  1. Probably overkill, but I've been using Kray-5 Security System from NeuroLAB, Inc. for a couple of years. Deployable on multiple parcels with a relay, wide range, option for multiple owners/managers, and has a remote management HUD. You can have visitor counters and logs (visits, intrusions, ejections) emailed to you. There are a lot of other features. Although it's around L$2k.
  2. I decided to put my RL niece's birthday in; February 9th. This was on that day, in 2014. Absolutely stunning. "Monkey Head Nebula: This image reveals carved knots of gas and dust in a small portion of the Monkey Head Nebula. The nebula is a star-forming region that hosts dusky dust clouds silhouetted against glowing gas."
  3. On April 5 in 2008: Galactic Center "This infrared image of the center of our Milky Way galaxy reveals a population of massive stars and complex structures in the hot ionized gas that swirls around the galactic core." I've been a space nerd since childhood, years before I became a Trekkie. So this just makes me all giddy.
  4. April 5th marks what is known by fans of Star Trek as "First Contact Day". As in Star Trek lore, Humans and Vulcans make contact for the first time on April 5th 2063. Who knows what wondrous things may actually happen on that date, and hopefully I'll be still around to see what happens, if anything. But it's also my RL birthday. Live long, prosper, and stay safe in this strange new world that we're living in right now.
  5. Stumbled across this almost exactly a year ago, had it on repeat while just chilling in my yacht--keeping an eye on the Bellisseria coming together, waiting for it to open up. It's scary, how seemingly fast time has gone.
  6. Only one, in both; RL blended with SL, and ended in RL. Dating isn't really a thing for us Demisexuals, and it's common for many to only have maybe one or two long-term relationships in a lifetime. In the meantime, I'm happily focusing on myself.
  7. Had some experience with MU Online, Guild Wars, and one fighter jet/sci-fi/anime MMO that I forget the name of now.
  8. I can't say how it may affect my general spending--other than that I may have to be more frugal in SL, than I have previously been. I only have a LH on Belli, no owned or rented land outside of it. But it's one of the reasons why I decided to take advantage of the discount for advanced prepayment/renewal a month or so ago. I have until 20/06/2021 to see how things go with the £.
  9. Yes--and for the same reasons. In fact, when I first joined and ran the LL viewer (we're talking 1.19), I don't think the mini map was open for me straight away. I was a little annoyed/confused at first, since I had been used to having one from playing video games--until I figured out the keyboard shortcut.
  10. I think my New Years Resolution will be 11520x2160. Because I've been rocking 5760x1080 for too long.
  11. I don't have any preferred pronouns in RL or SL, and I identify as non-binary IRL. People will use whichever they feel makes sense, and I'm okay with that. I've had people use both female and male pronouns IRL too--depending on how I've presented myself, and having a somewhat "androgynous" voice. Whether jokingly, or seriously, I cannot be certain, because my ASD gets in the way of interpreting things. I take things literally, and don't get "jokes", 75% of the time. In either case, I'm not fazed.
  12. I'm not. I abandoned around four houseboats before settling in the most NW point for awhile. Until Squishy Pickle was opened. I moved over, abandoning two there before settling on where I am currently (Sirinial).
  13. I think one of the most powerful tools has typically been "word of mouth", and that's how I heard of it. Probably around 2004, through a friend. They frequented SL with someone else they knew, back then. Eventually, they just stopped bothering. If I recall, back then, it cost to teleport from Telehub to Telehub, and that was one of a few things they found to be off-putting. I didn't have an internet connection at the time. Time jump to around mid 2007, I was in an LDR, and used to play Guild Wars--wasn't particularly my thing, but it was something that "we" could do at the time. After awhile, and a bit of brainstorming to bridge things a bit better, I remembered SL. So this avi was born on January 31st 2008. There was a hiatus between 2014-2017, for one or two reasons. Barely see ads for SL these days. I've seen Sansar get pushed a lot on FB, various other sites--and of course, anything related to Star Trek. It seems, since its launch, there's a Sansar booth every year at Star Trek Las Vegas (not that I've ever been able to attend).
  14. I can't remember my first home in SL. For one reason or another, I moved around a lot between 2008-2012, never staying in one place for too long. But also, I make it a personal rule not to visit or check out old rentals/homes that I may remember. Although after only becoming a premium member last year, I do find myself opening the map to see what's become of plots I may have owned/sold. It's oddly saddening if/when I see them reduced to nothing but abandoned land, and I can't figure out exactly why. With that said, I didn't have a LH until Bellisseria. I'd often make the trip in a yacht to Salt Breeze or Whitecap, and was there when the gates opened. Settled and held onto a houseboat, until Squishy Pickle was released. I remember one or two I abandoned in the SW, along with my old Houseboat in the NW--just because the names are so catchy. But again, I make it a rule to not go snooping...only ocassionally passing them if I'm in the area.
  15. Terms such as introversion and extroversion weren't part of my vocabulary until some years ago, after a RL/SL relationship broke down, and I had to "find" myself. But I am an introvert (similarly forced to be an extrovert), and do have a formal Dx of Asperger's (2014)--it's through Torley Linden's video on the topic that I came to the conclusion, and decided to seek an assessment. So SL, for a long time, was a testbed for social interaction/skills. Although, after a hiatus, and I've been back since 2017--I'm about as introverted in SL now, as I am IRL. I keep myself to myself, but I don't intentionally ignore people either. What annoys slightly me, though, is how misunderstood introversion is. In facebook groups, I've seen a lot of people who think that some traumatic event or upbringing made them an introvert. Also, often mistakingly conflated with shyness. It's neurological--you're either born an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert (that weird middle ground). While on the topic of personality types. I discovered MBTI along the road/journey of self-discovery. Although the validity and usefulness is debatable, I'm supposedly an INTJ.
