I'll weaponize my high heels to stab you!!! 😁 I find "social" ratings inherently unfair. I'm rather shy (or more to the point, quiet, except when I turn on the "chatterbox" mode with my friends). With rating systems, I feel obliged to interact with people when I don't really feel like it, and that's exhausting and discouraging. It also opens the door to rating harrassment, rating bartering, rating draaaamaaahhh (... popcorn anyone? We can watch together), etc. Not to mention the dopamine hit. There's so much of it already on internet, I frankly can't stand it any more. I've turned off notifications basically since they were created, but even so, there's always a small number in a red circle somewhere next to your name, or your comments, or or or... It's exhausting. I think this system is rather unhealthy on the whole, not just for me but for a lot of people.

Raindrop Drinkwater replied to bateliii's topic in General Discussion Forum
I like bloggers who shows both pros and cons of the items they're reviewing. Not just "it's cuuuuute! Squeeee!". For example, "fits great on Reborn, but the mesh is a bit loose on Maitreya", or "great texturing overall but I'm not keen on the butt crack shading". By the way, does anyone here remembers Salome Strangelove's blog (SL lifestyle or something like that)? Her skin reviews were excellent!- 19 replies

On the plus side, this necropost led me to Rick's post and the great resource he made available for free: Can't have enough alphas, right?

Looking at new head. Help me decide.
Raindrop Drinkwater replied to Eddy Vortex's topic in Your Avatar
Really nice eyebrows! They open up the face, and look very natural. I keep being surprised at how much of a difference such a small item makes. I agree with Emma, though, you need a hairbase. The poor toddler suffers from early pattern balding. -
I have a pre-mesh "grandma" avatar which I thought would be the perfect candidate for Erika. Well, kind of. The body is beautiful, and I'm happy with the shape I came up. If anything, she's a bit too toned in the thighs! A nice problem to have. I grabbed a demo of Lara to try and replicate this shape, and couldn't quite get there. Overall, I like this body better than Reborn. The lack of clothes however is a killer. I'm not going to spend hours hunting for clothes, especially not on a rarely used alt. We'll see if this body becomes more mainstream or if it remains in its uber-sexy niche. The dress is by Hilly Haalan, who has some items for Erika. The skin is Gretchen (from the Linden Library), and the head... Jamie. I'm so happy with the head, it's just about perfect. 😮

So, uh, where can we find this body? All the SLURLs I've been able to find lead to invalid locations. ETA: nvm, found it via Claudia Urdaneta's profile!

BENTO armature rigging bone with SecondLife

You don't need Avastar to use the avatar workbench files. It's a simple blend file. It can be opened in Blender 3.6.3. -

New Genus heads are out - what do you think?
Raindrop Drinkwater replied to Stephanie Misfit's topic in Your Avatar
Yes, typically it's best to put seams where they won't be too visible, at least on the face. Even with padding there's a chance the seam will be visible. Straight down the middle of the face is the LAST place I'd put it, especially as there's a lot of details in this area. Lelutka's mapping makes a lot more sense. -
I'm wearing a "standard" Harlow, the sale price was too good to pass up and it suits me perfectly. I actually have yet to play with the advanced version of the Harlow head. I also have an Alexis (and a Logan on my mAlt)... it's going to be a tough choice between Alexis and Harlow, once they're both EvoX-enabled! I'm especially happy to hear about the improvement to the skull and the better consistency. Some hairbases look way off on Logan, for example, so even if I stick to a standard skin after the update (... yeah as if), this is good.

Playing with cars

If it were a car rather than a bike, that'd be the perfect picture for Billie Eilish's Bellyache! -

No matter what i do, my avatars always look like this...
Raindrop Drinkwater replied to Aimaline's topic in Your Avatar
Assuming she owns the parcel, yes, she could do that. Others would see the same lighting... assuming they used the "Shared Environment" setting. Otherwise they'll still see their personal lighting.
