could wear Slink shoes, not all but a vast majority of them would fit. And there were more than one other brands that sold similar products, and the cost was a fraction of Slink and looked good and Slink shoes fit. I’m not going to go searching but I know several of them are still in business and I would guess still sell the feet and hands. Its for that reason when I went mesh the avatar had to be able to use Slink shoes because by that time I already owned a large amount of shoes, as luck would have it the one mesh avatar I liked best has Slink compatible feet. Still have and only use that mesh avatar.
  11. That would be better than sliced bread! It would do a lot to fix the MP.
  12. Isn't not knowing what your buying call a gotcha? We still doing that?
  13. Shoes are one item I buy all the time, and all of them are Slink compatible, and I still see them being sold. Well before my mesh body I used several third party feet that used Slink shoes so my inventory of shoes is extensive and many years old. At this point I am so locked into clothing for Tonic Fine, with compatible feet for Slink, that if nothing is ever sold for them ever again I would be forced to live out of my inventory, with almost 100K geared to one body, changing is not an option, ever. And so far I still manage to spend most of my Second Life allowance on clothing with no problem at all.
  14. I saw this a few years ago (3 or 4 maybe) but it didn’t catch on back then, and I didn’t buy from them, to me it looked like a money grab because a lot of people use many different bodies. I only use one body and buy fat packs if they are reasonable in price, most aren’t so I am happy with one color or pattern. And I do buy full permission items and texture them myself, I’m not all that good at it but for some odd reason they are the only times I have gotten comments about my clothes, I’m confused. For now I’ll keep away from stores that sell like that, I still think of it as a money grab.
  15. I think that is only part of the problem, creators can’t keep adding bodies to the lineup of what they rig for. And with people like me that refuse to change bodies no matte what, if they stop selling to me I stop buying all together. I have almost 100K inventory and I can make different outfits till the cows come home without buying another stitch of new clothing. I would rather have new things to buy but if its not out there I can’t, I have one body and NO I’m not spending money on another one!!!! Stop rigging for me and I stop buying, end of story.
  16. I have said it, I have heard it from others, and now again in this thread, I have invested in my wardrobe and I’m not changing bodies. I have one body, Tonic Fine, and I’m not starting over, clothing is expensive. Will Second Life reach a saturation point of bodies where it just cant take any more?
  17. Bodies are so much a personal choice that even if someone gave me some of the bodies out there for free with a thousand outfits it would all just get deleted, no way in, well I just wouldn't use a lot of them. The price for Prima is fantastic being a Tonic Fine owner, but for me even Lara can’t replace my Tonic Fine body, for me its just not good enough. And because I have been buying clothing for my Tonic Fine for years it will only be replaced when it is taken off Second Life completely, the money just isn't there any more. I would easily return to the Linden Classic avatar and be perfectly happy. The only reason I gave it up in the first place was because I could dress with no alphas with a mesh body, and even that is getting harder to do, creators are giving up and saying, you fix the blasted thing I give up. No, I’m a die hard Tonic Fine owner and from the looks of it I will never change. Well I guess I could if everything were free, LOL, but that’s not going to happen. But even then I would wear Tonic Fine 99% of the time.
  18. Hi Henri, recently, 26 July, Kokua dev Chorazin sent out a notice that Kokua (Imprudence) may not be able to provide a Linux build in the future. Because that is just about the only viewer I have used since Emerald I have started looking around at other viewers. Have installed Cool VL, thanks, and Alchemy still says Coming Eventually. Someday. so no Linux there. Firestorm just sounds to big and I find their install confusing for Linux, so I stay away from that one, and Singularity is one of the viewers I was getting errors on, because others use it I know its my system, but that does not matter. Also the Second Life Linux viewer will not run for me so that one is out. Do you know if the file writes bug is still in Wine 7.0 and 7.14? I may just try using it on my test system and see what happens.
  19. Yes I saw that, have downloaded to build live USB to test with. On my test system, there now, I have Second Life up and running with Kokua viewer on Mint 20.3. Have some of my windows things I can’t do without loaded with Wine. So my test system has gone from Mint 19.3, Wine 4, Nvidia 470 to Mint 20.3, Wine 7 and Nvidia 515.65, and after reloading several times everything appears to be working. Upgrading is to tedious and I prefer to load new and use backups to fill in my data after some installs. Still need to see if I can get several Second Life viewers loaded with Wine, on my 19.3 system I was getting some errors. And thanks for alerting me to the end of life that is coming for 19.3. Will look at Mint 21 before I update my main system, may just skit 20 altogether.
  20. Thanks for the link, but the way I read that I should be using the more up to date driver. My video card is: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB. And not that it matters but my CPU is: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X. And like I said I don’t appear to be having any problems with my system, or my viewer. I run Kokua as my viewer and have been even before it was named Kokua. (I ran winders for a long time) But like I said, thanks for the link.
  21. I am a Linux user, I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.3 and my Update Manager installed, within the last week or so, (copy paste from system reports) “NVIDIA 470.141.03” and is telling me my system is up to date. My system runs fine. Not sure what to think. Just saying, and, Not A Geek.
  22. Title says it all, I need to ditch paypal, what other payment method can I use, for everything, Premium - Marketplace - buy Lindens, all of it. I will never cash out so don’t need that one part.
  23. I worked for a company that every five years you could pick a gift from a catalog, the longer you were with them the nicer the gifts. My Howard Miller wall clock with Westminster chimes has been running for years and years. Is there any advantage to having an unbroken Premium membership?
  24. For me, Annual is the only way to go, pay for one year and nothing to worry about for one full year. If however you do not intend to stay Premium, then BEFORE the end of the one year, downgrade back to basic. Once you go into the next year you owe for that year. But some things to think about, you can’t downgrade and still have a Linden Home or Mainland Property, you need to abandon your property to downgrade. I think that is wrong, but unless it has changed that is how it works. So abandon you home and property and downgrade to basic and you will have no problems at all. But if you intend to stay Premium then do nothing and LL will use your payment method and renew your Premium for another year. So keep your payment method up to date and notify LL if it changes. (I have not heard of this changing, but if it has then someone can point to the update document.)
