Nobody Cares - Second Life Is Weird AF

[Caete]

She was so above feedback - wasn't prepared to see her gift to the grid form other peoples pov.

She wasn't also prepared to utilize land tools for her own parcels. Rez was enabled and autoreturn turne off. I know some people who would pop around to her 'gas stations' every couple of days and make sure the prims were all used. That stopped the cars from those spots for a while.

The otoolemobile situation was always kind of sad to me - because deep down at the very bottom of it, there was a good and even admirable intention. If they'd been done right, little automatic cars going by on the Linden roads every once in a while would actually look nice and almost nobody would mind. Except for the griefer I encountered, not many people seem to have a problem with the tour pods; but hardly anybody liked the otoole cars. They were just executed poorly enough to create a nuisance. I bet even something as simple as making them phantom maybe wouldn't have made them perfect but would've made them a whole lot more tolerable to many people.

Hmmm... An 80 years old expat Aussie with a mind as sharp as a razorblade... I'm not sure even a nuclear bomb would be enough to stop a person like that.

She did listen to feedback from one of my alts (whilst totally ignoring my others) and was always friendly and helpful. We got the route across my land sorted out with no problems and she also was quick to respond when I told her about problems I stumbled across elsewhere. I once asked her why her cars handled so badly and she said she thought they looked more realistic that way. I suppose that makes sense to somebody who has lived most of their long life in New York...

She did love to provoke though. She rented a cottage from me for a while. I run a themed area with a low lag policy and she was always careful to push her build there exactly to the limit. Totally adorable. ^_^

Then she suddenly vanished and considering her age I suppose we can make an educated guess why.

Second Life is full of ... colourful ... people (although not nearly as many now as there used to be) and yes, they can be annoying. But they liven up the place. If I have to choose between boredom and occasional annoyances, I take the annoyances any day.

What I read about them on the SL Wiki phantom would not have been an option. In order to roam free they most likely needed to be physical. I think nowadays with LSL having more options this thing could be pulled of with some scripting tricks, but in my scripting adventures I have not dabbled with the world of roamers and physical world interactions so far.

Then again the idea of roaming cars makes not much sense to me... it's not like LL gonna move official roads very often, so programming a route would be totally possible.

I've discussed this with both Anne and Yavanna (the creator and owner of the Yava pods) and both told me it wasn't that easy. Yavanna actually have to reprogram the pods almost every day to keep them running smoothly.

There have been times I have hopped on a random Yavapod and gone on tour. It's been fun!

That's a really fancy fanny pack!

Yeah but I bet part of that daily tweaking involves dealing with the griefing objects.

When the script that attached fire particles to the pod and orbited it did the "shill" thing in chat, it spoke using the pod's name, the same name all of the pod's own chat had been using - but the pod's genuine chat was italic, while the griefing object's was not. Afterwards, the pod itself when giving the name of the owner of the griefer object, said "you may have seen chat falsely appearing to come from the pod" or something along those lines. It gave me the impression there's some back-and-forth going on in the present.

Merchants who still require you to take out an item and rez it on the ground and use copy to inventory are lazy assholes. There is no reason you can't make the item attachable and have it give you a folder.

Bonus points when they make you unpack the demo in their no rez no script store.

Welcome to the food court event? Don't forget Duckie's great "food related" item... dental floss they claims to be underwear...

 

[Caete]

After the house tour event, I went to a club to dance and forgot I wasn’t wearing shoes. A little while after I got there, a man IMed me and said my feet were hot and he wanted to suck on my toes. I quickly put on shoes and thanked him and said my toes and the rest of me are taken.

Was he from Florida?
