    Was the angry lady in the red jumpsuit there? She hated Mainlanders.

    What kind of a build is it? Luna was talking about "Skyboxes are dark; chah..." before as if that was some sort of given. If there's some type of dome or enclosure around it you'd want it to transmit outside light or you're going to get the windowless room thing. The alternative would be to use an environment with a higher background light level, which is how things were set up before. One of my alt relatives has a store that sells houses and she was using Catznip to take pictures of a newer model so it would look similar to the pre-PBR lighting of older models. It was striking how milky and flat everything looked after getting used to the PBR look.

    Okay, coming right up... They didn't because it isn't.

    I admit that certain posts had me picture some walking into a windowless room and shutting the door: "AAAHHH! I CAN"T SEE! "click" "Never mind."

    This is the reason I said that any forum thread that starts with "why" is probably going to be a dumpster fire. And "begging the question" doesn't mean, "inspires a question to be asked," it means "asking a question with an answer that's baked into the original inquiry." Which is exactly what you just did. https://www.txst.edu/philosophy/resources/fallacy-definitions/begging-the-question.html#:~:text=The fallacy of begging the,called arguing in a circle.

    How do you create and sell non-PBR houses when there is no standardized lighting model? One problem with these threads is people are talking about reflection probes as if they're required, or that things will somehow catch fire if they're not used. PBR items will work just about as well or badly as anything else in Second Life without any sort of reflection probe or other jiggery-pokery. Yes, they may not be completely optimized, but things have been reflecting some random scene that has nothing to do with the actual world for decades and as far as I can tell nobody's gotten rickets.

    And they don't understand the idea of amounts between "all" and "nothing."

    For those of you who think I'm a big mean meanie - note that I'm not saying a blessed thing about "losers" right now.

    I have a legacy last name because I happened to join something like a week before they were discontinued. I don't think it gives me "status", but it does sometimes give me a warm fuzzy nepobaby feeing of "I have something I really don't care about and I did nothing special to deserve but it bothers you that I have it and you don't" when I hear... some people... complaining about "last-namers."

    Oooh, "hypercrite." Let's do this...

    Fallacy. Using emojis is independent of the forum reputation score. If a food store gives S & H Green Stamps (yes, I'm old) and someone buys food from that store, that doesn't necessarily mean that person collects S & H Green Stamps.

    And then there are the ideas that people come up with which they don't really think through and don't have any evidence that it will work or knowledge about what needs to be done to carry it out, but hey, it's their idea and their ideas are good, right? So anyone opposed to it must be brainwashed sheeple.

    I was going to say something snarky, but I actually remembered an interesting example. Back when mesh clothing was new, mesh didn't always show up soon/ever. Someone noticed an obscure debug setting called "MeshMaxConcurrentRequests" - increasing this setting seemed to help things for some people/under some conditions. So, people started talking about it and turning it up; in fact, turning it up to incredibly high numbers. The fact that it was a hidden setting didn't mean much, because everyone knows Linden Lab can't program their own software correctly, right? The problem is that it wasn't doing what people thought it did. What it actually did was flood the servers with requests that would actually make it less likely any given mesh request would go through, and could in fact slow down the running of the servers in general. This became worse and worse as more people started doing it. I was at one server meeting and a group of angry fashionistas showed up complaining about performance; their very presence caused the performance to go down. Eventually, some of the developers heard what was going on and made it impossible to jack up the setting, and the problem went away.
