A Youtube on "imposter syndrome", something I really suffer from. I grew up in a family of artists, and although I do keep telling myself that I am just as skilled as them in my own medium, it's still hard to judge one's art alongside one's mother, one's grandmother, one's great grandmother, one's stepfather's art. Their work is published, they have the renown of their peers, they have travelled the world teaching, exhibiting and more. What have I done worthy in comparison? It doesn't matter that my mesh, my textures are seen and enjoyed by so many people from all over the world, doesn't matter that I am technically always trying to improve myself, doesn't matter that people give me compliments and buy my art - this is just a game, the mesh I make and the textures I create are just game assets. Not real art. Then I stop the self doubt and destruction and think - hang on, this feeling of inadequacy, this is exactly what makes me strive to be keep learning, to keep creating, to keep improving. Every day I see improvement in what I do, if I look at something of 6 months ago, of a year ago, of 10 years ago I see nothing but greater ability today, and I see how I could have done that older piece better. I hold my art up to my mother's glowing candle and I see the scribbles of a mere child compared to hers, but she has 30 years of art on top of mine. Just where will I be in 30 years? So, if I look at that work from a decade ago against something I create today and I focus just on my own improvement - that's the real benchmark. Imposter syndrome is hard, and it's so tempting to judge your art to other's standards. But you can't - you can only judge it against your own prior corpus.

Method 1. 1. Use firestorm 2. go into fly mode 3. type 'gth 3500' in open chat, by itself without the quotes 4. type 'rezplat' in open chat, by itself without the quotes Method 2. 1. Rez a prim on the ground, make it the same size as your parcel. 2. Edit the prim 3. Type 3500 in the Z position (the top one) As to privacy, if it's mainland set up banlines and restrict it to group aceess. Banlines stop about 200 meters above and anyone can go above this, but be locked out from below. Be aware there is no real privacy in SL, people up on the platform can look inside the house on the ground and see people.

However, should you shoot people who don't like rootbeer, I do suggest you don't then go on and shoot the puppies, no matter how you despise them. The SPCA can get pretty mean. Sometimes it's easy to write something and then have second thoughts. Foot in mouth does follow. Sometimes you can hide it, other times not. Short of the note method, having a trusted person to offload on helps. And if you do get caught out, just act with grace and try and move on.

Oh, they ban. Trust me, they ban. Interesting fact: E.I.G.H.T. has a missing leg.

It's true! and as you no doubt know Blush, when one gets a jackass neighbor, he will often seem to be gone in a few months. Maybe there is a good correlation between someone being obnoxious and then one day his plot turning yellow, with $50/sqm on it (for a week or two), then turning into abandoned land, it's certainly something I notice a lot.

Skye has a number of Low Poly items made now. This is just one of them: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Skye-Xeni-River-Mountain-Terrain-Pack/15709632 (Low poly is the search term you want).

Maybe the 2 lane highway was removed to reuse those regions to run around the edge of Jeogeot and connect up the Tulagi WWII area as requested in this thread? The new continent is 19 region tall, and that was how many regions were needed to go around the coast of Jeogeot. By the colouring of the thin channel at Gazaway and Queen Mary it's going to be shallow water as well as narrow.

Gosh no, I keep my lighting unique and secret. But does this mean nobody can take photos any more in my regions using their own sun angle? If so, sheesh, it goes from bad to worse.

will not eat Brussels Sprouts! I mean seriously, they taste like blergh! What was nature thinking when she invented those?

Yep, that's the biggest problem when anyone is given power. They start making up, and enforcing their own rules. Power goes to their head. It's been the death of far too many ventures in SL over the years as well. A mentor program can only lead to clique+abuse+other bad things.

So, does this means that lighting objects purchased over the last decade will be broken? Or will you provide back compatibility to stop content loss? And, is there a fix for black stars please?

What issues do you see in it ChinRey, honestly curious?

Been sailing longer then you Animats, and yes, I know the work you were doing, I was testing your bike for a while. My handoffs are not really worse then anyone elses.

Ping time into europe is 120-ish ms, so 240-ish ms return. Ping into Australia is 240ms, so 480 ms return. But I need to debunk your claim that these longer ping times make SL US-Centric. What a pile of absolute hogwash. Pings are what they are, so it's not like most people go from 10ms to 240ms each alternate week. How you see SL is how it's always been. Also, it's really not a PVP game. Who cares if your avatar takes 1/2 a second to stop walking after you lift your finger off W?

I'd agree with Qie that Sandy's teleporters were likely the older WarpPos type being stopped for other reasons. No Object Entry should only prevent unsat on objects from passing and is very desirable to always enable, to help limit self replicating griefer objects flooding over the entire map. In the case of the lady with the huge number of turrets, some of those were shooting outside her parcel, they were sending physical objects into the channel that would hit the boat and push it slightly. The number and speed did indicate that it could push a moving vehicle to the edge of the world and off. To the owner's absolute credit she did come quickly while I was there, and disable the turrets that I was able to show were leaving her parcel and hitting the public area, so I do now think it was an absolutely honest and innocent mistake and not done on purpose. That area is now safe to travel, well as much as those old thin channels can be.

There are always exceptions of course, and I meant no offense. I actually wonder if the sort of "obnoxious no-profile hornbag noobs with freenis" who need to read those statements ever read them. They are too busy with other things as they one-handed type "so, wanna sex" in their first IM.

It then listed only one lady, along with a photo that suggested (from extreme breast size) she was was Ralph, a trucker from Idaho?

Hmm, not really the world view. A person in Brasil is likely to call themselves a Brasilian and a person in Canada a Canadian. This is akin to a German not commonly saying they are a European but German, and a person from Algeria saying they are Algerian not African. To the outside world, I think it's fair to say that Americans only refers to the people inside the USA. Except, we are the only country on the continent, so it's a fair claim. If anything, we changed the name of the continent to the country name Terra Australis was the original continent name before first fleet. It's first people were, and still are the various Koorie nations who have been here for more then 50,000 years. So a little more then a "couple of hundred".

I am not American nor do I speak American English. English might be the Lingua Franca of SL but trust me, there are more then enough people outside that country inside SL. People who are Bilingual or Polyglots so that as a result I'd say SL's culture is likely a touch more European then American. I believe in fact that all Europeans and Asians combined also outnumber the Americans. 90% of my friends list is not American. I am fast learning the German, French, and Japanese languages and do try to speak them as much as possible in world. I also spend a lot of time in German dance clubs and Japanese social regions.

Interesting analogy. Maybe it's more like a plane, as they actually serve nuts?

Sounds like you need to do a very light smooth on your parcel. Open the landscape tool, via Ctrl-B and selecting the landscape too, not by rightclicking on the ground. This ensures the entire parcel is selected. move the strength all the way to the left so it's the weakest. Select smooth and click the apply button. Then you should be back to unjaggy. If not, repeat it. Ask your estate agent if they can "bake the region". Some might not, but some will.

As you were told Solar is male, you could feel free to use the "He" pronoun from now on.

I know you meant to write they. Solar's a nice enough guy all-in-all, he just doesn't tolerate idiots - which is fair enough.

Not peeves as much as whys? As coffee points out. There is just something about a decade old avatar with a completely blank profile and NPIOF screams "I am an alt here in your region to do something I wouldn't dare do on my main". After that it's the porn filled profile, real life porn to near the top of the WHYYYYY list, but even SL porn filling people's picks is gauche. Then: "I don't do ....." statements be it Drama, @geplay, sex, boyfriends, collars.... they are red flags that the person does exactly those things. If you really don't do those things then there really is no need to tell people. And the statements of hatred. I had one person come into my club region with a statement that said "I hate short people and guys with tattoos". He was banned of course. His alts then started appearing avatar by avatar (easy to spot this person, he has been in SL for more then a decade, speaks "Englisch, German and Dutch" and always wears the same nasty freebee hair, plus always puts a picture of some woman avatar in his real life tab) so they get banned, and banned, and banned. Eventually he asks "why do you keep banning all my alts?" To which I happily reply "I am short, and I have a tattoo" Last: "Send notecards as my IMs are always capped" (when you know they are so nasty they have zero friends)

Thanks, She has installed turrets that fire physical rounds at passing boats. Edit: Insane! There are 30 turrets on that 4K parcel to make sure nobody comes near her home. Edit 2: As I was filing the report she appeared - a tiny little Fae avatar - and turned off those turrets. Problem might be solved, it's worth trying in a few days.
