Well, I was in Second Life last night for the RPG Podcasters / Night Pandas holiday party. Mostly we danced the jig on the pool table and shapechanged into tiny animals. It was fun, but not really a RP experience.
Our first Night Panda event involved invading a strip club as tiny animals. Hey, tiny animals need nekkid women too. We weren’t griefing, we were just being whimsical.
Anyone who has ever known someone who put together a sexay female avatar knows that it’s expensive: the skin alone will cost $1000L and up, then there’s the hair, the eyes, etc., etc. Not to mention clothes. And there are some who buy their shape, as well. So, the dancers deserve to earn their living, to my mind, they’ve really spent a lot of time and energy and Lindens to look the way they do.
I won’t waste my readers’ time complaining about the state of the Grid. Right now, I can’t tell whether it’s Second Life or my crappy video card that’s causing most of my problems. I just know that I periodically just up and reboot without warning. No error message other than “thread caught in driver” - whatever that means.
And it doesn’t seem to make sense what causes the reboot, either. You’d think that maybe something computationally expensive would do so, like a poofer or vehicle movement, or whatever. But I’ve been rebooted during both easy and complex graphical situations.
I have recently found Bear’s Marina, but I am hoping to be allowed to join his group, because Bear Plunkett runs a series of areas where, if you join his group, you can rez a sailboat near a dock, so you can then turn around and sail into lots of water areas.
I love sailing on Second Life. It’s very soothing. I sit on my little Flying Tako, which was free, by the way, and I sail along with the wind. It’s very relaxing and meditative.
I got a pirate cutlass and some more pirate gear, and I think I want to look around to buy a pirate ship. Now *that* would be awesome.
