  1. I was hesitant about using voice in games for a long time but now it's pretty much all I do. Once I tried it I found it was so much easier to play the game. You don't have to stop playing to focus on typing. It did take several days to get used to it. Voice is awesome in sl too because even if the sim has voice turned off you can still voice in it by just opening up a private voice call. I tried going back to chat/text one day in sl because somebody in my house was sleeping and I was like, why did I do this for so long? It's so much harder. To me anyway.

    This was the solution! My dear partner changed the plants to Alpha Masking and boom, no more ugly plants! Thank you so much Ardy!

    I love finding the solution to problems like that. Sometimes I have a problem for months and find out it was all cause by one check box somewhere.

    Looks like the texture alpha mode got changed to NONE.  If you can edit the thing, try changing that to Alpha Blending or Alpha Masking and tinker with Mask Cutoff.  If that fixes it, find and set the LOCK checkbox.

    Oh thanks for that. Good to know!

    Thanks for the reply. I guess really then what I am attempting to do is sell access to a file. If SL can read a private YouTube URL then my next issue would be trying to maintain that privacy of URL from other residents of SL without 'buying' this access.

    There are other video sharing web sites that allow you to do that. I think YouTube does not offer something like that but some others do. Just google something like "web sites where you can charge money to see your video" and see what pops up.

    Dutch estate is my home and really feels like it. So I did not make this landscape purely to be pretty, or for decoration alone, nor did I want to make a sort of Dutch amusement park. It's all about the experience. My goal was that you would feel how it is if you were really at a polder land with ditches and bridges. You would almost feel the wind in your hair and hear the sound of the old Holland windmill. After all, Second Life isn't a game, it is as real as a second life can be.

    Water, bridges and polder land, Dutch estate

     

    It looks amazing and so much wonderful detail. I would totally feel that environment by being there.

  6. As the mods posted several times "Just to reinforce (the) message, interpersonal disputes should not be conducted in these forums.  Take it to IMs or something." That's the adult thing to do. Get in IM's and work it out like the mods suggested. Talking it out is always the best option. I had someone mad at me once and we talked it out and are now best friends!

    And here's where you start getting the problems. Because that isn't defamation of character.

    https://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/civil-litigation/defamation-character.html

    From the web site you linked:

    "Defamation is typically defined as a false statement someone makes about you, which they publish as a statement of fact, and which harms your personal and/or professional reputation or causes you other damages, including financial loss and emotional distress.

    Like posting someone did something which they did not do.

    There is a difference between "feeling" bullied (perception that someone is bullying you) and "being" bullied (someone deliberately intended to bully you).

     

    My own belief is that no one can legitimately tell you "how to feel", period. You feel how you feel.

    Yes true. It's so sad what has happened to some young people bullied online. I think it's worse for some of the people with millions of followers. Those stories often end in a very bad way. I don't think young people can deal with the bullying like older people may be able to.

    If someone is feeling bullied on the internet - specifically this forum, then that is their right to feel that way. I suggest that they remove themselves from the discussion at that point and close out the forum or the thread. There is no law or rule that forces you to participate in a discussion that is causing you to feel bullied. 

    No one should ever feel bullied on a forum anywhere. That's my opinion. Why try to normalize such a thing?

    I think many times people forget that others are allowed to have an opinion and not be told it's wrong. 

    Depends what the opinion is. If someone has the opinion I'm doing bad things and am a bad person for example, they are not allowed to post opinions like that on the forums here. It is against the TOS. (It's also defamation of character in rl and you can be sued for it) Someone can of course have an opinion like that all they want. People can think whatever they want in life. But if they post bad opinions about others online, it's the wrong place for it. Like a mod posted, if you have a problem with somebody IM them and talk it out. Try to fix it. Or just stop engaging with them. 

    Everybody here is no different from your daughter, your mother, your son, your father, your grandmother and grandfather. Just because it's  online does not mean you should not talk to people like you do in real life. Everyone should be treated like they are a member of your family. But yea I don't talk to some members of my family lol. But I don't engage or argue with them either. Live and let live. We are all stuck together on the same planet until we leave these bodies and go somewhere else. It's really about understanding the other persons point of view. Listening more than talking sometimes. Understanding is superior to judging. Everyone is trying to go through life and trying to keep it all together as lights sings in her song i_o & Lights - Drift Away. Nobody has an easy life. Adding conflict with others, why add that to already stressful lives? Just love everybody.  

    The easiest way to never be told you are wrong is to never claim you are right.

    You see, the big error in those examples, is that you picked them without context, they are personal in the sense that they are direct replies to another poster,

     

    That happens a lot.  Something like this:

    Joe. "I am a duck in real life."

    Mary "You don't have to tell anyone you are a duck. It's no ones business!"

    Joe quickly takes screen shots of only Mary's reply and not what Mary was responding to and posts this:

    Hey look everybody Mary is claiming I'm a duck ! Mary posted ""You don't have to tell anyone you are a duck!"

    Totally changed the meaning and intent of what was posted by showing only the response and not what was being responded to. Made up a context and a false narrative. I have no idea if something like this is intentional or not. People misread meanings in text based communications a lot. Without clues like facial expressions and vocal pitch, scientists have said text based communication methods get misread a lot. Meanings completely missed. 

    I was watching that tv show where people try to marry people from other counties where they don't know each others language and so they use translators on their cell phones to talk. It's a mess. Three different couples almost broke up due to miscommunications. It was only when they got a living person to translate for them that they made up. They finally understood what the other person was trying to say.

    Overwhelmedness every time I first go to a major event.  It isn't just lag that made my visit to Fantasy Faire quite short; it's that feeling I get that there's just too much to see and do.  This will pass, I know, but it peeves me that I feel exhausted already.

    Have you tried turning on the setting where only you is rendered? That's worked well for me before.

       You're welcome! ^_^

       On topic - today's pet peeve: the site I used for streaming movies on my SL TV doesn't want to go into full-screen mode anymore. I tried a few other sites and they're having the same issues. Watching films with friends now is like watching a window in a window in a window, I'll tire my eyes with all this squinting! 

    Oh was that a song from frozen? I was trying to remember that earlier lol. Thx!
