  1. 10's of thousands of sims. Even if you were allowed back on the one in question, why would you want to be someplace you won't be welcomed? Just find another and move on.
  2. Loved the book, and understand why they had to make the movie the way they did. Much more action in the movie then the book had. But yeah, the movie didn't impress me much.
  3. You might want to read the first post for the Favorite Destinations subject. https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/420500-please-read-posting-a-destination/
  4. Word of advice, get a separate drive or flash drive or something you can disconnect from your PC when it needs repairs and keep things you may not want others to have access to on that. I keep all personal info, things I'm in the process of making and anything else I don't want others to see on externals. Plus stuff I don't care if they see, but take up tons of room. Like the content I have for a rendering program and textures I use for making things for SL.
  5. You mean something like Sansar, where you choose exactly where you want to go and bypass any interaction with anyone except for the people at your destination. Or someplace that starts you in a central location with a bunch of doors, and you run to the one you want? I've experienced both, and while there can be downfalls in an open world like SL, the other kinds I hate with a passion. I enjoy open exploring and have often met some great people just passing them on my walks from sim to sim. You don't get kindly reminded there are people using a central portal area. You get reminded that too many people in one area creates mega lag and you just want out.
  6. Welcome back! If it's a long journey you want, you might want to look for the mainland continents. Most have roads you can travel, with many roadside places you can stop in and visit. I live on Gaeta V and walked the perimeter of the continent a couple months ago and the trip prompted me to make a public roadside rest stop. The place I hear most about for sailing is the Blake Sea. Your best bet to find a continent is open your world map and they tend to be on the far right side. Also Google Second Life Continents to find more.
  7. I love SL , I love Linden Labs for this place we can live in, but here's what I see in regards to Sansar on Steam. The Sansar forums, after the initial rush, gets maybe one new post every two or three days. I have a few games on Steam, and this is telling me that most Steam users are not even interested. Most don't even care enough to bother trashing it if it's not for them. I've seen games and programs on Steam trolled and trashed or loved and praised, but not nearly this much disinterest.
  8. I've been premium since day 2 and only regretted it when M was around. But I didn't give it up, during that dark time and am thrilled I didn't.
  9. I've been a gamer for years, since before I started SL, and frankly if I want combat, I can just start one of those. Unless whole teams are working on something, and I mean HUGE teams, no combat storyline in Sansar or even SL is going to compete. Not enough to get people to stay. What I do see as a possibility for working in Sansar is amusement parks and haunted houses, if Sansar runs smoothly and the textures load fast. Both of those, no matter how well done, fall flat in SL. I've been saying for years now Sansar would be a great Disneyland, and SL is home.
  10. Just an FYI, if you buy the HUD, it's good for all LAQ heads. I bought Neve though when it came out and a HUD was included with it. I actually use GA.EG for my default look.
  11. I debated a long time before posting this, and still wonder about what I will say. I found out which store the OP meant because they are on the advent listings, and once I did, I left and returned the next day. For some reason I decided to read their profile, and have now decided to boycott the store. NOT for their religious observances, but because in their RL part of the profile, they state vehemently how much they hate Second Life. By extension, that tells me they also hate me and everyone else in Second Life. I see no good reason to pay someone who doesn't even want to be in SL. I know there are many MP stores that have owners that do not spend much if any time in world. But to so obviously state how much they hate it is very offputting to me as a customer. One who has bought items from that store in the past.
  12. Trompe Loeil has some great homes and the ones I've had were easy to rescale. The only reason I changed, is the one I had been using didn't have the room for a traditional Chrismas layout.
  13. It wasn't intended as a pick up line, but when my first partner was exploring my land and I was a few weeks old (rezzwise), I could see his name but not him, and saw it at my window. So I asked out loud "Are you invisible or just very, very tiny?" He laughed and took off the prim that made him invisible (in the days before alphas), we chatted and were together for over 2 years.
  14. My preferences are 50's-70's hits, swing of almost any era, smooth jazz and classical. I have a MyTunes player I usually stream a modern swing YouTube channel on for my media player. For my parcel stream, it's usually set to a 30-40's era swing station or something from the 70's.
  15. Temporarily derender the larger object, do what you need to do, relog, everything as it should be.
  16. I've seen duplicate photos used, but so far not they sayings themselves.
  17. Actually I had this happen to me my first year. Some guy settled his flying carpet over my house and made off with a lot of my things. I and the 3 friends who were with me at the time ARed immediately and a couple of Lindens even came to my place to try to get my stuff back. Fortunately his carpet got stuck not far away. He was using some kind of hacked script we think. I was told they had simultaneously tracked him on more then one sim even while he was stuck. They were able to retrieve most of my stuff, but none of my no-copy items. 12 years later I still even remember the persons name. I know they were banned immediately, and I can't find them now in search. Thankfully that's gotten harder for idiots to do since then.
  18. Fun little toy. Considering the source, I found this one interesting.
  19. That's a rather sweeping generalization. I have read many thousands of books during my life, and enjoy all types. From comics to theoretical physics. I also enjoy different types of movies. I enjoy the Marvel Universe of comics because they allow for flawed characters, characters of different races and are not always clear on whether the evil is true evil or something that is just misplaced in the universe we know.
  20. I loved anticipating when he'd turn up.
  21. Passed away at the age of 95. Thank you for your MARVELous characters.
  22. Lately the ones giving me fits are the ones that include everything mentioned above AND a picture of their own logo, but still no copy of the vendor ad. A picture of the brand logo is thoroughly useless to just about anyone I know.
