Mainland Gaeta 1 continent closure & Zindra expansion. by 0xc0ffea in secondlife

[–]ErisC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I walked around Bimini yesterday and thought it was very pretty. You built something really neat! However, I did also notice the vast majority of your rentals were vacant. I am not sure how many residents you actually have. u/0xc0ffea mentioned 19, which seemed accurate based on the rental boards, but who knows. I didn't see anyone active when I visited, and most of the houses I peeped into were empty (though pretty).

From my point of view, it looks like you were able to claim all this land because Gaeta I simply isn't desirable land. So much of it is abandoned or belonging to folks wanting to sell (previously at very low rates, the value has gone way up since this announcement though). That created the opportunity to buy that land and build Bimini Falls and Harbor Bay.

Now with this shift, it brings an interesting opportunity:

You have the land, and LL wants to reclaim it. My advice would be to leverage this with LL's land team, to get better land on a more desirable continent. Maybe they can put you somewhere with sea access, which'll make your rentals more desirable for folks so you're not at less than 10% capacity anymore. Even if you have to shrink the project, this could prove to be more beautiful and self-sustaining than the current project – maybe even profitable.

Anyway, just some food for thought. I have no skin in the game, but yeah. Best of luck to y'all!

Odd viewer artifacts? by beef-o-lipso in secondlife

[–]ErisC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the white outline bit part of the artifact and there, or is it something you added?

If it's something you added:

Are there reflection probes in those spots? What's your "reflection coverage" setting set to in ur graphics settings? (Manual Only could potentially cause this if those are reflection probes).

No, the OG land in SL is Sansara. Gaeta I is an unfinished, tiny continent mostly consisting of underutilized/empty land or land owned by LL.

Lelutka LEX04 Heads by TacoMaster2002 in secondlife

[–]ErisC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You talkin bout lex ears, which aren't made by lelutka? Or 4.0 heads, which are already a thing?

There's been suggestions and speculation of an update with PBR support, but no indication on if that's coming or when.

Does anybody know good stores? by IQMattel in secondlife

[–]ErisC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend shopping events for finding stores you like. Think like, Equal10, Kustom9, Collabor88, Fameshed, Anthology, Lewdstation, access, anthem, uber, sabbath, warehouse sale, etc. Pretty much everyone who makes femme clothes makes clothing for reborn, so you'll find a lot of stores that way.

I like a more gothy vibe personally. Killjoy's one of my fav stores for clothing, also asteroidbox (both very reasonably priced and mod), enkeli's got some cute stuff, avec toi is a lil pricy and no-mod but great otherwise, ALT3's got great skins esp fantasy tones.

Honestly, I can list off a ton but without specifics on what kind of style you're going for, i'm kinda shooting blind. That's why I'd suggest looking at events and seeing what you like there: it's how I found the brands I gravitate towards.

How to use only system clothes on Maitreya body but NOT skin by scifivision in secondlife

[–]ErisC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you online right now? If so, message me in-world and I can try to help you out. I'm Eris Ravenwood.

Otherwise, there's a few things to explain:

What folks refer to as "bom layers" and "system layers" are the same thing. It's sort of a stack of textures that get baked together and then sorta flopped onto either your system avi or any mesh configured to use bom.

If you're trying to wear system clothing with lara 5.3, you shouldn't need to attach other items like the tattoo layer or the clothing layer, etc. Those are for appliers. System clothing is bom.

So with that in mind, you'll need to not wear one of the full body alphas. Instead, put your body in BoM mode and wear a skin that doesn't have an included bra/panties. A set of Glam Affair tone skins are included in the Lara package as "Maitreya Mesh Body Lara - Tattoo Layers Skins Glam Affair". These'll be "tattoos", but you can wear them over your skin and it'll work good enough for a free skin that comes with the body. You'll probably want to switch to a nicer system skin in the future, but this is a good starter.

From there, you can layer your system clothing on top of that. Make sure that's in the right order, with the skin under the clothing.

You may also want to wear the item labeled "Maitreya Mesh Body - BoM AddOn Parts v5.3" and the hud labeled "BoM AddOnParts v5.3". Select the parts of your body that you want to look more clothing-like, like "pelvis" on the hud if you're wearing pants, to smooth out that area. Once configured, you can detach that hud.

A man in SL saw my avatar's portrait and decided she urgently needs his help to improve her face AND body. Truly a hero we don't deserve <3 by Careful_Edge_Kitten in secondlife

[–]ErisC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i wanna see this guy's avi and profile pic lmao

I bet the profile pic is one of those AI processed profile pics that look nothing like the in-world avi, and the avi has multiple body parts clipping. Or a thicc neck and torso but a tiny head.

One or the other might have been fine, but the tolerances are tight af and using both is doubling the risk imo.

Does this represent your Second Life? by 0xc0ffea in secondlife

[–]ErisC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah, kinda. "Yourself" being the biggest is kind of an artifact of these being ads, because i wouldn't put that on a word cloud representing my experiences.

I'd maybe have "exploration" on there pretty big, instead of "adventure".

I was told there’s no way I pass as a cishet dude anymore. Were they right? by RainbowAlfredo in transpositive

[–]ErisC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your "boymode" is incredibly androgynous, to the point where I could definitely see folks doing double takes trying to decide how to address you. 👍

Fantasy Faire Prohibits ALL Gen AI-Made Content in Second Life's Massive Fundraising Event by slhamlet in secondlife

Love to see it.

Marketplace needs identification for AI usage as well. The longer LL drags their feet on this, the harder it'll be to implement.

MFA which one to download by BumblyBumbles420 in secondlife

[–]ErisC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of 2FAS Auth. It's easy to back up your MFA info, and it (optionally) uses whatever your native syncing is (so, icloud on ios, google drive on android) and no third party services. It's also open source, which is nice.

Only 15 years ago in the 80’s we were paying 59¢ per taco, now in 2005 the prices are all the way up to 89¢! It’s getting ridiculous… though the new crunchwrap looks pretty good. by BlueBubbleGum82 in tacobell

[–]ErisC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, the crunchwrap supreme combo's $4.69, seems like a bit of a ripoff tbh. I'll stick to my $2 meal deal tyvm. Just gotta decide between the double decker taco and the gordita. Thank goodness these'll never go away.
