I really don't give a sod if someone says I'm angsty or edgy for this. It's legit good.

Probably 'cus you don't understand why someone chooses that kind of avatar. It's boring to think that only humans would exist.

Oh I don't care it's just these guys think they're being badasses I mean and try to impress.

Naw, the bots are legit bots programmed to do whatever man. They take a typical account and then program it in. Then the avatar does it's thing while the owner can sit back and watch if they want. As for the ToS? It's simple; rebels, people breaking the rules for fun you know? And yep! I genderbend, I bend my avs in all sorts of ways. From being a anthro wolf to a busty elven lady.

The logic never made sense to me. All it is is a heavily stylized human; it's like a Team Fortress character. It's all human at the end of the day and speaking of; those rules in general are just a toxic mind-set to have considering Second Life itself has no imposed rule or whatever on what can and can not exist in the world. Infact, Linden Lab has established there are indeed alien pig people in SL's lore so this notion that only humans exist in these peoples' minds is as flawed as ever and in general it's a logical fallacy altogether since if a human can exist as a sentient species then another sentient species can exist, if not the human wouldn't exist either as logic dictates anyways. If people actually think there's only one bit of intelligent life in galaxy like that then they're mistaken. We're on a rock floating in space as much as any other planet so from one point of view we're aliens ourselves... and that's not even counting the possibility of a biologically engineered race like by the government. So many variables on this subject. ... Though I'm kinda getting abit off-track here with that but you get what I'm saying.

Mhm, dancing with the car to speak, tap-tap-tap the throttle now and then, release and just let good 'ole inertia do the rest making a clean racing line and indeed; Porsche is one of my tops along with their counter-part Ruf which is a highly fascinating company. They take bodies of Porsches and add in their own original parts and make them Porsches on steroids. They are officially recognized by the German government as their own production models and not mods so they have VINs and so on. A really unique company to be sure. It's cool spotting the differences (though subtle) between the two; could say the average person would see a Ruf as another 911 but yeah. It's like that.

Can't say I'm a drifter kind of guy. My driving style is more like turning and taking those turns, cruising through with precision etc. So I got a fondness for rear-wheel drive/rear-ear engine cars especially like the Porsche 911.

Ah, I thought so... It's all good I mean, I got their Audi TT and VW Rabbit (the Gulf predecessor) at any rate.

Lusch like the car company? I do miss some of their older models, like the VW Gulf replica (messed my chance to buy it).

I'm more fascinated by what Russia is interested in... you'd think more of the West would be all about that hentai knowing the weeb situlation. Explains so much about the Blake Sea in particular being crowded with em'...

Yeah, from my experiences when you're actively searching for something it's less likely to happen and when you're not it's more likely to come at you when you least expect it and it leaves a great feeling 'randomly' stumbling upon something. Somehow it seems like life is it's own living entity and knows our desires and fears and manifests them accordingly at it's own leisure. It might sound crazy but I've noticed alot of weird 'happenings' like that go on with me.

The biggest issue is setting high expectations anyways, over time you realize things are not as they seem and it's just how they go as you roll with it. Take it in strikes. Second Life has the potential as does everything else, just gotta take the time with it and all. There's really no real fix, nothing we can really do about it. I remind myself of expectation - reality on the daily. Such as an avatar might not turn out how I want it but I'll go "Sod it" and work on another project until I find whatever 'fits' as an example. Overall, I sometimes say: "When in doubt, yolo" within reasonable means ofcourse but yeah.

Tbh? Voice itself is an annoyance for me half of the time. It alienates most of us and for those of us that are hard of hearing, it's a struggle as they generally expect someone to chat on voice. I have mine turned off most of the time for reasons like that and more. Other reasons it's annoying hearing those munches and overall sounds people make with a bloody open mic. Voice in it's concept is an amazing thing but more often than not in practice it's a headache.

You could say I do 'Halloween' things in Second Life everyday; by getting some oddball avatar or whatever and doing random things to people like standing near their house's window and peer in silently then walk off. I did just that with a Waddle Doo from the Kirby series and it was lulzy seeing that huge eye-ball gaze into the place like: "Hey, how ya doing eh? Nice place ya got here...".

Pretty much, for around the similar price of 9 USD you can get 2,500L. It's more cost-effective than premium. The only advantage I can see owning your own land is that you have no restrictions on how you can theme your house and what not; otherwise renting from someone has alot more pros. The stipend and such, while it's a nice kind gesture and all is a little too low for the value. It almost seems redundant when buying L$s is like paying for premium; you're supporting LL eitherway but getting more in the process. Which reminds me of how some residents would look down on 'free' members back in the day when the jist is we're all giving our support here like that it's silly.

One thing I've learned over time? There's a certain group of people that are aware of the ToS and all of that but they just don't give a sod about it. They get a certain thrill out of doing it.

1: It'll take a little bit to explain but there's a number of bots in Second Life that serve various functions and they'll be around in particular sims like info-hubs where there's less lag and they'll be logged in for months on end. Each has their own differing behaviors as well, such as one will instantly TP away when you walk up to it and another will instantly walk/fly back to it's original position perfectly if you bump/otherwise mess around with it and at times there will be a whole platoon of bots roaming together (I've seen 20 in one stack) and when you go up to them all instantly TP out at the same time. That's what I mean by the 'bot phenomenon'. There's actually a place inworld where you can purchase a bot, get the password to the account and control it as you see fit; program it and just let it do whatever. There's much I can touch on about it but yeah. 2: Depends on the people really, SL is highly diverse like that. Yeah, you can get into fights (pretty much, got a military community and all of that, that have combat sims). 3: Avs=short for avatar. I experiment with various looks. Male, female etc.

1: Sail 2: Drive 3: Fly 4: Explore the mainland and uncover the mysteries about it (there are a ton like the bot phenomenon). 5: Observe people and see how they interact with each other like Second Life is The Sims but on steroids and take notes. Learn alot. Etc. 6: Sometimes engage in conversation. 7: Yolo and just do whatever as Second Life has virtually no limits. 8: Haul cargo around Tulagi and score tonnage. 9: Mess with the natives, who knows. 10: Experiment with different avs and such. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Second Life is as limited as your own mind makes it and when I factor in what's in the name; anything can happen and I sometimes do it.

One of my current forms at least...

I guess this counts as a selfie being with my caterpillar bud? Caterpillar gang!

Well, one way of not doing it is pretending to be something you're not like that dancing thing there. At times, some people can sense it and it's a turn off for them. I be as real as possible and just go with it. But other than that I do agree that yeah at times it can get difficult making friends on here regardless of what you try and hell, even having the common-interests and all of that isn't a guarantee you'll make a friend out of em'. I've accepted that over time friends will come by. There's no rush and when someone rushes into it that's an even bigger problem.
