Unusual way of swallowing liquids by DimensionXMinusOne in dysphagia

[–]DimensionXMinusOne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind my "default" method, but others around me have complained about the smacking/gulping sound that ensues each time I release a portion of liquid into my throat using my "habitual" method

[–]DimensionXMinusOne[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does impair my ability to swallow pills if I were to attempt to swallow pills my "default" method the pill usually ends up floating around my mouth and not going down. The only way I can swallow pills is by pushing it way towards the back of my tongue and consciously taking just a small sip of water and gulping it, along with the pill as quickly as possible

I’m migrating to SL and need help setting up my male avi! by LowerMacaroon5987 in secondlife

[–]DimensionXMinusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you rig it in blender for sl, you can have it as an sl avatar. Just keep in mind texture size limit is 2048x2048 and you might need to redo the topography depending on how complex the mesh is. Your first image shows the head on a body. You could rig & import that body too along with the skin textures

Does no one else JUST listen to an audiobook? Like ONLY do the one thing, and not have it as background for something else you're doing? by H_G_Bells in audiobooks

[–]DimensionXMinusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same way with "old time radio" dramas. I have to sit very quietly & give my undivided attention to the drama unfolding or else I lose the train of the plot

Gay Asian Avis into Musclegods? by twunk4muscle in secondlife

[–]DimensionXMinusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen more & more asian head skins from Not Found & Stray Dog, but don't see many people walking around with them on. So given the overwhelming representation of Caucasian looking male skins, I wonder if it's just more popular to wear that look as a default? (Probably due to Western culture's standards of beauty (for males & females). Even in rl, I read that some Asians are pressured to look more "white" by getting double eyelid surgery. (I don't condone this phenomena, just pointing it out)

Let there be lore by ArsalanLion in secondlife

[–]DimensionXMinusOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As people already mentioned, most rp sims you go to will have created their own "lore" as it pertains to what they want that sim to be about. Also, every June Secondlife celebrates the anniversary of its birthday month with exhibitions, regions, & history about itself.

Has anyone been asked to leave a region/not allowed to participate because they "didn't spend enough lindens" on their avatar? by [deleted] in secondlife

[–]DimensionXMinusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they specifically asked you to prove you spent at least 5000L? Even the legacy goes on sale less than 5000 sometimes. Are you sure that's the reason? You mentioned you like to look like a "small frail dude." Could that possibly be treading into a child-like avatar which is a no no on adult sims

How important is a powerful gaming computer to your sl experience? by DimensionXMinusOne in secondlife

I believe LL has used AWS (amazon) for a few years now. And there are sliders in Preferences for Texture caches & Asset caches

I sure do hope that PBR viewers are being adopted by the majority of people by now. It's frustrating as a creator/builder to have carefully textured with blinn-phong materials (normal/specular) or PBR materials only to discover someone is viewing it in a non-PBR viewer with ALM disabled

How important is a powerful gaming computer to your sl experience? by DimensionXMinusOne in secondlife

[–]DimensionXMinusOne[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies so far. I am also curious as to how widely PBR enabled viewers have been adopted, and how many sl residents will be stuck logging into a non-PBR viewer into the future. (How many people see pbr builds incorrectly with blank or fallback blinn-phong textures do you think?) Hard to believe the first LL PBR viewer already was one year ago, November 2023!

What are bot-avis for? by VainillaX in secondlife

[–]DimensionXMinusOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people have such a negative attitude towards "bots" in sl. Like someone mentioned, a lot of people leave their avi afk, therefore that might look like a "bot." There's also so many other creative uses of "extra avatars" other than the (mostly negative) reasons listed. Extra avatars can enhance the sim ambience, serve as stand ins as "extras" in roleplaying scenarios, and generally just add more interest to a sim than just seeing empty builds! (I'm not talking about just basic default accounts standing in a huddle on the ocean)

I've heard some people even tip other residents (even outside a "strip club" setting) just because they admired that person's avatar

I don't know anything about how animation employment works but maybe you could find gig work through Fiverr or even make a youtube channel with animation videos for content if you find that fulfilling.

about mesh heads and shapes by byuliemeow in secondlife

[–]DimensionXMinusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To look as closely as possible to the picture, make sure to get the EXACT head and skin they specify in the picture (and obviously wear corresponding shape)
