    Kissling? the automated vehicles there are a bit strange how they go round the roads enough to make you feel travel sick, but it is possible to ride one of you can right click quick enough

    This one might be a bit hard since it won't have been used for it's original purpose for many years

    A good one! Mouldy Mole's Temple of the Prim, Kwaito 148, 87, 180.  I especially like the Wall Map of the Old Second Life World.

    Here's mine - (I'm in the Hippo suit I got in I-World)

    That looks like the circular wall around Nautilus City possibly at Dido judging by what's on the map

     

    Where is this?

    I believe this is the Bay City Aquarium - Oak Bay - 132,198,32 - I think Gage Wirefly guessed it first.

    By lucky chance I found it - Linden Village Main Landing Point, Kirby (172,208,44) - an impressive build. 

    I've added another clue to help you find Guaca Mole's site. (above)

    There are wonderful parcels in Bellisseria, but I wanted to also have a place where I wouldn't have to worry about offending my neighbors.

    Found this 1024 while I was looking for something else. I didn't check carefully enough and it turns out most of it is under water. I decided to put a small gazebo and pier on it and build the rest in the sky.

    added a clue

    Back when the world was young.  So much has changed since then!

    First clue: Land around the excavation site sells for a hefty price.

    added clue

    I believe that is the lighthouse in Gaeta, Lastness Region in the Coastal Waterway 214,104,22?

     

    Now, is anyone brilliant enough to figure out where this is? (The clue is in the question.)

    Game of Homes - What Do You Want?

    still trying for perfection

    Today I decided "one last try and I will settle for whatever I get and stay put for awhile". The giver-of-homes was wonky - i could not teleport from the page or the map, so I tried to remember where on the map my new place was, use the in-world map to go to the Region, and then walk around clicking on parcels until I found which one was mine. I tried different stilts, and a log house, and on my last attempt I tried for a houseboat. On the map it looked great, until I found the spot.....I forgot one thing for a "perfect place" - there should be a structure on it....

    *censored* covid isolation

    Thankfully I live in a retirement community where we have some limited social interactions (6 feet apart, outdoors), otherwise I think I WOULD go crazy.

    Yesterday we had to drive to the bank and the petfood store. It was an adventure.

    I'm not very social in Second Life, but I am spending more time there since the corona.

    Besides sex, what are ppl into these days in Second Life?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    I spend most of my time wandering, taking pictures, playing "Game of Homes" (both in Bellisseria and Mainland) and just wondering at all the things that Second Life Residents and The Moles have created.

    I have dabbled at being a real estate baron, builder, and scripter, but have given up that fight for the time being. Maybe this year I'll try to tackle Blender again...

    Pixel sex? I'm very afraid that anyone whose first experience with 'sex' is in Second Life is going to be disappointed. I imagine a wedding night "What do you mean, your thing doesn't talk?"

    Sorry.

    afterthoughts

    I confess I've been playing GOH lately, and I've been trying to figure out what it is I'm looking for. I tried to put together some thoughts:

    • square plot or end of row (houseboat)
    • view
    • attached to land (houseboats, stilts)
    • privacy - or at least one view without another structure
    • protected water nearby
    • place to put a boat and a place to sail (I'm not a good navigator and I need a wide straight channel)
    • neighbors who don't have flourescent palm trees
    • not a parcel with uncertain future - will the empty space next door be more houses or something nice?
    • A place that "feels right".

    I know I'm asking a lot - what do you think?

    Second Life Endowment for the Arts is Open

    in Favorite Destinations

    Clumsy typing.

    Second Life Endowment for the Arts (SLEA) is open. Like LEA, it provides multiple regions of space for artists to display their work. The region schedule currently shows the regions being assigned to artists for a two- to three-month period; although one of the regions seems to be allowing individual artists one week slots. 

    Note: right now if you click the SL Map for SLEA 7 'landing hub' you will end up in the water. Try http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLEA7/29/31/55, or aim for the center of the blue circle in the lower left corner of SLEA7. You can get a hud there, and there are teleports nearby to take you to some of the smaller displays around SLEA7. Don't miss the wonderful Bridge Project!

    Right now there are art displays in three regions, and the last one is due to be finished by the end of January. 

    I recommend visiting it.

    I need a low-prim small house... all I can find are shacks and mansions

    Prim count and land impact are the same, just the old and (relatively) new name for it.

    ...

    I have a problem here because there is something that needs to be said but I shouldn't be the one to say it since I'm technically a competitor on the same market. Oh well here we go.

    The store you linked to keeps the land impact down by "cheating" on the LOD models. That means the walls tend to collapse even at fairly moderate view distances. This is rarely a problem inside a sky box but down on the ground, do you really want a house with walls that are invisible from the neighbour plot so people can see right into your house? I actually made that 1 LI house I linked to earlier specifically to give people something in the same style as these houses but without that flaw.

    Edit: If somebody feels I'm out of line by posting this, please feel free to report it to the moderators. I will respect their decision.

    When I'm shopping for buildings, I try to get as far away from the model as I can to see how it looks at a distance. 

    Also, beware of creators who say something like "If the structure does not look right to you, you need to improve your viewer settings."
