[What Do You Do for Fun? (That's Not Dancing, Sex, or Para-RP)]

that's an interesting passtime, harmony! 

 

you can busk in london city?  ::taking notes::   do you play an instrument?  do you have to 'really' perform (sing/play) or is scripted performance okay?  ::digging out my 'we will rock you' bagpipes...::

 

hahhaha, rob!  i do that too.  sometimes.  ;D

 

 

i did try out the GTFO.  i like it!  wee wonders put out a free dinkie heckicopter, and i edited it and the scripts... well, i still have to use a messenger bag and the free trial hud so far, but... in an aircraft, the danger of crashing is kinda realistic.  though actually, i haven't crashed the client.  been hit by some no-object-entry parcels and one zero-warning security orb.  but by and large, it's gone well!

it's a bit like sid meier's pirates of the carribean, or uncharted waters online.  but the thing i liked in those games (besides learning a LOT of geography), was you could pick up goods in one port and then find the best other port to sell them for the best profit.  gtfo is a little more simplistic in that respect, but still...  you need some orienteering skills, map-reading, predicting if a fancy home has a security orb, PLUS the skill to land the chopper.

i juiced up the heckicopter speed, but it still travels fairly slowly, enough to have some text convo with my copilot.  very enjoyable.

 

 

keep 'em coming, guys!  we need more variety of entertainment!

 

Really busk, not scripted 😁

 

[New Linden Lab / Second Life Mesh Avatars!!]

For me is too soon in the development process of this technology to thrust on the new residents.  This just started to appear a a day or so ago and we have newbies buying freebie system skins and clothing and not being able to work out why it doesnt change...taking off alphas and ending up with two bodies...trying to edit shapes and cant work out why it doesnt change much

There doesnt seem to be any guidance with these its just chuck em in and let em get on with it.  The shapes are odd to say the least - weird proportioned hands and feet, strangely shaped faces and just nasty skins

Why didnt we have some decent avatars with nice mesh clothing first and then move onto full fitted mesh bodies once the use was wider spread and the choice of freebies to work with it a bit larger?

Plus you still don't give them any kind of decent ao which is one of the first things any newbie wants!

Too much too soon and leave the ordinary users and merchants to try and help clear it up...

[Is the heel-click sound evil?]

For me I would say turn off - especially in no script zones.  The area I work is no scripts and I sometimes get to screaming point by a clicky heel getting stuck and just going on and on and on and....you get the idea

But I have a favourite pair of boots with a clicky heel that are unmodifiable...how do I turn this off anyone! I want to wear them again

[Sexual harrassment]

I literally could not believe my eyes when I read that blog.  I went in there expecting you to have maybe pushed too far and got a knock back.  But nothing!!  That is possibly the nicest most polite come on I have ever read....

Olsin you are a gentleman and I think you should just think one thing.  People like this are too low life to even matter - their opinions should not even register.  Be clear than no one sane, sensible or with half a brain will read that blog and agree with her as shown by the posted comments.  Do not stoop to her level (thinking backhoe) and just realise you will never win with such trolls as this and ignore she even exists.

*Shakes her working half a brain and goes back to work with anger vented
