  1. I want a prosthetic arm rigged to fit Reborn multiple bodies, that looks fantasy style rather than sci-fi/cyberpunk. Like it's made of mithril and works by magic.
  2. My brother did, for about a year, until he passed away. No-one else in my family even knows what SL is, and I wouldn't tell them.
  3. I think having RL info in a post would be a legitimate reason to ask for its removal, and I'm pretty sure the Lab would comply in that sort of case.
  4. Honestly I think both bodies are going to be sticking around for the long haul. My advice would be to demo both and see which shape you like best. Reborn has a distinctly large ass, so if you don't like that, Legacy would be the better option. Legacy is more versatile in terms of shape. But it's more complex (both the mesh model itself, and the useage of the hud), and it's no-mod which is pretty much a dealbreaker for me, so although I own it, I rarely wear it. Worth noting that Legacy includes deformers which also allow you to wear clothing made for Maitreya 5.3 (not LaraX). In the end, the main consideration should be which body gets you the shape that you like best. Both are going to give you plenty of clothing options.
  5. You can get into trouble for usng images of band logos or album covers, but there's no restriction on just naming a band. Even if you did use a copyright image, you'd get a warning first and be asked to remove it, rather than getting banned outright. Technically just DJing at all in SL is illegal, unless you actually have a public performance license, but AFAIK no-one ever gets into trouble for it.
  6. My alt Nel originally started as a challenge to make a decent account from scratch with zero money, just freebies. There's even a thread in the forum about it somewhere, around four or five years ago. Yeah, no. That lasted about a month 😆. These days Nel is used almost solely for playing a particular inworld game. My main (this account) has a long friendslist and it's pretty much impossible to play that game whilst I'm being distracted by IMs. So when I want to play, I bring out Nel. The only friend on their friendlist is my partner. I have on occasion introduced Nel to some of my friends. We share the same (display) last name and Nel has me in their picks. But I don't friend other people on Nel; if someone asks to friend them, I direct them to send a request to me instead. Occasionally they do but usually they don't bother.
  7. The problem with the Catwa heads is that (aside from their newest release) they use only the original SLUV map, not the EVOX map that Lelutka and some other brands use. On top of that, most new skin and makeup releases now are for EVOX only. So, it depends whether you're happy with the skin and cosmetics you have now, or that you're still able to buy older ones rather than the latest releases. The story with Kupra is much the same - the creators that were makig clothing for it have stopped and switched to Reborn as a replacement. So again - it depends if you want to get the newest clothing releases or you're happy with the older stuff made for Kupra that's still available. Personally, I am staying with my Catwa head because it's the perfect shape for me, I cannot get the right shape with any Lelutka head (and I have tried at least a demo of literally every single one they've made). So I put up with old makeup. As for bodies, I use several, and switch them depending on the outfit I'm wearing. I can buy pretty much ANY outfit and know that at least one of my bodies will be able to wear it.
  8. This sounds like it's for house models for an upcoming theme though, not for regions.
  9. Magika has some lovely mane-like styles: Here's a few of varying lengths that either work as-is for men, or have a male fit included.
  10. £8 a month (around $9-10) or £65 for a year (about $80)
  11. It's been a long time since I last wore a tux. Finally found one that fits.
  12. I stayed on Flickr, I just deleted all my NSFW stuff. Which was necessary anyway, to stay below the 1000-pic limit. They have priced me out of the possibility of going pro.
  13. If someone defriended me I likely wouldn't even notice, never mind want to chase them with my alt. Then again, if you met my alt, you'd know immediately on looking at their profile that they're my alt. The only differences are the lack of boobies and brown hair instead of red. I won't let my alt near the forum. All they'll do is make snarky comments at me. 😁
  14. Level up the challenge by going to a gay club. 😆
  15. If the Lindens want to keep the "newest release at the top" rule, a simple solution would be to prevent selection of any parcel that has already been owned by you within the last 24 hours. That way, they can still keep their system but eliminate frustration for users. That said, it really sucks. What's the point of having 300 really nice Chalet properties if all 2200 of the crap ones need to be actively occupied before anyone can get one? They may as well not have built them at all.
  16. I've updated my profile pic (in Firestorm) with a 1024 square image. It looks perfectly clear and sharp when fully opened but when displayed on my actual profile, its blurry. I tried several diferent images with the same issue and then I tried uploading a 2048 square image instead but apparently that's no longer possible. I tried my previous pic which was nice and sharp before, but that is also blurry now. Is there a workaround for this problem?
  17. For me it would be beach-front properties on sandy land. But they won't do that because there are other themes which offer it.
  18. Body - Because you want fantasy/historical costume options, your current best body is Maitreya Lara 5.3. There aren't a lot of fantasy/historical options for any other body yet. With the recent launch of LaraX, this is likely to change over the next year or two but it remains to be seen whether the main body picked up by these costume creators will be Reborn, Legacy or LaraX. It'll almost certainly be one of those three. So for now, you want Maitreya 5.3 but you'll almost certaily wanting to change this in a year or two. If you dislike Maitreya and want something a little curvier, Belleza Freya is your second-best bet for now (plus its cheap), and again, upgrade to something new in a year or two. Most if not all of your Slink Hourglass outfits will likely include a fit for Freya as well. My money for the next body to get into the fantasy scene is on Reborn. Heads - There isn't really one single head that's super versatile in terms of shape. You'll need to try every demo you can find to see what you like, and if you want lots and lots of very different head shapes, you'll be looking at purchasing more than one head to meet your differing needs. Lelutka is the leading brand, also check out AK, LAQ, Catwa and Genus (there's still a free head at Genus). Skins - sorry I can't help with this, I haven't been skin shopping since 2018. My only advice is to shop for your skin before shopping for your head. The chosen skin will tell you what brand head you need to be looking for. Make sure it has BOM capability. Appliers are obsolete now. Hair - MAGIKA!!! Seriously, the textures on Magika hair are amazing, theres a wide rainge of colurs including ombres and highlights. They're not cheap, but IMO worth every L$. They have a handful of braids/buns/updos but the long-and-loose styles are just gorgeous, I rarely wear anything else. Doux is worth checking out especially for the ombres/browns, but they don't have as many multi-colour choices. Exile is another one with great colour choices but wait on this brand until you decide what head you're getting. Most of them are too big to fit Lelutka heads.
  19. Is the Zooby baby still the best one? Or are there any newer, better alternatives?
  20. Some time in July 2018, I decided to get a Maitreya body, because there weren't (and still aren't) enough fantasy clothing options for men. My intention was to wear it only for said costumes. Once a week, maximum. Yeah, no. It didn't work like that. I have worn my male body only once since then, and probably won't wear it ever again.
  21. I'll be interested if they re-release older heads (including Queen) with EVOX. But for now, I have no desire to pay for a head that I like less than the one I currently have.
  22. I think the circle is the optimum size and shape for all the avatars to be within whisper distance of all the others. Each ring will have one "real" player and a bunch of "subjects", all doing trade deals and suchlike with each other. It's nearly always 11 or 12. What surprises me though, is that there are so many people/bots still playing it after all these years.
  23. Grey crosshairs are idle; the other person isn't looking anywhere in particular, it's just the way the viewer works when someone speaks and nearby avatars "look" at them. The user of the avatar doesn't notice this action and doesn't focus on you. It's pink crosshairs that show when someone is actively loking at you. I don't think there's a way to spread the names out or move them, but changing your camera angle and/or zooming in on yourself might help. It's been years since I used LookAt so I don't really remember how it behaves.
  24. I just did a quick test of this, with me (on Firestorm) and my alt (on the official viewer). The newest versions of both viewers. In both cases we see our own and the other account's hands the correct size. Maybe it's body-related? Lara 5.3 and Reborn, in our cases so, could it be a Legacy thing? Something to do with their hand AO? Can't imagine it would be any other body if the OP is seeing it so often. Two possibilities I can think of: 1. OP's viewer installation is corrupted. Try a clean re-install. 2. Rowan is right and it's a horrible new trend.
