"I am nothing without pretend." (Rez Day 7)

So, this is sort of weird. But bear with me.

In October 2011, I left Second Life determined that I would never, ever return. I'd made that promise to myself many times previously, but I'd never managed to keep it for more than a few months. I was always, without exception, driven to that point by idiotic drama created by other inhabitants. Make no ( Read more... )

Happy Rez Day! There are certainly worse places to be than New Babbage, and not just in the virtual world...

Thank you, and yes.

I have never actually tried SL. I am both tempted and wary...

Wary is advisable.

Oh, very nice place you've set up there. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in SL. Feel free to drop by my chess club, The Queen Alice Chess Club, if you're ever in Winterfell.

I've been in New Babbage a few times over the past few months and it is amazing how much it's grown. And I love how much attention they've given to their underwater areas. It is a great place for a submersible. Happy Rez Day.

We were amazed.

That looks like a good place to visit. Reminds me how much I enjoyed reading the Parallax journal.

It's still out there....somewhere.

I used to spend a lot of time in SL, and stopped for entirely different reasons; I now sometimes think fondly back on aspects of it and the temptation to go back is there, but it hasn't been the time for me to return and that's no bad thing. But for all the ups and downs of the world and its incredibly problematic atmosphere, the ongoing creativity of some of the builds is breathtaking. That first picture is particularly evocative.
