The shop regions named in the catwa profile are full. And none of 4 other region links work to me yet. Can someone please exlplain me what's so special about a Catwa head that people are so crazy for it? I looked the pictures of the face. They are pretty, yes. But with a custom shape I can easily achieve a similar look with other heads. Is it the HUD that makes it so attractive? Or just because a 5000 L product is suddenly available for 1 L?

 

I love Catwa heads but the one they're selling for 1L today is just so ugly. 😅

I know they change with the shape but still. I wish they did this sale with a prettier one. 

[Respect for private property and privacy.]

I didn't read the whole thread so this has probably been suggested but just get security orbs and set them to like 15 to 20 seconds. That gives enough time for people to walk back onto public land or to TP away. 

A lot of scenic sims that I like to explore have cabins like that but they're open to the public so I understand the confusion if the rest of the sim is public.

Buying myself a new laptop for Christmas

So am I! Except I've only been gone for a few months. 

[New Apple MacBook Pro]

Macs aren't really good for gaming overall. It'll probably run tho. 

[Why is VRChat taking over where SL should be? Why is there no Android/IOS client?]

What do you mean by taking over where SL should be? VRChat and Minecraft are very different from SL and also different from each other. Even IMVU, which also has apps for both iPhone and Android, and is more similar to SL than the things you mentioned is still different enough and also not "taking over". 

Also, I want to know why you care. Because a lot of people still play SL and if you enjoy it why does it matter if other people are playing something else?

[Marketplace vs Inworld Shopping]

I prefer shopping on MP because I can just stay home and try on demos. It's easier than getting a demo from a store, TPing home, and then coming back to buy it. I know I can try stuff on in the store but I don't like doing that. 

[Why is Second Life expensive?]

Is this an ad?

Did you try turning off the anisotropic filtering (see screenshots above)? Having it on will slow your pc down.

Obviously.

Paperspace was so close. For some reason it had an issue with getting the ratio right for the mouse. Couldn't look at anything. It had a game mode which supposedly fixes this, but it didn't for Firestorm.

Used about a year ago so probably improved since then.

I think a game streaming service is the next thing I'm going to try. 

[Does anyone have advice for running SL on an old crappy laptop?]

Yeah, those settings didn't work on this computer. I'll just have to keep saving for a gaming laptop.

[Does anyone have advice for running SL on an old crappy laptop?]

@Lyssa Greymoon Thanks. I'm gonna try all that when I get on.

but I would suggest derendering everyone to help with lag. That is pretty much the first thing I do when in a busy area like a newly opened event. I do this on my hefty computer and it helps a lot with framerate; I haven't tried logging in on my notebook in at least a year.  Too painful.    

This used to work, but in the past year or so it lags like crazy. I think the computer is just too old to handle it, sadly. I remember years ago I was able to run SL with no lag on an even crappier laptop on high graphics. Those were the days.

[Does anyone have advice for running SL on an old crappy laptop?]

I want to preface this by saying that I am currently saving up for a new laptop.

The one I'm using lags like crazy and doesn't load most avis or most of the sim. If it's a busy sim, forget about it. It'll just freeze. I already have the graphic settings on low, and draw distance and all that is also on the lowest settings. My frames per second is usually like 10 and below. Is there anything else I can do?

A few years back I made great use of the 'University' sims. There were lots of them, all gone now.

The one I found was actually a university sim.

How do people find land to squat on? I'm always a bit envious when I hear of people doing this.

Is there a script you can run that scans for land where build is enabled for everyone?

I found it by accident. I didn't squat tho, it seems wrong. 

[Have you ever squatted on someone else's land?]

I found a sim that seems to be abandoned, and has their permissions set to where anyone can rez anything without it being returned. There's so many random houses and other things rezzed here. Kind of interesting and funny.

But I have always had trouble finding casual clothes  versus sexy ones. 

It's really not that hard. A lot of the most popular clothing stores sell a lot of casual clothes.

That would be an interesting discussion -- the difference between obsession and addiction.

Not really. They're two totally different things. Nothing to really discuss. lol

[Second Life addiction is a very real problem. This is my story.]

Hmmm. I don't think I have an SL addiction. I have an on and off SL obsession though.

They probably verify themselves. 😂

It means absolutely nothing. I don't see it as often as I used to tho.

"If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best."

"Old enough to know better, young enough not to care."

Any SL=RL, SL=SL, RL=RL preferences. I'm just tired of seeing that.

"Voice verified" or any variation of that, because it means nothing.

[What do you think about morphs?]

Do you mean when creators use an outside program to show clothes in an ad instead of on an avi?

A popular clothing creator does that. The clothes still look good in SL, but it def looks better on the morph. I guess that's the point tho.

That's the real reason why you get so many "cookiemonster1983"'s out there, coupled with a perfectly normal display name - no one ever told them they'd be stuck with that garbage floating above their head forever.

Not exactly.

I didn't want a "name" sounding username because I know eventually I would hate the first name, last name, or the combination. And I don't like when someone with a "name" username has a display name that's a different first and last name. It just looks weird.

Don't know if that made sense.

Why did they get rid of last names in the first place?
