Me and my bestie in SL ❤

Last bit of spam, but messing with windlights and edits

Sporting my lovely 'got out of jail' tattoos. Along with poor editing and a non interesting avatar

You can't make friends in this game because it's a game.

My avie looks gorgeous today imo :3

How does my avie look today? Freaking adorable if I must say so myself ❤️

Your avie is super adorable! If you like kawaii things, I’m your person. I’m also getting back into the whole SL photography thing and it’s would be nice to take photos with others as well as follow

I finally changed my head to a LAQ one. I think it looks adorable ♥️

I’m someone who loves to talk about anything and everything. Pretty much open to learning all sorts of new things. I’ve been on SL on and off again for years now

People who ignore you for no reason even when trying to be polite or positive.

I took some time away from SL as I felt it was much needed, but I am back and looking to start over and remake friends. I’m into a number of things, but it’s difficult for me to describe myself and who I am or what I like. I just feel people out and go on from there. I want SL to be fun for me again.

I am black IRL but just recently got back into SL after a short hiatus. Even if I don’t use a black avatar off hand, I’m pretty much open to conversation.

To be honest, I’m not sure if other games would slow down my laptop as much as SL does, but then again I don’t play any other online games other than SL. It takes a lot away from the experience and because I’m not tech savvy, i honestly have no idea what’s wrong or how to fix it. Sort of up in arms at this point.

My laptop originally came with Windows 8 and then when 10 was released I was prompted and asked if I wanted to download it, which I did. I didn’t update any drivers and none of the drivers will update in the first place. They always say they’re already up-to-date. Guess it’s a number of things, really.

Err...here’s the funny part, but they aren’t on. ?

Sorry, you lost me. I’m not good with technical talk. So, much of what you’re writing I don’t honestly understand that much of. I just know I’ve been dealing with more lag than before and was wondering about some factors that could be causing it besides just running SL on a rather old laptop.

When I ran a ping test, it says it’s fine. So, who knows. ?

Sure thing! My laptop isn't meant for SL to be fair. It's very old and on top of is still running Windows 8.1 because when I downloaded 10, my system acted strangely so I figured it best to revert back and never decided on using it after. On top of an already crappy connection, I don't believe my laptop is honestly helping the situation. But, weirdly enough I felt as though it's gotten worse. I've deleted temporary files and other things I believed might've contributed to general slow down on SL, but nothing seem to work.

Thanks a ton! I started having a feeling about this considering at my home, my FPS actually goes up from 1.5 to 12. And I’m sure the bad connectivity makes more populated sims more difficult to run. I’m sure there’s other issues that ties into the lag, but glad I have idea what’s mostly causing it. ?

Thank you for your response! And yes, I figured that might be a contributing factor. Lately my lag is worse than it has been a few months ago, which I’m starting to believe not only is due to my laptop but also the fact our house connection isn’t the best at all and tends to go out at random.

Can intense lag (I’m talking about running on average of 1.5 FPS at most sims that aren’t empty) also be the result of internet speed? Or is the issue more complex than that? Could it be the computer or the sim itself? I’m not tech savvy so I don’t know much about this stuff, but even at low settings there’s still tons of lag. I wonder if internet connectivity and speed can also effect this.

I already had a nice chat with the gentleman who I originally responded to and he was very friendly and Iike many things online, misunderstood. Just like you, we can have our varying number of opinions and just because there are parts that are negative doesn’t mean someone has to leave it. But, thanks for responding to something I wrote pages back. Your input was read. ❤️?☺️
