    I came here to post just that…you beat me to it! It’s the most real RL/SL moment

    Posting is fun!!!

    Having grown up in Adelaide, I’d say that’s about right…unfortunately.

    Even when I was making skins and makeup and uploading a pile of textures, I still doubt I would have spent the equivalent of US$50 in uploads, and now that my creative spurts are more intermittent, I definitely won’t. And, truth is, knowing that textures have a real world value encourages...

    Nobody Cares About World News

    We’ll, I think hurrahs are warranted - they’ve had a cracker of a first week with a positive Quad meeting in Japan and a great start at repairing relationships with France & our Pacific neighbours. I know the next few years won’t be easy, but a Labor government with a progressive and intelligent...

    Birds are crazy

    Thanks, Isabeau - I was lucky (unlike those on the low side of the tracks and quite a few from my school community). We’re starting to get back to normal, but the weird and unpredictable weather keeps messing with us. Here’s another Lori pic to keep it on topic…some bury their head in the sands...

    Birds are crazy

    Birds might be crazy, but mine knows weather! (We’re having extreme rain & some flooding over here. Got woken by an SMS alert to be ready to evacuate, but we should be high enough though possibly cut off) ETA Lori’s first meme :giggle:

    How COVID-19 is affecting society

    Wow! That used to be my home town before I moved to the Sunny State. I’d never even seen a roo along the Linear Park, let alone making its way all the way into the city and up King William Road. But in typical roo fashion, it manages to threaten to jump in front of the one car that’s there.

    Nobody cares about food.

    Somehow, despite the drought and horridly hot weather, we’ve managed a bumper crop of mangoes. Probably because of that same weather, the fruit bats have been conspicuous by their absence, leaving even more mangoes able to be harvested. We’re in the process of boiling up a big pot of green...

    I Am Completely Confused By BoM

    Alpha clashing issues are annoying, and while BOM is meant to solve that, we’re still not there yet. I’ve has best BOM experience on bodies that have mod permissions, like the Ruth, but there are a few things you could try. If the hoodie is modifiable, check that its texture is set to alpha...

    Australia

    He finally gave in and has now opened compensation for volunteer firefighters, though initially only for those in NSW. Other states have to apply to take part. This is one of the things that is annoying about Scott Morrison, and why he’s deserved the backlash. He’s not been proactive in...

    Australia

    https://sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2020/01/03/a-statement-about-the-480-million-animals-killed-in-nsw-bushfire.html It is truely heartbreaking to realise the full extent of these unprecedented fires. This article i attached is just talking about NSW. Remember that every state in Australia...

    Making wearable items with an automatic pose

    Yeah, you’ll need a script for it. If you’re only using the one pose/animation in the item, then you could probably find a simple script for free - I think I found one by googling something like “animation script SL”. ETA: here’s a basic script with lots of helpful comments so you can learn what...

    Show us your meshes!

    I've had two weeks of school holidays, and while I should probably have been doing a lot of prepping for the coming term, instead I've been having a lot of fun meshing :) I'm starting to try some more organic shapes...this is my first attempt at a detailed flower, and I'm pretty happy with how...
