cheesecurd

i dug through them but i seemingly cant wear any of them, not sure why, it took forever to load in a scarf that was in there just to see if it was all library objects or just the animations or what, i presume something is being slow from LL to me or vice versa, ill try again with them later This is actually what i ended up buying for hair, along with a few others. They have the kind of blocky/chunky style i was looking for and in the right colors too. Theres a few stray bits that collide with my cheeks but i think i can fix that with something else unrelated, fitmesh is a nightmare with DSD avatars, mistakes were made, lindens were wasted, the back of a really nice shirt i wanted to wear was jagged, because i saw the front and checked the avatars alpha cuts and everything looked smooth and then i bought it, only THEN to notice the jaggies rip

also while im thinking about it, how do i search "chunky" hair? theres a lot of hair, and im having difficulty finding stuff in the style you find stock on DSD avatars, its a bit difficult to narrow down the artistic 3D style of hair... i know its not the fanciest of hair but if im going to change my avatars hair from stock i want it to look like its part of the avatar, ya know? pardon the aliasing, im playing on a laptop from 2006

So ive got some spare L$ to burn and ive been rocking the attached AO for a almost two years now: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/female-ao-Breeze/171123 And its a good AO, i like it, i was recommended it by an oldschool furry i met when i was new who suggested it when i was mentioning wanting something a bit more simple and casual. But im now looking for something new. What i have currently is from 2007, if not potentially older, it reflects the era pretty well as far as i can tell. I do like the more simple AO though, i particularly like its walk cycle and sit animations, however i do not like its jump/falling/flying ones that much. If anyone knows of any kind of more casual AO of any variety i would be interesting in hearing about it. A lot of the ones im looking at have too intense of an idle animation cycle or have the infamous "sexy walk" which just is not me at all. And thats the big thing i want to avoid is the sexy poses. What im looking for could best be described as almost an alternative to the default LL animations, simple and plain but maybe a little less wonky at times.

I was gonna say, malls barely even exist anymore. Theres a few in big cities but they’re dead and gone everywhere else. I think 15 malls have closed just around me in the last decade? From the Chicago south suburbs to Michigan City, the ones that haven’t entirely died are now just maybe one store and a few phone kiosks.

My spouse drives a truck and gets some obscenely good holiday pay, so we move Christmas back to the 29th. Also Chinese food on Christmas has been a family tradition on my side since I was a kid. My family doesn’t like holiday fancy meals, everyone decided one day to go get Chinese food. Turns out a lot of people do that, there are four Chinese food places in town and all four are packed on Christmas.

40$ isnt a lot of money on its own, but put it in context to other things: 40$ is two hours of my life. 40$ is the value of entire AAA games on steam without discounts. 40$ is a weeks worth of groceries for the average college student. 40$ is a tank of gas in my car. 40$ is nearly 10,000 L$, pertaining to me thats two entire DSD current gen avatars + multiple outfits for each. 40$ is a 10oz Filet Mignon at Longhorn Steakhouse and two sides and a tip. I cannot justify spending 40$ to have my virtual name changed when 40$ can do all those things as well. Even though i love this game, even if i had some terrible name, its just not worth it to me. Virtual name or a tank of gas, i can do a lot more with gas for a week in my car than my virtual name. In comparison im gonna pull up the 10$ name changes i mentioned before from other platforms. 10$ is a particularly large fast food meal. Its half an hour of my time. Its a quarter tank of gas, its the cost of everything i need to make some roast chicken and potatoes for dinner one night, its 2500 L$, its not as much money and its a lot easier to justify that expense. If its not for the fact that this is just a terrible price to begin with for other reasons ive explained above, its a price that is going to never be worth it in the eyes of a lot of people.

For me personally I don’t intend to change my name unless I can customize my last name so I can be cheesecurd cheeseball, I like name and I chose it for fun and I don’t really want to do the formal virtual world name However to make the name changes a bit more reasonable, first and foremost is the price. 20$ is high but I could understand 20$. That has to include both a first and last name change, entirely custom first name at minimum and there better be a massive list of last names. Or ideally custom last names as well. Secondarily it should be a free change on introduction one time for existing premium members who have had their membership for 6 months or more, and a free name change with each 6 month span of subscription at minimum. Theyre paying a lot of money, it’s a simple feature, name changes shouldn’t be a fee on top of that for premium users. If LL did that then this wouldn’t feel like a slap in the face.

100% that build with the 1600x, If you can get it, thats a good price with good part choices and has a lot more future potential than the others. B350 with a bios update will support all current AM4 processors from that first gen 1600x to the current 3rd gen Ryzen 9 lineup. The sapphire nitro plus is a way better AIB cooler than the msi one, nvme SSD, 3200mhz ddr4 Worth, definitely go for that one.

Ok, it is entirely optional for a seller to price an object at some absurdly high price. Why would they do that? Because they know someone will pay that price. That price however may not be fair at all for what you actually get. Lets say there’s a potted plant on the marketplace, it’s a nice potted plant, a little jade or something, nice textures, quality optimized mesh. But it costs 5000 L$. Is that a fair price? God no. But why can’t you justify something being a price like that? The seller can price it at whatever they want really, if the price isn’t fair then nobody will buy it. But somewhere out there is a person who doesn’t know and doesn’t care about that price. What does it matter to them? Maybe they do think 5000 L$ is a fair price for a potted jade plant. And that’s who that seller is hoping for, they want to exploit those users who do not care and will buy it anyway. Because if they could get 500 L$ out of them, why not get 5000 L$ out of them? This is of course an extreme example but this is exactly what the name change is. They are selling a feature that someone will buy regardless of price. And since this is the only option to change your name besides making a brand new account, they can make that price whatever they want and sell exclusively to users who don’t care what the price is. That is exploitation of those users for profit. The name change feature is not worth 40$, definitely not considering you can’t customize both fields of your name to whatever (provided it’s clean of course), but they will charge that number because the customer they are looking for does not value their 40$ and doesn’t care about the price.

It appears that I am watching the game I love and enjoy exploit their userbase. And it would not be right for me to just ignore it. And i will speak out against it.

It’s just a title. I reference those who have that 10+ year join date and follow SL culture of that time. Your real life age isn’t affiliated.

No, it is the same on many platforms. User ids being tied to your actual name. Runescape in particular, your username changes your user ID. Everything attributed to that ID changes with your username. Roblox is a bit different, your user ID is basically your join date order, but your usernames are also permanently tied to your account and your user data that gets picked up in games or whatever. Your previous usernames also remain as your functional name, say you were set up as an admin that just uses a username list and it uses your old name, your old name is technically still your name, as it’s on your list of user data, you will still have your admin status with your new name. This isn’t some special thing that only SL does. And even if it was that your username is your user ID, what does that matter? Changing your user ID on everything attributed to your old user ID wouldn’t exactly take a lot of effort. Lol? Let me rephrase this in forum ban terminology If you buy into this, you are being played by LL, who is trying to sell this feature to users who don’t know any better. They are scamming you, they are doing that because they know a solid chunk of their player base is so out of touch with the modern internet social sphere that they can say whatever they want to them and nobody will think any differently. They are bending you over and viciously pushing your intestines in and expecting you to ask for more. And they won’t even give you the reach around. Its the most blatantly obvious money grabbing monetization of a basic feature I’ve ever seen, phone app micro-transactions targeted at children are more ethical than this.

To anyone who has used any other social platform in the last decade it looks like this: LL: “Hey guys, we’re bringing back last names! And you will be able to change your name.” Giant crowd of people: “yay!” LL: “Except we’re still going to use premade last names.” Slightly less people: “Ok, yay!?” LL: “You will need premium to change your name.” Even less people: “yay” LL: “On top of a flat 40$ fee, to pick a non custom name from a list.” Literally just the SL boomers: “yay”

That is exactly the same as it on any other game. That is not an excuse. The names are not cosmetic alone like our nicknames are. It being SecondLife and not another platform is not an excuse either. oh I do not intend to, as I doubt many people actually will with a price like that its just a big flag that says “we can suck more money out of these decade+ playing users. They’re just trying to trick the oldschool users. “finally, we can change our names after so and so years of waiting! Who cares what the price is?” Theyre pricing at at 40$ because they know that those people will pay that 40$, and they could make more money on them than the hordes of newer generation users who don’t care and if they did, would only bother if the price was cheaper. This kind of system is a standard feature in other games and on other websites, hell, Twitter lets you change everything you want for free any time, steam let’s you change your own profiles url any time you want, this isn’t exactly some niche feature. Username changes aren’t special, the monetization of them is exclusively to keep people from changing their names all the time when there are only so many usernames. LL wants to specifically make a profit off of this with a price like that, that’s not prohibitive to keep people from wanting to change their names, that’s priced to be sold to people who don’t care what the price is. They could make it 100$ and I’m certain that the same amount of people would actually buy into it.

The issue is that the username holds the exact same value as any other platform and the ones that have paid name changes are a lot cheaper. It’s just a name, but if you want to change it there of course needs to be some kind of fee designed so people don’t do it frivolously. The idea of username changes on these other games is not for profit, it’s so people don’t change their name whenever they feel like it and abuse that feature somehow, or use up all the “real” usernames. Roblox has that 1000R$ or 10$ USD fee because they have too many users, there aren’t any 3 character names left, there aren’t any 4 character all letter names left, they’re running out of 5 character names that don’t have underscores even. That’s why they charge for it, people wanted the feature but due to there being a finite quantity of names that didn’t look like XxUsername123xX it had to cost enough to be prohibitive to random changes but also enough to be reasonable to purchase rather than just make a new account and then buy back your crap. Runescape made it a bond for the same reasons, but they cycle out usernames too. You only save your current and last, after the 2nd name change your original is open to use again. 40$ is an insane price for the sake of a username, especially when we have nicknames for cosmetic purposes. And even moreso when you’re limited to a list of premade last names. If I’m paying 40$ then at the bare minimum I want to customize both parts of my name. 40$ is still steep then, wether it’s a first+last name or not.

40$ lmao are they serious? that is above and beyond too much money, I could understand maybe 10$ if names were extremely finite, but paying 40$ to lock yourself to a specific last name you can’t even customize yourself is absolutely insane if I’m paying 40$ I expect to be able to type whatever I want into two text fields and have it show up ingame, even then 40$ would be a bit steep in comparison a name change on Roblox, a very popular game with limited usernames left due to there being over 250 million accounts, costs you 10$ Runescape, another popular game with limited usernames, it costs you a bond which is 7$, or it’s free each month if you’re already a member Yall are being played, hard. There is no excuse to have to pay this much money to change your username and no excuse for usernames that are not fully customizable.

You mean just uninstall them normally without the use of 3rd party software? Nothing bad will happen, you’ll just still have some stuff leftover from the viewer on your computer. Stuff like revo uninstaller is universally recommended because application built in uninstallers are usually only deleting stuff you can see normally, they leave behind a lot of hidden folders, content in appdata and registry lines.

The psu in there is mediocre but it’s fine for the hardware. The RX 480 is only a 150 watt card. The jump from the 2400 to 4570 also isn’t really worth it. These kind of builds just aren’t worth spending that much money on for things like an RX 580 instead of a 480, haswell instead of sandy bridge or a slightly higher wattage psu. The i5 2400 and 480 is the most reasonably priced combo of them.

That kijiji listing of the optiplex with the i5, that’s the only option really worth getting at all for under 300$, and even then that price is fairly high for what it actually is if you were to do it yourself. In the US anyway an RX 480 is only like 90$ if you don’t deal hunt, sometimes you can get them at auction for 70-80. An optiplex 790MT in that configuration with windows and everything already installed is tops another 100$, and then an adequate psu is another 50$. So there’s obviously a margin of profit they have to make but that’s the only one worth getting. The 860k is only slightly newer and it was not a good time for AMDs processors, it’s not a good choice at all. It can’t coast on the RX 580, it would be bottlenecked to all hell anyway by the relatively weak 860k. The FX series one with the 650ti is hardly worth anything really, i wouldn’t even suggest it if it was free simply because of the power consumption.

RX 460’s work fine with SL.

Go with the optiplex. The Athlon x4 860k doesn’t perform nearly as well as the i5 2400, and for SL cpu performance matters a lot. Those optiplex rebuilds are pretty common and decent for their price, especially with an RX 480 and a psu upgrade as that seller has done. Avoid the FX 4130 system.

When searching the marketplace i can add two billion versions of "-Demo" and still end up with demos and the word "demo" that i wouldve filtered out. -Demo -DEMO -(DEMO) -(Demo) -demo -(demo) -DEM0 -Dem0 -dem0 -.Demo. -.demo. so on and so forth still demos im just tryna find free sweater man

Port in the entirety of Skyrim in full detail.

Universal benchmarks are useful but they do not test stability, If you want to actually test your GPU to make sure its stable and wont thermal throttle itself into oblivion, use Furmark. The fuzzy donut of death. https://geeks3d.com/furmark/ On cards without active thermal management or ones with extremely high overclocks or out of recommended spec power delivery you can actually kill a card with furmark. So be careful. With a stock out of the box gpu, integrated graphics or anything low power in general its not a problem. But if youre the type to push your R9 280x to 550 watts on water with the highest OC you can hit before it bluescreens, just dont. Running that 1050ti as it came, then youre all good. The idea is to run it until the temperature stabilizes on the bottom graph. If you can maintain a stable temperature, regardless of how high it is, and not lose framerate and clock speeds due to thermal throttling then your card is stable. Prime95 is the CPU equivalent, its a program that uses pretty much every aspect of your CPU to find new prime numbers. It has the main feature of being software to run to find new primes but it has a torture test option that just lets it go ham on your CPU. Its in the same sense a stability test, if you can maintain your clockspeed and not thermal throttle to death then youre all good. https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/prime95-download.html This wont harm any stock speed processor. If your cpu gets too hot, itll thermal throttle and eventually safe shutdown. If you have an overclock you might draw too much power and damage your cpus power delivery and potentially the processor itself. However if you are overclocking then you already know what this software is and what it does anyway.
