Silly Ideas to Fix Second Life
Arduenn Schwartzman replied to Charlemagne Allen's topic in General Discussion Forum
SL needs more talking internal organs, not just wombs with fetuses, but spleens, kidneys, livers, gall bladders, etc. They'll make Local Chat so much more lively.- 65 replies

Is PIOF essentially "Age Verification"?
Arduenn Schwartzman replied to Love Zhaoying's topic in General Discussion Forum
I think it's more of a 'serious SL account' versus 'anonymous troll acount' verification thing. Btw, age verification is a complete joke, to keep a bunch of not so tech savvy lawmaker dinosaurs happy. "You must be 18 to enter this website." .... "OK".... *click* -
What year is considered oldbie?

Oldbies will remember a time when prim torture was still acceptable. -
Official Statement from Oberwolf Linden
Arduenn Schwartzman replied to Scylla Rhiadra's topic in General Discussion Forum
How do you figure? 1 meter is 1 meter. People in SL can be taller than in SL, because: status, power, strength. This drove most avatars in SL to evolve as taller beings than they are IRL. As a consequence, houses are bigger in SL, furniture is bugger, Land Impacts are higher. All because some people want to be bigger than others. All in all, I would say, 1 meter IRL corresponds to 1.25 m in SL. -

From a creator's perspective, when you look at a product that you made in the past and think: 'I would have done that way better now.' -

WTF has trafficking to do with anything in this topic? I don't see it mentioned anywhere. I don't see it implied anywhere. Now, excuse me, while I enjoy my pizza Hawaii with extra pineapple! -
For what does SL use double clicks?
Arduenn Schwartzman replied to animats's topic in General Discussion Forum
Boomers always double-click on hyperlinks. [Edit] Double clicks can not be distinguished from single clicks by scripted objects in SL, if the click interval is less than 0.1 seconds. This is, in my personal opinion, way too long. An object should be able to distinguish double clicks that are 0.05 seconds apart, or less. It's an SL shortcoming, so I won't design anything in SL that requires a double click. -
Give me strength. I already have a hard time interacting with real people.

I am not kidding when I say that there are clapping butt cheek sounds out there that are built into the butt. -
Shop (store) ideas that won't fly
Arduenn Schwartzman replied to Raspberry Crystal's topic in General Discussion Forum
I've seriously considered making fountain pens in SL, but I've been struggling thinking of any decent implementation other than decoration. Actually using them in-world would be nothing like using them in real life, with all the nuances of fine to broad or calligraphic nibs, stiff, flexible, scratchy, smooth, bleeding inks, feathering, shading, shimmering, sheening, wet, dry. railroading, inky fingers... [Edit] Inky fingers, I could do. -

Physically accurate anything, really. I've had people complain that my flame animations weren't slow-motion enough. -
Just discovered this -- Agni?? Huh? lol
Arduenn Schwartzman replied to Constance Finchy's topic in General Discussion Forum
In the late 80s and early 90s. network admins had the habit of naming their servers after all kinds of ancient gods, Green, Roman and here at LL, apparently, Hindu. Back in the days of Telnet, FTP and very small DNA databases, I mostly encountered servers with names of Egyptian gods and Pharaos. -
Can a creator demand this?

Can a creator demand this?
Arduenn Schwartzman replied to SwagART's topic in General Discussion Forum
How was it not as advertised? Things may not seem as advertised for several reasons: 1. What a product looks like depends on the environment setting. 2. The product picture was subject to severe post-processing in Photoshop. 3. The ad was not from an in-world snapshot, but rendered in 3D software. 4. Features were listed in the ad that were absent from the actual product. If you are specific in your criticism and the criticism is obvious and justified, LL does not take the review down. However, if you are vague, or if it's technically out of the hands of the creator, like in point 1, LL might just take it away. The creator is not entirely absolved in case of #1, though. They may just anticipate their product at least looking decent under crappy EEP circumstances. I fear, this will become more of an issue with PBR, though. -

A bag with 16 Chupa Chups costs 1.99 Euros at the Albert Heijn. If I win one million Euros at the lottery, I will be the happy owner of 8,040,201 Chupa Chups. -
why having or beeing an alt is consider bad?
Arduenn Schwartzman replied to Gabriel Isodo's topic in General Discussion Forum
Alts can be pretty loud when they are on the phone. And sometimes they smell. But, hey, not all alts are bad. Some of my best friends are alts. I even touched an alt once, and it didn't gross me out at all.
