I Play Second Life

I just went in for a small amount of time to take a couple of pics. But will be doing more. I use to have land in Second Life or SL. It's a lot more fun to be able to make the place your own by landscaping and adding things to bring it to life.

These pics are of my avatar in my Linden Home, it's supplied when you have a membership, which you don't need to be in SL. Just gives me a base to start and end from and to be able to rez things.


My avi at my art table:

And relaxing by the fire:

Mind you, the fire isn't the best on this fireplace, but I got it cheap and it takes up little space. It works for me.

For me? SL is an escape from the realities that I won't be able to do the things I use to. Like go dancing, or horseback riding, or dirt biking. I can get dressed up or down, I can go surfing again, even if it's only on a screen and in my mind.

Now before some of you start to rag on SL or the people that are in there. Understand that it's anything you want it to be. It's what the community make it. All content is made by the people in there. The places you visit, the clothing you wear, the things you can buy, all player content. That being said, we all know that online worlds are full of all sorts, just like SW, so if you get some pervs here, yeah, you'll find them in SL. But you find some great people there as well.

I know this is long, but still. The place is not for losers, though I'm sure there are some that would be called that there, but it's a place to meet just like here, but interact in a 3D world, one with wonderful and odd places. You don't have to go anywhere or do anything you don't want to.

Anyway, just thought I'd share. Thanks again for taking the time to look.

I was actually on SL was it was still in beta. I was deeply involved for years when it was still cranking up and getting off the ground. I always enjoyed my time there and I try and pop on every year or so at least to see how things have updated and moved on.

@Pherick I've been off and on for the last 10 years, this is my second avi, because of drama during my first run. But I really enjoy it most times. Getting over something that happened in there recently and trying to make it better again.

@MrPerditus1 I know people who got very very deeply involved in it. I never did that myself, though thats more my approach to online life than SL in particular. Its always interesting to pop back into it after a while, see whats there, whats gone and whats changed.

@Pherick When I first started, I got way into, maybe bit too much. Took a break, created a new avi and started over.
