    We all know you liked it, let your inner UwU show !!

    It's a soft opening to a sentence. "I like turtles" vs "I mean, I like turtles"

    We have a guy living here with a sooped up trash heap drag racer that sounds like thunder .. he likes to rev it up before slowly moving it to a different parking spot, usually in the small hours. The guy in the flat above us yelling obscenities almost makes up for their yappy dog trying to dig though the floor.

    Gaddmmmit !! Talk about missed opportunities to stir the pot before the weekend.

    There is no standard function to do this, however you could make a look up that takes takes all none ascii characters and matches them (this is a lot of work) and is how sites that generate unicode text from ascii work.

    I would really like to see instancing in SL Shift drag a copy of something, it's an instance, it costs 0Li for every additional copy It's worth the free Li boost for the render savings alone.

    Any starter avatar that can't participate in the social and fashion fashion ecosystem is junk, doesn't matter how good it is if it just marks it's users for harassment or teaches them they need to buy another head and body in order to participate.

    VR has always been a hype infused solution looking for a problem, and much like virtual words, has been touted as being good for everything. Which is techbro speak for throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.

    I have a Ryzen 3 vega all in one on the bench across from me .. but I'm missing the correct power connector so it's kinda languished. Will see if I can rig something up and If I get it booted up will post findings here.

    Roller coasters are faked as its easier to just give the cart the exact sequence of points it needs to pass though, the fact it looks like there is a track is irrelevant. Physics is needed when one object has to freely move in relation to another in an arbitrary manner. You can fake it, but for roaming around it rapidly becomes easier to just have a physics model. The big difference with SL and OS vs games is this is done entirely on the server. There needs to be a local physics engine that updates the server, this saves a round trip and makes movement far more responsive - like you know how SL just feels different from a game, that's why, and it's bad.

    They still need physics, they just don't need to worry about what happens at the intersection of the avatar model and the physics ground.

    A life time of socialized medicine - get an appointment in a week, same day if urgent. US private care .. 3 month+ lead time to see primary care. JFC .. I'm planning on being sick in March, just giving everyone the heads up now.

    No, not everyone, but it's significant enough that there is pressure on users to migrate if they want to continue participation in a meaningful way. There is a huge number of SL discord groups now.

    None of us need to virtually poop, but I sure see a lot of bathrooms in SL.

    It's been our experience testing that while Ryzen APU's can render SL, it's far from a pleasant experience. The 1% lows can rapidly crush the frame rate down to single digits with even moderate complexity. Building a system around a Ryzen5700G is a great starting off point, but getting a discrete GPU as a follow up purchase has to be part of the plan. The APU is fine for low end gaming, SL might not make full use of a modern GPU but it certainly benefits from running on one.

    I think we're past trying to close that door. Discord has already happened and people have migrated. Case in point. When we do a Catznip release or beta or need help chasing a bug, we get almost no engagement from group notices. People just don't see them and if we repost often enough to reach people, some users disengage with the group and most still have no idea what's going on. I can ping our small discord and get responses in world in minutes. I'm not saying burn group notices, I'm saying that system needs to be replaced with something better that isn't so ephemeral or needing users to manually dig though the UI to check. A lot of functionality has been leveraged onto the group system and it's not up to the task.
  18. Coffee Pancake
    Most users don't know or care to go digging for them, the current system is really not good for much. The use case of a few groups putting meaningful information in notices is dwarfed by the groups that send a dozen notices a day because they know no one will see them of they don't. The system doesn't work like a group mail box and it really should.
  19. Coffee Pancake
    Group notices are .. of questionable value as implemented. If you're online they flash on screen for a few seconds. If you have the group chat open you will see it there. If not, it's probably going to email, spam or into the void. I've recently started getting spammy IM messages from groups electing to IM all members regardless of online status, which is most annoying. Depreciating group notices without a better replacement will result in more of this kind of thing.

    This is 100% correct. The only way anyone figures this out is trial and error. There is certainly an argument to be made for those menu entries to be a bit smarter. Maybe even just switching them to 'add' and 'replace XXXXXXX' showing the name of the item to be replaced .. or just ditch the second item entirely as now everything is rigged mesh, the named attachment point often has no relevance.

    This is built differently from firestorm, it stands a decent chance of meaningfully maxing your PC out. I wouldn't expect this to be a lighter solution on older hardware.

    The are likely to be other hidden flags as to whether to show an account (etc) in certain places. It might be an idea to file a support ticket (from sage) and ask why you're not searchable.

    You can get different results in different searches. (banned account)
