I think, way back when the dinosaurs roamed this earth, I briefly logged into SL 😁 I never gave it a fair chance, back then I was too involved with EverQuest and WoW. When I log into Open Sim, I imagine that must be how it once was.

The stipends all go to me For that matter, I use up all of the land too. My alts are just there to fuel my unending need of $linden and land 😎

But, they are bringing back classic I'm hoping for a WoTLK expansion, admittedly not as popular, and seen by many as the downfall of WoW, it was my favorite

I think I saw all of you wandering through the ocean earlier while I was fishing 🤣 If it wasn't you, there was another large group wandering through the ocean around that time, I wish I took a few screenshots.

As far as it impacts me, I'm okay with it, I understand operational costs go up and all of that fun stuffs. I am a little depressed that I will not likely be able to afford three premium accounts, but it is not the end of the world. 1024 sqm and $300L a week are still a pretty good deal for a yearly premium membership, I can't complain too much about it. The benefits that come along with the increase of price do not impact me, so I do feel like I am paying for things I will not use. I do feel bad for the basic members who love to have access to a lot of groups, I also feel bad for people who have multiple premium accounts that will have to drop a few.

All of the older premium membership stuff is way beyond my time, I remember someone writing they paid less for their premium membership because they had purchased it years ago. I may have misunderstood them completely. A 30% increase would hurt as well, I hope we won't be seeing that. What is all of the credit processing fee stuff? I don't think that impacts me because I don't use paypal or skrill (whatever that is)

It would be nice if they added a discount to people who have more than one premium account, say - like a 20% off the second and beyond. I'll likely demote the one account, and lose a 512 parcel on the mainland, I really want to keep my 1024 mainland parcel though so I'll keep her active, as well as this one. On the plus side, this will give me more of an incentive to learn how to actually make mesh items, as there will be a drop in my income. I hate to see people like you lose out on land though, it is a shame

Ouch.. I don't know, but I might end up dropping my third premium account over that. Not that it is not worth it, I just can't afford that in my budget.. I think some people have older premium accounts that were grandfathered in at a much lower price, it looks like they are going to lose that.

I'm fishing again I'm in my kitty avatar, with my kittycats this time, and teleporting around Bellisseria, just appreciating all of the landscaping.

I was worried about the window, funnily enough my avatar barely even reaches the window. I've tried a few different avatars, and they tend to sink into the stairs a little bit, which is okay because I don't plan on standing around on the stairs all day. (Why hello there) Crises averted! The window had no real use to begin with 😂 To make the original pillars look less wonky, I lowered the porch floor to allow the original porch cement to poke through a little. I think it helps a little bit, perhaps I will throw some more plants down there later on and make it look as though the cement has a real use. I even created a new texture, it doesn't match up with the one linden uses, but it is better than the blank white I had before. It is hard to see it on the ceiling from this picture, but you can kind of make it out on the pillar. Anywhoo, I hope you all enjoyed it, and you start to make porches too I want to see a land, filled with porches, and parrots!

I've added a few stained glass windows, and I think I can call this house done (until I add more) It is all set to a rez box, so pictures like these are easy Everything is set to the rez box, besides a couple of teleport pads, and a parrot, it just doesn't feel right stuffing a parrot in a rez box 😜

I've added a few things to my front porch, to spruce it a little bit. I'm down to only 44 LI left on my property, this house is just about full.

I found this one script written by Zetaphor https://github.com/Zetaphor/second-life-lsl/blob/master/pandorabots-chatbot.lsl It is really simple, although the pandorabot that is listed in it, doesn't work. I found an Alice clone to use instead, alternatively you can build your own and get a membership through pandorabots.

I was inspired by Blush's porch, so I decided to add a porch to my house as well, I'm not sure if I am going to keep it ye,t although it only has a LI of 6. I think it looks pretty good with the porch I had in the back house, but I'm still kind of iffy on it. Up close, it looks a bit shoddy, but I'm okay with that so long as it doesn't bother my neighbors. I'll keep it around for a little while and see if it grows on me enough to keep it. The problem areas are the pillars that already exist, and one window which I can still see out of, and is not covered, but the porch's roof does obstruct the view.

I was playing around with chatbots for my parcel, I wanted a basic greeter that could carry on a conversation, but did not want to spend a lot of $L. I did find a really cool parrot that was inexpensive, but I couldn't change the greet script on it. So, I looked all over the place for a script, eventually found one on github but the chatbot it used had been disabled by pandorabots, so I created a new bot, but found out in order to publish it I would have to pay monthly.. bleh.. eventually though I found a bot that I could use in the script, and now I have a wandering squirrel from JIAN in my houseboat, that likes to have a little conversation. Fred is not very great at helping me find my shoe, I suspect he is the one that took it in the first place

I can completely relate to that Plus, I am incredibly easy to distract 😂 I'll be working on one project, get a little bored with it, and then move on to something else, even if that other project was not finished.

For right now, it is just Windows on my PC. I do have an older computer, an Amiga 1200, which I run Workbench 3.1 on, which I like to play games on. I also used to run 16.04, that was a while ago though Lately I have mostly just been emulating other operating systems.

I've been on a fishing kick for the past few days, Here I am, wearing a system avatar, with my fishy shirt along with a lucky fishing hat Just relaxing at my houseboat, on the tube, I've been all over the world today and as it is getting later I'm just hanging around home. I did not quite make first place, but I have gotten second in our little fishing competition. I think after a few more casts, I'm gonna call it a day for this fishing venture I'm really looking forward to bakes on mesh, I have a ton of system outfits I would love to wear with my mesh avatars, I would be especially happy if Ruth 2.0 is capable of using it in the future.

As much as I love open spaces with lots of trees, I really do think this is a fun idea as well. I enjoy underground themes in games and stories, as well as in real life, there is just something about an interconnected network of homes underground that stirs my imagination.

It looks amazing Ivory I'm a bit of a wallflower, so I tend to shy away from social events, but I do hope you had people stop by and see all of the wonderful work you did. I really am impressed, it is gorgeous and you are very talented at decorating.

I fixed it The last one is blurry because the fish was sooo big, it took the camera out of focus.

I'm fishing deeper in the ocean today I spotted this gorgeous vessel leaving the docks of southern Bellissera, I love watching these ships pass by as I fish. Very majestic, especially next to my little raft But, I did catch a fish:) Look at the size of that monster, it was like 😎 ✋ That big! ✋ I could easily buy two such vessels with such a magnificent fish as this one

Sometimes, I wish I had a touch of OCD, just a touch, it would make me a lot more organized. I think I have the opposite of it though, I feel really uncomfortable in places that are really neat and tidy and everything is perfectly lined up. Seeing all of these imperfections, actually kind of comforts me

You just passed me You are a fast little squirrel!

I'm having some fun, fishing in the Bellisseria rivers I even caught my first fish on my houseboat This is the perfect fishing spot! Great scenery, close to home, now I just have to find someone to gut the fish, I'll cook them
