Makes one wonder why this subforum still exists. 

[I do not like to be treated as a lower class shopper when I shop things for sale]

As a merchant and creator I know I can't please everyone.
So a few years ago I decided I only make what I like, the way I like it.
When I think it is good enough, I give it the permissions I can live with, take pictures, box it and put it on the marketplace for a price, that I think that is okay.
And that's it.
If someone likes one of my products and buys it, I'm pleased.  If not, that's fine too.
One simply can't win them all.

And I'll never say you can't or shouldn't do that. I'll always support a creators right to do whatever. I just won't buy it if it's not mod. Simple. 

[I do not like to be treated as a lower class shopper when I shop things for sale]

I never buy anything that isn't modify. As far as I'm concerned, there's never a good reason why something (that isn't clothes) shouldn't be mod.

Those are all pretty good for a PC gamer laptop, however I will say "friends don't let friends buy Alienware or Acer" .. Acer are just cheap crap, Alienware is cheap crap in a pretty dress.

(I find myself frequently asked to fix laptops & computers .. I have yet to open an Alienware anything and not instantly feel the owner was outright robbed, Acer tend to cheap out on jelly bean components so things fail because they shaved 10c of the build price by not using slighter better generic parts)

Wasn't Acer originally a Walmart brand? 😂

[Oooo a New Shiny. Event Regions - What do you think of this?]

Since the cat is out of the bag as they say, yes, most extremely large scale events have been running on them internally for around a year now, a lot of time and testing went in to this.  Meet the Lindens at SLB, some of the Shop and Hop events, various other events of importance happening around the grid if we knew about them might have found themselves on the hosts specifically purposed for events regions.

Oh really. Ive been to quite a few Shop and Hop events and the lag is beyond horrible. I have to always set my preferences to friends only to move. Mind you, I have a Ryzen 9 // RTX 2070 SUPER // 32 gig ram desktop.

The problem is your program only takes a single core and doesn't utilize any modern hardware whatsoever. 

I'm being critical because I do enjoy SL but I think your focus is in the wrong area. 

[Oooo a New Shiny. Event Regions - What do you think of this?]

Yo Linden Lab, your greed is showing. Those prices are unreal. What are you even using the money for??? You ditched Sansar and the mobile app. It's not like you're creating anything new. Seriously, sky high prices for a region that you even admitted would have degraded performance over 20k? 

Horrible deal. 

[What is the reason why you prefer to choose Secondlife than the other metaverses ?]

I choose to stay because I have friends here and honestly the level of creativity just isn't there with all the others. And the others look like kid cartoons. But I will say that Second Life is dead last when it comes to stability and if a metaverse ever came along that offered something similar to Second Life, I would jump ship in a heartbeat.

[Random mesh objects randomly disappearing at a certain angle when camming]

This program can be severely irritating and this is one of those times. Ive been working on my homestead and decorating the house and its been fine for weeks with no issues. I log in today and instantly have issues with random mesh objects not showing properly. Here is an example:

https://gyazo.com/f4e318e9bc49cecd0aff3f857f500727

I relogged, still having the issue. I cleared my caches (all of them), relogged, and still have the issue. Grid status shows everything is operational so what could possibly be going on? I don't have a potato. I have a beast rig. And the issue is only at ONE single angle when camming. Its the weirdest, most bizarre and stupidly irritating thing. This was never a problem for weeks and suddenly it is now.

They really need to severely overhaul that whole site.

They should rename Premium plooos to just regular Premium ..

.. and rename regular Premium to Premium Peon.

None premiums get their usernames replaced with a string of 12 numerical digits.

Premium Peon.... 😂 That should be a new tier for Blizzard.

I wouldn't worry about hearing it a lot, I REALLY doubt there's any risk that they'll use it in any official communication.

We are talking about Linden Lab here. Oh yes they would.

If you haven't subdivided the whole region into smaller parcels, isn't then the whole region also a parcel? A whole region sized parcel.
I have never owned a whole region, so the above is just my intuitive guess. So just apply the EEP setting to parcel and observe does it apply to your whole region.

I said it did in my original post. So yes, you're right that a whole undivided region is one parcel lol.

in region details you are changing eep for the region itself not the parcel.. Parcels and regions can have different EEP settings, and what you see will depend on your own viewer settings as to whether you are set to see region, parcel, or personal. To change EEP for the parcel you can either right click it in inventory or you have to edit land info (parcel details) and drag it into the elevation level for environment. Both ways work, personally I always drag into the land info when in changing parcel EEP as i have different settings for different heights which are different from the main region EEP settings.

Yeah, that didn't work for me at all. I spent hours messing with it before I came here. And since I have a homestead thats not parceled, I guess clicking "apply to parcel" when there isn't one actually applies to the whole region.

You need to Use Shared Environment under World/Environment

I was. I checked. I always use that setting anyways. It just refused to change no matter what I did. 

[How!? I am beyond frustrated with this stupid thing.]

EEP is by far one of the most freaking ANNOYING things LL has ever come up with. Why this stupid thing replaced windlight, know one freaking knows! Bloody hell.....

OK! So I go into region details, and under the environment tab I drag the eep I want to use and it changes.....in text only, it does not visually change on my screen. Its not applying at all! Its the same eep/windlight I had before. I relogged and still no changes. What the hell! 

Edit: reset all caches, relogged, and still no changes. How the HELL do you visually see a EEP you changed in under environment in region details???????????? And why is this so stupidly complicated??????? 

Edit 2: OK! So going in under region details, environment tab and changing it doesn't do anything. You have to right click the actual EEP (sky and water separately) from your inventory, and click on "apply to parcel" to see the changes. Wow. How stupid....

[What made you join Second Life?]

I knew about SL way before I joined. But it looked ancient and primitive (no pun intended) so I never bothered until mesh came along. And by mesh I mean Aesthetic. Thank god things have evolved since then lol.

No no, its the other way around.

Second Life is not good enough for VR headsets.

Good evening 

After only being maybe a few months into SL, I've learned a couple things. I'm looking to learn how to do the sound emotes ( believe that's what they are called ). .

They are gestures and they are also super annoying since everyone overuses them especially in clubs. They should def be banned from all clubs since they ruin the actual music.

I just finished my friends stilt house which was a little harder for me, lol.

Thank you everyone who reacted to my work. I'm more of a landscaper than an interior designer but I am off to work on a close friends stilt house now so get ready for pics of that next. 😁
