Neither in just a random social setting because neither are at all my type. Yes, appearance counts for me because in SL we choose what to present. No there’s not anything at all wrong with the way either avatar looks. Just to be clear. I did look at Rhonda’s profile, only because the thread asks ’what do I think’ and last name was supplied so it was easy to cut/paste. And yep, skimming that profile shows that we don’t share any readily apparent major interests. I definitely would not approach or ask a partnered female dominant with the last name of ‘Huntress’ to dance in the hypothetical random social situation. That said, I’d pretty much ask anyone from here to dance at a party organized for forum members, because the social dynamic would be different, at least to me. I do ask some people to dance, both male and female. Just not often. Usually something we have strongly in common in the profile or when it’s evident that we share an aesthetic makes me decide to.

I’m catching a cold, I can’t sleep and I feel like 💩. But don’t give me sad faces, because I’ll then have to hunt you with my cupcake gun...knocking you clean across the sim region. also I need to give up sugar and carbs again, I’ve backslid into wretched eating habits. My sweetie has a big fever and it worries me, he so rarely gets sick and he’s burning up despite NSAIDs dosing. Even the kitty is crabby tonight. When it rains, it pours. 🌧😓

I’d test all of it. Bring it! If it’s gross, I’m not gonna die, if it’s delish, well that’s a fun thing. I’m OK with trying weird food, new food, odd things. Live a little.

Welp, my cousin (alt) did not win either and she submitted a lot of entries, c’est la vie! Guess I gotta just buy her one eventually. She’s such a freeloader, I swear. And from the looks of things, there were a ton of great (and useful) names submitted so a big congrats to the winners. The competition was fun too so thanks @Keira Linden for choosing a few extra winners. I’m really looking forward to last names landing once again.

Avon Lady? 😉

I would like to see a timeline and updates regularly of the cloud move, including a projected finish date (Dec 31, 2020 as of right now?) and hear a little more detail about what sort of features are going to be on hold until the move is complete. I have a feeling it’s going to be a lot of features delayed and on hold, and that unless we are kept up to date with News, people are going to get frustrated and impatient in the meantime and feel like the lab employees are not listening when there aren’t many feature updates for a long time. The whole “soon “, “very soon “, etc. is not very useful and I get that it is supposed to be funny and playful when regarding features that are optional but I don’t really find it funny anymore when it’s applied to every update and serious things too. I agree that identifying timelines has come back to bite the lab in the past and I really regret that...however some sort of loose conversational timeline/transparency isn’t unreasonable to ask. residents need to definitely back off on screaming about Deadlines like a toddler crying “you said… “ though because we just get less if we demand more, however I’m asking 🙂 I would also like to hear about the new engineering project that Ebbe referred to, even if it’s just small details. But I have a feeling it’s something big, what can you tell us? some huge overhaul in 2021? That’s the thing I’m most curious about. As far as premium plus, I would like for you to take a poll of the residents on which possible features we would actually like to have before you decide concretely on at least some of the premium plus features. I’m sure that the ‘pluuuus’ thing was an inside joke of some sort but without context it’s simply not funny to the rest of us. As an aside; Strawberry can moderate the volume of all of the speakers Via her chat control panel in the UI, as she is the one streaming/recording...so since it bothered quite a few people enough that it actually put them off of listening to the chat entirely, maybe she could do a voice check and adjust levels at the beginning of each broadcast. I didn’t use headphones to listen to it so it didn’t really bother me.

I stopped posting here because once I get the negative out, first by identifying, writing and finally by doing...I generally start to feel my mood lift, I start to feel better and want to post more cheery and upbeat posts. Which I feel awkward posting about here in the thread. I also took bikini photos this week in SL, first I’ve taken in a really long time. I went to an SL pool party and socialized and it felt really good. I guess I do feel like sharing that tidbit because I often will have to take action to make my mood lift and sometimes it’s done in SL. Hoping it helps someone else make a small step towards feeling better too, I guess?

3 RL including my current one. We met in SL and have been together RL 11 years in April. It was my only SL relationship. but now I want a chintz ground texture for a project...🤣

So assuming it’s a bot avatar, block them, I guess. Since my notices like this in firestorm are set to not ever pop up, I just clear stray group invitations when I check and clear system messages and group notices. I have them all set to not just pop up, too distracting! The only time I get a pop up is if I click on something myself or for sim restarts.

Mute and blacklist the item with the script in it? I also have my viewer set to not pop up group invites, requests to attach things or to be animated by things.

Meetings are surreal in SL. Admiring my winter kimono sleeves in a decidedly not winter landscape. 😎

Back from the New Babbage pool party at Brunel Hall, time to shower the chlorine and my spray tan off, take a sauna, meditate and go to bed. We had quite a bit of fun and I pushed Mr Pearse into the pool...AFTER he played my song request ofc. Music of the day: Black Swan - BTS. It is both easy and difficult to decorate in our suite at Angel Manor. Easy because you just look for (or make) the most elegantly styled things to add personal touches, difficult because in a 12 region royal palace estate, very little in the way of luxury hasn't already been provided for us by the family.

This week my request would be (and I need to learn to make a JIRA I guess...) is ability to leave certain stores out of a MP search. One of my SL activities is costuming for Ballet Pixelle dance company. It would really make my searches so much easier if I could eliminate the shops/makers who make things that I know we will never use for costuming. I do use ‘NOT storename’ which works sometimes but not consistently, depending on the listing and keywords used. I am building myself a little page of search strings. But it’s a slog.

Tropical archipelago theme! 🌴🍹🏝

I usually use Maitreya body but I have always liked SLink hands and feet better, more options for nail length and coloring and this update, 2 more foot options. Since they are what I started with, I have SLink-only manicures and shoes I still like.

Still cyan.

Well today deserves a short video because I did indeed take a prisoner, one might say...does she look familiar? 😉 she did work very hard so I gave her lunch break.

HYPED!

Searching Fruitlessly

Then we wouldn’t have anyone to ridicule? what if the singularity never happens?

When I joined the avatars looked less varied and I didn’t join to be something, I joined to explore and make things and see what other people were doing in there. That’s still basically why I’m here, these reasons at their simplest. Some days I’m human, sometimes a doll, I’ve been a butterfly, a colorful puppy, a peacock and anything else I can think to wear. I’m often invisible or lately, a wearing only a little sparkle poofer.

I would restructure my SL hobby to not need such large land in areas with hiked up costs...and spend within my budget, same as I always have. I’m doing this anyway and I don’t have any budget cuts. Just because being right sized in SL makes me happiest. Aside from community, I asked myself about the extra land I was keeping in one place and decided to cut our holdings there by about half and dive deeper on everything instead with my projects there. I was spread too thin over too many things. I have a place to build in several communities and access to premium sandboxes in addition. I’ve learned to take out and put away my projects neatly just as I do at home, with a Gyazo folder full of snapshots for each and so also gone is any messy build platforms. 2020 is going to be a ‘less but better’ year for me to refine my plans and streamline my projects.
