The biggest issue with that would be cost. A lovense toy costs roughly $200 USD, give or take. I couldn't even imagine what a suit like that would cost.

I think it's just wiser for you to trust me on this one LOL. And wiser for me as well.

When I look at the image and the teaser caption, I don't get that "feel" though. And why bother coming into SL to use a dating App? There are lots of RL ones around. The ability to control someone's RL toy already exists with Lovense. Only a cheap SL HUD is required to make an expensive RL Lovense toy controllable by a partner in SL. It's actually not as much fun as it sounds though. It's too easy to put the HUD setting too high for the other person's comfort, or forgot that's still on, when it shouldn't be. So, I doubt LL would implement this.

I don't see it being Linden homes from the image. Or from the teaser caption. It has a bit of a "tabloid" feel to it, and DOES imply a club. An adult home by itself doesn't imply anything exciting. An average RL home with a loving couple with children, by definition HAS to have had adult activities involved. I don't think people would come to SL to look for that in (most) cases.

That's what I'm seeing. I know a club that does a great job of having adult activities allowed, without forcing it on anyone. If someone wants to go and just dance, then they can. Listen to music? Sure! Have sex? That's allowed too, but not in center stage focus. Nothing sleazy, but a bit of fun for everyone. I can't know, but I'm thinking this might be a perfect way for LL to venture into acknowledging adult activities.

Hmmm....I wonder...

Tiling isn't necessary for larger objects. The house Caitlin and I have is made up of multiple segments, with each having individual 1024x1024 seamless textures. Tiling IS preferable though, when it's possible, to save on texture memory. I posted this a while a go, of a flat mesh object I made, and it is made up of 4 individual 1024x1024 textures. on 4 parts.

One would tend to think there could be better ways of expressing disdain than someone simply calling it "the Blob". That is blatantly insulting. It IS a POSITIVE cooperative effort between everyone involved. INCLUDING anyone featured. Maybe express WHY you feel there is something wrong with it? Maybe not simply deprecating something that you have no understanding of? I'm sure you're capable of expression in a more positive way.

Thank you. The "Blab" IS, and always will BE something to reinforce community. It is a collaborative effort that INCLUDES the person being featured. No one will EVER appear on the cover (or in a caption) unless they agree to it. That person will ALWAYS have full veto power over any image used of them, or any caption relating to them. And have creative input. The National Blab is NOT Virtual Secrets.

And what is this that our virgin ears have heard? COULD it be TRUE? Posted with the full permission of Scylla Rhiadra.

I'm all for this!!! That doesn't detract from what SL is, it just improves it.

I have never seen this argument either. I didn't say anything, because I haven't been in SL as long as many here have been. I personally don't think what engine SL uses will make any difference to how a person perceives SL I know it won't for me.

Yes, it has to go beyond that.

But do they smell like fish?

I can guarantee you, my SL has NOT been a game. But there really is no choice with the technology. I couldn't care less what LL uses to make it work. They can use all the game engines they want. That won't affect my SL at all. SL is just the phone, not the conversation.

Love is right. When you need to see things clearly, just leave your settings on Midday.

I agree. It's not really possible argue about that, because SL is an individual experience. I don't care how my RL phone is created. I care about the conversations I have on it.

I'm not disagreeing with you. Options are always good. I personally prefer though, that if I go somewhere, I see the environment as the creator intended. If I want to change that for some reason, I can. I only use FS as well.

I haven't been reading what you've been writing. I was simply reacting to your "it's not a game" comment.

We can still change the EEP to whatever we want though. We aren't forced to used shared settings. I totally agree with you that things are loading more slowly. I have no idea if it's the rendering system or not. I would have thought that rendering is directly related to our personal hardware, and somehow more data is being transmitted, or the servers are slower. No clue on this one.

Why would the "it's not a game" mentality affect the technology behind it? The medium is NOT the message (sorry Marshall Mcluhan).

Hopefully Firestorm will make it a feature that can be turned off for those that find it's too much for their graphics hardware to handle. Personally, I want PBR .

You're welcome in our home no matter what colour your skin is, or what AV you're wearing.

But what if wouldn't want you in my house because you're a fungus?

Each one of has our own personal vision of what we want our AV's to look like. I love the look of that skin on you, but it's YOU that that chooses. Not me, or anyone else for that matter. Which one is it? Does it come in different skin tones?
