    Favorite Lelutka heads?

    in Your Avatar

    Posted

    The pre-boundless version of Erin was my original favourite. I could never replicate that shape after the changes. Before Avalon, I bought a new LeLu head every couple months and found myself constantly fiddling with the shape. When Avalon came out at Skin Fair I bought it immediately, made my shape, and I was pretty much locked in!  Billie is the first head that has tempted me since, but I haven't been able to dial it in quite how I want. I know all Evo X skins are one-size-fits-all, in theory, but virtually every skin is still made / advertised on Avalon. Hoping the skin Glam Affair made specifically for Billie is in store next time I check.

    I get hit with this annoying floating window warning "THIS PLACE IS FULL OF SEXY TIMES" on every thread I tried to read. Okay, I get it. SL is not for kids. But putting this warning even 👏 on 👏 innocuous 👏 G-rated 👏 topics 👏 is 👏 unnecessary 👏 and 👏 overkill. 👏

    Just make an account.

    Profile Pic Size?

    I believe the NEW NEW profile shows wider pictures in a 4:3 ratio. Based on this I have been cropping my profile pics to 4:3 and then scaling them to a 2:1 multiple such as 512x256. That seems to result in a dynamically scaled profile pick that is not distorted and gives a bit more real estate than the square. YMMV but give it a try!

    How can I add an AO to all my appearances?

    A few hours late but there is a perhaps little-known function in the Firestorm inventory window that will speed things up.  (Maybe in other viewers but I don't use them.) 

    If you copy an item shortcut and use CTRL-V to paste, you can paste it to multiple folders by selecting them with shift-click. There is no menu option when multiple folders are selected, only CTRL-V will work. This can be used on subfolders in Outfits.

    I'm thinking more along the lines of psychological warfare.

    Sure, but not in the way you mean. Releasing the first round of free heads was a massive flex that drastically accelerated their complete takeover of the head market.  I mean, up until then many big brands had been steadfast about not even having Black Friday sales for the reasons you list.

    Little embarrassed asking this...

    Aeros still looks incredible. Magnus and Xerxes are my fave and there are particular accessories not duplicated for the P.  On the other hand, integration with furniture on the P is so much better. Bento animations made specifically for it, like the Ruckus shower, are so much better than the limited auto-angle type control.  I'm glad to have both.

    Let me ask it this way…

    And try to go for at least 32gb Ram but 16 should be ok too but since you want to run SL like it’s a dream … x3

    Agree on 32GB of ram. Especially if you might ever want to edit a high resolution photo at the same time, or quickly open a second instance of the viewer, or have dozens of tabs open in a browser, or other resource intensive multitasking. I find 16GB can start to feel low if I'm in a busy club or laggy event.

    Why the female body and shape make me look like a action man doll in a dress.

    I look like i could mother two twins and wrangle home a hog for lunch.

    Ha ha. I honestly wonder how you got it to look like that though, can you post a picture of the worn outfit folder? Here's Jamie Body + Head with default shape 1, skin 2, no modifications.

    Are You a Normie or a Non-Normie in SL?

    Okay, now on message boards all those that don't like crypto are Normies.  Why is that derogatory?  We have a right to choose.  If we want to follow fiat, that's our business.  And, it doesn't hurt my feelings to be called a Normie in that respect regarding crypto.   They consider themselves non-Normies because they like crypto which is NOT the norm.  

    You're obviously very interested in the term. I suggest doing a tiny amount of digging to find out the history of the use of normie online. Start with Know Your Meme. Dig around the history of 4chan. If you don't know what greentext is, you're a normie. To the terminally online, anyone that isnt them is either a normie, a hipster, snowflake, or any number of other pejoratives that can't be written here. That's part of why peoples hackles get up when the word is thrown around, even though it has seeped into the mainsteam like so many awful things from messageboard culture. Heck at this point calling someone a normie may make you one!

    But yet when I purchased this cheapie complete avatar based on Ruth body and head for 300L$, the alt was hit on way more then my regular account with her top of the line bodies and heads

    Because people who rarely upgrade their own avatars (ie most men) are less intimidated / more inclined to chat up someone who isn't decked out in $50 USD worth of mesh stuff.
