    Could you please tell me in what way you see it as limiting?

    As I used to see it, photography in SL was less limiting than the one in RL because I didn't have to (for example) wake up at 4am and drive to the beach to catch that first morning sun, in SL I just set my windlight as needed. Or I don't have to write ads to find a specific kind of model - I can create it. I am curious to hear what limitations you had in mind? 

    Well, I mean the basic technicalities of photography. Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO aren't present, so you can't play around with what a photo would look like raw. In order to add the effects that they would normally give, they'd have to be post-processed which can be time consuming.

    I have to admit, this hit me. As someone who had a rez day during Second Life's prime days, I can understand your perspective.

    Back then, I had so many options of sims to go to; ranging from water parks, to arcades, to beaches, and to crowded sandboxes. These sims would always be so full of people who were always so willing to chat and interact. 15-20 avatars in the sims on average, making some noise, running around, rezzing vehicles and having fun, and trying out obsolete HUDs. I found it so easy to make friends who were so wholesome, so full of life, and always willing to talk.

    After taking a two year break from Second Life, starting I think around 2013 or 2014, I came back to my old hangout sims being shut down, new sims being so empty, and a friends list with the Online tab wiped dry.

    I do find these crowded sims every now and again, but even when there are lots of avatars, everyone is always too scared to talk, or probably in PMs, flirting!

    Something else I did notice was that the sims that were always most crowded were the ones that offered nudity and sex, including nude beaches and other content such as that, and when I do visit these, all people want to do is have sex then log off. It's kind of depressing. Was Second Life degraded to an interactive porn game?

     

    I too miss the old days of Second Life when it was really a social game. It's been difficult to make friends and find new sims that were considered fun, because people are either too rare or too shy. It's depressing. :(

    Hi. In-world name is Kiyoko, and I need a thread like this.

    Grew up covered in different forms of art; loved some, liked others. There is no bad art except art that is meaningless. I mainly surround myself in art forms like film, photography, sketching/painting, and music. I'm a photographer in real time, though I only recently began photography in Second Life, and it's kind of limiting so it's difficult for me to get a hang of. :D
