[What would you spend your last 8 Lindens on ?]

Dollarbie shopping on the marketplace most likely! I've found some really nice shoes for a single linden.

[Embarassing Question - How do I let my Alt "Set Home to Here" on my Mainland?]

Yes Love, that's how I understand it. I have an alt whose home is set on my parcel, and regardless of her active group, teleporting home takes her to home.

[I Need Roccomendations for Which EvoX Head to Choose]

Just glancing at your shape photos I would suggest starting with Avalon. It's already got some similarity and IMO it's a fairly versatile head when it comes to shaping. Skin, of course, will make a big difference too. For that I feel like maybe Not Found? It's what popped into my head just now.

[How does your avatar look today ?]

I love this so much, it reminds me of one of my favorite artists!

Is this a TWI avatar?

[Do you primarily use a human avatar?]

On this av, yes, always human. On my alt that I use for wandering, I have some (quad) animal avatars, mostly from TWI. I find it super peaceful to explore as an animal. Creating them is fun too, with all the mods available. I've been a furry once or twice, couldn't really get into it. Though, again, lots of beautifully made mods out there.

[the age of the SL user - I wonder who are the oldest ?]

I wouldn't have guessed many of the ages revealed in this thread, not by a long shot. And I love that about SL, and the internet in general. I'm 37.

[Did Second Life improve your Real Life?]

I spent a lot of time here when I was suffering through grief and depression. I don't necessarily use SL the way many others do (i.e. I'm not hugely social here - I mostly do my own thing) but I did find the familiarity and distraction to be comforting during that time. I have also learned a lot here that I probably wouldn't have otherwise. It's a fun and engaging creative outlet for me.

So maybe not in the huge, life-changing way that it has for some people; but yeah, I'd say SL has added positively to my life.

[Are the SL weekend sales discouraging you from paying full price for items?]

I think the only thing that the sales have changed for me is that I shop more, period. Lol. I like checking to see if there's decor/landscaping/accessories/etc. in the sales, which I normally wouldn't shop for at all. I'm boring like that. Clothing I mostly still buy full price from mainstores or events, because the styles I see on the weekend sales aren't usually my thing. Though I have occasionally landed in a store to check out their sale item and ended up buying non-sale things from their store too. I think there are probably too many weekend sales at the moment, but overall I think they're a nice thing that creators can do for people.

[Belleza Announcing New Gen.X Body and Event]

I demo-ed the bodies. I really, really like the classic version and I did not expect that. The curvy...is nice. But comparing it with my reborn body, I still prefer the reborn. I didn't buy it yet because I want to see how supported the bodies will be in the future. Like, if people only rig for the curvy then I'll pass. If the classic gets the same amount of support, I do like it enough to purchase it. I know I saw on flickr yesterday (?) that the dev kit is available now. So yay on that.

Biggest SL pet peeve, when a store hands out LMs through a bot and if you go back. It doesn't record that your avatar has already been there, it just keeps on giving you the LM. 

Omg this. Also, stores that automatically send you anything when you walk in: landmarks, join my group, hey here's a texture of our newest release! Please stop.

I was unpacking a purchase the other day and upon clicking the unpacker I received an automated IM AND a group invitation at the same time. If I want to join your group I am capable of doing that on my own. I also know how to IM people for possible customer support.

This is certainly a peeve of mine.

[Are you decorating for Halloween in Second Life?]

Yes, probably. I love spooky season. Only I haven't actually decorated my premium home at all yet, lol. I've been busy! So if anything I will decorate the porch. Probably some pumpkins and a candy dish or two.

[Totally Official, Approved, Dog Thread]

@Love Zhaoying my first dog together with my husband was also a brindle lab mix who weighed about 90 lbs! His name was Rusty, and he was the best boy. He's been gone for a number of years but I still think of him often and have photos of him all over the house.

[Did AI fix art and when will we see it being used for Creation in secondlife.]

I didn't know art needed to be fixed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Art is largely subjective, and so are things like "beauty" and "aesthetic."

I find AI "art" interesting, because I like new technology. I do think it's a problem, as stated by @StarlanderGoods, for the human artists these algorithms uh...borrow from. I don't think that's a net positive for art in general, no.

[HELP! Broken Avatar - will not render new skin / new body]

It's not working because the demo you're trying is an applier, not BOM. BOM shows in your inventory as a skin/tattoo layer wearable that you would right click and add from inventory. When you're clicking the demo skin HUD it's applying a skin, which turns off BOM.

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

Yes - in the US you gotta read the labels carefully. I buy local raw honey. Also: maple syrup. If it doesn't say 100% pure maple syrup on the bottle, it's high fructose corn syrup with flavoring and food coloring.

Peeve of the day: having ideas and inspiration, but no energy. Ugh.

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

Uh...huh. So anyway, lol.

RL peeve: waiting until Monday for my kiddo's abnormal blood test results to come in. I am anxious as hell.

SL peeve: waiting forever for a parcel of land to sell. It's not unreasonably priced (I don't think?!) but I may have to reduce it. I'm trying really hard to not just abandon it. Now I'm wondering if I should just give up and do it!

[Shopping in SL - what can't you get enough of?]

Skins. I mean, hair and clothing and shoes too - but I am a sucker for a cute skin. I love making new shapes to fit a new, shiny skin.

The only days I dread are my Dad's Birthday and the date of my dad's death. The worst two days of the year for me.

My father died that year on December 29th.  Knew it was coming and nothing could be done.

 

We need a hug reaction on this forum.

My dad died 4 years ago, in July. His birthday was also in July. I won't say I dread those dates, but that whole month has a sort of looming-dark-cloud feeling over it for me now.

(hugs you both)

[Hey! Forum Lurkers and Silent Friends! Say Hello Here!]

*waves*

I'm a lurker of the internet at large. I rarely ever comment anywhere. I'm just another introvert I suppose, I'd rather watch the show than be in it. I like the photo threads and will hit a like on some of the posts there. I've recently started hitting like (or laugh) on some posts in GD. Baby steps I guess? I just find that I don't often have a lot to say, or that what I would say has already been stated.

Y'all seem pretty cool though, and I love SL so when I've got nothing to do I read through these forums. I just like to read.
