Had fun on a livestream earlier redecorating my place then hanging out and exploring with some of my friends c=

SL is cooler than myspace or friendster c=

Oh my it's Kavya (I know her on Linkedin and have read some of her articles about working on LL while she was still working with LL, which was positive at the time), it makes me a bit sad to see her doing this especially with the overt political overtones, I just wish this whole thing would be resolved smoothly without any negative impact to us residents, as most of these kinda things, contrary to the proclaimed intent, usually never end up improving anything

It's happening right now! https://www.youtube.com/c/NateAbisu/live Edit: Here are the replays of the livestream c=

It's under "Move & View", and as someone already explained in the post it basically stops your vehicle for a bit depending on how heavy the vehicle is in term of script / complexity if the thing is set on "stop". Good vehicles usually cross in around or less than 1 second, but most vehicles don't cross that fast. The feature is great when it works as intended, but most of the time it just sends vehicles flying around clientside for a few seconds. Interesting to see people who prefer the prediction feature turned on, because every explorer I've met prefer it being turned off once they know they can. I'll post a gif showing a comparison of a vehicle's behavior between when it's turned on and off. Edit: Here's the gifs Prediction turned off in slow speed: https://gyazo.com/13db14e124a06487b9355cf2b3381b66 Prediction turned on in slow speed: https://gyazo.com/1f6945e7a12f2196ca6925284b774e60 Prediction turned on in high speed: https://gyazo.com/27a67619e5d7bd7210a9ef442010ad1a And this test was done with a well-scripted car, most cars on SL use the ACS script which is much heavier than this and usually takes longer to cross Edit 2: Maybe if it can be made so when someone's on foot, then prediction is turned on, and when someone's in a vehicle (sitting on an object) then the prediction is turned off, then it would be a great compromise (with the option for those who like them always turned on being able to turn it on at all times, of course)

To those who are not familiar with what region crossing prediction is, it's basically the thing which most of the time makes your vehicle seems as if they're flying around or phase into the ground on region crossings. The intent behind the feature was good as to make region crossings more seamless but it does exactly the opposite, making the idea of SL exploration a joke to many people who are unaware of the effect being caused by the feature. Literally almost everyone I know don't know what this feature is, what it does and that it can be turned off, and many of those people just think it's just lag, giving mainland and the idea of mainland exploration an even worse unfounded bad reputation than it already has. So many people don't know that SL has connected mainland continents, roads and oceans, and so many people think that "mainland is just laggier by default" which is a technical myth that's somehow sustained over the years, and having people think vehicles would just normally go flying around on mainland adds up to the misinformation about mainland and SL exploration. I wish LL and TPVs would have this setting turned off by default , what do you guys think?

Some behind the scenes stuff from my previous "7 Years In Second Life" video, and my upcoming Second Life sailing / flying / driving communities / exploration video c=

Found this plane perfectly balanced and rotating around an obelisk for who knows how many years now (I've seen many of that kinda obelisk land around mainland, but never 1 with a plane stuck on it lol, someone must've crashed into it or crashed far away then the plane flew there) https://gyazo.com/fb56e1ce7adcb2e80e88fc413c599c7a

Land's still available!

Considering the huge amount of userbase and sizable market SL has, I'm sure either LL or someone else would try to recreate it in some way somehow

Making a new topic of this to be more clear on the title, the land can be found here guys c= contact me for inquiries and offers

Land's still available, the water is sailable, contact me for inquiries or offers c=

Parcel's still available!

Land's still available, IM me your offers inworld c=

Don't usually post my livestream replays here, but the boat race was really unique! it's always really fun to showcase SL's exploration communities c= ❤️ (or part of it)

Parcel's still available!

Land's still available for 30k c=, contact me for inquiries

VES is moving, so I'm selling the land c= anyone who's interested can visit it here. It has both roadside and water access with a very big water area (you can fit even 100ft+ boats) Contact me inworld if you're interested or want to talk about it, the land is set for sale already 0

Whoot! Didn't know this thread exist, took and posted this online earlier c=

If you're a member of the group that owns the land, you can set your home on their lands. Or you can always set home at a Linden-owned mainland infohub

Tens of millions seems like a lot and does sound like a reasonable amount of Lindens on inactive accounts but in the grand scheme of SL economy it isn't that much (hundreds of thousands of dollars)

Thanks Susan! I did my best c=

Whoot, finally finished this \ o / naming it "Virtual World" in the main title instead of "Second Life" (it's in the end of the title though) to get people who don't know about Second Life yet to see it 😛 hopefully many will Edit; After some commenters and friends advised that I should make my main narration part more audible, I reuploaded it here; The original video I uploaded will still be there for those who have gotten the old link!

I'm not saying they should stop posting stuff anywhere else, but having a dedicated region or two for the thing I mentioned wouldn't hurt. They can put a scripted afk kicker too to prevent people from camping the place

Since it looks pretty unlikely that LL will rollback their decision of the fee change, even with the many backlashes, even among my friends who choose to partially or fully downgrade, or cancel their plan to go premium, I guess this kind of stuff would be a worthy perk for premium members after the price increase : P A very reasonable request too on a technical standpoint since LL don't need to develop or program new things to accommodate this Half being silly and half being serious
