If you have no idea, what I am talking about: It is a virtual reality simulation, which has been around for ages, has been a huge hype once, but is still up and running.
It's a place to be creative, to build, to craft, and it's also some kind of social network, but with no connection to real world data.
Another blast from the past, "Schizophrenia Simulator OST" is inspired by an ancient installation in Second Life (anyone here remember/still enjoy Second Life?). See, one of the things I was first introduced to in that particular "game"/metaverse was the Schizophrenia Simulator exhibit, which was made by some researchers into the illness to demonstrate what the subjective experience of suffering from the disorder was like.
I'm playing around with adding some sort of hanging platform (or maybe you'd call it a balcony?) on my Second Life house since I think that makes it look nicer.
It also makes it look like there's more space; I guess technically this hangs over land that's not mine but it's okayyy since it's just SL-owned.
Looks like there's a bit of a problem with putting this specific one on the top though. #secondlife
You know, I really don't understand the appeal for #SecondLife these days?
What am I missing? For me it runs like crap, everything on it looks old as hell, and so much of it requires monetary transactions. I also feel like I see a lot of furries using it to just do yiff clubs or whatever too.
At least with VRChat it runs moderately well (especially so outside of VR) and has lots of different activities that you can do inside of it thanks to Udon. Plus actually being in VR feels way more personal and connective I guess.
Il y'a vraiment un type de relation que j'ai découvert que les gens ont sur #ffxiv et c'est un peu comme #secondlife c'est de sortir avec quelqu'un très sérieusement mais tout reste uniquement virtuel. J'ai rencontré des couples ensemble et amoureux depuis des années qui n'ont jamais parlé d'irl. C'est du rp mais il y'a une grosse implication émotionnelle et le personnage qu'ils incarnent pour ce que certains m'ont avoué est préféré à leur identité propre. 1/2

#Facebook just sent me a friend recommendation for someone I only knew from #SecondLife many years ago. I know it's the same person because one of the photos was very similar to their avatar of choice back then.

Thinking about how I really like my #SecondLife house. At first I was kind of frustrated with trying to make something with the cliff in the way, but after I added some more shape and the waterfall, that was the last missing piece that made it click, I guess?
I should try and hang out with friends at it more and make more use of it.

A look at my latest project, Boho Haven. My client wanted something that felt comforting and stylish at the same time.
In designing a space I try and create a story. Who is living here? What do they do? For this design, the story I focused on was my client was an artist or collector. Her home was a reflection of those things. (Part 1)
