Getting Old

 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.

A Second Start

I'm nearly four months old; no longer newbish, but still a far cry from being anybody of consequence. I've befriended a few people, bought more digi-wear than a fashion-driven emperor, and even tried my virtual hand at a bit of design. I find myself at a bit of a crossroads, but that's not quite right. It's not the right metaphor, since it implies a both flat dimensionality to the experience, and that there is, should I choose, a way back to my origin, the place I lived before I ever had a Second Life. But there isn't, is there? I could simply leave, but that's not the same thing. Second Life, due to its sheer interactiveness isn't just a book, movie, or even video game. It's not even a proper simulator insofar as I understand the notion. But it's not life, either. At least not as we understand it. So I'm left adrift. Treading water, so to speak. I haven't got a direction, and so the currents just pull me. I suspect I'm caugh...

Counting backwards, I count you in

We design our virtual bodies, wear our virtual clothes, do virtual dances in virtual clubs. But the relationships, those are real. Real human souls interacting, emoting, and relating through this clumsy electronic medium. The dance may just be pixels on a screen, but when those pixels touch, it excites me. The words typed in chat linger in my brain.  So I come back for more. I stroll through your sim, listen to your music, wear your clothes. I return to this lifeless digital space to be with you. And yeah, it gets messy fast. Because once you transcend all the make believe, what is left is the real deal. Two human beings, physically distant, virtually close, and in spite of all that incongruency, connected. What a strange world.

Body Shapes and Proportion

I've been tinkering with my shape. Again. I'm not sure why, but I've spent a ridiculous amount of time tweaking sliders. Do other people do this? I dunno. Anyway, one thing that has bugged me for a very long time about SL is how hard it is to create a good looking avatar. A lot of the difficulty comes from the way that the SL interface is designed, but it's also due to the limitations of the model that SL uses as well as how the 3D engine renders that model. I'm not saying Linden Labs did a bad job, because 3D modeling is complex. They did make choices, however, and not all of those choices were to optimize the user experience. One of the first choices that becomes apparent is that the "default" avatar is SL's own stylization of a human figure. Legs and bodies tend to be taller in relation to the head, and prominent facial features like the eyes and chin are exaggerated. This isn't unusual in video games or virtual spaces, where designers are allow...
