  1. Oh come on, old LR was easier to farm, true, but that mucky fire stuff was awful to look at, plus there was a whole bunch of gems you couldn't grab due to physics. One tiny problem I have so far.... would it have hurt to put a checkpoint close to the lava jump puzzle?
  2. Maybe you should expand your horizons a bit.
  3. Whoa, that escalated quickly. Anyways, what I'd like to see? In-world texture painting. I tried making handwraps that one time, it took me 6 times to get it to look vaguely like handwraps (thank gods for texture previews).
  4. Lessee.... Kemono, Kuroo, Hallowpup, a Signaure Geralt that I need to buy clothes for (and for there to be a wider variety than modern casual), Manticore. And those are just off the top of my head. I'm certain to have a few more niche ones. I prolly should buy a Lara if I want to wear clothes, but there's too much other stuff to buy.
  5. You wouldn't believe how lucky I was to get the deer body.
  6. I wanted to try Needs, but the HUD alone was 950 smackeroos. I was wondering if you can turn the bladder off like I did with Xeolife. (Incidentially, that just got farming. Me, I got the systeem because it's free and you don't have to spend into it.)
  7. Well, things will calm down soonish, then the weather will get colder, so more people will be indoors. Maybe then the concurrency will go up a little.
  8. I already have a body which has it's tattoo layer as a separate thing. Also, while BoM will work for some clothes, I think that a lot of people will want materials, so the clothing layer will prolly stay.
  9. I did, for awhile. Then I turned it off because my rusty old rig was starting to choke. A pity, really.
  10. I've had to yank up the height sliders on quite a few of my Kuroo-form avis (up to a point, the feet are not fitmesh so they start looking small once you're tall enough) out of fear of child avatar accusations (it's also a reason that I bought a chest for the Kemono). But these were ones with a more human face, thankfully people aren't nearly as inclined to assign a age to non-human avatars. Then again, I haven't wandered into a non-store Adult area recently.
  11. "Gee, I wish the Lindens would pay more attention to us." *LL does so* "OMG Favoritism!" Hey, I'm not too fond of Blueberry (I was disappointed with thier wings), but at least it's not C****. Anyways, maybe it's the 3 year neglect we had (which I left somewhere in the middle of), but I think it's nice that we get more acknowledgement. Then again, I have to remind myself that in about every MMO game the forumgoers are the Loud Minority.
  12. 30K? Are you joking? I've been doing my damndest to keep myself below 100k with a Kemono or Kuroo with what I've accumulated over the years. You think I can do 30k with a more mainstream body? This is exactly what I'm talking about here. I'm used to land prim limits because they've been there from the beginning. To suddenly slap on a ARC limit after so many years is just gonna drive people away.
  13. I do not like all this talk of a forced ARC limit. For one, WHOSE limits? You know damn well there's folk with a grudge against non-human avatars or a particular mesh body and will gladly try to shoehorn everybody else into a specific aesthetic if they can get away with it. Or there are people who will happily force people to dump items older than a certain arbitrarily set date because they think it's 'ugly', 'inefficient', or 'holding SL back'. You can do better with actual education than forcing it. Myself, I've deleted several old avatars for high complexity, and I am slowly getting new hairs to replace some sculpt complexity bombs. I think I've been doing pretty well so far. Thing is, there is no one magic solution to this. There's a lot of factors here, and to focus on just one thing ain't gonna cut it. Even so, I still think reminding people SL is still here should be enough.
  14. Yeah, I don't exactly miss prim-fitting, especially when you have a wide variety of avatars to slap them on. Which reminds me, I gotta go through all the jewelry that I've been finding on all those hunts (hats are okay though, you don't need to adjust those much). Mesh clothing (and avatars) were a bit of relief, even when there was standard sizing (there are fewer sliders below the neck). It was when I came back after about two years that I got culture shock. Somewhere along the line it became nearly mandatory to have a mesh body in order to have decent clothing (or even any clothes at all). It's a good thing that I bought a Kemono before my hiatus so I was able to adjust to such things as alpha cuts and appliers. Now this, Kuroo, and Geralt are a part of my repertoire. I'm not getting a Maitreya until after BoM.
  15. Why is it that nearly all the suggestions to breathe new life into SL end up boiling down to 'throw out the stuff I think is old'? As a scavenger and appreciator of the old, I find this rather disturbing. I don't appreciate being forced to toss stuff out because some hipster thought I should 'get with the times', and I know I'm not the only one that feels that way. Yes I do have mesh stuff, but that's more due to scrimping and saving than anything else. I mean, that's half the charm. The last time LL tried to make something new, we go Sansar, which isn't exactly thriving (and prolly never will as long as VR rigs are expensive, need large amounts of space, and induce vertigo, or for that matter as long as VRchat exists). What we may need to do is make it easier for new people to find stuff to do, like maybe give the search engine a tweak, or maybe just remind the rest of the world that we're still here and there's more than sex.
  16. I'll just leave this here (TvTropes warning) https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SingleIssueWonk
  17. I'm not getting a Lara until BoM's on Firestorm, because then I will relish wearing my KZK blue Renamon again. And I know I will have clothes for it.
  18. How do you make those dippy things in the first place? I'm running into those a bit more often than there are people that know unicode.
  19. Well, here's *a* old one, and when Kinzart came out with a blue Renamon (not long before my hiatus), I grabbed that too. Mind you, even back then, I kept changing my avatars as I grabbed new things, new clothes and new parts. Also, I'm more likely to be male than female.
  20. I'm starting to wonder if all male bodies go through a sort of 'Dad Casual' phase. Y'know, t-shirts and board shorts for days.
  21. There are quite a few avis I have that are still system because of the skin or shape (let's face it, you'd go broke getting a mesh body for every body type you want. I almost did when I got both the Geralt and Kuroo), or because I have not found a mesh equivalent of the current outfit. I'm still waiting on BoM for skins and tatts, but forget doing it on clothes. Also I'm trying to replace some of the complexity bomb hairs, but I might have to keep some because it's impossible to find moddable hair in this day and age, or a guy's hair that isn't half (Catwa only) applier, and I got some weird heads.
  22. Well, at least the hunt object is a huge hard to hide chest. Ever been on the Twisted Hunt. Within a few limits (such as within 20 meters of landing and a 10 decoy max), merchants are encouraged to be as devious as possible.
  23. Besides the chronic client lag (yes I need a new rig) and that good looking serpent stage, anyone else feel, well, meh? Or am I just getting too jaded? I used to want to hang out at one of the birthday exhibits, but I... I just don't know.
  24. About the only Bloodlines thing I got is War, which I bought because I was still a bit on a TF2 kick at the time and wanted a 'fight anywhere' thing. If I knew back then that this was the red-headed stepchild of the franchise....
