  1. If I had seen a dragon one, I would have bought that! I wasn't paying as much attention as to what they were specifically, as trying to figure out how they worked. If it's still a thing when we go back in 3 years, I'll definitely be looking to see if there is a dragon.
  2. I haven't been out to the Wilderness area for awhile. I think I need to make another visit out there.
  3. A few weeks ago my husband and I were at Disneyland, and I noticed that there were a fair number of people walking around wearing little stuffed Disney animals or characters on their shoulder - just like SL shoulder pets would be positioned. At first I couldn't figure out how they were wearing them, but then we examined one in a gift shop, and it's done with magnets - one in the stuffed character, and one in a little piece of fabric that you wear inside of your shirt. It just really tickled me to see people walking around in RL, wearing shoulder pets (Perhaps this is more common than I know in RL, but this was my first RL sighting of this phenomenom).
  4. I've never been bothered by being by myself and finding ways to entertain myself, in RL or in SL, and, especially since I stopped working, I know that my conversation and social skills are a bit rusty and not the best. Different aspects of SL have been important to me at various times over the years. Right now, with my husband retired and home all the time, my daughter and her two sons living with us (2 with ADHD and 1 on the autism spectrum and homeschooled) and the return of a health issue I thought I had conquered, what is important for me in SL right now is having a place that is just mine alone, calm and peaceful, and a setting and activities that are soothing and relaxing for the RL me as I watch the SL me participate in things. I started DFS farming again - very small scale - a kitchen garden, a few animals - because I find the tending of the animals and crops very relaxing for me right now. I generally have a classical music stream on my parcels, and lots of bird sounds. I can dream of living that pretty much self-sufficient life out in the countryside with no one but myself to take care of or be responsible for. I don't even let my other accounts have rooms in the house, or houses of their own anymore - right now they're just for contributing tier to our land group and contributing their stipends. This doesn't mean that I never want to talk with anyone, or to be around other people. While I do prefer to go out exploring by myself, I do like knowing that there are other people around somewhere (one of the reasons I like to live on mainland) and I often will have a group chat or two open and watch the conversations taking place. There are a few friends that I do talk with from time to time, though usually not from my initiative. (I am definitely not the type of friend that is going to IM you the moment you log on!).
  5. 5th anniversary? It doesn't seem like 5 years already since Bellisseria opened - time has really flown by.
  6. I don't know what versions you have of Catwa Head or Kupra body, but I don't think that I would call them categorically call them "outdated" overall - I think both have had relatively recent offerings. As long as you like the head/body combination that you are using, and you're still able to find the clothes and other body related accessories that you like for Kupra and makeup that you like for Catwa, there is no reason to change just because other people wear a different brand of head or body.
  7. I liked both the No Division and the No Forget. They both looked good on you.
  8. I think it's possible a state may allow gambling or online gambling, but may not allow online skilled gaming.
  9. If you want to shop inworld where you can hear what a sound sounds like before you buy it, you could try Lorin's Sound Effects
  10. Thank heavens for micro climates... while a bit chilly in my parcel once the day starts to fade, at least I don't have the snowfall that is occuring in the region directly behind me.
  11. Finally turned on signatures so I could get important links, and ventured out from my home today... wonderful exhibit @Scylla Rhiadra
  12. I wonder if part of the reason it's a lower price is because of the neighbors on either side and only ocean at the front. If I was going to rent half a region on an estate, I would expect to have ocean on 3 sides, and only a neighbor along the back side. If your current estate owner is offering a half-region with water on 3 sides, personally I would probably pay the little bit more to have that parcel configuration.
  13. I have all the SL photos I've taken on my hard drive and cloud storage. I've had a Flickr account from time to time, and when I have, I post some of my SL photos there - generally ones from when I've been out sightseeing (but not all - I have to be in the mood for posting on Flickr). I also post some photos in various relevant Forum threads from time to time, but I've gone through a period of not doing that as much as I did a few years ago.
  14. This makes sense to me. Basically, the Plus makes it so one can buy mainland, because otherwise only premium and premium plus accounts can buy mainland at all. Plus accounts aren't limited to only owning 512 sqm - like all the premium account types, additional mainland above the free tier amount can be purchased as long as the additional tier is paid. I imagine there are people who want to own mainland rather than renting, aren't enamored with Linden Homes (or the restrictions that come with them), don't want to pay the full regular premium amount, don't want to rent from an estate and aren't able to (or don't want to) own an estate full region. I see the Plus account level as expanding the pool of possible mainland buyers. Editted to add: Also, being as there were already 512 LH parcels before the Plus account level was created, if the Plus level was able to own a 512 sqm LH, I could see a number of those in the 512 LH's deciding to downgrade from regular Premium level to the new Plus level.
  15. This is the monitor view - me relaxing outside my SL house - while the real me is finishing up folding and putting away laundry RL. Glancing over at this from time to time makes the laundry work seem not so bad.
  16. She doesn't have to put in a request. The request is an option available for premium plus to use when there are a lot of homes available of a certain type, and you want to get a specific home location rather than getting a random location from the land page selection. In the case of a very popular type, like the stilts on pier or stilts on water, it would only make sense to put in a ticket in a situation where many new regions of those types were all released at the same time - otherwise, it's likely the home requested would no longer be available by the time the ticket was processed.
  17. You can check the new land page Second Life - Linden Homes without having to use another account. If you click on a type of home on the new land page, it will also tell you how many of that type of home are currently available.
  18. I haven't had any issues with seeing where I'm going. Even using the midnight setting, things are not completely dark. I do find that the lighting is more realistic looking for whatever lights I have around that are turned on, but I haven't had to read any tech breakdown or make any changes to the lighting that I had already been using. I haven't added any reflection probes or made any changes to any of the new settings and I'm happily traversing around SL just as I did before the viewer update to PBR. It was actually because of the forums that I switched from a popular TPV back to the official viewer. It was from reading the forums all the time that I realized some viewers didn't update to new features for months and months. So when a feature came out that I really wanted to use, I switched back to the official viewer, and I haven't looked back. I prefer having the new features when they are rolled out, and I have not had any bad experiences or serious impacts from doing so.
  19. It's the Laurel Upcycled Jeans Dress, and I got it from Freda's at the Shop and Hop: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Halcyon/175/26/53 The long sleeve shirt I was wearing under the dress in the picture didn't come with it - that was just a BOM long sleeve shirt I had in inventory. The tights however, did come from Freda's also - there are some crazy patterns for BOM tights available there.
