[New Gacha Policy Discussion]

 

To me, the “conveyor belt” thing makes gacha look like child's play. Having your mark locked in knowing the next one will be the big one would be like a dream come true. IMHO

[Vaccination]

 

Back in 2019 my SO and I spent around $1200 updating our vaccinations, they had no problems with any of them and none with the two Moderna shots we got. I on the other hand always have a reaction to shots, and my two Moderna shots were no different than any other vaccine I have ever gotten, slightly sore for a couple days, and that’s it. And when I got my second shot they told me it usually has grater reaction than the first shot, I found just the opposite.

 

[Never leave MP open]

 

Its more being signed in to MP than being on MP. I never sign in until I’m ready to purchase something, then I sign in, make my purchase, and sign out. That eliminates most of what I think your seeing, you need to be signed in to see SLex things, and a lot more, but that does not interest me so I sign in purchase and sign out, cleans up what you see considerably.

 

[Flexi hair. Yes or no ?]

 

I have never stopped using flexi hair. My hair is from Zero Style and I still get complements on it.

[New Releases of 2 Popular TPVs]

 

My viewers of choice were Imprudence and Emerald. Emerald got banned and Imprudence turned into Kokua and I have been using mostly that from its beginning.

My thought when reading this thread was, wow I’ve been using Kokua that long, sweet!

 

I tried Niran’s viewer in the past and loved that but then it was deleted and is now Black Dragon and I can’t use that one, its to complicated, to me anyhow.

And now I’m running Linux Mint Cinnamon and that leaves out a number of viewers that don’t support Linux.

 

[Limited resources makes the real world 'real']

 

No you can't have my stuff when I leave, and with SL looking like that I would be gone rather quickly.

 

[Second Life Statistics: Mesh Bodies]

 

I’m very surprised Tonic is not listed. I don’t have any problem finding clothing even being as picky as I am. I tried a demo of the top bodies but the Tonic Fine just rang my bell.I guess I would have other bodies if I had the money for it, but my Tonic body, and head from Tonic, have me completely satisfied.

The bottom line, its good to have choices.

 

[Unexpected gift]

 

The other day I got something sent to me, nothing to do with a secret Santa, but not knowing the person I deleted it. Got it again the next day and deleted it again, I’m not a trusting person.

That said, I have several times over my years in SL deleted something and almost right away seen in group chats, don’t open so and so.

So apparently deleting things has served me well over the years.

 

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

 

I packed up my sky box and abandoned my Log Home getting ready for the stilts. That was several days ago. Was looking at the “get your home - page” and saw a House Boat, I haven’t had one so I got it to just look, I never liked the narrow slips that most of them have. Well I got a 32 x 32 on Lake Breeze and now have a Yacht sitting next to it, you’ll have fun with the stilts, I think I’ll just stay here for a while. LOL, one less person grabbing at stilts.

 

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

 

I let a Log Home in Moleborough go a little while ago and picked up a Trad in Montag.

When I abandoned my house I found one item that did not belong to me. I have no idea what it was but I had land set to only me so I don’t even know how it got there. But I recognized the name from one on my security orb as someone that lives near by.

Check your land from time to time to see if something has been added by someone else.

 

[What Does Your Avatar Look Like Now?]

ooops, wrong thread.

[What Does Your Avatar Look Like Now?]

 

Well, I'm on page one so I guess its time for an update...

 

 

[Premium, Premium Plus - are we on the way to premium accounts for all?]

No, Second Life would not survive ending free accounts, no.

But, if the low end was something like $10 a year and then Premium at what it is now, then maybe, a really big maybe.

Have the low end not get all the perks that premium gets, like a Linden Home and more groups.

This could benefit the players by keeping the riffraff and griefers away. But I think the initial drop in users would be devastating.

I have two Premium accounts now but will be dropping one back to free on next renewal, and if I lose that account if I don’t stay premium, I’ll be PO’ed big time, I’ve spent a lot of money on her!

[Major differences of available body types]

Although the video Rowan posted is informative, looking it up, its almost a year old. Be sure to demo any body your interested in and keep in mind most if not all have been updated from what is shown.

[Most played song on SL ever]

 

Sure, its not the most played song but surly the most requested song is Cows with Guns, and right behind it is a cute little ditty about some hot little kitty.

Just had to set the record straight.

[Most played song on SL ever]

 

I’m almost 13 years old and music is my number one thing in Second Life, and this I have never heard, in or out of Second Life.

 

[Why are so many of the houses empty?]

 

I’m very bad at decorating, and beyond that I don’t like it. So I bought a barn, and that is where I live. Its modify so I have been having fun with it. I have very little in my LH and I see lots of other empty homes in Belli. And when at my sky barn, over 3000m high, and extend my draw distance, wow, everyone loves a sky box, they are everyplace.

 

[Will this get me more prims?]

 

Well shucks, LOL, I was hoping for more prims and its just a rezzer problem.

Thanks for the answers.

 

[Will this get me more prims?]

Down the road from me are a couple plots that have a mailbox but no houses. I have walked onto the land and can see they are owned by Residents. If you delete the house do you get more prims, or is something else going on here. (its not just one day, its been several weeks like this)

[AMD Ryzen - CRASH]

 

I have had no problems with my Ryzen 7 1800X along with my nVidia GTX 1060, and I run both Windows 10 and Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.3 on my system. I keep my draw distance set to what I am doing, in my house I don’t need it very high at all, 96 is normal. But even setting it really high to look around Bellisseria I have never crashed. I don’t remember the last time SL crashed on me.

 

[Demo to purchase ratio]

 

I have no hate about someone using them, I just don’t like them, at all. I have not said, no one should use them and I hate people that do. I just personally don’t like them. And I don’t hate anyone because they use some part of SL that I don’t like, that would be insane. But it would be nice to see a note on an ad that auto alphas are used, that would be informative.

 

[Demo to purchase ratio]

1 hour ago, Lillith Hapmouche said:

Why's that? Because of overwriting your own and currently worn alphas? Guess that could be... distracting, if you aren't demoing stuff at home.

 

I guess if you didn’t read the first half of my post your response could sound... okay.

But thanks for the laugh, I guess overlapping alphas could just make matters a lot worse, but I wouldn’t know.

 

[Demo to purchase ratio]

 

I seldom buy without a demo. And I seldom demo unless something really catches my eye, then its demo and purchase if it fits and has no auto alpha, I hate alphas. So my demo to purchase is kind of high, I think.

And just a little rant, I would love a way to turn off alphas completely so auto alphas don’t work at all. If creators think auto alphas are so good, PUT IT IN YOUR AD, so I don’t need to demo that stuff.

 

[Just for fun - Remembering old brands that have gone!]

 

Zero Style

I have bought other hair for photos, mesh hair looks good if your not moving, but I don’t leave home without my “real” hair.

 

 

[L$ Tilia purchases charged as PayPal Cash Advance]

 

Not sure if this helps any but, I last purchased lindens on July 1. I pay with PayPal funds, other than the charge for purchasing, the transaction charge from LL, I was not charged any other fees.
