From my experience as a new user 10 years ago, I already understood how to control my avatar how to put on and take off clothes, how to unpack things, etc. I understand that there are people that don’t and that’s fine. The problem I had and have observed is still a problem today is people don’t know where to go and what to do. I ended up at that freebie pyramid place for about a week and still didn’t know where to go. I left the freebie pyramid still looking like a noob, and this was years before mesh bodies and parts. After all that, when I got some landmarks and some suggestions, I still was clueless. That’s the problem right there, even after you do all of the noob training you have no clue what to do, where to go or even how to look as good as everyone else. Which basically means you didn’t really learn anything at worst, at best you know about a fraction of what everybody else knows. The destination guide is a good start, but there’s still no guarantee that you won’t end up in a bunch of places where people are just standing around or just a bunch of bots juking the stats. The question becomes how does LL place newbies somewhere where they’ll be actively engaged in a social way, where they can get up to speed?

Isn’t it possible it’s not the viewer at all? It looks like a layering issue, like you have something else on that covers part of the upper tattoo, but not all of it. So you’re getting a two toned effect. Try clearing all your layers then reapplying them in a different order or alpha masking a layer.

You’re right about it being rare. The problem is the last times it happened at a couple of fairs, maybe a month or two ago. While it might’ve been a couple of machines at a fair, it has the potential to effect a lot of people.

They used to be a fun way to spend small amounts of left over L$. Then unscrupulous creators started taking advantage of people’s addictive personalities doing things like putting whole outfits with like 23 different pieces in 64 different colors, which meant the odds of you getting a matching outfit were zero or would end up costing you thousands of L$. Strangely, that’s when they really got popular. Furniture makers started doing no copy items, then there started being whole fairs devoted to grifting residents. Then people started reselling their items on MP which led to MP being flooded with junk, often pushing what you were looking for to page 5-10, because the first few pages were gatcha items. It seems to be finally falling out of favor and people are throwing prims over them to take your money and not even give you the item. Avoid!

I think what he was trying to show was LL is adding private regions/islands. That would imply that someone is paying for them and the demand is there. I’m a filthy mainland owner and a 4096 is plenty for me, so I don’t know much about private land. But wouldn’t they just resell abandoned private land rather than create new parcels? Meaning, to me, that they’re doing that and there is still a need to create new private land, which would imply both are selling.

Thank you for this. [Moderator Edit: Derogatory Comments Removed] How did you get June 2020 concurrency numbers?

I’ve said many times SL is the perfect environment for a Mush. I’m surprised it never went in that direction or never took off in that direction.

It’s interesting you brought up MMOs while I was copying links for that post. MUDs/Mushes were the precursor to MMOs. a lot of the earliest MMOs were done by MUD players and they are basically Graphical MUDs. They’ve been enjoying a quiet resurgence with the low-tech gaming boom.

It’s good they’re starting to do things like this more frequently.

MUSH/MUX are your answer. No graphics, some dice rolling involved occasionally. I used to play these: https://play.arxgame.org/ http://horrormu.com/index.php/Main_Page

Good times!

Why think in terms of what it was? It’s never going back to 2007 and it shouldn’t go back to that either. The world has changed too much, the way media is consumed, games are played, the way people communicate. Guess what? it’s never going to be like that again. It has to adapt with the times and be forward thinking, not just maintaining 2007.

A dad bod doesn’t necessarily have to be overweight. It’s just not as cut.

You probably want a Catwa Ciara head and a BBL body to look like that.

Now I’m wondering what a female dad bod looks like.

I dunno, Sagittarius woman fits me to a tee.

They had an early version available for group members before the full version came out. Thats how I knew about it.

I’ve been feeling like this about a lot of topics lately, so I had that one saved!
