I gotta be honest if it was adults it'd be one thing. I'd say wear what you wanna wear. Kids are a different story. Ya go to school to learn not for a fashion show. I'd have to say I am with the school on this one. Wouldn't be my girls. The coversation would be something like this. Dad: Go change. Daughter: But Dad... Dad: Shut up ya know why. lmao End of conversation. lmao

I think in alot of aspects you might have just hit the nail closer on the head right there Muletta. And Bree I wouldn't think. I don't have issues holding conversations with anyone else. I probably do fit the definition of an introvert in some ways, but when your able to hold a conversation with every other being on the planet no problems except just one person then that's a good indicator something just don't fit right in to the mix anymore. I think Muletta got it right though. At some point it stopped being a real friendship and turned in to me just being the option guy. So option guy told her to go kick rocks. Problem solved. lol And ZoeTick, lmao just lmao at your comment. Between you and some of the other funny comments I read if nothing else I have gotten a good laugh out of it all. So thanks for that. lol There were alot of underlined issues with this friendship/relationship I didn't want to get into, but sufficet to say when someone makes you feel like you have to check in with them all the time and then when you do spend time with them they make it uncomfortable for you. That's a problem. When they log in to other gaming clients for the sole purpose of giving you grief because your not spending 110% of your time up thier behind that too is also a problem. Nobody likes a stalker. And honestly I was over looking alot of stuff, but I woke up the other day and it all just hit me wrong. So I basically exited myself out of that entire situation all together. Again I wanna say thanks to everyone for the imput. It definaately helped me do what I already knew I needed to do. Happy gaming everyone.

Bree Giffen wrote: Velk, so you're saying that SL is being banned not because of content violating the Twitch rules of conduct but because SL is not considered to be 'video gaming related activities' as per the Twitch terms of service? I suppose that's a plausible reason why SL was banned. Well if I had to guess I am thinking it's because they don't want people streaming the adult content. They are not going to police the content uploaded by users from a single game so really that's the best way to avoid a situation all together. That's how I am seeing it on why they might have added it to the list.

Hey I am gonna put it out like this and the same thing applies to men too. This has been my experiance. First most men do not care if a woman changes her av, but if your in a relationship they do like to feel some what included in on what your doing. Because if your woman just up and changes her av apearance and her reason is cause her so called guy friend said it would look better. That's your tell tell sign right there she's cheating. It ain't the fact men have a issue with ya changing your avatar, but we are gonna want to know why. lol Plus it's little things too. You get use to seeing a certain av look with your woman it's take a minute to get use to a totally new one. My last SL relationship we had taken tons of pictures and I mean tons and then certain folks got into her head and she changed her av so many times unless you read the name over her head you wouldn't recognize her. And not once were any of those changes based off my thoughts or feelings. I just logged in to change. So it's not the actual av change that effects or impacts the relationship what it is, is the reasons behind the change. That's what more often then not causes problems right there.

The thing you got to understand though is SL by a slim margin is classed as an actual mmorpg by the gaming community. Most do not consider it an actual game. Most gamers look at SL as being closer related to being a social network something like what RLD is. So in all reality I am not surprised it was banned by Twitch.

I am a blunt person and trying to work this out without exactly being mean even though I should be given what I been threw with this person. I was asked to come back and play SL and basically the person who asked me back decided not to play anymore. That's fine and all, but really we don't play anything else together really. We tried and it didn't really work out for me. It just wasn't a fun experiance. So I am sitting with her on skype and I am expected to lead the conversatiion. She hardly says anything unless I ask direct questions. Yet if a friend calls male or female she's quick to hop on the phone and it's a gab feast from then on out, but when it goes back to talking to me I feel like I am pulling teeth. So I am left sitting there bored out of my mind. I have in the best way I know possible tried to relate the differance on how she is and even sugested contributing to the conversation would not hurt any. If I try to discuss anything serious or that I feel important to me it doesnt go well and yet I am expected to listen to all her bs though and be all understanding like. I even flat out asked why do you insist on having me on skype if your hardly talk? That conversation really went no where at all. So I am now trying to work out a nice way of saying hey I don't mind talking on skype spending time with ya and all, but if something don't give don't expect me to sit here bored out of my mind all day with your behind listening to you holding actual real conversations with everyone, but me. lol I mean it's funny, but it's not because I am already thinking of ways or reasons to not like be around at all. lmao So all that being said anyone have any sugestions by chance? This is quite boring in itself. I can't be certain though because I couldn't be bothered to read it all. You were obviously dumb enough to be bothered to comment on it though. lmao

Just out of curiosity now... if you did want to be blunt with her, what exactly would you say and/or do? I would tell her straight to the point. You getting on my last nerve. Tired of doing breathing exercises, the stalker crap when I am not on was funny and cute at first, but it's not funny anymore. Ya get zero ha ha's for pulling that crap. If I am not on skype don't bring your behind on steam Iming me asking why I am not on skype. If I am on facebook I don't need you checking what my last log in time was and complaining that I was not on skype. You wanna talk don't expect me to lead the entire conversation. You got buisness to handle then handle it don't call me on the phone and have me listen to the sound of your freaking chair farts as you twist around running your mouth 90 to nothing and then wanna do deep breathing exercises with me. And finally everytime you jump on the band wagon and decide to do something because someone elses is doing it don't expect me to follow suit if it's not my thing. Stop trying to change who I am. Talk, laugh, have a good time, but for crying out loud pull the stick out your butt and cut stalker crap off because all my friendss don't call you by name anymore. They refer to you as my stalker. When I am on teamspeak I get asked by the guys how is my stalker doing? That's not funny or cute. lol How you like my bluntness so far Ren? lol That's just the warm up taste. As I said I am trying to not be mean. lmao Now this part of my reply is to those who ask or said did I think it might be me that was boring? Absolutely not. I do stuff. I have zero problems with keeping things interesting. People including the one I am having my issues with hit me up for ideas on things to do. The problem I think is she expects me to always be there because I am a ride or die type of person. We have hung out years both in and out of SL and now she's going threw this phase cause of this one idiot friend she runs with where if her friends doesn't do something then she doesn't do it. If her friend does it then she does it. That has bled and almost wrecked our friendship. Right now her friend stop playing so she stopped. No big deal, but you wasted my time asking me to reinstall to come back if your just gonna quit. You still wanna hang out, but you can't offer up anything to do. My sugestions were shot down. I even tried letting her hang with my crew of over 10 years together and that didn't work out for long, Long story short she tried to start drama with me and a friend so she got her behind kicked out the club so to speak. lol We have a zero tolerance policy for BS basically. House rules. She has friends or ties with certain people I absolutely detest which is another long story. I don't say anything about that. In return though I don't expect to get grief when I go hang out with my crew for awhile. She doesn't respect that. End result though I am thinking is going to mostly likely be this. I have read what everyone has said and I apriciate the feed back from you all. So I do wanna say thank you to everyone for that. The last comment had me laugh and as much as I hate to loose any friendship or relationship I had for years I am just like ya I am thinking time for a serious change in the station program is about over due. There is a phrase I like that I sometimes hear the ladies say,"My Martha Stewart is about all used up.".lol Because I am like at a totally loss with this person and my nice card is all maxed out right about now. lmao

Oh I am not on cam on skype. It's just a voice call. Actaully I have started this thing where I will start playing one of my games while she does whatever, but then she gets pissy when I am like huh? You talking to me? lol Or the newest thing I have done is hop on teamspeak and start talking to friends and she comes back like who you tallking to? I am like well it wasn't you. lol

I was asked to come back and play SL and ...<snips alot of stuff >... So all that being said anyone have any sugestions by chance? If you are blunt, why weren't you blunt in your OP? It sounds like you are the background noise to the rest of her life. Try telling her that. Or, just stop Skyping. She sounds like she's got plenty of other calls going on. I was pretty straight forward in my OP. I have been trying to taper it and use alittle more tact given I tend to say what I think alot. I don't got a problem with being blunt, but it's doing it in a tactful way as to not come across rude or hurful to someone. Trust me anyone who knows me will tell you when I've had enough tact goes out the window. lol The reason for this post was to find a more tactful sugestion rather then me just flat out going on full on blast. I have done that before being honest. I flat out said look call me when your done with your phone calls and everyone. Don't call me and have me listening to all that BS cause there is no need for it. That basically started a fight. I am trying to be nice dang it. lol ATM I am reading and taking in what everyone has to say about thier thoughts on it. To be honest I am pretty much agreeing with everything I have read so far.

From day one until now I have probably thrown away well over 5 grand rl cash into this game over the course of time. I don't regret it because I enjoyed everything I used the money for. Would I do it again? Absolutely not. Outside of 20 bucks in the last 2 years I'd not drop another single dime into the game. Reason being when my RL wife had her avatar logged in without her knowledge by a person living with us at the time he got her account banned as well as gave me problems with mine that took several months to sort out and she tried to contact LL about it they would not assist or help her sort the situation out in anyway. End result is she lost her AV and anything she had put in to the game herself. So after that happened I refuse to give them anymore of my money. The 20 bucks thing was because of a friend. Alot of people like myself have stopped really putting any money into SL because of poor customer service by LL to be totally honest. I gave them alot of money I mean ALOT of money and to have poor service like that? Not in this lifetime. So until they step up game and restore her AV I all, but pretty much boycotted SL.

Not sure if this applies to objects, but I noticed on some old pictures when I opened them up the upload dates are incorrect. Only reason I noticed this is because pictures showing me in two different locations and events where shown uploaded at the same time. Since these were taken actually ingame and not uploaded out of game and I never upload in bulk it was obvious they were incorrect. Especially ones I knew were from 2011 showing as taken in 2012. It seems afew of them are showing Jan. 2012 and I noticed the same with some other pictures that were sent to me as well. So just letting everyone know so they don't get confused the same way I did.

I don't feel so bad then. Most people I know always give me crap cause of my inventory size saying it's why I am having issues, but I am like on my gaming rig I have no issues loading in what so ever, but since it is out of commission atm I am forced to use my laptop which is fine, but when it comes to loading SL for some reason on Firestorm I always have issues. I got Singularity up and fine, but I rather run it full screen it seems to load the world faster that way, but the interface bugs out on me every time. Also wondering if down grading to a 32 bit viewer would make a difference. I normally run 64 bit. I figured I ask other residents who have been playing more recently then I have though.

Thanks I'll check that out on the Firestorm viewer. I apriciate it. I manage to get Singularity up no problems finally. Only thing with it is when I pop fullscreen mode on it the interface half of it goes invisible on me. Like my menu up top vanishes, but i see the names and background chat windows and stuff are invisble, but I see the words and the chat part where ya type is grey. I have to go back to window mode and restart to sort it out. How do you full screen without the view messing up like that? I am thinking that's a Singularity issue myself and wouldn't have that issue on Firstorm. I tried asking in the group, but got ignored by everyone except one guy who was actually nice enough to IM me on it, but poor fellow was about as clueless as I was on what was causing it. lol I am running windows 8.1 if that heps any. I remember having that problem once before with that viewer, but I been off SL so long I forgot how I fixed it in the first place. lol So any help on that would be apriciated too. Thanks in advance.

Been debating on trying SL again after a year off. My issue is this. I load fine on first load or after i clear cache. However I have a large inventory about 78k of stuff over the years. Once I load and go to relog so it will set and I don't have to wait on it no more I have issues logging in. With Firestorm load screen hangs or it loads slow until I loose connection. With Singularity I get a messages about unable to load a gesture and ding I am offline. Anyone know a way to fix this outside or clearing cache all the time or deleting half my crap? Thanks in advance.

Ya, but when I call they can only seem to discuss billing concerns. They can't seem to discuss any other issues or answer simple questions and using the ticket system just ain't working cause all I am getting is copy and paste text book answers rather then the actual issue being discussed. That's just not cosure.

You mean to tell me out of the entire company of Linden Labs ya'll do not have nobody who can get on the phone to discuss account problems outside of billing issues? Really? Not a big motivator to keep investing money with this company.

I was cyber stalked by my ex (deleted: Personal Negative Commentary). That was one chick that the motor was running, but no one was behind the wheel. lol Would message me and I'd respond and then would turn around and claim I was stalking her and be having other people message me as well. That was one relationship I didn't just walk out of, but I ran like hell. lmao

Movies in the adobe flash player format won't play in SL for me no more, but they will in my web browser. Anyone know how to fix this issue? I am using a new pc an everything is installed fresh so not getting what the issue is or why I am even having it.
