  1. Not the user themselves, but....their avatar? I thought some other female human avatars were pretty (much more than mine), but not to the point I would have a crush on them.
  2. "In Time" is a Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried 2011 sci-fi movie where people stop aging at age twenty-five. People are able to live youthfully forever, but lifetime is sort of a currency where the wealthy can live forever but the poor are sentenced to die early. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637688/ That movie reminds me of Second Life because in the virtual world most of the human and humanoid avatars mostly look like young adults who most likely will not age as time goes on, just like in "In Time".
  3. Thanks for the replies everyone. Yeah, I agree SL should be a place where you can be allowed to be anything, even the (imaginary) person you desire. (Yes, I know I opened Pandora's Box with this thread.)
  4. I probably mentioned it here before, and I know it sounds pathetic, but I like to make pretty female avatars to look at because I don't have a girlfriend in real life.
  5. Another interesting response. Yeah, I see what you mean that non-humans can also be diverse and customizable, but why I find human avis most interesting is more due to a "social science" perspective. But your post makes sense and I agree.
  6. Ah interesting. Yeah, I agree it's harder to customize non-human avis. I haven't and will not stop using them, though.
  7. ...the most interesting avatars (as a group) happen to be humans themselves. Why? It's a little hard to explain, but I guess it has to do with the diversity of human avis. Humans can be different shapes, sizes, colors, and all sorts of physical features. They can have different hairstyles, clothing, accessories, and others. This diversity of humans is kinda interesting to observe and study (hence all the university and graduate students coming to this board wanting to make studies on Second Life avatars.) You can for example, see how human appearance in Second Life compares to that of the real world. You can see how the treatment of different types of human avatars reflects that of the real world. I guess to sum it up as badly as possible, human avatars are most interesting because of the science involved!
  8. Have the Lab turn them into one second orbs instead! Ain't that a woman's name? Nope, sorry, we're all badly scripted chatbots. Sorry to burst your bubble. When you're hungry. PBR? Reminds me of Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches. So yeah. But it is a game. (Actually, that's pretty apt for this topic and I guess me as well....) What is real? How do you define real?
  9. The only answer: swipe that credit card more! In life it's all about the Benjamins!
  10. Interesting. Have you tried using Tomtom instead? I think that's a much better GPS brand! Maybe you're a missing a setting to maximize? I'd double check! I guess give your computer some energy-boosting supplements to speed it up?
  11. I think you need to download more RAM to play it? I'm playing it on my Pentium before I did that and like I can't hit any enemies! After I did, I'm like dude, I'm Lv. 9000 now!
  12. Freedom. (But I still log on IMVU from time to time.)
  13. I'd say I was thinking more of #1, hence why I mentioned a brand such as Louis Vuitton in my opening post.
  14. Perhaps. I've spent at least $40 per month in SL (just for my premium land usage.) But maybe that's a drop in the bucket compared to other forms of entertainment.
  15. I have a feeling I'll be blasted for asking this question, but bear with me. Just like how there's upscale or luxury restaurants and shops in real life (e.g. Louis Vuitton or whatever) do you think Second Life is "upscale" compared to other forms of entertainment? I think it can be, especially if you purchase Linden currency and buy Premium and stuff off the marketplace - you end up spending quite a bit. And it's all in the name of making your avatars and land look fashionable.
  16. Just wondering. All I can personally think of is swimming around as an aquatic animal avatar.
  17. -When people sincerely apologize if they have done something wrong. -Any acts of charity and goodwill. -Acts of gratitude.
  18. Well, I admit I can be a bit of a troll and add to the toxic environment. I've done my fair share of trolling in Second Life in the past. Mostly though, I only troll certain types of people (mostly people I have some sort of grudge against or who are annoying in some way.) But judging by your original post, you don't seem like the type of person I would target. At least, I don't think so and I hope I wasn't the perpetrator in your situation. If I was, please forgive me. I also hope your issue gets resolved quickly and that you will find Second Life to be a better place to hang out. I wish I could apologize for my trollness in general in Second Life but I'm probably past the point of forgiveness....
