Let’s Stop Griefing, Please
In the comments on post about what one can do about griefing one of the soggestions passed almost unnoticed. I wasn't sure if something so obvious and simple is making any sense, wasn't proposed earlier and found ineffective or whatever so I let some time pass. But, the more I think, the more I'm sure I need to fill one JIRA ticket. It won't solve all the problems, but could help us prevent a large percent of them.
Realism Doesn’t Make A Good Immersion
Rick van der Wal has shared some thoughts on how second life could be more immersive. Discussion there is going nice but it also provokes some (side-)thoughts on the questions of immersion and the experience of being in second life. Read more…
Dreaming Second LIfe
First time it happens we are surprised, maybe confused or even alerted. With a bit of luck there is somebody of older residents to tell you that was happening to most of us. But then it happens again and again, so we get used to it. And then it stops. Or better, we stop remembering it. But sometimes a small (or larger) chunk of second life dream pops back to the consciousness while our humans are doing morning rituals of bath or making a cup of coffee. Read more…
The Ugliness Of Stupidity
I won't talk about how somebody has a right to make own land any way they want. That goes without saying. Freedom of choice and freedom of expression and creativity are something that makes second life beautiful and great as it is. I want to address stupidity here. Stupidity that parasites on aforementioned freedoms and makes second life as ugly as it can be. Read more…
How Do You Feel About Your Other Half?
How does your human deal with all your whips, collars, naughty clothes, sculpted furry genitals and other attachments, stilettos, contact cards of people with maybe weird sense of fun, notecards full of drama, snapshots that you hope never were copyable… and all the other things stuffed in the folder, probably one of the rare of yours that is tidy and sorted? The drawer with silks and stockings and underwear. And a box and an envelope. The drawer we put a drop of incense in. Read more…
Attack Of The Praying Mantis
I am not in the mood to tell you another "boy meets a girl in second life" story. You know how it goes. Skip the dancing and the intellectual foreplay, sooner or later, they will look for a bit of fun in the poseballs. One teleport and a couple of minutes later two of them are running through animations, exchanging sweet words and naughty thoughts…
You know that most of the men have that latent fear, something that has a name related to praying mantis, the naughty insect whose female cut off male's head after mating. And she eat him then. For some unknown link between humans and mantises there is that fear about her going very evil in the moment when he is weak and not ready to fight and defend himself. It happens in the world of insects. It frightens humans. Well, it can happen in metaverse, too. Actually, it can be much worse than you think. Read more…
Let’s Make The Grid Performing A Bit Better, Please
Shall we? Stop whining about things are not smooth as we wish. We all know they are not. Let's do something about that. Consider that an ecology action. If each of us spend ten minutes and delete all the trash that clutters our inventories…
Yes, sounds crazy, but do some math. At the end of the action you'll have more than thousand items less. Multiply that with the number of the residents we can get into this. Now we are speaking… millions! That will make a difference. And it is just ten minutes and a few words. Read more…
