    "patchy skin"...sounds to me you didn't activate the BOM function in the hud, but without more information or pictures it will be a wild guess

    This is what happened to me with my Lara/LaraX body. I forgot to turn BOM mode on and looked 'patchy skinned'.

    Does asking for friends in world on the forum really work?

    I added a couple people a long time ago and they either didn't try to keep up the friendship or we were so far apart in interests that we had nothing in common.  

     

    I admit I've been this person before. I just am so busy in SL with DJing and doing other stuff I forget or don't have time to talk to people in SL. D;

    [Closed] New DJ seeking in world employment!

    Hi guys!

    I am a brand new DJ within Second Life. I have just learned how to use Mixxx thanks to some SL friends and even using Google and YouTube. I am a very new DJ, but am willing and able to take advice and feedback from others. Below is what I have typed/saved up in a notecard. 

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Looking to work at a club, at your SL wedding, venue, or anything as a DJ. I have been self learning Mixxx and learning thanks to SL friends online, Google, and YouTube. I play 80's tunes, country, classic rock, rap/hip hop, and anything else you want to throw at me. Song request friendly and have decent Internet. 

    Tips and/or an agreed upon amount is ok. If a club  or venue I'm looking to possibly be a cover or perhaps take 1 perm set as a DJ. Due to being new to DJing in SL and DJing itself, I will work for whatever to gain experience.

    I am able to provide my own stream. :) Please send me a notecard as IMs maybe capped!

    Thank You,

    NipahRika (Rika)

    Edit: No longer looking!

    I tell them like it is . If you want to look " good" you WILL have to spend money . Until you've decided whether it's worth spending money in second life or not , you can experiment with the ugly free stuff . 

    Yup, exactly!! I ended up caving and just got the Erika mesh body the other day! It came with some clothes to wear and mess about with. I found some clothes on MP and even some in world itself. You got to spend money to 'look good' for sure.

    Smaller newbie friendly clubs are okay, teach them how to use the dance animations or ask to join a group dance, pretty regions to explore, help filling out their profiles, a short etiquette lesson on friending, talking in local vs IMing, how to use search and where to find the Destination Guide, how to make and find a landmark, and the most important lesson - patience.

    I for sure agree with this. I came back as a not new SL user and found the bigger clubs just didn't give me a positive or full on newbie friendly vibe. I only know of one club which I'd not suggest to furry avis and similar types. I went there when my avi could come off as a furry or anthro! I found 2 clubs but one is technically a sister club where furry types are welcomed alongside Dinkies! Fun times there as a VIP!! :) Be very careful in general with what communities you find and even join in SL too in relation to fur and anthro stuff too. I'd stay far away from certain adult stuff in the fur community. Not against adult sims or adult hangouts, but most of the time I've found they can be used as pickup spots.

    I found it very rare to meet the shop owner or anyone who might be working for them. I've met skybox rental folks before who were helping me find one back years ago. :) Was a fun experience and sometimes I'd get a cheaper option cause didn't want certain stuff.

    If you know of any good clubs in which people actually socialize instead of dancing while AFK and saying the same old greetings, pleasantries and short comments, then by all means, let me know!

     

    I am just a member/VIP of these clubs and do not work for them. Not lesbian clubs or anything, but I've found they are acceptable of everyone and anyone. 

    Back to the 80s is one club I like where people do socialize usually. I sometimes AFK dance there and just remain quiet at times when doing something else on the side.

    http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Awa/145/220/3501 is the SLURL! A place where the Eighties, the Decade of Excess, lives on with some of the best music from 1979-1991 in a world full of neon nights and pop-culture nostalgia. Come Back To The 80's and Feel Where You Belong!

    http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Davvi/47/48/3502  -- [IN]dustry Nightclub is pretty much another club with the same folks in it, maybe different people too. Founded in 2020, by clubbers, for clubbers, delivering some of the hottest tracks from across the genres! Our DJs are legit, our Hosts friendly, and our Guests nothing

    I find attending clubs when they do events is best as that's when I notice people tend to socialize and talk more

    Female Spaces - Making Friends

    in Make Friends

    Making friends in a non adult sim is probably best IMO. Some/most adult sims and even some LGBTQ+ groups can just be pickup stuff.  I've made some acquaintances in 2 neko and fur friendly dance clubs recently, but I am starting to consider some of those people my friends. :)  You do you. It is your SL after all, not mine.

    However, most of these female-only communities are dance clubs; I've found that beyond saying "hello", making brief comments and dancing, not much socializing takes place between the members. They're often busy in IM, away or don't respond beyond saying "hello" or making brief comments as I just mentioned. It can be rather awkward and it quickly gets lonely in a crowd. Being a lover of mainly classical music and jazz, I find the music of these clubs rather unengaging. In general, I've found the experience in these places to be rather boring.

    This has been my issue with clubs in general besides the two I find myself going back to. The people are just like AFK dancing, or do not reply to me due to my avi being a neko (she has regular human skin and shape! has cat ears and a tail tho).

    Thanks for this interesting post. Would you say that trans women, such as myself, would be welcome in the lesbian venues you've mentioned?

     

    Yes, I think trying to search for trans friendly clubs (gen to moderate) you may find some stuff. I have not looked myself to give any thought out input or suggestions.

    My other advice—as a male IRL but cis-female in SL—is to avoid some of the edgier/darker/kink themed lesbian spots in SL because while I can't be certain of the actual sex/gender of the person behind the keyboard, I have this general rule that the sexier the sim, the less likely it's a woman behind the screen in that female avatar. I know that's a weird attitude for someone like me to make, and is very presumptive, but I have found it to be true often enough.

    I agree, but for me over the years I just don't care what gender IRL or even in SL someone is. It doesn't bug me whatsoever. I know it does others, and I get that and understand that.

    Back To The 80s Nightclub

    After coming back to SL after a long time one club stood out to me, and it is Back To The 80s Nightclub. :)  I feel welcome as someone who RPs as a neko here. There are other furries and similar folk who also are in the club. What really drove me to making this club my home is how nice one of the DJs was to me in IMs and talked to me when I left the club to go to other events. Sadly not all clubs are welcome to furries, nekos, etc.. :( So it is good to find one on SL which will accept us. 

    http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Awa/147/211/3501 

    So if you do like 80s music, it's a cool place you can check out.

    Second Pride runs a few events through the year. They might be a bit more dance party than you'd like, though you can wander the regions and find info on other groups in some of the stalls/shops.

    * * Fantasy Faire Fans * * is for the event starting on 18th April (2024). Fantasy Faire has a whole bunch of stuff, but it specifically has a literary festival. This page will have more info closer to the time, but you can see some of the stuff they've done before. https://fantasyfairesl.wordpress.com/literary-festival-2024/

    SL Sci-Fi Con is a group for a science fiction event (that starts on 24th May this year). Also has an associated Discord, which posts a lot of events for other scifi-related communities through the year. The booths usually include some gaming and tech stuff, as well as the more classic scifi things.

    Bellisseria Citizens wins for the most random chit-chat of the groups I'm in. Even if you don't have a Linden Home, it's a fairly casual place to get used to talking to people in groups. Also not connected to an event, so people chat most days, rather than mainly around event time.

    I'm not part of any comedy or debate groups, so I don't have any suggestions for those.

    Wow, all useful stuff to note. I also am a bit like the OP here. I swear there's a bunch of stuff you can find and learn about in SL if you look, OP.

    Looking for places to makes friends!

    I turned my draw distance down and that fixed a ton of the lag for me @Orwar. 

    I found a thread on a subreddit which gave someone asking advice and tips on lag etc. So far, so good. I am gonna clear my cache every so often. I go to places like clubs which can have a ton of avis and there's some lag and slowness of course.

    Anyway, onto the OP's comment/question.. I found the best way to make friends in SL is to meet and talk to people in places you go to. For example like clubs, music venues, gaming areas/spaces, and so on.
