- Complicated backstory or random thoughts

- Consistent narrative or jarring changes

- Display Name or None

- Show group tag or not

 

1. I like coming up with a narrative through random thoughts as I play the character, and eventually molding that into said complicated backstory.

2. I enjoy consistency, that way I'm not accidentally bringing up something that I retconned a long time and getting it mixed up with my own headcanon.

3. I use my default name so it doesn't matter to me, though I do like seeing how creative others names can be.

4. I use my own custom tag ("Bow to the Queen") so I have no reason to have those off.

tell them the truth, or tell them what they want to hear?

The truth, because if there are any issues you get them out of the way early instead of potentially coming back to bite you in the behind later down the road.

["This or That?" in Second Life]

An alt or no alt? I have an alt and I use him to pose for photos sometimes.

A day photo or a night photo? I love face lights with a night setting.

Physics or no physics? Largely depends on the clothing.

Prioritize frame rate or quality? Depends on how busy an area is.

Cutesy clothes or more subdued ones? Depends on my mood that particular day, though I lean more towards colourful, vibrant looks.

[Stop Free Memeberships?]

I have never had such an issue with bots or griefers that my mind immediately goes to "end free memberships". In my decade of SL, I've encountered like two griefers ever.

The moment I'm forced to pay to access SL is the moment I jump off the sinking ship it would quickly become. It'd be the virtual Titanic and the paid membership is the iceberg.

[One thing or person that you wish you can get back in SL?]

I yearn for the days back in 2013 when I was a fresh SL newbie who didn't know jack squat and my avatar looked like absolute crap because I was wearing obnoxious freebie earrings and heels. It just seemed a lot more alive and atmospheric for some reason. Maybe I am just more cynical now.

[How do you make your avatar unique?]

I would go for things like freckles, hand tattoos, eyebrow cuts, body and face moles, etc. Maybe add piercings and wristbands. Go for a more natural shape over the hourglasses or the barrel chests

"Unique" to me is breaking the mold of the plain barbie doll that grips a lot of SL avies and going for realism/flaws. Perfection is boring to me.

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

A) When my avatar is not human, and then someone I'm talking to or RPing with asks me if I could become a human. I am in this form for a reason, go find another person to talk to.

B) Anyone in general asking me to change something. No I am not making my boobs cartoon sized for your viewing pleasure. Go away.

[I have a question. (rant)]

I like to put full looks/outfits together to see the fit before I buy everything, so if a part I'm demoing is timed to like 2 minutes, I'm just not bothering. Into the trash it goes.

[Body packs vs single colors: Which do you prefer?]

Single colour, more than likely some shade of pink or red, is all I need. I don't wear any other body other than my Reborn so I don't rly need anything extra.

[Oh hell yes! -- Pet Delights!]

I finally figured out how Firestorm's AO loader works. Previously I, like a dummy, would try to copy animations directly from my AO attachments to the widget, not realizing it needed a link to add them and I had to copy the animations to my inventory first.

Problem solved, now I can mix and match all my cutesy animations and get rid of my script consuming AO attachments for good.

[​😁​ What is the funniest thing you have seen in Second Life?]

One time I was dancing at Sexy Nude Beach when OUT OF NOWHERE a guy dressed as Naruto driving a Lamborghini came flying across the dance floor and my screen. It is the single most random thing I've ever seen in SL, and I was crying laughing for like 5 minutes after it happened.

I'm looking for an EVO X head tint that is made specifically for the head and NOT the body. I cannot for the life of me seem to find one.

Reddit Second Life is dead and there really isn't a good alternative anywhere else.

So I come here to share photos of my characters and my experiences living in this weird, wacky virtual world. And in doing so, I also get to read about the experiences of others and how they interpret this world differently from me. Seeing such a wide variety of unique avatars is always a pleasure, and sometimes they inspire me to A) try to up my photography/avatar game a little bit, and B) take notes so I can emulate their fashion sense.

That's largely what I get out of this place.

[Cannot change profile picture in Firestorm nor Second Life Viewer]

I have tried clearing my cache, downloading the new Firestorm, and shrinking my photos just in case that was the issue. Nope! Neither 2nd life nor 1st life photo, or about me, wants to save under any circumstances. Absolutely infuriating.
