  1. Hi! You may also want to put a hosting job as consideration ESPECIALLY if you lack work experience. That's how I made a majority of my lindens when I first startsed and there are plenty of clubs hiring. Fun, simple, and profitable.
  2. Every time I read "Mozilla", I hear "Mozzarella" in my head. I'm hungry.
  3. Hello, As I know, Second Life doesn't run very well on wi-fi. However, I have no choice. Is there a way I can run SL well using wifi without other's interfering with my connection? Thank You!
  4. http://blog.nalates.net/2011/11/30/how-to-get-a-faster-second-life/ That helped me ALOT when considering on how I should build my PC. Keep in mind, the budget you have will only accomodate for a generally low-end PC and most computers that come with a good graphics card or other ghigh-end specs usually range from $900-1100 and even more! I'm not saying it won't work, I'm just saying don't hold your breath. Good luck and have a Happy New Years!~ =]
  5. Interesting! Also, disregard the link I gave. Val's is much more efficient. Guess they uploaded to vid to YouTube finally.(yay) Also, @everyone else, does anyone know the documentary where this one resident preferred SL more than RL and left a 10 episode machinima as an only clue before disappearing? Forgot the title. :L
  6. I would watch it here: http://www.tubeplus.me/ Then type in the title. Honestly, if you don't mind SL potrayed in a negative light or seeing the sad lives of individuals, why not? I actually like this documentary and watch it from time to time since I think it kinda has a bitter/sweet ending but that's my opinion.
  7. Glad you appreciate it! :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: That's and excellent idea! I noticed it's a bit difficult for some (especially if their newbies) to make/find friends. Most of my issues stemmed from going to a place that interested me but finding it deserted or that the few avi's there spoke a different language so communication is hard.
  8. Yeah now that you mention it, it kinda does... :matte-motes-bashful: Well take my word or not, it was just a question at the top of my head and you're free to answer or click on another thread.
  9. They say variety is the spice of life but, maybe not for some. How do you personally continue to find enjoyment in SL? Did you find that certain niche so that the luster of logging in hasn't fade away? Can you incorperate that same way of doing things into RL? Thank you and I look foward to your replies!
  10. Sup!Sup! \(^ o ^)/ So, usually I see SL shown in a kinda-ish bad light. It seems people find pointing out the flaws more enjoyable rather than noticing postives which isn't for EVERYONE but, I've seen a trend. If you look up certain documentaries, articles, and other pages through Google/Youtube, a majority of how SL is portayed is mostly with negative views showing how it can lead only through addiction, marriage problems, anti-social behavior, etc. Obviously, these statements may or may not be true depending on the person and usually the negative stuff sells. What really suprises me is that many people actually know what SL is from gamers to non-gamers and usually when a friend/family member/relative sees me while I'm on, I'm usually greeted with a response of "Is that the game where you can make money/have sex?" or "I seen that on the news, some weird things going on there." or along those lines. I would like to know from mostly the normies and not really the more strategic/talented/skilled users(but you are free to :) ) In what way has SL affected you life personally? It can be physically, emotinally, mentally, your view on RL, whatever. Also, do you think the reputation of SL keeps newbies from joining or has a part in it? Thank you for reading and I look foward to your responses!
  11. What does "Love to hate" mean? Does it mean to hate something so much that you love to nitpick/pointoutflaws/complain about it? Mine would be:
  12. I don't have a need to have a online indentity. I'm pretty sure the majority of the users here don't initially think, "Oh boy! Time to be a completely different person and have this as an outlet."However, since I don't know every single user, that's my opinion. From the get-go I didn't come to act completely different from myself IRL, it's actually one of the things I try to avoid most of all when using SL because I feel like I'm lying to myself. From time to time I do catch myself being a bit different from my RL self but it's not from much. I would say If I had to choose an example it would be that I'm more prone to start a conversation and may be a bit more talkative than IRL. I guess it's natural with SL being a social platform and all but, you have this advantage of thinking before you reply so when you do get into a conversation, that pressure is mostly gone and your words are more fluent. Anyways, my purpose for using SL, and still, is to explore, chat, create and discover. It's one of the few communities where I feel it's like a melting pot with a variety of age groups, personalties that may or may not change yours as well.
  13. I tried to experiment if the same problem would occur in smaller, quieter sims and it does. Also, I'm considering using Firestorm but I hear that collects alot of cookies and may give issues to your computer. Is that try? Sorry for the two-part question. Thank you!
  14. I don't care for Brian all that much... :matte-motes-not-entertained:
  15. Welcome to SL! You can discover many places that relate to your interests by going to the "search" tab and typing in a certain keyword. Hopefully, you will be able to find what you're looking for and maybe other users who enjoy the same thing you do. For learning languages and new things, SL offers a variety of classes which mostly revolve around building and other ways to navigate through SL but I'm sure there's also a class for languages as well if you search too. There's also a Education Forum here so you may want to try your luck by posting what you want to find over there too if you're having trouble. Hope this helps! Have a nice day and I hope you enjoy your time here in SL!
  16. Try seraching key terms in the search bar while in the "places" tab. The destinations guide also has some cool games too!
  17. WOW! :matte-motes-shocked: That's a beauty! How well does it run usually? FPS-wise? =]
  18. No need to apologize! I'm glad you got the help you needed.
  19. Very nice! What is your FPS range if I may ask? Yeah, I think I'm going to get a 750w instead. Also, where did you purchase your hair? Looks nice!
  20. Hello, I'm considering on purchasing a desktop which got me curious on how many FPS I will achieve with the specs I chose:http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Desktop-questions/qaq-p/2334369 (link to a previous forum post) So, what are your specs? I'm mainly looking for the processor, RAM, GPU, and amount of PING you recieve from your wired/wireless connection (please include that detail with your list of specs as well). If you have any additional information such as on how to hit higher numbers in FPS such as amount of ping, type of graphics card and it's horse power, etc.-please, feel free to include that info as well. Thank you very much and I truly appreciate all of your helpful responses! :matte-motes-big-grin-wink:
