As I wander through SL, I seem to gather a whole lot of screenshots that go into my screenie folder and never see the light of day again. And a thousand tiny incidents take place, and I find lots of really cool things to share, and I never write about them because they aren't, by themselves, worth a whole blog post. So I figured I'd pile them all into one blog post, and...well. Be done with them!
So first of all; remember my cat? (If you don't, click here - here!) I logged in a couple of weeks ago to find that my cat was nowhere to be seen. I searched the whole of my house, and my surrounding 'garden' - which is empty, apart from a tree and a very small patch of flowers. When I couldn't find her, I started to panic. How had I lost a cat - a virtual cat, no less, that was tethered to this patch of ground?!
You can see her name there, over the hedge! |
Because the damn thing was hiding in my hedge. In the hedge. The hedge I had assumed was solid. My friend Croon found her for me - but then I couldn't get her out. A whole lot of cursing later, she came out of her own volition. Damn cat.
Other than that, she's doing fine. She grew some more, and after a software update, she now has more cuddle options, and my inventory doesn't get filled up with cat-toys everything I play with her. That's good - my inventory is full of all kinds of random things that would need a post of their own to explain, let alone catalogue!
Friends again <3 |
After deciding that I needed to get out more, I went to Torley Island and found these really cool pieces of giant origami...
I know Kitti isn't tall in SL terms, but wow! |
...and whilst I was there, I got to sit in another really big chair - and you know how I live for that!
Really big chair! |
...and I was then given a really cool add-on type thing that allows you to defy gravity and walk on the ceiling!
Look Ma, no hands! - and no strings! |
The add-on was given to me by Laertes, with the intention that I could use it for roleplaying scenarios on his new shipyard at Botany Bay, but so far all I have done is walk around my ceiling a little bit. The funniest thing was that when I activated the add-on whilst still wearing my animation override, I spun around in circles. I have absolutely no idea why that happened, but it did make me giggle. Sadly, I didn't get a decent screenshot, but I do have some game capture software on my laptop, so maybe I'll utilise that.
I've also been doing some building - which, after my first post about building, I'm sure you cannot imagine. It took me so long last night, and I found the whole thing so fiddly...but I was getting pretty tired of having to throw up a wall everytime I wanted to make my own background for my screenshots, and the wall wasn't the prettiest thing in the world. So I tried to build something a little cooler, and a little more discrete. I'm not really sure what to say about them, so I'll just plonk them here.
By some miracle, I managed to put this together. |
Applying textures :) |
I couldn't work out why the walls were darker than the floor - |
- and I could only fix it by making the walls glow XD |
The end result! |
After a little more playing around with the textures, I managed to make the outside of the build glass. So you can see in, but, as you can see from the above image, you cannot see out. Cool, huh? Well, I thought so.
Not the best screenie, but, I tried. I'm learning! |
Well, that just about concludes my loose ends post. It's pretty much tied up, and I think I have sufficiently overloaded this post with images. There is one more thing, however.
Does anybody remember a time when the girls' bathroom at Necronom VI wasn't out of order?!
>.< |
That bathroom's been out of order since 2009. FACT.
ReplyDeleteIt was in use before? Or was that when Necronom was built? :P
ReplyDeleteIt was when I joined SL, silly.
ReplyDeleteI meant to say that Laertes gave me one of those things too. It was... disconcerting...
