  1. ...ever get the feeling you're on two different topics?

    I would LOVE Second Life viewers to use Vulkan or Directx12 to properly use my graphics card & stop redlining my CPU.

    That IS what is happening!

  2. No...i7 and a GTX 1060!

    While running full settings in a crowded place the cpu was over 68%...gpu was just sitting there at 16%.

    This is why tech like Directx12 and Vulkan were invented.

    Sansar on the other hand gets results like 10% cpu usage and a whopping 89% gpu.

    Oddly for saying Firestorm has no support for advance multi-core utilization it bumps up gpu usage when shadows are on with no change in cpu.

    I wonder did they offload the work to the gpu?

    Probably not because of IP issues.  Isn't marvel part of Disney?

    Hoooooooooooooooooo boy...Linden Labs nuke anything from orbit if Disney smell legal payday over it!

    Avoid drawing attention like death!

    I'm interested in hearing what various SL denizens do irl. What's your job, or if you don't have a job, what's your major hobby?

    I drive a T R Ö C K

    Well In First Life I'm a recruitment consultant by day, hiring men to build things...queen of Sydney's top latex fetish clubs by night.

    In Second life I'm the manager of Hugo's Design Latex, hiring models to do events & promote the brand.

    ...............oh god....................I became myself?

    If you were to look at yourself in SL, like the things you do in SL and how you interact with others, how would you describe yourself? Are you an interesting person to be with? If you became the subject of an SL documentary and had a camera crew following you around would it be worth watching?

    Well I'm a Flickr artist with over 7 million views, married to a popular DJ at a club, manager of an inworld fetishwear brand (Hugo's design) and grid-wide action heroine.

    ...so yeah I'd say I'm worth a look?

  6. Well I did start my own group to facilitate something like this.

    I switch between snapshotting & massive builds/complex scenes and was just DYING to share that with people...but it ended up as well as you'd expect.

    In our ever interconnected world we have a severe lack of connection.

    So now it's every shutterbug for themselves.

  7. It's the uglier side-effect of this Gatcha gambling scourge.

    Part of what led people to mistake them for not-gambling for so long was the ability to sell unwanted items you got on the bad "rolls" of the paid dice.

    Despite what you do with them after the event having no bearing on the event itself, this whole garage sale industry will continue as long as everyone involved continues to make money off it somewhere & somehow.

    So you can either make a complaint to the Belgian gambling commission (where online games with randomized paid items are illegal) and maybe that will force Linden Labs hand to outlaw Gatchas.

    ...or get used to it.

  8. Events are worthless!

    Ever since the great Truth Hair disaster of 2013 I know to avoid those massive sim crashing events due to the fact I'll never get anywhere near them, sim will be full for weeks and if I had my heart set on something it was usually exclusive to the event and I'll never see it again.

    I've started dis-associating to avoid the torment...I won't even look at Flickr "Coming soon to...".....ugh...no...just....don't!:/

  9. -You must have exclusive items that will never be seen again once the event is over & the sim is re-purposed

    -You must have the event in a smaller capacity sim that can take only 40 people

    -you must have the sim next to a neighboring sim that can only take 20 people

    -The event must be full night & day so nobody can get in

    -You must not care if anyone complains because you got yours

  10. The fact that we're having the discussion means not all is well in the realm of gatchas.

    I know there was often an item I wanted badly but as soon as I saw it was gatcha only I went off it and the designer quite angrily.

    "Yeah screw it I'm not playing their damned gambling nonsense".

  11. No, I think it was because the rules were drafted in reaction to events rather than having a clear roadmap.

    I do have my suspicions my Official SL Feed banning was due to advertising...despite me not selling any products whatsoever.

    As for the Flickr moderation, because a lot of people have done unmentionable things totally covered head to toe in latex without an inch of skin showing...and the people who do show skin tend to be doing only that...the knee jerk reaction hit the fan.

    So now anything shiny gets the boot by default.

    Because...lets be honest...who are we to show due process to?

    One little insignificant person among thousands per day?
