I put my halloween stuff out Oct 1st and I'll be putting my thanksgiving decocrations out Monday, I'm NOT putting up christmas decorations until Nov 25th (although I AM anxious to put out my Plantpets poinsettia) oh I did however put holiday music on my parcel's radio already

I've had a few, specificly I was able to rez objects in RL, I woke up thinking "damn too bad it's just a dream that would be so useful"

I got a little ambitious and made this,it's inspired by Powers of Ten, the transitions could have been better but after 40+ hours of rendering from C4D I didn't feel like working much harder, made with Cinema 4D, Second Life and Google Earth

either this or this

well october is done so time to put the scary away, and break out the cold weather gear I just finished reconverting my house back to normal before and after in the meantime my eye is turned to the SFL......go Broncos!

I've had plenty of "hey that would be cool" ideas nothing serious 1. be able to map facial expressions and hand movements to your avatar with a Kinect 2. if you've used Google earth you know how it zooms out from your current location, pans across the globe and then flies in to the new location when you go to a new address, I think it'd be cool if SL had an animation screen like that when you TP rather than the current black screen with a load bar 3. find a way to increase prim count and decrease costs for sims 4. Viewer 1 had head tracking capability when using a head mounted display like Vuzix VR glasses, bring that back 5, bring back an imbedded ability to record video, recording around HUDs with a screen recorder software is a pain 6 less something I'd like to see Linden Labs do but I'd love to see some vendors do, is more partnership between well known items, imagine catching a fish in 7seas and being able to add it to a cooking HUD to convert it into food like for Spellfire or something I have other ideas too that I can't remember off the top of my head

I find it honorable actually that you want to make it part of your SL. It's like an honor badge for what you have endured. Does that make sense? it makes perfect sense

my sister and I actually had fun this year of making a pinup calander that we're gonna put together come December here are March and July

it's a mixed bag for me, my normal avatar does not have the disabilties I have in RL because I go to SL to escape them, for lack of a better word however I did build avatars that are incarnations of myself as I was growing up (less for RP purposes and more for photo purposes) and I did incorporate my disabilities into them

out of curiosity how retro are we talking, what's the general time frame we talking about?

i have a 'i'm one of the 99%' sign i can sell you, 1000L

I use Sirena's Snow hair, it's scripted so that it animates you tucking it up under your hat when you wear a hat, bonus, you can put the hat script in any hat that you can mod

Venus Petrov wrote: I have blocked the occasional person. Once it was a n00b who I had briefly assisted and wanted to call me 'mom' and refused 'no thank you' as a response. I think I met this same person! not only did not take 'no thank you' as a response but did not take "hell no, that's creepy as **bleep**" as a response that said I rarely block people unless I absolutely HAVE to, although a quick way to earn that block from is the people who think it's their duty to stream their crappy music of choice over voice chat so everyone can listen to it other than that if I don't wanna talk to you, and you're on the same sim (in the general vicinity as me I just give short, apathetic responses while putting my facial expression hud to Angry Face it usually gets the point across

you can see my bike in this pic, I believe it's the same type Wildcat hass

I have a shop that sells a goofy little replication of pogs that were the huge rage in the 90s I make them no copy no mod only to add in the "collect 'em and trade 'em" aspect, nothing more nothing less but that's just me

lemonmoog99 wrote: Great first step guys! SL - Please now figure out how to animate these 'atoms' in an equally realistic fashion. Then maybe mix in a little 'marker-less non-destructive re-targeted motion-tracking' for good measure... real time mapping of your facial expressions (and hand movements would be awesome too) onto your avatar would be awesome, I've read articles about people working on this but haven't seen any results yet lemonmoog99 wrote: ...and most importantly, the ability to look down and feel like we own the virtual 'avatar' we inhabit, within this gloriously realistic 3D animated world. Not asking too much am I? I've already done this dozens of times, I have a Vuzix Head Mounted Display and despite the small snag that they no longer support motion tracking past Viewer version 1, using it and going into Mouselook (especially with the "be able to see your own avatar in mouselook" option turned on) can IMMEDIATELY bring me into this sensation/headspace, couple it with the afformentioned facial expression/hand motion mapping and could you imagine just how much voice chat alone would leap ahead? hell, if we wanna get REALLY fancy, imagine if SL offered plugins to use these interesting technologies here as well as what has already been discussed? SL could arguably be considered 1) the movie/science fiction grade virtual reality we've read about/watched on screen for years or 2) a viable alternitive for real reality lol

Wouldn't it be better to get out of the apartment? Get some exercise. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Do some actual work at a real job. Perhaps it's time for the OP to reclaim his humanity before he becomes another statistic. I can't speak for everyone but well for a lot of us, and I have noticed a lot, SL does seem to cater to the people who have health problems in RL and so can't do a lot of those things using myself as an example, I'd love to go out and "get some exercise" but as I have among other things a severe spinal deformity which leaves me in constant pain, doing fun things like jogging, playing sports, driving, ect are things I can only accomplish in Second Life (and rest assured shopping and sex make up about 3% of the activities I do in SL) I do have a real job, however luckily as I can telecommute and work from home (and set my own hours) it leaves me the ability to do my RL job and my SL job at the same time (and no my SL job does not involve pole dancing or escorting) your post may have been meant in earnest but it does come across as a bit patronizing

looking forward to it, if anything out of sheer curiosity between your mowable grass, Plantpets, and MG Magic Crops Vegetable Garden my Second Life is gonna be filled with the yard work I avoid in RL

nice to see a thread like this anyone else tired of the phrase "and with the imminent death of Second Life" in the Metaverse Tribune?

I know I'm only a 2 year-er but the way I do SL sort of keeps the excitement up first off, as Venus said, the always changing landscape tends to keep things exciting, Mesh is a good example, it's still in its infancy stages right now but the sheer curiosity of "what will people do with this" keeps me looking around the corner now one thing I do with SL seems to run contrary with the nature of SL but it does tend to extend the excitement a bit, I only tend to do certain activities at certain times of the year, I mean SURE you can go scuba diving or ice skating at any time, and do both in the same day, but when I limit my scuba diving to the summer months and ice skating to the winter months, I start to look forward to them all the more (as everyone's jumping in on halloween right now, I am too but at the same time I'm really looking forward to November 1st where I can change my outfits to cozy sweaters grab a cup of hot cider and spend my time walking around the Aero Pines and Upstate New York sims watching the leaves change and start looking forward to the Macy's Parade sim starting up) I think what burns out people on SL is part of what makes it awesome, the ability to gratify your adventures right here and now, we just gotta pace ourselves
