  1. In most regards, I am very pleased to have lived through the generation I have been a part of, but when it comes to this stuff I envy those who are younger and will see so many amazing things in the field of astronomy. Beautiful stuff! 🙂
  2. ME? I didn't say a thing. 🙂 Anything is normal in SL ~ everything is normal in SL You look like you are having a great time in YOUR new second life! Enjoy.
  3. I recently bought a macbook pro(first time using a macbook) and it runs SL fine but getting used to which fingers to use to do which things - OMFG!!! lol Having used both a win desktop(dedicated graphics card) and win laptop(integrated graphics) before to run SL I do think one is better off with a reasonable desktop system and I agree one would be better off with at least 8GB RAM and dedicated graphics card. My win 10 laptop usually freezes into a white screen after about an hour of continuous SL ing, but if I have been there for an hour I am usually up to something that involves too much pleasure so it might be a good thing to get kicked out. 🙂
  4. Thank you, but the curiousity is killing me. What happened to you? Why did anything happen to you? And, this might sound like a dumb question, but when you log off dont you disappear? [closes my eyes and waits for the barrage of responses telling me EVERYONE does this, somehow - suddenly I feel so old. 🙂 ] p.s. it reminds me of a friend, many years ago, who used to go to sleep in RL with her SL self logged in and asleep in bed. This had become such a ritual that she could not go to sleep any other way.
  5. 1) I bumped into someone early on in my SL years who entered SL to do some research. They were a RL male using a SL male avatar. He complained it was so hard to engage with others because, being a male, it was just assumed he was there to hit on people. He found it very frustrating, plus his avatar was as ugly as sin. At my suggestion, he changed to a female in SL and found he could move around freely and was accepted by both females and males and soon made friends and was able to achieve his research goals. There is a difference. 2) In a post back in this thread I mentioned creating a male account. A friend joked that we should make a male avatar each, go to a club and stand around and see if a woman would hit on us. She made an avatar where it was ALL about looks. She spent a lot of money getting him the best shape, clothes etc... I had a different strategy. I didnt bother so much with his looks, but I figured women would read his profile. So I juiced his profile up to make him sound intriguing. My friend's avatar was ignored, mine was hit on. Make what you will of that. 🙂
  6. Clothes - a disaster. But... I just couldnt find an AO that didnt make the male look like an ape! I am very happy with my female AO in SL but trying to find one for a male omfg! killed me!
  7. Persephone wrote... "Reminds me of the cold storage in Westworld. " YES! What an image! Soracha wrote..."I got the exact same mental image" YES! 😀
  8. Thanks for all that - wow! Very interesting. Your last paragraph was not so wow, however, since it involved finding out your bf was cheating on you. That is not fun. (although perhaps ultimately liberating) Its funny reading about so many of you having "Disposable alts". I have this vision of a large warehouse full of alts turned off waiting for that once a year/once a lifetime awakening by their controller. 🙂
  9. Yes, working on something uninterrupted is a big win. There are times I just want to be in SL to look at things or research and not have people asking me over or wanting to chat etc...
  10. A few of you have said to acquire more than one Linden home. I am curious as to why this would be desirable. I have enough problems with one Linden home and all the furniture and cleaning and polishing all day... phew
  11. My apologies if this has been done to death but I didnt see any threads within the last few months on this topic. When one reads these forums a lot of people mention they have alts. This might cause some newbies to scratch their heads wondering why. So... if you have alts, do you have many, and most importantly what do you do with them? Are they everyday alts? Once a year alts? Hide from your partner alts? etc... My confession - I have 4 alts. 3 are female, one is male (and unattractive and gawky) Why do I have them? Alt One - because I wanted to have a different look, different personality, and I use her primarily for business ventures. This exposed her to the "hero worship syndrome" at the clubs she owned so she would regularly get hit on by customers. And you realise there are some whack jobs out there! Alt Two - introduced to try on new clothes, new shapes etc... And used to set up some groups. Alt Three - can't really remember why I have her. She gets to stretch her legs once a year, if lucky. Alt Four - male. A friend challenged me to create a male avatar. Seriously? I just had no "feel" for creating this creature. Didn't really like any of the options available on marketplace and couldnt find an AO that didnt make him look like a lumbering ape when walking. One of the first times I took him out some woman felt attracted to him, threw him on the ground and jumped on him and when she had finished with him, friends him and demands neverending loyalty, and wants to tell him how to look, what to wear, what to buy etc... There are some people in SL with some real problems lol So thats my alt story. Of the 4 alts and me, I am happy with two of them. thanks for reading, Space
  12. Thanks, great post with great suggestions. Loved the way you wrote the last paragraph! 🙂 Space
  13. Jennifer, LittleMe, Nalates and Ceka thanks for your comments! One does become attached to one's SL head over the years so trying to create a close copy is an emotional issue lol and perhaps a technical epic. After reading all that I have visions of my SL home full of boxes and poles and things with copies of my head on them! I think after reading everyone's wonderful comments I will most certainly not be in a rush. And Nalates, I hadn't even thought about colouring for my giggly bits and what I might need to do down there. So much to think about, but I shall rush slowly... Have a great day everyone Space
  14. Wow! Ayashe, an amazing amount of information, not just for me but also for anyone who stumbles across this thread in the forum. Thank you so much and you have done a great job with your alt. I have lots of signing up to do and cruising around shops, for sure. It is all a great help. I do have a few alts sitting around on their bums doing nothing. I might be able to try out some of these ideas on them. Thanks Space
  15. Thanks Katherine, what a lovely offer. Wonky shoulders, you say. Now I feel everyone will be focusing on my shoulders lol I shall pay special attention to those 🙂 Thanks, Space.
  16. Thanks everyone for your great responses so far. Very useful information and I can see the consensus is clearly for a Maitreya Lara body. Step 1 - try the demo 🙂 This will be an interesting journey for me lol Space
  17. Thanks for that. As for the last part of your post, I am reminded in many of these forums that LL and "soon" can be a moving feast. 🙂
  18. Thanks, that is useful to know. Yes, one becomes quite attached to ones head so developing a close copy could take time.
  19. Oh wow, what an epic response! I can see you have done this a few times before 🙂 I started watching a few videos so I understand a little of what you said, and it will sink in over a few days with some trial and error. Just one question...no maybe two questions... 1 - I have vista ao's with my classic body. Will they work ok with the mesh body, or not? 2 - If you were doing this now, from scratch and money didn't matter, what would your selections be for skin, body, head etc.. p.s. I use the firestorm viewer. I didnt know I could put my ao's into the viewer, so thats wonderful. thanks for that, so much information. You are amazing! Space
  20. Thanks for your reply Soracha and welcome to SL. You have done an excellent job on your avatar, very attractive. So, your purchases included a body, and a head, and skin? Once you settled on the right combination was it technically difficult to get her looking as you wanted? I know you said you spent a lot of time trying things on lol Did you find any useful resources like youtube videos? thanks for your feedback, Space.
  21. Whilst I have been in SL for many, many years, for the last few years I have just popped in and out and not taken part in daily SL life. It appears that something called a mesh body has snuck into SL life whilst I haven't been paying attention and a culture of mesh snobbery has evolved which might impact my social desirability, apparently. I was chatting to a gf in SL today and she explained that whilst I still look gorgeous and would, no doubt, still be lovable (flatterer!), I should invest in this idea of having a mesh body. And she suggested that I also need a mesh head, ultimately, but its ok to go with mesh body first and deal with my head later????? Yes, I am sure this topic has been done to death many times over the years in this forum, but from the standpoint of July 2022, would you lovely people care to make your recommendations in regard to the best / easiest to use / value mesh bodies out there today. And does it really matter and why? Do they look that much better? Or is it the interactivity with other objects that makes them worthwhile, or essential? ME I am slim, tall, small breasted in SL. I would like a mesh body I can adjust to that. I appear to have a classic body called Nelly, by Noya. I was told just doing the body first is fine. Do you all agree with that concept? How hard is it to get a head that looks like mine, or that I can model into my head or similar? Is this going to cost me a fortune? lol Is it going to be a technical nightmare? All feedback and recommendations are welcome and invited, but be gentle with me. 🙂 Thanks in advance... Space.
  22. gorgeous, and you look like you are having a great time!
  23. I love dancing there, so romantic. How could anyone not want to dance with you? Absurd!
  24. Yes, same here. I had an original account that I dumped after a year or two. No idea what she was called but I am old enough anyhow. lol
