Another wanderer in SL hailed me to wish me a Happy Rezday. They were impressed that I've been around for 17 years, as if I needed a reminder that I am old. The intention was in good spirit though.
But seriously, 17 years. That's a long time to be playing a video game, and yet... something keeps me coming back. I still enjoy wandering about, taking the odd photo, meeting an odd SL denizen now and again. And these days, most of them are truly odd, young and old alike. No offense if you're reading this, but if you've been around for more than a few years, you know what I'm talking about. The oldest people are pushing 40 in RL, if not more. Fucking boomers, the lot of 'em. And the new kids are just weird. Like, what are you doing here? Go make friends, see the world. The real world. When the aches and pains of age set in you'll be thankful. But anyway.
Yeah, I'm seventeen in SL. I never played on the kiddie version, so you do the math. I am old. I never would have thought it would hold my attention that long.
So to celebrate, I decided it was time to put a new head on my shoulders, literally. A Lelutka head. Not that there was anything wrong with the old Catwa head, but it was feeling a bit dated, and all the kids are doing Lelutka now. I think. Maybe.
Regardless, I like the new look. I mean, I look pretty much the same as I always have, just with more pixels.
