  1. thanks for sharing the video. ngl ive been saying sl should update thier system avatars for awhile. a few ppl on discord i used to talk to didnt want to join sl bc the system avis were "ugly." also my twin sister isnt invested in sl like me so i think this can be a way for her to get a btter looking avatar without much effort. all in all this will just make mesh more accessible to newbies. looking back at my first attempts mesh avatar to now you can tell i was still figuring stuff out. having a complete avatar for ppl to start exploring sl is less intimidating, let alone easier on the wallet. (R.I.P to me buying mesh without demoing or checking its clothing support beforehand when i was new).
  2. oh i didnt hear about the new nux bodies. im excited for what they'll look like. sl has been overdue on updating the built in avatars.
  3. i joined sl in 2020 when i was 21 because a friend on discord had a account. it's strange i took so long tho, bc ive know about sl since elementary school. if i remember correctly id see ads for it online and maybe on tv (i could be mistaking the tv ads with another thing). online avatar games have always been my thing. i played tinierme, roblox, and several other ones that no longer exist. it just took me forever to finally join sl. wish i would've joined sooner, but rather now than never UwU
  4. its probably just because i grew up on the internet because I'm a 1999 kid and i remember forums on deviantart, newgrounds and other old sites. so i like checking in on the sl forums a lot, its great way to find info.
  5. idk if this thread being inactive for 2 weeks is considered a necro. this is related to krankhaus so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ anyways, i was walking through waifu factory and stumbled upon a store for krankhaus. lots of the clothes here is the old price (meaning you arent paying 500L for avatar 2.0 clothes). theres even stuff here i dont think is listed on the marketplace store (atleast for avatar 2.0 not sure for other bodies). plus there's a freebie vendor there. there was a free head for avatar 2.0 there, which i'll get to see how it looks http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Meteor Star/10/249/1549
  6. update i tested out other heads demos and found some from 6doo and ak that acheived what i was going for. the neck wasnt a issue on those
  7. so i was testing out my underutilized heads to make a new avatar, might aswell check my inventory before buying new. so i ended up liking the rebirth kyra head. unfortunately since its a female head, it doesn't line up well with male bodies (specifically tried slink and legacy). i tested apricot paws bom neck extender with kyra, but it's pretty obvious imo. i've used the extender for my furry avatars, and theres no issue. but furry heads dont have necks unlike human ones. is there a way to hide the head's or even legacy's neck? i know i could do the vtech and maitreya route to fix this, but i wasn't really going for that type of body atm.
  8. makes sense. i guessed it was something like that after i bought another bom avatar that had its own uv-map, so you had to use universal skins made for it. but before i got that other avatar i was confused on why bom looked wonky for uti's stuff.
  9. i know my old childhood roblox accounts name but i used a fake email, so no way to recover it XD. roblox has a lot nicer clothes, hair, etc on there now than it did when i actually played it daily. ironic isnt it? all in all, im happy krank found a platform that works better for them.
  10. uti made bom relays for all of his heads and bodies or it could be certain ones? i couldnt manage to figure it out though, so i stuck to the appliers. i'd be grateful if avatar 2.0 got more designer love, especially in the mens department. i'm not skilled at 3d modeling at this point to do it myself.
  11. i feel like creators on there could potentially get more sales than sl on a daily basis. there maybe more fees on roblox, though having more sales probably outweighs that. as blaise glendevon said theres 55 millions active users daily. i've even heard things saying roblox is the most popular multiverse platform out there, makes sense why someone would switch to selling there.
  12. yeah im thankful krankhaus is still out there creating even if its on another platform. originally when i first saw they retired sl and thier twitter got deleted, i thought they just left online presences completely. making a career out of your art is demanding, a constant hussle. some famous artists i follow took years even a decade before making art came their full-time job. it takes a lot of determination to keep going even if rewards aren't the best, those who expect to be a overnight success wont make it far. i loved roblox more as a child than i do now. i made a new roblox account about 2 years ago just as a mindless game i could play when i was doing phone surveys as a job temporarily. havent touched it really since i left that job.
  13. Thanks, and definitely looks like their creations
  14. yeah it is better for a creator to make royalties if leaving sl than making nothing, especially if ppl keep buying their stuff.
  15. i agree. ive listed some personal texture mods for cheap (50L). it doesnt bother me much since i created those mods for myself, and decided to share it with others who may happened to like them too. but as a sl creator on here trying to make a income, anything under 500L aint nothing in irl money. so i understand why sometimes its hard for find quality stuff really cheap. though im not sure how well L$500-1500 clothes and mesh will continue to sell for if there's no support in the long run? but since krankhaus doesn't plan on returning, it doesn't matter i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  16. yeah i noticed this aswell maybe a month ago now. thats partly why i found it shocking that they left sl. even their old avatar 2.0 clothes is now l$500 when it was previously L$50. those clothes for avatar 2.0 weren't updated to fit the 1.14 versions of that body, so it was already outdated.
  17. what really? i wouldn't have expected that. do you have a link to thier roblox? i have a account but dont play it much. and same, i was think of buying kuroo for the clothing. but since i saw they left, updates for it probably wont happen.
  18. true. to be clear, i didn't make this post by any means to be like "they can't leave sl, how dare they". i asked bc i enjoyed supporting them as a artist, so buying their creations on marketplace was a way to do that. but now it seems they've deleted twitter too, so there's no means for me to continue supporting them outside of sl either. its sad imo for good artists to vanish online. since the shop is still open, i hope if anything krankhaus occasionally logs in to get their money. might as well if they're still earning lidens despite retiring.
  19. so i clicked on krankhaus's profile unintentionally when visiting their shop on marketplace and noticed their bio said they retired. was any posts on social media about why krankhaus left secondlife? i was trying to see if they had a twitter but couldn't find anything. kraunkhaus's tumblr has been abandoned for a few years, so nothing there. I'm sad bc i own quite abit of their stuff. unfortunate to have a unique creator on sl dissapear
  20. I didn’t really belleza could go skinnier so I’ll check it out. I’m aware of legacy complexity issue so I need to retry the demo. My pc sometimes gives me lag problems. Thanks for the recs
  21. i bought the slink male body 2 years ago when starting out on sl. recently bought Gianni, it's been good for my more muscular avatars but it's too buff for me to switch all my dudes over to it bc of that. i do like the more slender look of slink, however i know the body is kinda dated making it hard to dress at times. would legacy work better as a upgrade to slink appearance-wise? legacy seems pretty supported designer wise from what i've seen.
  22. i just want to get rid of this land so i cant stop paying the tier fee since i dont plan on using it. simply right click the land and pay if you want to buy it. slurl: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Maceday/52/112/33
  23. no worries. i havent been checking sl much myself been busy with life. i usually forget about the forums unless i see a email
  24. aye we share some of the same interests specifically anime/manga, art, writing. also im a fellow queer. i dont mind if you hit me up inworld. i don't check the forums often unless i made a recent thread bc i need help/suggestions. im online in sl often unless im busy playing other games, working (sadly), or making art. but ill get back to you if you leave a message and i happen to be offline
