  1. 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.
  2. Like "Queen Anne"? That's always a confusing discussion to have in international company! But lively!
  3. 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.
  4. 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!!
  5. It was fun Edward, we had a nice time. Glad you are publishing your set lists too, you played a couple of songs I didn't know.
  6. 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 ā€˜Halloween 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
  7. Peeved at myself when Iā€™m tired and donā€™t express my thoughts very clearly. Peeved I need so much sleep - I thought we needed less as time passes? Peeved thereā€™s no pie.
  8. Yes, Iā€™m sorry, my mistake. I should have instead said ā€˜part of the Linden Homes Premium areasā€™, because Iā€™m assuming the Bellisseria landscaping is a good part of the incentive to own a Linden Home - but thatā€™s just my guess. If LL is going to ā€˜upgrade the plants on Mainlandā€™, Iā€™m thinking this would mean replacing the textures on the existing system plants available in the build menu? I donā€™t know. Iā€™ll be interested to learn more.
  9. 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 donā€™t see why the Lab shouldnā€™t 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.
  10. Aii has an interesting ā€˜Mesh 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!
  11. But Iā€™m 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? šŸ™ƒ MADAM
  12. 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. Iā€™ve been here over 15 years and Iā€™ll likely be in SL until they wheel me out, or SL itself turns out the lights whichever comes first, haha. Iā€™m 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 Iā€™ll do it.
  13. The people paying tier on it. šŸ˜‰ says the gal who pays tier on 2 ā€˜legacy buildsā€™ (though in a private region, itā€™s true - but Iā€™ve considered relocating one to a Mainland parcel - and still may). edit: if itā€™s Mole-built, then LL, as they paid the Moles to build all of it.
  14. SL is over a half a billion dollars ā€˜successfulā€™ with what it has. Costs go up and existing user bases decline over time though. In a potential growth stage I think thereā€™s room for both kinds of developments, attraction & retention - including hopefully some ā€˜come 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 ā€˜look decent and not be considered noob or outdatedā€™ is for the birds if you arenā€™t ā€˜into itā€™. The new Welcomehub is nice and thereā€™s both new development (laser tag, Motown, movies & more) and much-needed basics (a sandbox & dressing rooms) and weā€™ve 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 thereā€™s 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. Thatā€™s 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 donā€™t think the mobile apps will change the fundamentals. I donā€™t think mobile SL is going to turn into mostly a ā€˜social 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 Iā€™ll probably order it tonight.
  15. Does Itsa Fluke have a rez zone for watercraft? Hereā€™s hoping!
  16. Nope. I got tired of socials that wouldnā€™t 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.
  17. Iā€™m hoping so - they went very fast. We were offered a spot in the Premium queue but nah - plus or bust.
  18. ĀæIntentĆ³ cerrar sesiĆ³n en el visor y en el navegador del sitio web y luego volver a iniciar sesiĆ³n? SĆ© que es frustrante tener dificultades. Los tickets de soporte se pueden hacer aquĆ­ https://lindenlab.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new
  19. Either/Or thinking. I guess peeved is a strong word but itā€™s more than ā€˜puzzledā€™. Why shouldnā€™t 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 thatā€™s their thing)? Why canā€™t 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 ā€˜tasked with new Resident retentionā€™ - thatā€™s 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 ā€˜not 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? šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø
  20. When they teased photos of Ranch previously, they didnā€™t 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.
  21. @Orchid Arado I donā€™t think the teased theme was the ā€œThousand Islandsā€ one either but I did spy something interesting and tropical in the newest mobile viewer video captioned ā€˜development buildā€™ā€¦Iā€™m away from the device where I took the screenshot but I had set it as my profile header photo. I hope itā€™s true!
