Your work is stunning!

The great irony there is it’s usually people that consider themselves frank or blunt that can’t handle it.

I feel like it’s not going to really affect the people that would buy Legacy. But if it’s not it could be the start of some problems as it gets adopted more and more.

I don't even have the sound on in SL. I'm usually listening to music. I used to do it all the time, it just got kinda annoying after a while. It works, it doesn't work, its too loud, not loud enough. One time it stopped working and I just turned the sound off completely and found....I kinda like it that way.

It just proves one thing to me: it’s just as much about getting people to buy in to something as much as it is making a good product. you have to give credit to whoever is behind Legacy. They have both creators and consumers buying in. They have the psychology of SL down pat.

The only time I do “Show friends only” is if I’m at a super crowded shopping event. Most of the time though I don’t derender individual objects, because I like looking at things the way whoever made them intended them to be seen. I get that people derender for performance reasons, so I don’t knock it. As far as why people do it, I’d say it’s a combination of performance issues, SL my way, and just because they can.

Catwa has a few male/female heads too! Those would work with a Maitreya. You might be able to work with one of those.

I think the biggest hurdle are the bodies themselves. They sort of set you up into a gender box. Who ever figures it out will be rich! That being said, I know someone that wears a Maitreya body (sometime a v-tech)with a male head and absolutely makes it work! I mean he’s gorgeous too!

They said that about 720p vs 1080p too.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that made the rounds like that canned stri...err exotic dancer emote notecard. We could include it in the Niramyth Dom Daddy bundle.

If only what followed the “Hey girl...” was that articulate.

Just to piggyback off of this: A lot of bloggers that dealt with cool, interesting, photogenic sims are gone. This further exacerbates the situation because more people are taking pictures but don’t know where to go. What becomes the easiest way to find someplace cool and interesting for your picture? Buy it.

I really don’t think OP is asking for help. They just want to know do people change their appearance/are unhappy with how their avatar looks often. Short answer is yes and yes, it’s pretty normal. With so many options it’s not surprising either. I change my appearance often, it’s not because I don’t like how I look. I just like trying out new things, because it’s fun. There is a point in the process where I know the avatar isn’t quite where I want it and I keep making little changes until I say “yeah...that’s it..I like that!” I save it, wear it for a few months then do it all over again. I agree with the others though, you have to have an idea of what you want to start though, that and a good understanding that there are limitations when it comes to making an avatar. Some things you might want just aren’t possible.

Photography has become the thing to do in the past couple of years. It’s relatively easy to set up a Flickr account, snap some pictures, upload them and get a fair number of faves, just because you liked someone else’s pics. It kind of goes with the clothing boom and the event boom. Some of the backdrops have become elaborate, fully lit with materials. People love showing off. This is just where we are right now. I don’t see as many backdrops like I used to. But some creators have definitely come up with some truly fantastic builds. I think the wheat has separated from the chaff.

I’ve had randos pop on to my land and immediately go into away mode few times after I’ve im’d them. It’s definitely a thing (I don’t know what the thing is), but I always eject them because it’s such a weird thing to do. One time I was working on an outfit in blender and I was standing in my house butt naked. When I tabbed back into SL some guy was running into me. I im’d him “Can I help you?” He said “I’m new”and went into away mode. I banned him. *shrugs*

You’d think the goal would be to maximize sales. The original point of a fat pack was to give a discount for buying all the items. Now it’s just sadness and an obvious squeeze.

Clearly there’s a whole lot more to the story.

I stop buying from creators that do things like that. Basic colors are the least they can provide as separates. If I really don’t need 12 different colors for a top or bottom or even an outfit and the color that I want isn’t available, guess what I’m not doing? I ain’t buying it.

Loved the show

Back bacon is from the loin. That’s why it’s so good. Not ham though.

And we call it back bacon or pea-meal bacon.

Nobody’s fault but mine

Yes, content creation needs a Torley!
