Waffle House posted:I cannot recommend enough that if Metaverses are starting to be in the news again, bored goons need to group up, get Blender and GIMP immediately installed, get a land parcel for goon sandboxing, and try just loving around making 3D content for fun. Punch some vertexes together, get the models seamed and unwrapped for texturing, and then post it up. Could you provide a link with more information on this? What is the marketplace?

holy poo poo lmao If I manage to get things in the air again for goons, pnumoman, I want you on squad because you seem like a dude who can smoke a bubble pipe and while laser bombing an area wearing a jester hat and 3D glasses. The Saddest Rhino posted:I've modeled the racist knuckles the echidna caricature All the basic ingredients for content development are free downloads, including the avatar skeleton for rigging and animations. You just import it into Blender and can start loving with it. Second Life is suuuuuuper open and open source; get it exported to .dae/collada, you can upload it as a static object, but I recommend rigging it as a full avatar so you can go show people dee wae while you blast Scatman John from a boombox on your shoulder. poo poo I need to make a ghetto blaster Carthag Tuek posted:theyre absolutely not gonna let you put custom 3d models in the metaverse, that goes against the whole idea of it only facebook's team can get away with not having a marketplace at this point, and they may eventually succumb because it is such a smelly amount of cash to have your own currency market and be able to fully capitalize on its integration. Femur posted:Could you provide a link with more information on this? What is the marketplace? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/ There is a truly amazing amount of content for sale, and it's all built up over the course of several years. Linden Labs' CYA for adult stuff is that you create an account (which is free) so you can sign in and snicker at the dildos and genitals. I do not actually see Horizons going this way, because they have a different vector on scope, but try a few off the cuff searches and you'll see exactly what I mean by, "this is the superior solution." You have a decade+ of people pouring their fantasies, garbage, personal concepts, art, hopes, and dreams into a largely unfettered, extremely deep pool of creativity, and it titrates like a motherfucker. The social scene is basically show up to a mass hangout, look pretty, and talk, but obviously the more beautiful you present the more attention you receive. Muscle Wizard posted:please post more about your rad second life adventures. this is an unironic request. Right on. Tales, first, and then I'm gonna start covering bases to address what I see as inertia buildup. Just remember, Second Life is basically the "best" we got in the category of Metaverses so far, so my advice and experience WILL apply to anywhere similar you log in to: Inceltown was accidentally spot on, warped humor nets a theme like Sealab, then group mentality kicks in naturally on the lmao reflex, and before you know it we've rebuilt our parcel to thematically match. Clothes, kit, weapons, etc get dispensed for free to the group. I'm not in the money enough right now to really be funding a new goon episode, but if TSRhino already has a racist knuckles it's basically already a done deal. I really do miss signing in to the punkrock flophouse environment where music is blasting 24/7 and people are scripting, firing weapons, and bullshitting around socializing. The SomethingAwful Second Life group was where I first got into Industrial music when I was a teenager because someone was streaming Front Line Assembly on the parcel's radio and I was like drat this fuckin' slaaaaaaps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGs6AZ-dr0g The best stories are really just business success and trolling. For a while we had a giant dance floor that was inside goatman's anus. We built a giant mall inspired by the Darco Arcology from SimCity 2000 that we called the Arcolith. There was a scale model of the twin towers that you could click and a jet would fly into it. Noisebombing, particlefx moshes, and raves were our bread and butter when we weren't causing actual havoc, but the goon group got scattered to the winds after the grey goo banspree a decade ago, and I have no idea what the trolloscape looks like now. I just assume some new kids from reddit picked up the same mantle and started greasing their brains with seizure rainbows just like I did in the early 2000s. There are several goons who have made fortunes selling things to people; one girl here got into selling an infinite variety of skins and makeup and as far as I know retired a long time ago. Another transgirl I know who likes heavy metal and speedcore started selling their custom furry dicks and avatars to people, and to this day still keeps a whole sim with an industrial apocalypse theme when they're not working their daytime programming job. You can easily carve out a market niche for yourself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That out of the way...you guys actually made me want to be good host again. I have zero problem being the hammer wielder, and I will not be restraining goons nor will I be answering for their individual actions. Catching a ban or probe happens if you want to go pee on things, just reroll a free account. We will be building our infamy, and we *will* be being supervillains. Chaos and order both are embraceable in an environment where you are by design encouraged not to give a poo poo about reality, so the FYAD rule of relax and chill out stands extremely tall. Human, dinosaur, robot, furry, arcane being (very popular, where the gently caress are Huns and Louisgod?), alien...it doesn't matter. If you want to show up naked as hell dressed as whatever, it will be well within allowance, and I will make sure we have an adult parcel so we do not catch flak. The only thing I discourage and will ban for is being unchill to your sisters bros and fellows. Everyone here is an adult, but for obvious reasons, do not harass women. Second Life's gender ratio is astoundingly comfortable, and women are uniquely fearless and prevalent on Second Life. It just is that chill of a place to hang out. 18+ 18+ addendum: The grid requires you be 18+, so I will get this out of the way for your entire life: If you do want to explore the adult content, which is a massive proportion of the grid's activity (and very trollable), make an alt for it that is not your main. Alts are free, and I assure you nobody cares, but it is better to compartmentalize it overall. Last time around there was a rule that no banging happens on-property, but my experience dictates, and I will be making it a personal point of duty to my goons that private rooms be available so you can get away from the group with no fear of interruption if you do actually hit a tender spot meeting someone, which happens all the time. I am a very romantic scenery artist, and it will impress your date. If you then get into a more happy ending with someone, please consider getting your own place because it's baller to be dating easily and freely in a place where sex is incredibly casual. The sex aspect is difficult to broach to the uninitiated, but it is one of the most important things for me to address despite it reading nontraditionally. Second Life has had two decades almost to be its own several cultural steps beyond earth's reality, and has fostered a completely different mindset over that time period. It is very free and liberated there, and people *act like it* as a norm. 18+ wew that was a loving wall of text Waffle House has issued a correction as of 21:14 on Jan 26, 2022 |

I sincerely apologize if the 18+ MSDS handling brief made you queasy, but that is the best possible and most succinct, experienced disclaimer I can offer to avoid you catching instant bans in the course of going out and rolling deep trolling for the good of comedy. There is enough material in Second Life to make a billion Weekend Web episodes. Ultimate comedy does come in the form of catching butt-rear end-naked, mid-coital kinskters in the act with goatse weapons, and you will have them foaming and shrieking at you until they can get an admin signed in to ban you. Like lmao it owns but just be careful and chill, it is my best advice for effectively peaceful digital anarchy.

not gonna pretend i am not invested personally, because I was actually in irl kink scenes before covid but idk that just sounds like being an rear end in a top hat to me. Maybe it sometimes generates humor that's good on its own merit, maybe sometimes you out people who are human poo poo piles. Most of the time it's just a kind of mean disruption of other people's fun though. And that means it's just in bad taste to do imo

It's the best Staplefahrer Klaus best I can give. Tonight I might literally make SeaLab because that split my loving sides.

I know it's the nature of this forum to see someone digging the beginnings of a hole and then encourage them to dig twice as fast in the name of entertainment, but it sucks to then complain about the size of it when it plummets down deeper than you ever expected. To address this directly Waffle House I am glad you're having fun in the forever isolated social game genre, but it is (and will be for the next ten years minimum) an extremely awkward stand-in for doing fun things in reality. I'm glad it exists, I'm glad that people are having fun in it, and it does offer people who cannot otherwise interact socially an outlet at least but I'm afraid clipping vigorously through surfaces as a dead-eyed blow up doll lit by 2008 tier lighting is a fleeting high for most, no matter how many dildo generators you apply to the scene.

It'd have been at best disconnected to reality in the before times, now it's doubling down on the nonsense as the circumstances around us reveal how privileged the viewpoint always was.

I know it's in the nature of this forum that whenever someone is being weird, people come out of the woodworks to show off how normal they are, and end up being easily ten times as bizarre. Even considering that, holy poo poo. We're living in the 2020's, not a sitcom from the aughts. That "normal" world fell apart in 2015, irrevocably. Trump does not belong in that world. Trump belongs in the real world, with meth labs, opiate crisis, and ever fewer people capable of living that middle class lifestyle. I was poor and visibly disabled to begin with, my idea of doing fun things in reality is getting drunk watching birds. This is an era where people are terrified of a deadly pandemic or plugging their ears and pretending it isn't happening. This is an era where the fastest growing ideology is give fascism a chance. This is an era where anyone who looks like they're keeping it together is a loving lunatic and everyone knows it. The poo poo people do in Second Life is essentially what you'd expect to get in any era - people indulge their horniest whims because it's not like they have the resources to do anything better. You can moralize about it all you want, but it's gonna be boring and incredibly weird given the zeitgeist.
