  • But how do normal people just keep talking in a conversation that has no gaps? I’ve seen it happen, the conversation stays on a topic but there are literally no gaps where you can start talking. It’s like they know when it’s their turn so they can immediately start talking when the other person finished their sentence. And they know what the other persons last word is.









  • This is a really unfair comparison imo. Second Life is all about expressing yourself. And you’re not buying Linden Labs approved corpo collaboration bullshit feat. DJ Music. You’re buying stuff someone else made, and they get paid for that. You build a character that is a digital representation of your inner self.
    In Fortnite you buy a skin which is just the current hot flavor of the month. But also: It’s a action game. The goal is to shoot other people, meaning that you obviously do not spend any significant amount of time looking at yourself. And when you look at others, you do not admire their skin, you use your neurons for tracking them.
    But also also: Every skin is the same. So when you come across Hatsune Miku, it will always be the same one. These skins aren’t a representation of you, they only signal that you like whatever media they were collaborating with at the time and had $20 lying around you didn’t need.

    Naww give me Second Life all day any day.


  • Honestly the skin prices is what confuses me the most. I don’t get how a company can remain in business with these prices. Welp… guess they can’t?
    And the worst part of it all is that even if Epic closed doors tomorrow, the damage is done. I’ve seen $20 skins in a bunch of games now. Paid games even. These absolute fucks normalized this shit, and now the poor devs get to reap the rewards of fucking consumers up the ass.
