Fair enough. Thanks for the response. Like I said, I'm not a "gamer" as such even though I have, nerdly enough, been involved in group assaults on various battlefieds That's what a game means to me, at least, and SL is just so far from it.

I dunno. To each their own, but I built my first PC in 1992 and have been a Doom-aholic ever since. I don't consider myself a gamer as such, but have plenty of experience with fx first person shooters. Been pretty immersed in some of those throughout my life. Those are games, even if you engage in a team and converse with people from the other side of the planet.. I've never viewed SL as a game, though. SL is just... SL. Hard do put an pin on it. Social platform? That sort of covers it. Metaverse? Perhaps.

Neither is my Lenovo Ideapad Gaming. The handles will crack sooner or later.

At least somewhat related to SL Never open it on the sides. Never just carry it by the screen. If it sounds like it might crack, never power it open. The hinges will suffer. And, as stated, they are designed to the opened in the middle, never from the side. It's back to desktop and Intel for me for a while, Ryzen shine all to everyone else.

Yeah, he still uses my gifted i3 from 2015 with 16 GB RAM and a GTX 790. And an SSD Actually a bit impressed how smooth streaming goes.

Yeah, a even a decent 4G is better than satellite. I don't live in the mountains - I only visit. My neighbour up there has satellite, and it can actually be used for Netflix. SL? Maybe just to log on and have some IMs. If I need to to connected to the web for some reason I need to find me some 4G.

Yeah, as a guy I see a lot of that, regardless of slim, more booty of whathever. Ain't very attractive with huge T&A and a voodoo like shrunken head. Ironically, guys used to have biceps twice the size of their heads, but seem to have gotten a lot better on it

Happy 58th Love.

Dude, you have only experienced a smigeon of SL. It's pretty vast. Don't get hung up on what may have happened to you in a single place. Explore. There's lots more to do and experience.

We aren't NPCs - although some of us may seem like it a times There's a person behind an avatar.

Ehm yes. Ever tried to spend some time time OpenSim? It's an effing anarchy. Ever tried spending some time in Meta? No? Neither has hardly anybody else. SL it is for me, as long as it lasts...

Yeah, keep the graphics at the appropriate level for you travel experience and your pc (or whatever). And as a long-time driver in SL, don't be so afraid of draw distance. Mine is never below 128, sometimes even higher. Worked with my old i3, works with my new Ryzen as well.

Biggus...?

Wait. What? You called sire?
