    Lara X clothing issue

    in Your Avatar

    Posted

    I am finding more and more Lara X clothing that looks awesome when standing or posing yet once you start to move the clothing has major clipping issues that the alphas don't fix.

    It used to be that with the major clothing stores that I didn't even have to demo because I knew it would fit and work great.  I could do a quick shop for a theme dance party and off I go.  I've tried that twice now (and learned my lesson) with Lara X outfits that I've demo'ds, yet forgot to do what I normally do and that is dance with the outfit actually on.  These are well known and established stores and it's very disappointing. 

    I know nothing about how to rig mesh clothing but I thought that rigging for Lara X was a lot easier and that it a major reason why some stores are dropping Maitreya. 

    An example is I bought a really pretty lace top and short pajama set and it looked great. Once I started dancing though it clipped all over the place.  I can't even alpha it because even though is not see through lace it is sheer and you can tell.

    I hate shopping. I just want to go get something and have it fit nicely.  A once enjoyable activity of getting an outfit for the day has now turned into  tedious and drawn out process.  

    I do think the body does look good with BOM lingerie on it so I will most likely use it for that and use my Maitreya for everyday use.  Fully clothed with the shoulders covered up and you can't really tell a difference anyway.

    is about people who might want to develop better coping strategies so they aren't in so much pain in SL. 

    My advice would be log out. Why in the world would you continue to use a platform that causes emotional pain? The don't need coping strategies. They need a mouse and the X at the top right of their computer.  You assume people don't have choices, They do.

    The word "psychology" does not disturb me, I am however disturbed when someone make each and every thread about psychology!

     

    Thanks for clarifying. I just figured since it was said it must be true. They must have just pulled that out of their hat?

    There are lots of Bible verses about "Resilience", and some are Psalms - which is generally considered poetry.

    Would anyone mind if I were to share those?

     

    I'd love to read about that.

    I did know that the word psychology  disturbed you.  The word moist disturbs me so I guess I can sorta understand. ;)

    Yes! A very contentious statement indeed.

    Perhaps that is the point of the OP, to create contention and arguments?

    I think this thread is very traumatic. So far it has touched on racism, insensitivity, etc. 

    Is "resiliency" one of those coded complaints about Millennials that you see everywhere?

    Well when one can't derail another thread create your own I say.

    Does asking for friends in world on the forum really work?

    It is about friendships in SL, true, but if we expect friendships to be different because we think reality is different in SL (in terms of how people lose interest easily with any new endeavor), compared to RL,  then we might not evaluate the problem correctly.  Hence my need to point this out.

    Does asking for friends in world on the forum really work?

    No. it's not about friendships here compared to RL. I think I see where the problem lies now.

    Paul had expressed that it was a problem in SL, so I wanted to point out that it's not just a problem specific to SL, but is everywhere. We need to know this just in case we think something is 'wrong' here in SL and attempt to address it due to this error in thinking.

    Yes but this is a specific issue. Not about general friendship anywhere else.  Yes, this particular problem IS specific to SL.

    If it were truly drawing from the entire stock of all vacant or abandoned Linden homes in a theme, there would be far fewer repeats. This is what I don't get.

     

    I don't think we are. I had a linden home about a year ago and had my alt set their home there.  Every time my alt logs on they land there. It's been in maintenance for a year. Do not know why.

    Let's write a Letter to Linden Lab

    Dear Linden Lab,

    We the residents of Second Life like bacon. Vegetarian options not allowed except waffles and tacos. Please, a pony would really neigh flamboyantly. Indeed, I bathe frequently in California. Glycerine soap isn't available.

    Regards,

    A.I.

    PS: TSOP

    P.P.S.

    Oh!

    FYI:  I used bacon

    ... its like every single thread one goes to there is discussion that breaks something in those rules... 

    I mean, peeve: Human discussion in a free world should allow diversions and colors of conversation to be interjected, without someone saying "nuh uh uh not allowed".  

    + I mean, is this a community site? Where conversation between residents should be cultivated not squeezed so narrow no one talks about anything to each other.  Or is this "just a game" site? Where yah, shut down all discussion that "doesn't sell the game" to new users.  To me we can call it one, or the other, but not both.+

     

    People couldn't play nice so they nipped it, rightly so. Every single thread turned into a bar brawl.  LL got tired of it.  This site is to discuss things related to Second Life, not your political or religious views. If you want community discussion about that there is the actual platform you can do that on. Forums are here to enhance the enjoyment of the platform/game it mirrors, not replace it.

    Have to add a peeve: Privately owned forums are not the "free world". Where people get the idea that free speech applies everywhere is beyond my comprehension.

    I think posts in this subsection would be more succesful if they went "Looking for someone to sail with!" or "I want to have a music 'book' club" or "I play boardgames and need more players" instead of "I am looking for a friend".

    Maybe I took the question too literal.

    Yes! This is what I was thinking too. Too many people say things like "i love to shop and dress up my avatar and go dancing" That's just not a big enough pull toward me to someone as those are activities most people enjoy, at least part of the time.

    Put more information when crafting an ad in too like:

    1. What country/state you are from. If you are from Australia we most likely will never be online at the same time.

    2. Age or age range. I know everyone in SL is 25 years old but I probably am not going to have a lot in common with a 30 year old as I am 61.  Not to say it couldn't happen because I do have younger friends but again, they happened as I was in-world and we don't generally hang out together.

    3. Say what time commitment you are looking for. If you want to go explore or shop whatever it may be then put that in. Something like "Hey there is a cool mini golf venue I'd love to go to. Do you want to join me and play? I've got Thursday free. I'm more likely to get together like that rather than just randomly adding people for chats or activities anytime.  I like to socialize but I want to know when it will start and stop. I think that is why people like to go to clubs because they typically give you an out after a set for you to go do something else without it seeming awkward to just leave. 

    I didn't quote you @Orwar but I really liked what you said about friendship on a silver platter. I've had friends that have IM'd me and said hi and it's quite obvious that they just IM'd everyone on their friends list to see who bites. I'll get a IM saying "Hi there"! and then 15 minutes later they will respond "Sorry was AFK. how are you?"  Those friends get deleted off my list rather quickly.

    I've seen quite a few posts of people asking for someone to hang out with and be friends and wonder "does it really work out"?

    I added a couple people a long time ago and they either didn't try to keep up the friendship or we were so far apart in interests that we had nothing in common.  

    Normally I make friends organically in world because then I know we'd get along and have similar interests.

    What are your thoughts? Have you ever advertised for friends and became close with someone or formed a lasting friendship from an ad on the forum?
