The Monthly Time Travelers Tea Dance is Saturday December 2, 1-3PM SLT at The Piermont Landing Ready for a respite from the Holiday Music for just ONE more week? We've got you covered with a steampunk symphony, a bit of Vivaldi's winter music gone electric and then ending with some quiet and contemplative pieces that travel us back to the 1880's at the end. Please do join us.

Fauve, studying a music score under the gently swaying palms of Bellisseria while her typists builds a couple of playlists and listens in for new arrivals.

24 hour days in First Life...can I have just, like 1 more maybe? Every OTHER day even? Is there a setting? I need better time management skills but if I had the time to learn that, I wouldn't need them now would I? ...and yes I am mostly just poking fun at myself at this point. Another Peeve. Self - get it together, The Holidays are nigh!!

I just like the phrase "Fashion Nugget" I feel seen! -
Halloween Night Story Time at 8pm SLT, with an extra half hour -after- to listen to themed music and chat as we wait for The Great Pumpkin or trick-or-treat a bit more. We will hold this on-site in local chat as usual for the stories, then extend the conversation into the Steampunks of New Babbage Group chat secondlife:///app/group/8eed0287-8502-6eb6-4307-abf9bbacc2c1/about for the second hour as some of us run around everywhere like the hooligans we are + drive the Hayride. What does āHalloween in New Babbageā sound like? Tune in to Find Out. (stream: https://tinyurl.com/FauveRadio ). Location: The Pumpkin Patch, at the Tinker Camp, north of the City Wall http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Babbage Palisade/40/208/94

Peeved at myself when Iām tired and donāt express my thoughts very clearly. Peeved I need so much sleep - I thought we needed less as time passes? Peeved thereās no pie.

Yes, Iām sorry, my mistake. I should have instead said āpart of the Linden Homes Premium areasā, because Iām assuming the Bellisseria landscaping is a good part of the incentive to own a Linden Home - but thatās just my guess. If LL is going to āupgrade the plants on Mainlandā, Iām thinking this would mean replacing the textures on the existing system plants available in the build menu? I donāt know. Iāll be interested to learn more.
-
Belli trees (and builds) are in Premium areas for a reason so to my mind, they are part of the Premium content that is included as a benefit for the paid subscriptions. Sure, I donāt see why the Lab shouldnāt do some upgraded plant & tree texture content for Mainland along with the updates to ground textures - but I also think that Premium content should remain so.

Aii has an interesting āMesh Hair Add-onsā set of mod-able, tintable hair pieces to play with but they are more loopy and up-do thingsā¦but they may work well with some of your existing items? Love your look above!

But Iām never going overboard. Orā¦Great - never in balance. no one said the letters had to be used in order or only read one way, did they? š MADAM

Still waffling a little over taking an alt to lifetime Premium and keep Fauve P+. Since the first 2048 P+ regions have landed, I will likely want to keep one of those (current or future theme) and still be able to play GOH with an additional 1024 or 512 Linden home. Many do. Lifetime Premium pays for itself in 7.5 years vs yearly membership fee if I counted correctly. Iāve been here over 15 years and Iāll likely be in SL until they wheel me out, or SL itself turns out the lights whichever comes first, haha. Iām betting on both of those scenarios being well more than enough to make it financially viable. I do like the idea of staying another 22+ years and paying 1/3 of the cost overall. Maybe Iāll do it.
-
The people paying tier on it. š says the gal who pays tier on 2 ālegacy buildsā (though in a private region, itās true - but Iāve considered relocating one to a Mainland parcel - and still may). edit: if itās Mole-built, then LL, as they paid the Moles to build all of it.

New book about SL: "Making a Metaverse That Matters"
Fauve Aeon replied to animats's topic in General Discussion Forum
SL is over a half a billion dollars āsuccessfulā with what it has. Costs go up and existing user bases decline over time though. In a potential growth stage I think thereās room for both kinds of developments, attraction & retention - including hopefully some ācome backā initiatives to existing but inactive users. The new Senra starter avatars seem promising as a much better start than previous beginner avatars, especially with dev kits available. Not everyone is into avatar styling and the idea that you need to immediately buy and learn to use a bunch of replacement body parts for your avatar to even ālook decent and not be considered noob or outdatedā is for the birds if you arenāt āinto itā. The new Welcomehub is nice and thereās both new development (laser tag, Motown, movies & more) and much-needed basics (a sandbox & dressing rooms) and weāve seen continued development of the currently successful things like Bellisseria expansions. Why not both - some continued development and offering some new & more game-like activities? With the mobile apps, I think thereās going to be somewhat of a shift in the way SL is approached, I did read that when IMVU went mobile in 2014 and it had a growth jump. As of 2020, its user base was 80% mobile. Thatās something to consider. Quotes from an article at gamedeveloper.com: Product operations VP "Patch" said it would be possible to do "pretty much anything you can do with the desktop Second Life viewer without being tethered to your computer." So to me that says - by nature of app vs viewer - although some things may be approached differently from a UI standpoint by necessity, I donāt think the mobile apps will change the fundamentals. I donāt think mobile SL is going to turn into mostly a āsocial chat, avatar fashion doll, world of gamesā scenario. I was on the fence about reading the book, and my SL-using partner has no interest in reading it - but Iāll probably order it tonight. -
Does Itsa Fluke have a rez zone for watercraft? Hereās hoping!
-
Nope. I got tired of socials that wouldnāt show me what I signed up to see, it burns my time. Since I do a lot of research on widely variable topics, my social media ads are often all over the map.
-
Iām hoping so - they went very fast. We were offered a spot in the Premium queue but nah - plus or bust.
-
Either/Or thinking. I guess peeved is a strong word but itās more than āpuzzledā. Why shouldnāt LL try some opt-in short mini games for new people if it helps them learn and engage - to help them stick around long enough to start to find and make their place & learn the enormous potential for so much self-directed activity (or find/make additional games to play within the world if thatās their thing)? Why canāt we have volunteer peer-to-peer mentors to assist when or if asked and just being present & ready to be that first friendly contact without them being seen as ātasked with new Resident retentionā - thatās just not something I see as an accurate assessment. Why does a new initiative to attract a new set of Residents have to be seen as ānot paying adequate attention to needs of established Residentsā when new features and world-level improvements lately have been (IMO) pretty good for everyone from newbie to long-time oldbie? š¤·š¼āāļø

When they teased photos of Ranch previously, they didnāt call any kind of attention to it like they did with the hint with the stucco walls shot - but you could see the silo and gravel road.
-
@Orchid Arado I donāt think the teased theme was the āThousand Islandsā one either but I did spy something interesting and tropical in the newest mobile viewer video captioned ādevelopment buildāā¦Iām away from the device where I took the screenshot but I had set it as my profile header photo. I hope itās true!
