What's with the original poster's inability to spell the word "you"?

 

I took it as a stellar example of the type of scintillating conversation one might expect to have were one to play this game. Not helping to build their case much, is it? 🤣

[Bloodlines misunderstanding.]

I don’t think there are misconceptions. Many people who play this game have intrusively bugged way too many people who had no wish to be dragged into some spoopy RP game so that bad reputation was earned. You can say ‘not all vampires...’ all you like but the most common reaction will be twofold... 1) who cares and 2) shoo, bat, shoo.

HiFi and Sansar(not as much due to content restrictions) are the only ones that really come close to being a threat to SL but they don't have the user base to do so.

HiFi is dead. I’m wondering how long Sansar will continue.

What about Sinespace?

Everyone is so polite here! Or maybe no one will admit to being mean. I just pretend that something came up in real life. It's the perfect alibi unless the other person lives in your house.  

I’m not really a ‘mean’ person by nature though I am a bit feisty and snarky for sure. But with this talking problem I realized I’d just feel better and be able to deal with it quicker (and still be able to stay inworld to do my stuff!) by being direct and polite to friends and also (critical) that it’s perfectly ok to just completely ignore the inevitable randos, I don’t owe anyone any of my own free time unless I wish to spend it on them. It’s some of the most important, precious and finite currency we actually have.

Black. all my clothing is black. no need to match colors. just black. black everything. black top. black stockings. black shorts. black heart.

But...what happens when the blacks don’t match? That’s what causes Emo, right? 🤣

[What are some of your pet peeves?]

I thought with so much talk and info on proportions and attention to posing and emphasis on mocap animations,  people would have gotten past the tiny hands and ‘broken wrists’.

• The tiny hands badness, anyone can fix, a rough guide is to just make your hands large enough to fully cover your face from forehead to chin...
   
• the ‘broken wrist’ poses are either

1. old pre-mesh-hand poses/animations that WILL distort mesh hands, or
2. lazy creators that don’t make sure the kinematics are correct on NEW poses, animations, dances etc. 

RAWR. it’s some creepy-looking stuff.

[Blanc et Noir]

Perception. It does tell a story but I’m sorry to burst the bubble, it’s actually expressing my recent ‘Fauve’ reaction to typist taking the deep breath and closing my eyes just before my very ill cat got the death needle. Please no ‘sad’ reacts, peeps....I really hate seeing them.
Hearts only,  for kitty. 

[What's your favorite color?]

Y’all being stingy with the likes here already, I see...*sigh*. 6 minutes, no likes? Wat! 

[What's your favorite color?]

Blue. Specifically the shades of cyan and mercury/argon gas lights

...but I usually say...bloo...

 

[How to get out of a face to face conversation in SL]

I’d never get any inworld stuff done if I had to crash out, log off or otherwise pretend that it’s RL stuff calling me away. ‘I need to go do my ___ / work on my ___’ also works. I have a ‘lair’ where few are whitelisted, so I tp there. Autorespond with a message that my chat window is currently down carries the rest. 
 

I voice chat a lot though so many people I know and talk to can just tell by my voice when I get busy in photoshop or will follow the cue of the ‘chatting time is winding down’ tone I have and excuse themselves too. The sharp ones do, anyway. For text, I’m just polite but direct. 

[Game time]

reminiscing happily

[How to get out of a face to face conversation in SL]

If it is someone I know, I politely tell them I need to go, with no circumstances explained. If it’s someone random who has just decided to talk to me, I ignore them (or) TP away. 

[How are you feeling today?]

Foggy morning, snuggly kitty, a few decadent chocolate truffles...pretty good! I’m still sleepy and it’s cold despite the cloud cover but the winter birds are very chirpy and the air is fresh. I need to confirm my voter registration being all in order, the city changed some house numbering on some streets in our area, so our ‘on paper’ address has changed.

[Grant and corrupt a wish game]

Granted but now it randomly attaches to your forehead at parties and while you are just out and about, talks, waves about and animates your avatar in an interestingly bizarre series of interpretive dances. 
 

I wish my rl and SL closets were neater.

Old avatars never die, they just alt away

I think this is true in lots of cases buuuuut then there’s also always that pesky ‘no matter where you go, there you are’ thing. Some people get wise and make changes, it’s a good thing. But the ones that do it hoping for a different outcome without learning to grow and progress away from whatever was causing them difficulty in the first account (or the second, or the third), don’t seem to fare so well in the long run. And outfitting each alt nicely these days be pretty expensive! Not saying this is OP’s situation, but it’s maybe something to consider before people go making alts and investing time and L$ in it. 

[How to quit SL as graceful as possible?]

Some people go in a completely new direction, even a new account but yep, some just grow away from any useful or good SL purpose too, and find themselves unhappy and stressed no matter what and it’s better for their health and sanity to just let themselves leave. In the latter case, yes, I’d rip the bandaid and stop logging in. I’d keep my account for a while in case of change of mind though, probably. 
Good Luck 🍀

[How to quit SL as graceful as possible?]

I would take a short but complete break, see how that feels, then decide from there. Many of us go on formal hiatus fairly regularly, for varying lengths of time, then return once rested and renewed with new appreciation.
