And since my computer room has become a matter of discussion, here's a pic of a bit of it. In all it's glory LOL. The printed pics on the right are of my "Toy" AV, which was for a project I never had a chance to finish. 

Organised chaos, and I have some of that for sure right here where I'm sitting at my living room table. I always seem to be crawling about at the back of something electronic plugging wires in and out. Switch boxes are very useful. 

Peeve: That I can't easily dispose of an old style monitor so it's cluttering up a corner.

Peeve: I don't have a computer room, on the plus side though I have a laptop so I don't really need one.  Still, it would be pretty nice to have a room just for computers, one computer to locally host GPT,  another for  image generation, one for OpenSim, then I could have a section for retro computers, and then just one for general use such as web surfing and playing games with.  I guess I would like to add yet another though, to stream movies and games from.

I find myself in need of more computers to do all of the things I want to do, and a room to put them all in.  Still, I am pretty happy with what this old computer can accomplish, even though it is a bit slow at it.

I don't have a computer room either, but I tend to call the back bedroom at my brother's house the computer room, because that's where I escape to some of the time when I'm there. My brother calls it something less cool - the granny flat - but really it's just the room where everything gets chucked, so it should really be called the junk room. 

I've seen some pretty nice set-ups, with multiple screens and devices with whirring fans that sound like they are about to take off. I get scared with loud noises, can't even use a cooker hood because of it. Mission control would be wasted on me. I like things simple. On. Off. Up. Down. Left. Right.

I loved seeing when people would mess up in those zoom meetings and forget things they had in the background..

One guy got so comfy that he started smoking weed during a zoom meeting.. hehehe

That didn't end well for him..

Now I can't stop thinking about that bloke on the news who used a filter at the wrong moment.

 

 

[The Metaverse Is The Worst Thing Ever Made]

I can think of plenty more things that are worse than the metaverse, but all are weapons of destruction when in the wrong hands.

Peeve: Assuming "knowing what someone's computer room looks like" is code for "we spoke on webcam".

Ewww..TMI!

(Why "Ewwww"? If all you did was "speak" on webcam, then there's no need for a euphemism such as "know what my computer room looks like".)

I didn't at all read his statement like that. I've seen a couple of people's computer rooms who are on these forums, both males, and there was no webcam or voice involved in either situation. (Am I doing it all wrong?)

But then when my old boyfriend used to suggest Netflix and chill, I really thought that was what he wanted, and we did actually watch an episode or two of Dirk Gently every time he came over! (But we also had sex. Ewwww TMI tee hee hee).

Peeve: Forgetting what I was peeved about, but still being peeved.

That's just gonna drive me up a wall until it comes back to me.

I'm peeved about time. I took a three day weekend, which is extremely rare for me, and I can't account for it. I have spent hardly any time in world, so I can't blame it on that. I have a pile of books and magazines unread, which I planned to at least have a skim through.

Where has time gone?

I first thought the forums were an extension of inworld RP, but I realized they are not that. I've met a few people from here. Only one person was different. They were nice here, and horrible inworld.  

I'm exactly the same here as I am inworld, except I might be female sometimes.

That would be me. I am "Marmite" on the forums, but am only ok in very small doses inworld. 

People might say you're weird. We're ALL flippin' well weird to everybody who doesn't 'get' Second Life. We just have to - like Rolig says - find people who are the same kind as weird as us. 

It takes all sorts to make a world. 

At least here on the forums we can have our little disagreements, go off to our corners, and come back after a little bit of thinking time, reason things out. In world it's a bit more instant, less chance to edit and to think, and situations can get blown up out of all proportion far more easily.

[​😁​ What is the funniest thing you have seen in Second Life?]

When I think of the funniest things I have seen in SL two things come to mind,

The first involved an ex RP romantic interest and a prank someone played on him, I was involved in the prank but didn't initiate it, The prank itself wasn't all that funny but his reaction was.

The prankster sent him an IM in SL claiming to be from the IRS and telling him he was going to be audited. He got very upset over this, blocked me and the prankster, apparently he actually thought that the IRS might actually use SL to notify him of an audit, He must have been hiding something.

The second event is more fun. A friend of mine put lots of copies of a mannequins on a platform way up in the sky, set them all to physical, then deleted the platform causing the mannequins to fall in a mannequin rain storm. You all know this person, our own @Marigold Devin

That was very definitely a "you had to be there moment" - I was lucky not to be banned from the region hahaha. 

I was once banned from someone's land - a friend of a friend - but not before I rezzed "pooping pigeons" that I bought from the Marketplace. I laughed at how the land owner was trying so hard to catch these pigeons, when all he needed to do - he found out later - was find my name against the list of objects and with just one click, they would all have been gone.

Always add to outfit, never wear.

Very sound advice. Just yesterday, this 16 year old oldbie selected "wear" for a fork and my top was removed exposing my hollow interior!  

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

Peeve: That I've lost some really good friends over the years - in real and in Second Life - because of my mood swings (mental health issues). 

I am still a work in progress.

Yes, I could not find an innocent victim so Sandor will have to do:

One thing:  can I make him stay unconscious longer???  /me examines the script.....

I wish I could record my real life self laughing, because I am. This has made my day. (Sorry Sandor - and thank you to both for playing the game.)

Edited to add: How was it for you, Sandor?

OMG, how sweet are you?  Thank you so much; now I will be hunting some innocent victim to succumb to my evil wiles.........  🤗

Go see if Sandor's up for it  Works on girls as well as boys (obviously) and if I was logged in I would let you practice on me. Tee hee.

I once saw a football match taking place on a sky platform, with two proper teams and a referee. It was most impressive. At the end of the game, the manager of one team took all his clothes off, streaked across the pitch, and then started to dry hump his players, who all took it in good fun.

Giant snail racing was always hilarious, but I had to give it up because it gave me migraines and "motion" sickness!

Someone was trying to sell their parcel of land I think.

LOLOL, I had NEVER heard of that before, too funny.  I found it on the MP as Kiss Me Deadly and put it on my favorites list.

Well, you'd better get yourself logged in and go and practice on your friends - its on its way to you.

In Second Life, you may see terrible things. 

- Things that make you question Right from Wrong.

- Things that make you question the nature of Reality.

- Things that make you question "Man's Humanity to Man".

Don't worry! None of it is real!

... but there is the option to click on "Help" at the top of the screen and "Report Abuse", then leave it up to the Linden gods to deal with it and get on with your SLife.

If I  get a TP request from someone I  either don't know or don't know well, I will first do a quick search to see what sort of  place it is. If it's a sex related sim, I'll ignore the request altogether. If it is a private residence I'll politely say no - well,  you wouldn't  go home with a man you had never seen before in RL, would you? Anything else and I'll probably keep the conversation going for a while and try and judge what sort of person I'm talking to. 

No I absolutely would not, but I'm in Second Life not real life, and look at me now, talking to yet another stranger - you! 

In turn I have got my revenge on those nasty men/boys who have attempted to take me to somewhere not quite to my taste, and I have sent them a teleport request to meet me, but have teleported directly the moment I have seen them arrive ... in a skybox full of bots. 

Or I've used a Kiss Me Dead HUD which has rendered their avatar temporarily dead on the ground for 30 seconds, and oh that has been such fun. 

The things I can do in Second Life that I can't and would never do in real life is very liberating.

Peeve: Fireworks being set off in the street in September. 

[How Does Your SL Look Today?]

I was looking through some photos yesterday, trying to find funny ones for another thread, but then had a small idea to return to the same location and do a then and now comparison.

When I owned a small parcel of mainland on this region in 2008, exactly 15 years ago, there were not even any roads or trees, so I built my home and the shop next door to it on a raised foundation, knowing that one day pipework, hardcore, and then tarmac would be put in eventually by the Linden Department of Works.
