    Wol hosted this session...


    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: hello ;)
    Wol Euler: hello curious! long time no see
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: cool character
    Wol Euler: thanks :)
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yes
    Wol Euler: how are you?
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: i was wondering anime sites here also
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: iam good
    Wol Euler: glad to hear it :)


    Wol Euler: anime and furry are related but different things :)
    Wol Euler: anime in SL tends to be recreating a specific character
    Wol Euler: furry is making a character of your own, which might look like anime
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yes,i like anime but furs can be weird
    Wol Euler: well, aren't all people a little wierd?
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yes,i like weird but in those fur places people are i dont know what therm to use
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: its like fur snobish
    Wol Euler: snobbery?
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: you have to look some way to be accepted,like i had some not good looking fur on me and people were against this,like i dont want to speak to bad furs
    Wol Euler nods.
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: they said i look ugly
    Wol Euler: there is that, yes, and it is much more open than in human-looking SL
    Wol Euler: how did you look when you were there?
    Wol Euler: like now? human?
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: it was so bizzare like coming from wolf in trousers and fox with the hat,lol
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: no,i had that basic fox
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: let me try to find it
    Wol Euler: yeah, body shaming in SL
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: it was similar to this but little bit different,head was smaller


    Wol Euler: furry in SL overlaps with real-life "fursona" in odd ways
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: its normal in rl or even inworld to have this body shaming but in those fantasy places,like fur or anime etc,then i find it very bizzare,maybe that is also connect to this trend in rl that its cool when everybody looks the same,before it was cool to be different
    Wol Euler: people who wear fursuits in RL tend to be very determined about furry in SL
    Wol Euler: I don't think it's about same or different, I think it's about the quality of the appearance
    Wol Euler: I hope you can recognize a difference in the quality of (say) my avatar appearance compared to that tiger head you were just wearing?
    Wol Euler: and the difference in body size and shape?`
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: of course,looks more sophisticated but i like also different people,creativity,when people make their own stuff,this is becoming more bizzare with this bento heads,everybody looks the same
    Wol Euler: there I agree, and I will never wear a mesh body as a human
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: i was in a couple of sites with these bento people,its really funny


    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: how is pab doing?
    Wol Euler: seems to be muddling along :)
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: are there any new members?
    Wol Euler: I don't know. Perhaps. I'm not in that particular loop any more.

    --BELL--

    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: spring is here and i will soon go again on pause till winter,now i came to pay my for my cottage,just a couple of weeks more and thats it,will you try with sl2 when it comes out?
    Wol Euler: of course :) but I won't move there permanently until I can take my appearances and clothes with me. Or until they close this.
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: i heard it will not be possible to transfer
    Wol Euler: I heard that too.
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: so it will be a new dawn :)
    Wol Euler: but I'm not too worried about it yet, since SL2 doesn't actually exist yet.
    Wol Euler: lots of water will flow under bridges before then
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yes,thats true and new worlds will arise with photographic reality,that will be crazy
    Wol Euler: I'm not so sure about that. The experience of online gaming is that photorealism actually SUBTRACTS from the enjoyment
    Wol Euler: but that may be due to gameplay, which wouldn't apply here
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: machines will work outside and we will be immersed inside. hm,i dont know,i dont play those high profile games cause my pc is too weak,but some vids i saw are really crazy,did i show you that paris unreal video?
    Wol Euler: perhaps, I don't remember the name
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: i talked with builder of Angel manor and he told me it will look like this in 5 yeras
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRqMbHgBIyY
    Wol Euler: ah yes, I do remember that.
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yep
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: of course humans will be hrdest to make to look real but,for 10 yeras everybody will be inside
    Wol Euler: I wonder how long it took to build and texture that apartment?
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yeah,maybe it can be researched

    --BELL--


    Wol Euler: virtual world design for games is (and always was) a tradeoff between what the makers can afford to pay people to build, and what the users need to see. I can't imagine a game in which the texture of the seam on the sofa cushions was significant in the gameplay, so I cannot see a game maker paying somebody to do that.
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: most of this builders in sl are or sick,or having some issues,some even misantrops
    Wol Euler: perhaps I am being too simple
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: everybody has his own things
    Wol Euler: perhaps :) but again, many people in RL have issues too :) and the builders whom I know are rather nice and sane.
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yes,but to spent this time in front of computer...you have to have time,special those high profile builders,also some are very mysteryous
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: its not good to be that much in front of screen,not moving,we are build like pigs
    Wol Euler shrugs. Those who do, do. Those who don't, don't. I walk an hour every day to and from work, and I don't take elevators. I couldn't run a marathon but I do think I'm basically fit.
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: i work outside and walk a lot but i have issues with my back,specially when i sit a lot,my nephew was a gamer from the start,after a long time sitting he also have major problems with his back,its a reality,we must move,some people probably dont have this problems,maybe they are made for this
    Wol Euler: sitting all day every day is bad, yes. we are made for movement.


    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: have you seen Agatha recently?
    Wol Euler: a few days back, yes, she came to a dance club. Didn't say much.
    Wol Euler: so she is still around
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: good,i must go,nice seeing you again Wol,see ya in winter ;)
    Wol Euler: heheheheh
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: ;))
    Wol Euler: take care, Curious
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: you too
    Wol Euler: enjoy your summer residence :)
    Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: i will,suuuun!
