I have a Lenovo Legion 5 notebook. Purchased when my desktop computer stopped working. When SL is in low graphics mode the notebook runs silent but if I turn up graphics the fans turn on. It's been running so nicely that I am not too concerned about getting a desktop again.

Forget addiction. I want to know what Second Life really secretes. Secrete verb (1) se·crete si-ˈkrēt transitive verb : to form and give off (a secretion) 🤤

I always open my notebook from the top center of the screen. It always feels a little bendy when I try lifting from the corner. I had a carbon fiber notebook at work a few years ago and it felt a lot less bendy. It was light and felt safe to open from any position. Another tip is to not drop your bag to the ground if you have a laptop in it. I put a nice dent into the corner of a notebook that way. Still worked though.

ChatGPT Second Life is often categorized as a virtual world rather than a game, although it can incorporate elements of gaming. In Second Life, users can create and customize avatars, interact with other users, build and design virtual environments, buy and sell virtual goods, attend events, participate in activities, and much more. Unlike traditional video games, Second Life does not have a specific set of objectives or goals imposed on users. Instead, it provides a platform for socializing, creativity, and exploration. Some users engage in activities within Second Life that resemble gaming, such as role-playing, racing, or exploring virtual landscapes, but the overall experience is more open-ended and user-driven than that of a typical game.

I guess we have nothing to worry about fellow residents. Second Life is not a video game.

The kind of music I like in SL are the ones presented as a live performance with the singer as an avatar and playing a single instrument. It feels more immersive. Music played in clubs are just piped in music that I can hear on the internet. There was a song that used to be in many clubs that I liked but I never figured out what it was or rather I never searched for the name.

I think selling Tillia to Thunes and then using Thunes as a global payment processor will remove monetary roadblocks that stop LL from appealing to people outside of the US. If LL wanted to advertise themselves to people in other countries this would be a good time. There is a 5 year agreement where Thunes and LL work together to make this new payment processing look good to prospective clients so there's incentive to not make things worse for SL residents. LL might still have non-controlling shares in Tillia and that could guarantee continued goodwill and favorable terms after the agreement ends. I'm speculating. I'm sure bad things could be speculated as well. Only time will tell.

My initial take is that this might help people outside the US with payments into SL and it might help bring a larger group of people in from around the globe. LL itself is not being sold but is selling Tillia. Our happy little world remains. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidprosser/2021/11/12/how-thunes-is-building-a-new-payments-system-for-the-world/

The Oculus Quest is technically the Meta Quest 1. I haven't used it play SL VR since my desktop computer died. SL VR isn't very dizzying if you are in 3rd person view. Our avatars look different in VR than how they look on a 2D screen. The connection goes like so: Quest headset w/ Quest OS -> PC w/ Rift OS -> Steam VR OS -> Firestorm VR Here's my old post. The method to connect has probably changed and hopefully has gotten better.

You can't show a group of ten possible prizes and then reward people with one of those prizes chosen randomly. Which is what a gacha does. As long as people know what they get with their purchase then it should be fine.

They may be in a coalesced object located in some other inventory folder such as the objects folder. If they were linked for some reason they may appear as a single object with the name of the last object linked. Might also want to check the 'recent items' folder to see what new objects were recently added to the inventory folder. Drag these new objects out in a sandbox to see if they are the actual objects or something else.
