Second Life Bits and News 2014-22

The Memorial Day holiday is over in the United States. I’m back and staff is back to work at the Lab.

Servers

This week there are no server rollouts.

I’ve seen a couple of comments about unusually intense griefing. But, I haven’t seen it happening in my travels, but SL is a big place. I know there are some places that get lots of attention from griefers. Other regions like mine seem to seldom see a griefer.

I do get noobies coming from a landing hub that get trapped in my house and can’t figure out how to get out. It is sort of like having flies in the house… they fly around bumping into the walls. Continue reading

Fabulously Free on Second Life Boobies

Hemi Violet

I am sort of pleasantly surprised by the answers to a question in the Fab Advice column. When the advisors were asked which are the best boobs and butts, only one had answers. The others have little experience with add on boobs and butts and theirs spend most of the time in inventory. See the full article here: Fab Advice #15.

Skyler refers us to Big Boobie Babes. This is a site that keeps up on the latest in Second Life™ boobs and butts with reviews and release news. They also have a blogroll of other sites covering boobs and butts.

Verotic Muscle Skins and Appliers

 

I do see more and more clothes coming with appliers for the various add ons. I have my Slink hands and love all the nails I get. But, I haven’t gotten into implants… yet. I do like my smaller breasts. But, I do like the nicer shaped ones too. So, I have thought about … having some work done.

WARNING: NSFW… past the fold.  Continue reading

Oculus Rift and Sex

Sinful Robot - A project Designed for the Oculus Rift

Sinful Robot – A project Designed for the Oculus Rift

You had to know this was coming… no pun intended. I think it is basic human nature to wonder how sex would be with or if… and add your whatever here…  It’s like which is more fun peanut butter, Nutella, or chocolate syrup? And if you include an ice cube and …

So, the question has to have run through some minds regarding how sex would be with the Oculus Rift. A lot of people seem to play the game of ‘breaking in’ new things. When I first thought of it I guessed people would be dodging when Tango Lolas went by.

Well it is not just running through some minds. A company in Irvine, California named Sinful Robot is developing a ‘sex’ game for the Oculus Rift: Sinful Robot is hiring people and moving ahead in developing an erotic game that will have as its basic quest as sexual gratification. AND this has been in progress for almost a year. Nobody told me…  Continue reading

Second Life Griefing 2013-24

Every release of the viewer and server software has more fixes to stop griefing. But it is an escalating problem. Sort of an arms race.

A recent casualty appears to be the Pornstars group. It seems that group is going to close because of griefer infiltration. It will be replaced with a new group:  The Sexiest® : Pornstars click the name to find the group.

You may be unexpectedly ejected from the group. That will be the group closing. There is some hope this may be avoided. But, that depends on whether the Lab helps out.

Many are hoping the coming Group Ban Lists will help with this problem.

#SL’s Zindra Business Interview

I got interviewed by Ginette Pinazzo. She is a strongly opinionated mover and shaker in the Adult Content community. I met her when I started to attend the Adult Content User Group meetings. I realized she had opinions and knew Second Life™ history. It wasn’t long before I realized some people like her and others seem to detest her. Others just don’t understand her. But, are any of us really understood?

From Ginette Pinazzo’s SL Feed November 2012

Ginette and I talk every so often. She is active in the Zindra community and adult content in general. Her interests seem to extend beyond those confines as she is often working with the art community. She is often talking with and sometimes hammering on the Lindens to make things better.

#SL Adult Content Problems

I used to attend the Adult Content User Group (ACUG) meetings. Some of the most fun people were there. But, IMO Viale Linden pretty much killed off the user group. It was pretty much dead by the end of 2011. There are resident groups that organize their own projects on the adult continent. But, they little of the Lindens.

Now a year since the end of the user group Voodoo Redek is trying to get the Lab to change its stance on the ACUG or at least help out with the griefing issues in the adult continent’s Zindra’s Vortex Help Island/sandbox. Viale Linden is gone so there are possibilities things are changing.

The Zindra Help Vortex is one of the sandboxes where volunteers help new users and those wanting to learn about building in Second Life™. Of course it has an adult content lean, but that is not a requirement for those using the Vortex.

The Vortex has been having more than its share of griefing problems. The volunteers are tired of filling Abuse Reports with no apparent effect. Voodoo finally got to the point of saying something.

You can learn more about the Zindra Help Vortex on the Vortex’s site.

You can read Voodoo’s article here: Message from Voodoo 10-05-12

Members of the Adult Content community are trying to get something organized with the Lab to improve things. We will see what happens.

 

 

New #SL Zindra Event

The Zindra Expo group carried an announcement today:

NEW EVENT IF YOU OWN LAND OR BUSINESS ON ZINDRA
Attention all Zindran landowners and business owners…….if you own land / business on the adult mainland, whether its a club, store, role-playing sim, etc, anything…..Zindra Expo group is planning a very special event that can benefit your publicity and Zindra in general. This is a very humourous activity, and we are working with artist Silene Christen to plan it. Contact Ginette Pinazzo for details. ALSO, if you know other such landowners or business owners, spread the word!

So, if you have shops on the Adult Continent, Zindra, this is a chance to get some publicity.

Adult RP 2012 Postponed

Nikira Naimarc sent me a news release on the Adult Role Play 2012 event. It seems it is being postponed. While I think it could be an interesting event, those sponsoring and participating as the movers and shakers have to be excited too. There also has to be enough of them to pull off such an event.

Events like SL9B takes a bunch of work and money. It can be far too much work and money for one person. The more people involved the easier it becomes. That is sort of what is happening with the Adult RP 2012 event. There is also considerable financial risk. Event sponsors will want some assurance of a successful event that has a good possibility of returning their investment. Such assurance is hard to come by with first time events.
