A forum exchange poster, if you would... (actually, I've been scarce over at vvo for months too...)

It's a really awesome tattoo -WTG!

Literally years -yes! I hope you've been doing alright and it's great seeing you here too 😎

"And harm ye none" is fake, and was concieved to make "do what thou wilt" more politically correct. Given that Crowley was a rapist, a wife-beater and a drug addict that's probably not a bad thing; but it is still fake none-the-less.

I'm a lazy-ass witch. I visualize, I go to hotspots and make offerings to the moon. Beyond that -I let go and let Goddess. Experience has taught me that's for the best. But best of luck to you!

I gave up on slink (I prefer Tonic); but I'm pretty sure I used catwa's catya head with physique when I did use it.

I've had years-long friends tell me they were surprised to find out I'm amab[1], I've met other people who I've just met that have told me "it was obvious". By and large I haven't worried about it except when I went to do xxx stuff -then I kept myself to the "sh-----le" part of SL so I wouldn't feel like I was being dishonest or have conversations I didn't want to have. Speaking of slex, that leads right to one of my pet peeves: people who silently throw me around like a rag doll. If I wanted to play with NPCs, I'd be in opensim. [1]assigned male at birth, or a gIRL(guy in real life) depending on how harshly you wish to put it.

Thank you! That's actually very reassuring 😍 Here's one I think is a little bit better...or at least more socially acceptable 😊

SL didn't make me gay ...but it probably had a great influence on my becoming/realizing I'm trans... 🥶

People on alts often don't put a lot of effort into changing their grammer, favorite turns of phrase, etc. At least I don't -but then again the folks I hang out with know who all my alts are so it'd be kinda stupid 😛

Just here to drop a (sadly generic) selfie on y'all

I mean, I suppose I could type out more words, but to tell the truth the appropriate response to relativistic both-siderism can be boiled down to just two words. Sadly, we're not allowed to write that specific two word combination on this forum.

'Cept it's really not tho

No, obviously. I mean, what kind of obnoxious, annoying orange narcissist would you have to be to say "yes, I am absolutely enthralling to watch"?

vmware is a possible solution; but if your computer is old enough to need XP it's probably not a viable solution. Still, on some CPUs etc it can run the SL viewer (on medium or high graphics, I forget which). I made my first account (now an alt) in 2005, this account in 2008; but only really got into the game in nov 2009.

:qft: Also, i think HIPPA compliance would be another consideration (which, as far as I'm aware of, is essentially impossible in SL).

I originally joined in 2005, and wound up cancelling after seeing my mentor get stalked and creeped on. So ...yeah....

I figured they'd end up closing eventually -but not this soon and not like this. I was pretty surprised to hear this. BTW, there's always Dreamworldz for @Phorumities and others when SL closes. But hopefully a practical next-gen platform will emerge between now and then (Sansar and High Fidelity are not it, IMO!)

It was worth what I paid for it; in terms of the productivity boost it provides it's worth the full price. But as you said -it's on sale frequently enough that one can wait for a sale to come around. I suspect that when version 7 comes out it'll be a bit of a wait for the next sale -but who knows?

Got it in one, Fluffy. They had a sale a month-ish ago and I picked up a copy of version 6 (version 7 is about to be released). I'm having a blast with it, remaking some old builds with **my own** textures, instead of someone elses'. The great, wonderful thing about it is that it gives you a base template to work from, that you can do nearly anything with, and that according to their TOS what you render with their program is legally yours (as ChinRey alluded to). Here's a couple of links from their forum that addresses legal usage of filter forge textures; https://www.filterforge.com/forum/read.php?TID=11328&MID=120040 https://filterforge.com/forum/read.php?TID=10655&MID=115283 It's not just a library of textures -tho it's that, too. But they're a base, which you can adjust different parameters to make something that is uniquely your own. For people who can't draw (**raises hand**) it's a life saver.

Counting SL families? I have roughly six or seven places around SL where I can "set home to here". But my main home is on the mainland where I started SL back in 2005 and have lived since 2011: Funadama. Unfortunately I can't share pictures because I'm in the early stages of rebuilding/re-conceptualizing (ie deciding what I want to do with the space) there. In the next few days I'll probably end up returning everything and start doing something else. ;____; I also have a couple of parcels in Neufreistadt which I'm holding on to in case of (financial) emergencies.

So I have a crummy asus desktop I'm trying to turn into something useable. It has an AMD A8 APU with a built-in Radeon 7000-something GPU. I also have an Nvidia 430/1g card. Right now I'm using the APU. I have bumped up the "uma frame buffer size" to 2G since I have extra ram. I'm not sure/can't tell if this is helping anything or not. I can wander around semi-comfortably using a Singularity alpha with ALM enabled and DOF -FPS is around 20, 21. Turning on shadows kills it, though, and drops my framerate down to the single digits. I'm suspecting this means the framebuffer increase isn't helping -but I'd like feedback and suggestions. I can get in on either card, but I have to have ALM etc turned off if I want decent framerates. [edit]Right now I'm using windows 10 creators' update, and I've downloaded and installed the radeon drivers from AMD.

Poor kitty! I'm sorry you'll be gone and that you've been sick. I'm going to try to make it, altho I almost always forget these kinds of things and make maybe the last five minutes >.>

>first saw that as Bay City Nights ...I've been in SL too long. ;______;

;____; Cooltext makes better signs that I can from just slapping free fonts on layers in gimp. ;_____;
