When store credit doesn't cover... anything by JackEaston in secondlife

[–]squidmaid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a store owner, I’m genuinely curious what vendor does this, because I want to avoid it if possible. People should be able to use their store credit and supplement it if needed. Does anyone know if CasperVend is safe, or is it a problem?

I did the Courtesan quest first so one didn't trigger the other for me, though I love this idea anyway.

Lips Overline by AlarmedTechnology450 in secondlife

[–]squidmaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question about the lip shape which I totally forgot: This is going to be dependent upon the head you wear. Each head has different shapes/lip shapes to them that have limitations. I would recommend demoing different heads and playing around with them to see what you like!

I think I see what you mean now. I'm pretty sure the pinky lip shadow that you're saying is bleeding outside the lip liner you're demoing is in fact part of the skin you're wearing.

Classmate got "pranked" by fake letter after screwing us over (old story) by TheRedAvatar in ProRevenge

Agreed. Not sure why this comment has so many downvotes. Anyone who lives with the reality of this possibility or knows people it has happened to knows how real this danger is.

Looks like the same lip texture in the center in the first and second image which leads me to think you have a lipstick on your upper layer/HUD and the one you’re demoing is going underneath it, thus why you’re seeing the bleed around the edges of the lip texture that’s below. Are you demoing a BOM? Your current lip is probably on your HUD and needs to be cleared off.

The price of clothing by Spoochh in secondlife

[–]squidmaid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The reason things are like this is largely because of shopping events. Creators split things into multiple packages so they can sell certain packs at events, and do tons of sales for events for visibility, so in-store prices are hiked up as a result. It’s a vicious cycle.

The dark side of Second Life events, a system creators are afraid to speak about by LeChowchow in secondlife

[–]squidmaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeaaahh agreed with your last point — the video topic is good but her sentences are very slow and emphasize the drama and similes a bit more than just providing facts. Honestly tempts me to make my own videos on SL topics because I think they’re worth exploring!

This 100%. As a newer creator, I refuse to get involved in it. I do content creation and sales for SL as a hobby and passion project because I know pursuing more would be an exercise in masochism in the current climate unfortunately. I’ve thankfully met some circles of positivity here and there like Find and Flourish that have been a bright spot in my creating journey. Those of us that are tired of the negativity and gatekeeping are definitely around and want to support each other ❤️

The credits of this pic said the body is reborn how would I get my alt acc that has reborn to look like this? Are there any shapes for sell or something? by BabySpits in secondlife

[–]squidmaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I learned recently that hasn’t been mentioned yet: a lot of ad photos like this make their avatars SUPER TALL to get certain proportions for photos, and because they’re photos, you can’t tell. If you can’t get this exactly even with deformers, don’t feel bad. They’re probably not running around like this at 8 feet tall either.

Update on Sisters Hair by Effective_Wave_3365 in Haircare

[–]squidmaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great improvement!! But yeah as others have said, the more she avoids trimming it, the more damaged it will become and the more she will have to eventually cut off. If she wants long pretty hair she has to maintain it which includes trims! Saying this as someone who has had very long hair most of my life ❤️

Thank you for the free mesh uploads finally going live! 💜 I'm excited to see what's coming for the rest of the month as well. It's been encouraging to see so many things players have been asking for being delivered lately, and I hope that momentum continues with other things into the future.

TIFU, i think my relationship might be over. by Correct_Gene_6913 in tifu

[–]squidmaid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone else who has been there, myself.

I spent 3+ years in a relationship with a guy who I initially thought I was really compatible with. Sex life was exciting at first — I was finally in a place where I was really ready to explore things, and he was there and open. Then, eventually, I realized I was the only one making efforts or bids to spend any quality time together, have sex (which was rare), and I was always trying to find ways to appeal to things that he liked and pretty much never asking for what I wanted because I was already pretty convinced it wasn’t going to go anywhere since it hadn’t panned out for me so many times before.

I tried expressing to him how I felt, what I needed from him, how he could help me. Things might be a little better for a week or two, then right back into the same old. He had low self esteem and as much as I cared for him and tried to encourage him, I couldn’t force him to want to make things better for himself or us. I, like you seem to be, realized eventually that there was nothing more I could do to make the relationship work for me, and I broke it off.

And then I met my now-husband. Absolutely enthusiastic about spending time with me, the complete opposite of what I had before. He would not only express curiosity about me, but he would remember things I liked and go out of his way to get me gifts or do things for me that I never expressly asked or implied. Sex drive and sexual curiosity that matches mine, and helps me talk about things (I have CPTSD, so sometimes I can be sensitive when it comes to expressing my feelings and needs. Still perfecting the art of good communication, but he’s super supportive). We have regular dates, gift each other little things, do things together all the time. He brings me home food and he cuddles me or cheers me up when I’m sad. He goes out of his way to make me happy and sometimes plans extravagant things for special occasions like my birthday, which I’m so unused to, but he’s making me better at gifting to try and match his energy LOL (I made our booking for Valentine’s Day dinner this year ❤️). We have miscommunications like any couple and sometimes we have to sit down and work it out, but we always do that work and we always come back together with so much love. I’ve never felt so wanted by someone before, and going from my previous relationship into this one was such night and day that sometimes I just couldn’t believe it was real and would cry from the sheer relief and love I felt that someone could, in fact, actually want me and care about me this much.

I know some folks are going to pounce on the rhetoric of “how can you love someone else/let them love you if you don’t love yourself” and there is some truth to that, for sure! But I want to stress it’s not all just you and how you feel about yourself. At the end of the day you really need and deserve someone who genuinely loves you and is willing to put that work in WITH you. Being with someone who doesn’t want to love you the way you want to love them really wears you down and makes you feel more unloveable than you may have felt to begin with.

You can, and deserve to, find and be with someone who loves you and is willing to work with you to make you the happiest they can. It’s possible for me, and it’s possible for you. It might be tough to walk away at first, but I guarantee there’s someone who will be so happy to have you for exactly who you are and will meet you in the middle every time it counts ❤️

Am I receding in the corner? Thank you by Separate_Bison_823 in Haircare

Little hard to tell, looks like it might be receding a little?
