Everything Must Go… The Sound of Virtual Music

Yeah, I’m not into farming virtual crops anymore. It was a lot of fun for years, but I got tired of rhw daily grind, and pretty much done with all the mindless mouse clicking to make virtual ingredients and food. I spent a {mumble-mumble}-ton of virtual currency on things to make it less tedious, but it’s just not sparking that joy. So far, $L707 worth of stuff has sold. As space clears out, more stuff…

Drawdown Plan for DFS in #SecondLife

Somehow, my drawdown plan to get out of the daily drudgery of “playing” the Digital Farm Systems inworld game involves buying a few selected items. I’m selective about what I want: good quality mesh, well designed, that works with a traditional early 20th century aesthetic. On the other hand, I discovered with dismay that I had 17 unsold “0 day” bulls at the community market where I’m trying to offload DFS content. So I discounted…

Palia looks like an interesting MMO, but am I a Girl Genius?

I’ve been enjoying light farming while downsizing/cooking down my excess #DigitalFarmSystem inventory in #SecondLife and ran across some reviews of other games and MMOs in the SL Newser blog. Girl Genius and Palia appeal to me, especially the former game. One of my longtime communities was based on the GG comics. Link: Other Grids: SLNewser Blog

Customizing #SecondLife – So Many Bodies, So Much Junk To Sort

There are dozens of #SecondLife mesh bodies and hundreds of virtual fashion designers. Creators have to design multiple versions to rig to different mesh body brands. Last year, I bought the one that’s insanely complex but extremely adjustable and modifiable. I’ve barely dipped a virtual mesh toe in all its features, but I’m good at screwing up the settings. Buy the innovative Star Mesh Body. Second Life’s most advanced & realistic female mesh body &…

PBR Materials Broke My Brain

This is one reason I fell out of Second Life. Technological advances that got beyond my ability to adapt. Lost interest after making some progress in classes, as the new techniques got more complex. Also, I was waiting for Firestorm to update, as I dislike the main viewer. I could no longer get excited and make things. But hey! There’s other reasons to log in, like socializing, shopping, etc. side note: I deleted the mirror…

Fell Out Of The World Again, Hate When That Happens

It’s been a year since I last logged in to Second Life, or updated here. Why? I got frustrated with trying to learn Blender yet again, with PBR just coming in I got frustrated with feeling like stuff I had created was hopelessly outdated I felt pressured by another resident to be! Friends! In! Voice! And felt skeeved. I realized that I no longer wanted to take the time to “craft” and “sell” stuff. I…
