Welp. Interesting times ahead then. If this means that SL will need to switch to traditional payment processors, I'm going to grab the popcorn. Wouldn't be the first adult online platform forced into pg13 seppuku.

Okay, that's just uncanny. Who was drawing secret portraits of me?! Good find.

Point of view: Find an amazing dress that really accents your style, would go great with several fantasy outfits and looks just all around amazing. Continue to fall in love with it. It's on sale for super cheap too and from a reputable seller! Don't mind if I... wait, demo demo demo! Anti-Peeve: Demos. Peeve: 130k complexity just on the dress alone but... why? Oh. Oh no. Sequins. Lots of them.

I'll also add that I'm sure that the non binary population exploring themselves in a somewhat safer environment will really appreciate the risk of a leak or sale forcing them to confront that out there. I don't have got a lot of faith in banks but I've got some. There is no such thing with a random startup quickly spooled up to create some "totally secure verification system, honest lol oh no we got hacked and fined for 100000, whatever will we... Ah and we made the money back, lol!".

Those folks are on point with their fetish radar though! The one time I forgot to put the feet out of frame on one of my pic, I instantly got an invite to a feet flickr group. o_o

Did someone else post meanwhile? Someone else did post (with a lovely picture too) so I can post again, wee! https://www.flickr.com/photos/191119559@N02/53664066216/in/dateposted-public/ Sideproduct of an attempt to animate the water in... wallpaper engine of all things. I got close but failed at the step of making it loop properly and lost motivation. I feel like I'm on the right track though.

One failed experiment later. Flickr doesn't like transparency. GnARGGHhhh. https://www.flickr.com/photos/191119559@N02/53662967387/in/dateposted-public/

This is the first I see of them adding something like that. Gonna have to check that out because yah. The bum on LaraX proved way waaaaaay too much for me. I even bought deformers on the marketplace and got some intense "that's just not me" in the end. As for the topic, most things have already been mentioned. However as someone that has slowly migrated from maitreya to legacy over time, I'd like to add that Legacy to me feels a bit softer and rounder. A touch more feminine. However the difference is beyond subtle and probably only really noticeable if you peep at your avi all the time. I do, I'm a photo nut job and clothing addict. Ebody reborn then is definitely curvier but out of all the other female bodies aside from maitreya and legacy does seem to be a rising star with decent uptake on the grid.

Second Life's Themesong!

Honestly, it probably wouldn't work for me. For me, one can't really start a conversation by stating the end result outright, without it becoming too awkward to continue. Every kind of contact or friendship I have made has started with a point of interest. Someone has got a cool outfit and we get talking about vendors and styles. Another person makes great pictures and we just get lost chatting about it for hours. Plenty of avenues to start talking. And for every attempt made, there are dozens where you get left on read, where folks promise to reply and then they just never do. I'm guilty of that too. That's fine too, not a good match in that case. I think posts in this subsection would be more succesful if they went "Looking for someone to sail with!" or "I want to have a music 'book' club" or "I play boardgames and need more players" instead of "I am looking for a friend". Maybe I took the question too literal.

[Citation needed] This is the kind of dangerous hogwash that's circulated to discourage people from seeking genuine professional help. They will take it serious by virtue of it affecting the patient.

Pfew. I'm gonna be really unpopular for a moment. For the love of all that is holy or important to you, do not look for this in Second Life. If you feel like you are struggling with things, that's an important first step towards getting better. You did good realising that. Seriously. But please do not throw that away by engaging with uncertified people about your mental health. Just don't. You're just as likely going to be interacting with folks roleplaying as a professional while basing their knowledge on pop culture psychology tests, the stars, their celestial dogs and what their chakra aligned aura scamite stones told them that day. Even if they're the genuine thing, if they're the type to give out medical advice online other than "consult with a local professional that can check your medical records and history" - do like Usain Bolt and get the hell out of there. Sorry for being a spoilsport but that stuff is beyond dangerous to your wellbeing. Especially if you're vulnerable. Just don't.

Shopping HUDs are weird. In general, impulse buying is a powerful tool for commerce, right? It's why we keep barriers low, make it as quick and easy to buy something. Each extra step allows impulse control to kick in, foiling the purchase. To me a HUD seems like an odd extra step. It's making me less likely to buy something because by the time I've added a cumbersome HUD my impulse has seen a squirrel and is in active pursuit.

Man, election year in the US, eh?
