  1. My god lol it's just a news article. Should be happy we're getting some sort of exposure. And who's to say BBC didn't get that 90k number from LL? OP: Posts article about Secondlife. Some person: Posts political rant about BBC. Claims others are easily offended. Me: Wha? Let's be real. Who's easily offended?
  2. Satellite is not recommended according to SL system requirements. Important Notes * Second Life is not compatible with dial-up internet, satellite internet, and some wireless internet services. https://secondlife.com/system-requirements
  3. Idk see big issue with fits. I mean if its something meant to be tight sure but a perfect fitted jacket for instance isn't so great since you wont be able to wear anything under it or mix it with anything else that didn't originally come with it. So basically you're stuck with whatever look is on the advertisement instead of being able to personalize an outfit.
  4. Peeve: The moment you realized you bought the same outfit twice.... From two different vendors...
  5. Oof. Didn't realize this was a necro'd thread.
  6. Should have saved the chat because Im sure it states that in there and line it up with the transaction time. I'm surprised they couldn't do anything since it obviously didn't do what was intended and it's easy to verify what you are saying is true by the time stamp of the transaction. I likely wouldn't use that vendor again. I'd take it up with SL to be honest.
  7. MP Relevance = relevant but no separation between new and old products hence why you commonly see new players leaving bad reviews because a product made in 2012 didn't fit their mesh body... MP Newest = No relevancy MP Best selling = weighted toward old products hence why you commonly see new players leaving bad reviews because a product made in 2012 didn't fit their mesh body... Doesn't matter the glitch, MP will always be broken until they rework their search engine.
  8. Yes I feel like some vendors go for the juggler instead of going for the sale. Their prices should direct people toward the fatpack. Instead it's like their fatpack pricing directs people toward the singular purchase. I think some just base their pricing off what other people's prices are and don't have any actual matrices or anything to base their prices off of. I feel like if a fatpack were more reasonably priced they'd generate more sales and ultimately make more Ls than they would making minimal sales for high priced fatpacks. Some of the higher end vendors don't charge and arm and leg for fatpacks. And you won't see any of the higher end ones that do charge high prices at the top events because then their customers will see who the real big bois are and what they are charging. I walked into a shop the other day after seeing their products demonstrated at a show. I went in with pure intentions to buy things. Then I saw fatpacks for 3100+. I mean. You know whats worth 3k+? A house, head and body ect. You know, things that you use every day. Not outfits you might wear on occasion. I ended up not buying anything at all.
  9. I like that half my country is complaining about restrictions when if they simply wore masks and took this thing seriously we could have been opened by now. Or at least in the process of reopening. Instead it was a left vs right political thing. I just want to go back to work. Screw the left and the right.
  10. I thought September and October were really good months for events. A lot of the quarterlies came out in those months and the creators really cranked out a lot of good products. I personally really enjoyed NeoJapan, Necrotize and Cyber Fair. I think expecting that type of level every month at the monthlies is a bit of stretch unless you want your favorite creators to stress out, get drained and quit. I like the monthlies for checking in on my handful of favorite's new releases and finding other vendors to add to that list. I treat the quarterlies more like Christmas for me.
  11. I can mod real world things I buy so not sure how that is equivalent to how things work in the real world. As for MP I wish it was landmark only or at least stores had the option to be landmark only. I feel like MP just funnels you towards things you are looking for and not necessarily things you may be interested in. It's kind of like when you walk through any store, they are specifically designed for you to walk by things you may be interested in. That method is entirely missing in the MP.
  12. Ha yes I've noticed that a lot lately as well at events. It's deceiving. They literally mean it's 50% off the price of buying all 20 of their colors individually. It's not 50% off what they normally sell fatpacks for. It's kind of sad that it's at popular events too since I feel like it makes all the other participating vendors look bad as well. I mean if this one is trying to deceive me how do you think I feel about the people affiliated with them?
  13. Peeve 1: Scantly clad child avatars with profiles that say they are not children but 18 years old. Ya I don't think I've seen an 18 year-old that look like they're 14 or younger. Nor have I seen any that were bruised. If I did I'd probably call the police. Which leads me to... Peeve 2: Child abuse isn't a fashion statement. It's an ignorance statement. PS: If you were in the same sim as me while *****ting around in your child av and caught a ban soon after. It was likely me that reported you.
  14. Yes but they can add all the subcategories they want. It won't matter if vendors don't use them. Vendors check off what categories their products go into. It's not automated or anything.
  15. I hope they fix the search engine as well. The issue with subcategories is that vendors need to put their products into them. A lot of them don't or just pick generic categories.
  16. There used to be an app where you could log on and chat. That's about it. Not sure if it's still around.
  17. Are you sure they aren't saying "parlor" /ˈpärlər/? I don't think I've ever heard an English speaker use the word "parler" in reference to talking. It's likely they are just misspelling the word "parlor". Which has no relation to the French word "parler". And we already have the word "parlay" which also has no relation to "parler". Also "foyer" is properly pronounced foiər in English. It's in the Oxford dictionary and everything. Ya it derives from the French word foyer. But the French "foyer" derives from the latin word "focus". Using your logic you yourself aren't even saying it correctly.
  18. Just getting started and then getting ready to go home.
  19. That reminds me. I bought a nintendo the other day from the marketplace. With controllers and all. I also have another thing I can plays duck hunt on. So basically I can sit on my ass while watching my avatar sit on his ass playing duck hunt. Man I love SL.
  20. As for SL I think my favorite is the event called Uber. Now I don't think Uber would have a case against them as "uber" was a common slang term used by gamers I believe from the late 90s to about the mid 2000s. I think they might take issue with the logo they use however as its not that different. Can't remember off the top of my head but I think only the font and case was different. I just think its funny because you'd think an event would want to promote unique, original things.... but...
  21. Ha. I used to work for a print shop that dealt with course packs for harvard and boston college. I've run into copyright issues quite a bit. For me the line was not as gray since I was getting paid to copy whatever the thing is but ya fair use is fair use. I would just tell the customer hey ya you can go copy it over there on our little office printer if you want but no I cannot run it through my 120k usd high production machine and make copies for you.
  22. These are what I dug up earlier. One is from Harvard the other Standford. Harvard is more about the law itself and Stanford describes a specific case. Pretty good sources imo. https://ogc.harvard.edu/pages/copyright-and-fair-use https://fairuse.stanford.edu/2014/12/22/much-photo-need-alter-avoid-copyright-infringement-hint-cheshire-cat/ I think I would ignore the letter (I am assuming cease and desist) if I was merely using something. I would have pretty high doubts that they would follow through with it and file a DMCA. Even with me paying for a lawyer they'd would risk more by it potentionally establishing case precedent for such a small reward for them. Which for me would be just not using the thing I was using. There would be no monetary loses on my end paid to them.
  23. Ya I know what you're saying. A lot of clothes these days have that but this gacha is from 2017. I think I bought my first mesh bod in 2017. Granted I did take a break from 2013 to 2017. But I am pretty sure autohides were not prevalent back then.
