Slink's new BoM mesh heads are kinda amazing. Also part of the "Redux" line, but they're separate from the bodies.
Any sort of system layer makeup and imperfections (Izzie's, for example) work great with them.

I was looking for one thing, and one thing only, and I had a very specific type that I was looking for. That type isn't found at the free adult places. That sounds snobby, but... there it is. The higher the membership fee, the more likely an avatar is to be well put together, updated, attractive, and capable. There are incredible, amazing, lovely, intelligent, funny, fabulous people for whom having an updated avatar just isn't a priority, and that's awesome, but that wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted the visual titillation along with the ability to string words together in an erotic manner at a level much higher than the standard doofus you find wandering around the free places in a naked standard body with an enormously out of proportion, mismatched, discolored freenis.
I mean, you say that, but having a nice-looking avatar and lots of disposable income isn't even remotely a guarantee for having the gift of words. If anything I find that the best writers are the most likely to wear bad avatars. It feels like the two rarely overlap... people tend to be either visual or verbal creatures, in my experience. (and the rare unicorns are usually found by chance, never when you're actively looking for them)

If anything, it seems to run better for me. Not as well as some other viewers, but better. It might just be people switching to BoM avatars though, getting rid of laggy onion bodies, rather than because of the viewer itself.

Really, any kind of conversation is fine! As long as it's not based entirely on gesture spam or extremely thirsty and nothing but!

Hello, dear SL.
I'm a furry about 99% of the time, but I've decided to explore the other side of SL a little in my fancy new skinsuit. Now, the problem is that I can't find any even relatively decent places to hang out at! The problem is that most are... just gesture spam, or just sex. I'm fine with adult activity, but ideally a lounge or club should be more than just naked people and poseballs, right? Plus being able to have relatively smart conversations with people is a must.
I've just not been able to find any, and the ones I've been recommended in-world have exorbitant join fees (between 1000 and 2500 lindens... to join a club? what. That's completely unheard of on the furry end of things. The people are the content!)
So, any and all recommendations welcome.

It seems I wrote a post and forgot to hit the submit button at some point...
I wonder if a person's preference has anything to do with introversion/extroversion? I'm honestly just not all that comfortable talking in local chat unless I'm with people I'm really comfortable with.
Almost certainly, but although I'm very introverted in real life, it's all flipped in virtual worlds. I'm a social butterfly and don't mind talking to anyone, or dozens of people at once... As long as it's one conversation, and not a dozen individual ones.

I'm actually surprised by the general sentiments in this topic, almost everyone I meet in SL is in like... their 20s. I actually feel old at 32. I'm almost always the oldest in the room, including in the human places I've visited!
If anything I'd say it's extremely rare to meet anyone older than millennials.
-
Definitely prefer local in general, I like it when everyone can talk just like they might in real life, dropping in and our of conversations. IMs don't bother me as per se, but they do bother me if I'm already chatting away in local and then someone in the same room goes like "hi how are you" in IMs, expecting me to pay attention to separate one on one conversation.

I think SLink is the only one that doesn't give you an option with their new Redux update. Which tells me, that they are not gonna do well.
Oh, did TMP release a version without layers already?

Just now, halebore Aeon said:
I don't think creators will get rid of onion layers all together, there are still gonna be people who want to use appliers. You can't get rid of appliers and expect people to be happy. People will still want choice.
It'd be simple enough to have the layers as a separate attachment. Or just have two versions of the body, one with and one without. But both options need to be there.

I'd have to imagine that they're working on a version without onion layers/appliers. At least I hope they are, unless they want to fade into obscurity very quickly.
Once that happens I'll actually put my money where my mouth is and buy it.

Socialising with tons of nerds, and on top of that, socialising with them as what I want to be but didn't get in the real life meat lottery. It's just my social space, where I happily talk with everyone, unlike real life where I'm rather shy.

I suspect it's less about the the view itself (plenty of places to see naked people in SL), and more about non-consensual voyeurism.
I asked, once.
They just want to see boobs but are too lazy to move. At least that one did.

So, I've wondered about this. You can derender someone's attachments? Presumably by right clicking on them? Isn't it in some way obvious that you are doing so?
I've never tested it myself because . . . meh. Why would I? But I'm curious now.
It is useful for attachments that are enormous, annoying or just plain griefy. Useful, but SL being SL, most seem to use it to remove your clothes instead.
Nobody but the user knows it's done since it's all client-side, like blocking someone.

This is definitely not a friendly act. We had a griefer recently at Caledon Oxbridge University who was running around taking naked pictures of avatars and sending them to those avatars, and to staff members, trying to get them upset and/or in trouble.
On your own land, you can protect yourself against people camming in from outside your parcel to see you. In About Land, Options tab, uncheck the box that says "Avatars outside this parcel can see/hear avatars inside the parcel".
I'm not sure how these people are going about stripping our clothes off (on their viewer; we appear normal elsewhere). I've been experimenting with Rendering Types, and trying to find some sort of HUD on the Marketplace that will do this, but haven't yet come up with anything that really looks like the answer.
Individual attachments can be derendered. Decent way to counter that is wearing BoM underwear, which can't be.

From what I remember, the policy for mature land is that both nudity and more explicit stuff is perfectly okay "behind closed doors", I.e if you make sure nobody will accidentally see it. For mainland this is generally taken to mean behind solid walls with no way to see the "offensive" material through a window or whatnot, as well as restricting access to strangers (by, for example, locking your doors - banlines aren't necessary).

Okay :). Maybe it is. Let's not pick sides, let's not decide whether something is empty or not, we're all Mainlanders right?
There's not really much of a side to pick; the linden home sims are definitely packed with prims.

This body doesn't have BoM yet. At least the demo doesn't.

So how do you navigate the store? I went to try a demo but was dumped in a white room with several other people. I got two IM's while there asking me where the body was. One of them had found the shapes but not the body. I never got out of the first room
I did see the big sign saying click here to start but nothing started.
The TMP store sure is an adventure. It's practically part of the SL legendarium at this point for how difficult it is to use.
The idea is that you accept the experience that should pop up after clicking the sign, which makes it a little easier. If that doesn't pop up they're probably experiencing troubles.
(you can also cam around until you find the vendors - or just get the demo from marketplace, which is faaaaar preferrable)

Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum come to mind. Perhaps the current premium level package could be called Silver, with the upcoming package being called Gold. That would leave Bronze available for a more basic package, and Platinum for a top level package.
Since it's a gut feeling thread, I actually don't like this kind of grading. I mean, it makes anything below the top level less attractive to me. I suppose because it takes my mind to jewellery or medals... Bronze isn't very desirable when you could have gold. (so a user might think, "well, I can't afford platinum, no point in getting the lesser variants").
I feel like it's important to make all tiers shiny and desirable. Premium Plus, Premium Light, Premium Deluxe all work better for me, since those add more without making the original less appealing.

I know one use for alpha cuts: Assymetric sleeves. One arm bare, the other not. I have a one shoulder top from COCO that I can't use with Slink Redux.
The Slink Redux - if you own the bundle - comes with an item called the Asymmetry Harness, which allows for the asymmetrical kind of things!

Let me tell you about my gacha peeves. I'm not the biggest fan of gachas to begin with, but there are some very effective ways of making sure that I definitely don't play yours.
1) Trash prizes. Every single item in your thing should be desirable, at least to someone. So if it's like "hey there's 7 good items and 7 random junk that I found in my inventory" I'm not going to play it because I don't want the latter, ever, even as freebies.
2) Mixed colors in one machine. Particularly if it's an outfit gacha. Imagine that you have a 10-piece set, but each one comes in five different colors. So even if I'm lucky enough to hit each prize, one by one, I'm still going to end up with a mismatched outfit barring absolutely grotesque numbers of plays.
3) Ultra rare items. Ah, so just the rare with a ~5% win chance wasn't enough, we're doing ultra rares with a ~1% chance too? Yeah, I'm not going to even try, especially if you don't tell me exactly how rare it is.
4) Too much variance in items. How many people are looking for both a kitchen sink, a washing machine and an outdoors sofa? I'm not! I just want the kitchen sink!
5) Expensive spins. I'm sorry, there's only so much I'm willing to pay for a random item that might not be what I want, and that cost is way below $L100.
Actually just sell me the full sets. Please.

Okay, so I have to wear a system skin. Any applier skin won't work. I can't keep wearing the pre-installed Maitreya mesh body one, because system- & BOM layers won't show up on that one. Did I get that right?
Gawd, I swear this is so confusing. Sorry if I might sound like a dork. 🙈You can't, unless you're using the Maitreya that hasn't been BoM-enabled yet (i.e. you've not used the relay that they sent out!)
It's less confusing than it seems! For a BoM body, you have to wear a system skin (a skin item in your inventory). Almost certainly when Maitreya does a proper update, they'll release system versions of the formerly pre-installed skins.

Extra life. But if that's too video-gamey, then Premium Plus seems like the most fitting title.

SL's most exclusive club

From what I remember the pricey clubs (at least the ones that I'm familiar with, for example the one with the initials TL) don't actually have rules against vampires and furries. It's just that furries don't have the culture of paying for clubs. Every single furry-specific one is free, no matter how fancy the build.
