    That is a good thing. Politics are officially declared unwanted here many moons ago.

    But Firestorm is not the snake oil solution for everything. It has it's issues too, more than once. It is a bit strange if someone says they have a problem with the engine of their Ford, to give as the solution: "Buy a Toyota".

    You must be a true believer, if you think Firestorm is the snake oil solution for every issue that is SL related.

    IMHO mentors should be there for the first steps in SL, like avoiding getting a box on your head, teleporting, understanding what L$ are, where to get them, how to sit and stand, that kind of stuff: The basics. Then the rest is up to the social environment that the newb embeds into. Mentors should not be life long assistants and or influencers IMHO.

    A lot of merchants work weeks ahead of time. I for instance already started for the Valentines shop and hop, just in case my entry will be accepted. If the boxing is done, the pictures and posters made, the vendors loaded, it is an awful lot of extra work to just change a name, if one finds out that competition comes a few days earlier than you with a similar name on a similar product (a head in this case). It would take hours and hours of extra work to rename, rebox, refill the vendors, make new posters, just to rename a head from Noel to Rudolph or so. I can totally understand that the creator behind the Logo heads left it untouched.

    These things happen. The names are quite obvious for a Christmas gift release. Just like Valentine or Valentino for Valentines day. Plus, there is that proverb about that gifted horse right? So I would get the head if I liked it, same name or not.

    Don't expect too much from SL or the forums. That helps a lot.

    Well, tell us what was in the box?

    The forums aren't that toxic at all IMHO. There are far worse places on the Internet. Of course one needs a bit of skin at places where things are discussed (no matter what the subject is). Most discussions go down pretty civil here, if you ask me. I never found SL to be toxic at all, but then again I'm never really in SL, I have a puppet in SL and I'm behind the keyboard at home. So it is not really immersive for me, that helps a lot I guess.

    There was a time I had a lot of volunteer jobs in the church. My personal record stands at 4 services during a December 24. The normal Sunday survice and three masses at Christmas Eve and two times coffee with the dean in between services. And than on the two Christmas days (NL is one of the countries that celebrates with two days) two more to go. Those were the days. Because of the abuse scandals in the church I quitted all those jobs and haven't set foot in a church for many years. So that peeve solved my time problem on Christmas eve for sure.

    Except for the hering, they are all very good and just snacks and candy. It is not what one gets served in a restaurant. But one doesn't come to the Netherlands for the exceptional cuisine either, but that was not the discussion at the moment, was it?

    So as an asexual, my whole life has been a waste of time? Mmmmm....

    Not at all. I don't play games on my phone. I just would have organized the testing differently, if it were my company that's all. I would have chosen for a more result orientated approach. LL has chosen to monetize and hope for the same results that way. Personally I think the phone viewer is to important to use that second path, but it is their company so their show. I hope they will get the desired results this way. About my skills: You don't know hardly anything about me and this thread is not about my skills or the lack of it. I did not mention my beta testing in the past because I wanted to do it now too. It was just to mention that I know how it can be done. I was never in the market to do so for this new software, I was only very surprised that LL chose the path they have chosen, when so much of their future is riding on this for SL. This new device has to become a success to achieve new growth. I never was in the market. I'm retired, enjoying my retirement with as little obligations as possible. If I feel like a road trip tomorrow, I'll go. If I want to sleep late tomorrow morning, I'll do. If I want to do something SL related, I have a to do list for my tiny marketplace shop. If I were in the market, I would have contacted LL directly, no public application through their website, which I didn't either, you read that somehow into it.

    One normally doesn't travel to Britain for the food. The traditional British food that is. The foreign foods (like the curries) they borrowed are great.

    Thanks for your ultimate bragging. Sorry that there are no golden testers name tags in world.

    They are too big IMHO. Too much room to fill with too little LI allowance.
  18. Sid Nagy
    How about paying taxes? 🤪

    Don't underestimate the bragging right.

    They started a social casino this year, maybe a social bordello next year?

    The theme is already in alpha stages. I managed to take a first picture: Adult Linden home theme. Showing The Vault. It seems PBR enabled.

    Than they better use "Optimized for SL" "Created for SL" or something like that. "Original mesh" sounds silly to me. Even a prim is original mesh.
  24. Sid Nagy
    "100% PBR Free" or "No PBR added" sounds better for the environment or at least ones own health.
  25. Sid Nagy
    "Original mesh" or "100% original mesh" seems to help in advertisements. So "PBR enhanced" or "PBR enabled" will score too I guess. For now "100% PBR free" should sell better.
