I'm not in SL much these days, because as goofy, clumsy, and silly as our prim-based Second Life once was, there was an innocence and lightheartedness to it that felt like the rays of the sun hitting your heart once in a while. I still can't forget Bingoland Park, and don't think I ever will. (I swear I made a post about it on my old blog, somewhere, but I can't find it atm.) Avatars came together to this lovely park by the railroad to play Bingo, and you were rewarded with some $Lindens if you won, but people came together for the joy of it. I really miss Bingo and don't care for the Bingo machines at all... ...Or people striking up a conversation with you regardless of what your avatar looked like. People were much more eager to engage in chat, I feel. Now, most show off their expensive avatars, and I feel that unless I impress someone with an up-to-date avatar, I'm ignored. I just miss something about the Second Life of old. Am I alone? Or am I being arrogant?

SL is what got me into the Silver Screen (those ultra-cozy films of 40s-60s). For some reason, watching them through Second Life makes them an extra yummy comfort food. Am I the only one? If not, I'd love to start a group where we'd meet up once a week to watch a movie together and then maybe discuss it afterwards!

Sam1, I appreciate your answer. Thank you! (Btw, I think some of these gaming systems are more expensive down the line than others. I like the KittyCatS one because the kitties are cheap to buy at yard sales and I only need to buy food every two weeks or so.) 😃

I'm curious about the game and haven't yet started playing. Does it require a high upkeep/membership fees/whatever Lindens are required? I don't want to start and then discover I can't advance without spending thousands of lindens

I work with wildlife, particularly birds

Nearly every community on the internet has its own podcast, or two, or three. I'm surprised that Second Life doesn't have its own podcast or two. No SL gossip podcast? No exploration of SL's most amazing places podcast? No interviews with the creators of such places? Is it because SL, as a medium, doesn't lend itself well to podcasting?

Do garage sales still exist?
Nimue Galatea replied to Nimue Galatea's topic in General Discussion Forum
It worked, thanks LittleMe! P.S.: I've been away for a while and heard that gacha is no longer legal. Is that true? -
I'm in SL for nearly two decades and kinda liked going to garage sales I'd find in Events and Places. People clearing out inventory, or leaving the game. I can't find them by searching for "garage sales". Have they been made illegal?

Ooh, just found this. Is this still ongoing?

My favorite place to play Mahjong doesn't have it anymore, for some reason. It's a version of Mahjong that had a few buttons on the sides, including Hint, Reset, Highlight, etc. There was also a counter with a score. Alongside this, we had a large scoreboard with the top 10 past winners. I've gone to place after place looking for this version of mahjong, but the only one I can find is the version that has the tiles only, and resets after a certain timeout. That's it. Does anyone know where I can find my beloved version, with a scoreboard, even?

This may be a long shot, but the only employment I'm seeking is to tend to a large farm of plants. Well, perhaps for a little coin. I don't use DFS or anything like it myself, though I used to. I just love tending farms, even if it's virtual, and I think that owners of large farms could use help tending. I passed an enormous farm yesterday, with most of the trees, bushes, plants, etc needing to be worked on. I've been in SL since 2004 and have never been banned from any place. I could get a reference from an organization in SL, if needed. (if anyone's not sure whether to trust me with their hard work.

Looking for more stories like this
Nimue Galatea replied to Nimue Galatea's topic in General Discussion Forum
Thanks. I've seen it already, though. -
I've got a blog and am dying to discover more stories akin to what I read in this New World Notes blogpost: If you have any such stories, please let me know or post here. Anything that cuts to the heart of what SL means to people that may be feeling trapped in their 1st lives. Thank you.

Water suddenly appears "blocky". This doesn't go away upon logging out. Why?
Nimue Galatea replied to Nimue Galatea's question in Technical
It's Catznip, but same settings. Thank you, ChinRey! It worked! -
Yes, I am scared. Fear is a natural response to something like this. Thing is, I'm not scared for myself. My spidey senses are developed enough to let me know that I will be alright, both health-wise and in other ways. It's other people I'm frightened for. I am frightened that with humanity's destruction of nature, these pandemics will become more frequent. I'm frightened that these are the beginning stages of civilization collapse. Though I've mentally prepared myself for this, years ago, and my intuition told me to be on guard, the grief that comes with the disintegration of normalcy is hard. It's hard to process this grief alone. We need to have support groups for this grief. I'm frightened for the country I live in, which is the USA. Our postal service may permanently shut down in June. I'm scared and sad for all the insanities of this country that will be brought to the surface. I'm scared for all the people hanging by a thread, to begin with. My heart is breaking.

My new viewer has been creating a monstrosity out of my beautiful bento head
Nimue Galatea replied to Nimue Galatea's question in Viewers
Yes, this is actually the new, updated head! -
*prepare to be disturbed by the snapshot* I wear a Vista Diana head, and it's really lovely. Yesterday this zombie-like ugliness happened (see snapshot). Why? I've been having all sorts of problems in-world ever since uninstalling Firestorm so I could try other alternative viewers, settling on Alchemy. This is one of them.
