    so whats the difference between a gacha and a grab bag? its still a random item.  this is going to put a ton of people out of business and make shopping to give gifts much harder than it has to be.  I get that the global gaming laws are at issue but i guess my question is this.  what ARE we allowed to do? low cost, high traffic gacha vendors made things accessible that maybe a lot cant afford at 2 or 3 k each

     

    You can join these mainstore sale events. Saturday Sale, Miix, Wanderlust Weekend, Happy Weekend and so on. All these prices are under 100L. Much better than a gacha as they are copy. You get to choose which color/ print you want as everything in that sale section is priced the same.

    So Basically anyone who sells breedables and uses a vendor to sell multiple Items of the same breed but the rest of the items is unknown can no longer use vendors or gatchas to sell eggs, bundles, crates,  or whatever the babies birth as.  Because we would have to list every trait on all the breedables?  We can not just put a certain breed in a vendor with various traits. 

    You can, if you tell your customers to click the Info button on your scripted vendor system, and have a shortened url link to your FB page or Flickr ad photo and so forth, with the various traits for that specific breedable animal. I have added the Flickr link on all of my vendors(not gacha), so that they can see any additional details and see the ad photo at the high resolution.

    Yes, it's more effort but your customers will appreciate that.

    gachas are gambling, just as are lootboxes in mobile games.
    That's illegal according to the law of several countries LL operates in, and seriously frowned upon in many others.

    What surprises me is how it took them so long. Maybe they finally got a cease and desist letter from the EU.

    Gachas are NOT gambling. When you gamble in a casino, you are not guaranteed a win after putting up your money in the form of a bet amount. Gachas were inspired by the Japanese gachapon machines that you put coins in and get a prize in a plastic ball package. Those machines are placed in retail stores in malls. They show a picture of what you can get. Just like those machines in grocery stores, where you can get cheap little toys.

    You don't lose out on anything. The bonus was that you could resell the gacha on the marketplace or in-world, with the creator's permission. Then you are earning your money back for a common and making double or more back on rare products.

    I think because there is a gacha frenzy going on, it could be why LL wants to put a stop to it. Especially when people complain and say they want to buy a specific color/ pattern, but wanting it at the super cheap price of a gacha.

    This is actually helping creators to earn more profit with the actual value of the product's pricing point, instead of bending over backwards and selling under value.

  4. I invited a person to join SL. They said they made an account but haven't logged in-world yet. Do they have to login first for it to register with the search function? 

    I've tried both in-world and the website, and the name doesn't appear.

    That's snake oil salesman Klee Irwin's "Quantum Woo", Kytteh.

    You are wrong. I read the quantum woo and that has nothing to do with the 4th dimension. The 4th dimension is time, as Albert Einstein had discovered and predicted it to be. It is also mathematical . Had you done your research, you would know the theory is valid and real. Quantum woo is about "law of attraction" and "crystal healing". The demonstration of a crystal vase was to help you understand the dimensions of a crystal itself, to put it in layman's terms. This film I linked to is not related to that man's channel. There are countless videos, about the fourth dimension. Outside of videos, there are countless scientific journals talking about it. Try to do further research instead of skimming and not paying attention to what it is that you watch. Then you won't feel silly for stating it is a false claim. That man had also produced products that killed a person. The 4th dimension theory hurts no one. It is very easy to understand this theory, you just have to focus and pay attention. I'll allow you to search the web about it, instead of linking to numerous, legit sources.

    called representational drift, occurs in a variety of brain regions besides the piriform cortex. Its existence is clear; everything else is a mystery. 

    I love how we haven't been able to dissect the integral part of ourselves that controls everything we experience. It might not be meant to be discovered. Enjoy the process as it goes on its way, its "mysterious" pondering ways.

    Although it would be fascinating to unlock every chamber in the brain, to know the unknowable, to perhaps find there is more to what we have found thus far.

    Wouldn't it be neat to discover that there is indeed a wealth of information that we have yet to unlock, that could bring us to a new awareness about life itself?

    Well, you did say "...something that you think changes the way you can see, understand, at or experience the world."  Scripters deal with rotations every time we have to open a door or make a vehicle change direction, and this one concept is a key to understanding how they work... 

     

    I love the fourth dimension theory!

    I came across a fascinating video about it a few years ago.

    OMG I cannot believe I found it!

    I had to use "scientists explain the 4th dimension theory", to come across it amongst the many about this topic.

    This is a film and it's really amazing, beautiful captures, crisp. Just amazing! I think you will love it and it's easy to understand with how she explains it.

    The moderation team decides that

    There are plenty of posts on the forum, over the years, that are filled with harassment that the moderation team ignores. You have to constantly contact them to get them to open your reports or nothing is done. Unfortunately, not all companies enforce their own policies to a T.

    but it can't be that simple.

    Unfortunately it is. The web is overrun by preteens, teens and young adults across social media and inside SL as well. These are the ones who complain if your sentence has more than 4 words in it. Or if you write two sentences and more. I'm talking about my personal experiences.

    It's rare for me to meet mature adults who cannot handle a normal and long conversation.

     If people don't want to read what I wrote why not just scroll by?

    It is because we are dealing with young people with immature minds and short attention spans. they could be those who hated to read books in school. I recently dealt with young people complaining about Britney Spears posts on her Instagram. They only looked lengthy because of the way that IG is formatted. Yes, she does have posts that are several paragraphs, but that is called expressing your thoughts.

    It is why I don't like Twitter. So much censorship with word character limits.

    If you don't want to read, it's not needed for you to write a rude comment.

    People do it because they have the anonymity of the web. They can be mean as hell and get away with it.

    Yes, people's words do get under the skin. you see it all over social media, and how it affects people in the entertainment industry as well. 

    It's getting crazier out here on the wild west of the web with people attacking left and right.

    I'd love it if people could be nice or not say anything if they don't like what is there.

    What happened to common courtesy and politeness?

    What happened to the people who enjoy length discussions, in multiple paragraphs per post?

    Gone with the wind, like the classic movie, gone in the past.

    don't know where to go really

    Pride Festival SL. It started June 23rd and lasts 6 days. Clubs and stores are giving away free goodies. Clubs are giving away gift cards to popular stores and the clubs are also holding contests for themed looks. Participating locations will have the event kiosk inside their store/club. Live dj's and live singers(if applicable). Each day on the HUD, there is a list of places that tell you the entertainer names, set times, and a logo icon for each business. I just swept up free gifts at the Afterparty store from the June 23rd tab, 2 sets of LGBTQ pride flags in neon mesh. You can read about it on the event's blog,

    https://pridefestivalsl.wordpress.com/

    It says this year, Pride Festival is called “Traveling around the Metaverse“

    Edit: I see they have the slurl where you can grab the rainbow teleport HUD. There is also a gift and promo guide.

    Each HUD tab is shown larger sized and the people hosting these parties have the slurls on the blog as well.

    ...which is why I wrote my post. To give the OP an alternative and explain my reasoning for preferring it to the bodies given. 

    Fair enough. Just the way you wrote it, was putting down everyone else's suggestions because you don't like them.

    Maybe you could have said, "Personally, I am not into the suggestions above, but here is what I do love that I think you may like.

    "Flickr Bot"

    The flickr bot is separate from the staff who look at accounts that have had their content flagged by members. I too have had content flagged by the bot, because it could not tell the difference between a condom and a tide pod mouthie. It was very clear it was a tide pod but bots don't know that.

    Then I had an abstract 3D art piece in Zbrush I created,  and the bot also flagged that. It was a human heart and also a veggie but I think the crimson coloring made it seem x-rated, when it was not.

    After contacting Flickr about both to request they review my content, they allowed my change back to Safe for both.

    Definitely beyond frustrating with their dumb AI. 

    I think Flickr thinks porn in videos and photos not filtered correctly, doesn't matter to them like it used to. Maybe they are focusing their attentions to website bugs and spam accounts with phishing links.

    Understanding Safety Levels

    Her first and last photos are restricted, the other 2 are moderate.

    Unfortunately, Flickr is ignoring reports on accounts that don't filter their photos and videos correctly or have restricted content in videos which is disallowed. I had reported an account more than once with SL porn in videos and both times, my reports were ignored.

    I have seen real life photographers complain in the Flickr forum, that their reports for accounts with t&a set to safe were allowed to be there, because Flickr fails to follow through on their policies.

    Most likely nothing will happen to her account.

    /androgynous

    Lelutka has an androgynous head named River. I own it and it's amazing! You get both a male and female head with a beard for each head, a beard hud, head hud, skins etc. This is a bakes on mesh head and you can use appliers for the makeup. I'll link you to their Flickr. the first is an editorial photo of their River head,

    RIVER  - Sept 9th @ The Itty Bitty event

    The 2nd flickr photo is their ad for two heads, River is on the left,

  16. I created this in Adobe Fresco. I'm not sure if it is free as a stand alone software or if you have to have an annual plan with Adobe to acquire it. This is the limited free version I am using.

    My favorite brushes in Adobe Fresco are the watercolor brushes.

    I really love this piece I made. the colors blend nicely together. :)

    I call it, Sprays.
