While I can agree with the much needed update with the mesh verses prims/sculpties even I 9 year veteran of SL has some prim items between both my main avatars and I obviously liked the items I kept because they don't all look hideous but for the most part the majority of it does. While we may not always like another resident's opinions I don't think that being sarcastic or bluntly rude in response if the way to go about things. I know several people that aren't on board with Mesh and Mesh body parts (bodies, hands, feet, heads, lips, etc). Each resident is entitled to their own opinions, beliefs and what they consider personal preference fact. While I am a mesh body, hands, feet, and head wearing fool there is that little flicker in the back of your mind that teases at "The Old Days" I mean hell I use to laugh like a maniac when you'd TP and your shoes would be in your butt, your hair on your butt and the fact you had to remove some scripts to even be able to TP because the script weights were too heavy to support lol. We had a friend who had to nearly remove everything he was wearing just to TP, while he was complaining we were all cracking up. SL isn't meant to be taken so seriously so enjoy it, sure friendships extend from beyond the computer or laptop screens and that is a beautiful thing but your still pixels at the end of the day and in no way was Second Life meant to be a replacement for your real life. Eventually we will all have no choice but to upgrade to all mesh but for the ones who choose to live retro SL lives, that is OK I mean if your going to uphold SL as if it was RL even in RL people do retro and in some fashions it is popular. People in SL have changed attitude wise since 2008 when I started SL, back in 2008 we had the Mafia and people acted like friendships meant something to them and well some were less sarcastic in responses regardless if it is meant to be a general response or just being kind of assy and sarcastic. And technically Svana Verne did ask a legit question and I quote "I hears Singularity supposedly has a add on or viewer or something you can download to help with that a Bento viewer or add on? I can't seem to find it anywhere on their site and in the search "Bento" comes up nothing in search." End quote. Even I was unaware of the new singularity Bento Viewer which I am happy about because I use MANY viewers from Official Viewer to Firestorm and a few others. I tend to DL popular ones and try them out because features in the viwers are sometimes different and you can find cool settings per viewer and some even work awesome for photos/blogging which I do both so I do bounce from viewer to viewer to see which one does good pics to cool graphics and several other cool things that make my time spend in SL silly and fun, which is my main goal. SL is for me an escape from RL drama and crazy. It just gives us freedom to be who ever we choose to be as well as look however we choose to look and to just be our individual over all self in whatever form we choose and the paths we walk in SL. No one is perfect in Second Life or Real Life, we are all perfectly imperfect no matter what reality real or game so we should try to get along without offending others with sarcasm regarding questions (even if we fail to agree with the questions) and just agree to disagree and move along happily. This world in the real version is filled with far to much hate and anger on a daily basis so we don't need to extend it into Second Life, this life should be free from any of them dramas and ignorances. So Yes, I am now on the Bento Singularity version of the viewer and it seems pretty much as good as Firestorm with the exception of being able to load merchant outbox from the viewer, which Firestorm somewhat has hiccups with that so I tend to use the Official SL viewer for all Marketplace business stuff as Ive seen Firestorm make mistakes so I play safe with my stores. Yes, Svana Verne I am too currently running the Singularity Bento version it seems fine however I have found it to be a touch laggy but I am also on a 2 year old machine that needs cleaned up badly which I will get around too when I have the free time Ive got bigger fish to fry than to deal with cleanup right this minute but when my machine is cleaned up it can run just about any viewer on ultra and everything to the max. Viewer exploration is kind of fun, the skins the settings and just all the cool things you can look up and learn to do within your viewer to enhance your SL world in photos.
