I grabbed a free boat from MP yesterday and sailed around for a while, it was fun!

Nice thread, I hope the suggestions will continue. I mainly wander SL taking pictures, so it's nice to see some different ideas to try. Today I joined a group called The Nature Collective. If, like me, you enjoy nature in SL, taking pictures etc. then it seems a nice group to join. They have an Explorer HUD for free where you can find LMs to a variety of nature spaces to explore, I will give this a go as well as my usual methods of finding places to explore on Flickr, Destination Guide, etc. They also seem to hold events such as book club or group outings, I am not sure my introverted nature will allow me to attend any of these but you never know! Anyway I thought I would add them to the list here.

I will stick one of these bodies on my alt. He is very neglected and I think he will appreciate it.

After a two month break, I got my camera out again. How time flies.

Agree with all the comments about the demo timers. I tried out some hair today, with demo rings attached plus a 5 minute timer. I need more time than that to look at the different colours in the hud, try the style with different hair bases, etc. If I can't do that and be sure it will work for me, I wont buy. It's just silly to give so short a time, and rather than panic me into buying, the urgency feeling just pushes me to remove and delete.

I visited Panjin today, it's lovely https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Overland Hills/60/65/26

Bearing in mind I have an untechnical brain, things that would encourage me to spend more time in SL.. Being able to flip between streaming SL or using the viewer, depending on what I am doing. I would stream if I wanted to attend a big, popular event where I want to see everyone and everything in ultra graphics without crashing or lagging down to unusuable FPS. I hardly ever attend large populated events because I have to basically derender everyone to be able to move and stay online, which makes it almost pointless (for me) to attend. I want to see what everyone looks like, etc. as well as hear music and so on. So for me that would be a great option to stream when needed, and then use the regular viewer to drag around furniture, change clothes etc, when I need to make changes to my environment. I would also like to be able to take part in some more creative activity in SL, like when I first started and anyone could drag out some prims and learn to build. While I love how beautiful everything looks in SL these days, I am merely a consumer now rather than a contributer. I did try to learn blender once, I made a cup that was 38472847389897392 LI when I brought it inworld and needed it's own server just to rez I think 0.o But I would like more options to create inside SL rather than on separate (complicated, for me) programs, and that allows it to be part of an inworld experience.

Thanks for making this post, I was able to make a friend aware to hit the redeliver board. I had Slink hands and feet back in the day! They were so pretty lol, I would literally go around barefoot as much as possible because of the prettiness 😂 Then bodies came out with all included and I moved on. I feel sorry for creators these days honestly, so many different bodies to deal with and rig for. I could never have that much patience!

I think mine should be to try and be a bit more sociable and stop wandering around on my own so much. I say this every year though, so..😂

I find the mini map useful when exploring. I can see the perimeter of where I'm walking to make sure I cover all the areas to be seen. I can avoid walking up to people by avoiding those green dots, thereby avoiding interrupting their privacy if they are sitting quietly or whatever. If I go to friends only, I can avoid trampling over people by negotiating around the green dots, which I do sometimes at busy places. Once in a while I also use it to find out where I'm supposed to be going by finding a crowd of people far away from the landing point, or finding a friend I have lost somewhere when exploring. All reasons why I would not want the ability for people to hide themselves on the map. Even if they did I can see them on radar anyway but that's not half as useful to me.

I feel like you just wrote my bio! lol I rarely add people to contact list and I rarely get asked. I think I give off that natural leave me be vibe 😂

I realised today I have a pet peeve.. Stores who put their store name on clothes in the style of a huge logo across the front of a shirt etc. Sometimes I like the item of clothing, but for me they ruined it with the huge store name logo. If someone wants to know where I bought something they will ask me or simply right click and inspect to find out, no need for me to be a walking advertisment lol. Ok now back to shopping hehe. Happy weekend everyone ☺️
