I got curious about what sl was like these days a few years ago and logged in. The entire place except the furry, gorean, and other sex pervert sims was completely empty. drat shame imo, because regardless of the fact that 90% of people take nearly unlimited creative power and then do either basic bitch/bastard virtual clubbing or weird sex poo poo with it, the idea was brilliant and by the time I left the tech was..... Uh...... Lets say it was passable verging on good. I'll never forgive linden labs for mismanaging it on practically every level.

Second Life was pretty fun up until most the creative people got banned or left. A small enclave of holdouts is still clinging to the bones of this dead typefucking simulator, but all of the areas in-game now look like the worst aspects of the internet given form. Did anyone actually make any real money from SL, or was it all just spacebucks in the end?

Yeah, last time I played Second Life all the mainlands were abandoned, and all the dedicated players would seclude themselves to isolated islands with restricted access. Linden Labs got lazy and stopped participating with the community, and eventually everybody got bored and left, leaving the weirdos and their virtual sex dungeons behind. Maybe instead of a Second Life Safari it can be a Second Life Urbex.

My dad remains really into Second Life and I would describe his fascination with it as like building model trains in your sunset years but instead it's giant Alice-in-Wonderland-style landscapes with castles staffed by programmed chatbots and such. I believe he's on OpenSimulator now. It's actually quite impressive with giant sims done in the manner of interactive games and he's probably spent thousands of hours on it. There's a community around his sims and demographically it's like, all boomers. (Whether they do freaky stuff -- don't ask. I haven't. I don't wanna. None of my business anyways.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLPpXNhL9z8 BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Oct 26, 2017 |

Oh. I would say he is rich as gently caress in SL because he made a decent chunk of change doing programming and engineering for drat near 40 years, so he bought his own servers to run everything. I would say he's very liberal but growing up I would say he had a socially conservative streak in the sense of absorbing many of the attitudes of the business world he was in. SL really shook that out of him though since there's a ton of trans people on it and various purple-haired characters, so overall it has been quite positive for him. For sure I wouldn't trade my rich, somewhat crazy, possibly pervy, virtual cyberpunk dad who has lots of trans friends.

I went on second life once and a Goth man was sat down and I made my (fat, nappy wearing, blunt smoking) man stand right in front of him and he went on a screaming tirade about how I was ignorant. I never logged on again. That's my second life story, see ya.

I used to go on there frequently a few years back. I had an abandoned account that I resurrected from 2009, so everyone thought I was some kind of veteran superstar, when I didn't even know what the gently caress I was doing. There were a few clubs that had great trance sets and good DJs. I paid for a "pro" account that let me own a house on the mainland. After that, I bid on some property and created a flying "skybox" home that was fairly bitchin'. This also gave me a weekly Linden dollar allowance. I think I still have about 70 USD IRL sitting in that game waiting to be converted. I promised myself that I wouldn't do any cyber sex or "pixel grinding" as they call in in world. Guess what I did the first night? As luck would have it, there are tons of female avatars(probably controlled by gross old dudes) willing to bang. It was actually lots of cringe-worthy fun. A few weeks into the whole foray, I decided to start writing romance novels, so I bailed on it and just let it accrue money until I ended it. The second I get a decent VR headset, I'm going back in to wreck more avatar pelvises in first person. Linden is also doing project Sansar, which is an attempt at making a cleaner direct VR SL thing. I'm in the beta for some reason, and it suck so much rear end.

Flambeau posted:This HR textbook I'm working through keeps talking about doing employee orientation, training, team-building and all kinds of other poo poo in Second Life, so I'm pretty sure the author is a furry. There was a big push to make SL a type of employee training center and meeting place. Lots of universities have their own sim still. All of it is abandoned. One of the best things to do in SL is wander around the abandoned sims that still are being paid for by someone. I stumbled across an entire sim for "What not to Wear", which was a fashion reality show on TLC(might still be on). Duran Duran also has a sim. Fun story; I found out that you can search for sims based on whether or not they allow you to spawn your own "prims" which are things like object house etc. I setup shop by spawning my skybox mansion on the TLC show's sim. Last i checked, it was still there.

Suffice to say, it's good I'm not left to my own devices IRL. I appreciate your willingness to own up to gleefully pounding pixel rear end, most people wouldn't do that. I only dicked around in Second life for a few hours and it was like a laggy fever dream. All kinds of surreal poo poo to fly around and see, from the playfully whimsical to the sexually horrifying. People get real creative which is awesome, but some idle hands and all that... I never, ever understood why universities and pretty much everything else in the world went through a phase where they all wanted to have a virtual campus/studio/office in SL.

William Henry Hairytaint posted:I appreciate your willingness to own up to gleefully pounding pixel rear end, most people wouldn't do that. I admit, I didn't do much of the cyber sex. It was more a matter of, "Hey neat/HOLY poo poo! What did I just do to that AV!?!" I proceeded on to more normal pursuits after that. I was primarily interested in playing with the Linden exchange, or maybe doing some gambling. Most of what I found was just an abandoned wasteland, but that was fun to check out for awhile too. A lot of the people that I interacted with were kind of lovely to me. I suppose it was mainly because most of the friend groups that are there are pretty tight knit. That, and they probably spend way too much time justifying SL and how much time they spend there.

My first life is really lame and I don't have any friends so this sounds like something i might like There's something kinda similar on Steam right now. Tower Unite: http://store.steampowered.com/app/394690/Tower_Unite/ It seems to be less about griefing and more about seeing what messed up stuff people put in their house/mansions. Games thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3838146 Light Gun Man posted:So there's this game you probably? haven't heard of called Tower Unite. It's a game where you get to decorate your own virtual house. And more importantly, visit the homes of random internet strangers, safari style. In this thread I'm gonna post dumb screenshots of strange poo poo I've seen, hopefully a new update every week or so. I try to only post screenshots of stuff I actually thought was somehow funny or particularly bizarre, like yeah almost every house has anime porno on the wall but not every one is an elaborate custom built porno museum, I'd rather post the latter. Here is a link to my previous posts in the Games Screenshots thread where I've posted stuff from this game before. If you have the game and would like to post your findings as well, please do!
