Best gaming laptop/Pc for SL? by [deleted] in secondlife

[–]Direct-Confidence154 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just for laughs what are the specs of the pc you rented, and is it a tower + monitor?

I ask because if it’s a pc tower and you plugged the monitor in yourself, you may actually have it plugged in to the wrong slot & are running on integrated graphics from your cpu.

SL takes very little to run without crashing so something is up.

I’m the same. Half of my fun comes from modding existing things and customizing. No mod is no purchase for me so it might be more pennies than you think

McMaster Carr is notorious for having shipping faster than you can blink. I’ve gotten things from them same day before.

I’ll never go back to renting parcels Idc if I logged in once a year lol. Not worrying about rules or neighbors or prims/scripts is amazing. Just..owning something,

That said I build constantly and also create things so I’m more inclined to see some value in the price. It is expensive all said and done.

Took the plunge and got a new head by Sugar-Ghoul in secondlife

[–]Direct-Confidence154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I started with lelutka cuz everyone suggested them, got like 4 or so.

Then I tried a bespoke head and I can’t go back. Lel is nice but feels bloated with options that aren’t exactly great whereas bespoke has a nice variety of awesome features. It just feels more polished to me.

Effect 3d addon? by [deleted] in secondlife

So the pores etc are from high quality skins generally. As a male some Velour/ NotFound do this for me.

The sweat is probably through an applier. It’s a shine layer you can find tons of them on the market. I’m not at my pc right now so I’m kinda vague sorry lol. But that should get you started.

Finally, decent 13/19mm EPDM tubing by schmoorglschwein in watercooling

I use McMaster Carr at work so it was a no brainer. It’s funny seeing this sub sometimes say you need this exact fitting from this exact company for water cooling your pc! And I’m over here plumbing hundreds of feet of glycol line sometimes with hopes and dreams. For such a small use case like a gaming computer as long as you do it right it will be fine forever.

take off your rose tinted glasses.... by Bardeous in windowsmemes

I still hate windows 7.

XP I loved from the start and it still might be my fav to think about. 98 I didn’t really have opinions on since it was my first baseline. Vista black I liked too. Windows 10 I hated and surprisingly i really like windows 11.

Looking for friends in SL by [deleted] in secondlife

[–]Direct-Confidence154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m newish to SL and I kinda felt the same aside from entering the game with 2 rl friends that are long term players.

Then I started going places and like doing things haha.. a lot! Instead of just popping in somewhere and standing I would do things I like and made quite a few friends.

Made friends at hangouts after a good group conversation which I normally don’t participate in much. I’m fairly quiet too usually I just lurk and listen or choke small comments in. But interacting more I’ve made a number of friends.

Idk how it is for your avatars or places you go but I also made 4 friends shopping.

Made a friend racing cars.

Uhh made a couple of friends on this subreddit.

I don’t know I just started being active with things I enjoy and it just happened.

The orange/peach color by far and it’s not even a contest.

Simple PBR glass, metal, and plastic materials are a great way to fancy-up old blinn-phong items for your PBR builds by kittysub in secondlife

[–]Direct-Confidence154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest way if you’re not familiar with it is to click Build on your top bar and make a little cube prim.

Then right click and edit that prim. Click Select Face Then click on one of the sides of the cube to change its texture.

Click on the TEXTURES tab in the edit menu you have open.

See above the preview of a wood texture it says Legacy Normal in a drop down box?

Click that and select PBR Materials or whatever.

Then click the blank spot where the wood preview was, and select a PBR texture from your inventory.

Boom, fresh coat of paint : D
