Pet Peeve: Summer.... this freakin' heat.... melting....

Agree - it's an improvement. Agree - it could still be improved. 😉

Well hot daym! You are my hero! No more ring around the neck!!! Thank you!!

What is "Universal Neck" ... I had more luck with Maitreya & my old system head - now that I wear LeLutka head - I can't get rid of the seam to save my life. Tried everything! The neck fix from the Maitreya hud does not work (for me) at alllllll.......

No wonder... I couldn't find either one of you 🤣

Aside from the learning curve (how to walk, get dressed etc) - I agree this is the main reason so few stay. It is VERY difficult, even after years of being here, to find places to meet new people. The destination guide is a real crap shoot, and the most crowded places are not necessarily the friendliest.

Thank you, Ladies!!! After all these years, I'm still learning.

@Lindal Kidd Question. I purchased a Trivia Ball for TFC. The only way to get it to work is to give it permission to take lindens from me. I have watched it carefully, and it only takes what I set it to. If I set the game to pay out - for instance, it will take the lindens from me and then pay me back anything that isn't "won" .... is this normal?

This is great to hear!!!

Welcome to Second Life !!! I hope you enjoy yourself. It does take a bit of getting used to. I also play Sims4 now and then, and this is similar and very different. LOL There's a lot more social options in SL. Did you ever play Sims Online? That was pretty fun while it lasted. I wish building was as easy in Second Life as it is in Sims!!!! Best of luck to you!

I go all over in a variety of avatars - tho, never as a child avatar ... I have never been discriminated against. I always try to be respectful... such as the area dedicated to the WW2 era asks you to dress appropriately and even offers free clothing for you to do so. This is not about discrimination, it's about immersion. As many have said, go places that are designed for the type of avatar you are wearing at the time. It's equally unfair to ask someone who pays for land and wants to live in medieval times to allow people who are dressed in neon colors to hang out. I once dj'd for a club that would not allow a good friend of mine to come because she choose to live her SL as a child. She doesn't talk like a child, but it didn't matter - their rule was NO CHILD AVATARS. I'll be honest, it pissed me off at the time. It was a moderate sim with no real adult activity. You had to play clean songs... but nothing I could do about it. Of course ... a year later, when the owner got a "daughter" it was suddenly OK to invite your child avatar friends. Life's a beach Roll with the waves!

@Maitimo I'm still very interested in meeting up at the hangout, but mid day-mid week is a bit tricky for me as well, since I'm at work. I hope we all keep trying to gather at the hangout - it's such a nice place with so many great memories and such a large potential. I'll always try to show up and I do plan to dj there again sometime soon. All we can do is build it - and hope they come. (wink) Hugsssss

If everyone went it might be ok over there. Right now it seems to be a small, close knit group of like minded individuals who are only active in topics related to politics. No offense to the creator - who is a very nice person & quite welcoming. I enjoy the chatter here, never found it too abundant - most things are at least somewhat related to SL .... but I guess LL decided to take away the little bit of freedom we had to be human beings and get to know each other. Sad, but typical - the way the world seems to be heading.... if you ask me.

This makes me sad. I have to agree, I don't see anything wrong with a bit of chit chat here and there ... Will miss you!

I think there are so many with only subtle differences because creators want to make money - period. Once they make one head or skin that really works - all they have to do is tweak it ... kind of like they do with movies ... and sequels and reboots etc. I enjoy a change now and then, but heads are expensive! I always seem to miss the sales and freebies, so I'm sticking with what I got for quite awhile... no matter how many new heads they come out with. Other folks have more disposable income / fun income --- whatever you want to call it, so they enjoy having various bodies / heads / skins ... to see what looks they can come up with. To each their own. I was sitting here thinking about Premium Plus .. along the same lines Premium with a tweak ... and just can't see paying the extra... so in the end (for me) it comes down to how much hard earned moolah you have / want to spend for things that don't change much.

I enjoy having a virtual family ~ but it's been years since I had one. Aside from the social aspect of SL ~ I like exploring, decorating, and taking pictures.

Hi June, It's still there tho very quiet most of the time. GoSpeed Rasere would be the best person to contact, since I am not very savy about Discord. Maitimo! I swear to try and make it this Wednesday !!!!! ♥♥♥

Love this!!! ♥♥♥♥♥

I did it - hope it helps.

I made clothes back before everyone wanted "original mesh" for 100 different bodies ( yes, I exaggerate but....).... the only job I've had the whole time is dj, and I often prefer doing it at places where I don't get tips - it's just for fun. I don't like to get up on stage and beg for lindens. I was hoping to learn Blender, thought it would be lots of fun to make plants and little household things - but I never seem to have the extra time to spend on learning it - since it's not the easiest thing in the world to learn - at least not for me.

All other reasons aside, I don't think LL wants to promote the "adult" side of SL. I've read some articles that insinuated SL is just a bunch avatars having kinky sex and doesn't offer anything else. IMHO, there are already plenty of places you can have slex right out in the open, so there is no grand scale need for LL to go out of their way to add adult content.
