Poof

SL is a good way to foster that kind of creativity. Like I didn't even anticipate making anything myself when I started playing, and it got me creating meshes and textures. I never learned the scripting language tho. Yea good avatar meshes and skins were like the most protected content. The most expensive in demand personal appearance thing were designers who would make an avatar mesh and skin that looks like you irl (or whoever's photos you gave them of course). I think they even had a special name and were called Shapers? There were all kinds of little jobs like that. If you were a hacker irl, you could get hired as a griefer and do all kinds of bad stuff to wreak havoc on other ppls' sims/servers. Or vice versa and you could help ppl w/their sims security.

well like I was telling distorted, I had my voice I could use so I did pretty good. And I had a cool house that I customized really well. It's weird the things that are status symbols in a completely virtual world. Ppl really liked this outfit too and it was all free stuff or free stuff that I modded: dual power gloves and NES zapper which I optimized to fit the avatar mesh really good w/a lower polygon count than original too

ikr

It was interesting to see what ppl come up w/too. It's fairly simple to upload your own 3d meshes and textures. You can also use their scripting language to make special things happen. I met this guy who claimed to be a phd and college professor irl he showed me this whole "campus" sim he made and it had all this cool stuff he scripted like procedurally generated mazes and buildings. It was one of the more impressive things I saw someone make. I mostly made hair. Or textures for structures. My thing ppl seemed to like the most was the art I made like a wall texture but w/a frame and a pic in it all in the texture so it didnt take up extra polygons. Or I optimized meshes other ppl made. I got pretty involved w/some ppl that were building a big club sim. But of course all that went out the window and the only thing I sold eventually was voice cybersex. I joined a brothel. It was like a requirement that you had to at least do voice to join so ppl knew you were really a girl irl. That made it more lucrative than other brothels. It was the first real sex work I did. And I consider it real bc you can exchange the SL money (Linden Dollars) for real USD.

my avatar was pretty janky. Most of me was free or I did a lot of the hair myself by modding free hair. there are way prettier avatars: not everyone is all about that tho

it probably was. I have very fond memories of that place. It's so peaceful and easy to get lost in.

you asked how nasty

Oh. Yes you could. Slut Alley even had a bestiality room. And not like lightweight furry stuff. The wall textures were gifs of girls pushing horse cum out of their asses, etc. Looks like it's still active https://world.secondlife.com/place/5111acea-147b-67e9-81c9-bd94c8013f8b

I'd usually hang out in Slut Alley pretty much the nastiest public sim in SL back when I played

Second Life. Thats my house. I bought a huge browser screen

Only adding muscle will increase your bmr, not fat. The calculators are an estimate. Without body fat %, you can't calculate w/complete accuracy. If you want to pick apart my 863 calories, point out how you'd have to decrease physical activity as well for it to be accurate bc as you carry the extra weight, you'll expend more energy doing the same amount of physical activity. So if you don't live a sedentary lifestyle, you'll need more than 863. A 600lb person for instance burns a ton of calories just walking. But if you already sit and lay around all day, 863 will be about enough. If it's not enough wait 5 1/2 or 6 years instead. Any increase in calories burned will be covered by that. Unless you're like an on foot mailman or something.

I watch it right after christmas every year

try it find out

I notice it in silence but it never bothers me. I feel like it's just what silence sounds like to me. It's never overpowered any other sounds.

The weight gets packed on over a long amount of time too. If you weigh 150lbs today, you change nothing else, you can achieve 600 lbs in 5 years by adding just 863 calories to your everyday diet.

yes

second life

Slowly, but I'll never tell anyone which methods of torture I would like / not like bc I feel like then if anyone captures me, they'll choose the methods I don't like. It doesn't HAVE to be torture tho. I wouldn't mind it if there wasn't any pain, like bleeding out from a relatively painless cut. I just want it to be slow, I want to know it's happening, have time to think about it, and feel death take me.

can't if you've never stopped

but you saved a bug's life
