Summer is almost upon us. A very hot day in the house yesterday, and the inside temperature reached 84F, I think, and was still at 81F when I finally got to sleep around 4 a.m. Today, however, it's cloudy, and there was rain. Today's high will only be in the 70s ( Read more... )

It is possible to be a furry and not be an asshole, I'd like to point out. Every subculture has its full share of idiots and wankers who make everyone look crazy or stupid or otherwise moronic, it really ends up being the cross you have to bear if you aren't willing to be savagely exclusionary and hold out a standard like "You must not be more of an idiot then this to be in our group."

I wanted so badly to enjoy Second Life. I wanted to learn to build Avatars. I wanted to have an area where I could just build. I do have friends there I can't see other places, too.

The drama and idiocy is overwhelming. Hell really is other people. :p

RE RP, have you tried MUSHes? Text base only, but it might provide more of what you want if you take a hardliner stance of "Who I am does not matter and I am not interested in anyone's stuff OOC. Let's play."

RE RP, have you tried MUSHes?

Sure, back in '94 and '95. Now, I absolutely need a visual interface. I could never go back to text-based rp, not after SL. Not being able to see the rp is what led to my abandoning text-based systems long ago.

And I will agree. I'm not judging furries for being furries (hell, I'm about as paraphilic and fetish-driven as they come), but for the unwillingness of those furries I encountered in SL to accept that some things simply do not mix, that the presence of their fursonas were often out of place, and intrusive, and that people were not wrong in saying so.

it really ends up being the cross you have to bear if you aren't willing to be savagely exclusionary and hold out a standard like "You must not be more of an idiot then this to be in our group."

Which is one reason I finally left SL for good. I am willing to be savagely exclusionary, as many saw. It's necessary, sometimes. I'm not willing to sacrifice the game or the ( ... )

I was sorry to have to leave the AI RP, since it seemed to have some promise. There were some quite good RPers in there. Unfortunately, my laptop decided that it did not like SL :P
