best summer outfit for a mare? any tips?
>Welcome to Baltimare. And now get the fuck out
>>42381631Being naked. I mean, imagine the heat. You'll feel a lot cooler wearing nothing at all.
>>42381609So all of these conditions must be true, right? Ok thanks that gives me a starting point
>>42381631Do the Fluffuls
lumi when oat bag empty
https://files.catbox.moe/hkwhj3.mp4
>>42381645I take baths with my popens, I'm naked with my popens. I sexo in front of my popens. I never be ashamed of sexo. My fren be sleeping I be making love in the fluffpile. That's me brah. That's how I get down around popens, I try to keep they purity. I don't want to take their purity away by covering myself up, then they're gonna be ashamed and cover themselves up and I'm pure at heart so you can think in your mind if I let a tourist here I'm gonna have to change the way I am so that the tourist can be comfortable around me? NO! I'm gonna be naked as fuck in front of the tourists. A popen comes up and clicks my bits. I let them click on my bits. I let that happen.
I got so fed up with the UV and topology of my mane I remade it myself completely out of scratch
>>42378619>>42378707>>42378874>>42378882>>42379038The Matrix is working fine. Postgresql uses 100% of my cpu because of all the requests and there's literally nothing that can be done except migrating the database to a different server or terminating accounts with high usage.
You don't see any responses because there were no responses. Your appeal is denied, and you can open matrix to verify.
>>42379038Rooms cannot be down in matrix if at least one user is in them. That's not how it works.
>>42381660https://files.catbox.moe/kfb1po.mp3
>>42381757wtf how can an account max out your CPU usage, what are they even doing
maybe terminating those isn't a bad idea then
ive noticed the matrix works but is super slow to load sometimes, element will sometimes periodically say "you've lost connection to the server", probably yeah the cpu at 100% doesn't help
>>42381750>I remade it myself completely out of scratchMy results are usually better when I have to redo shit even when I loudly curse and grunt all the way through
>>42381757Is there actually any new messages in the moderation reports channel? I cannot see
>>42354349 for example.
>>42381757>The Matrix is working fine.No, it fucking isn't. I haven't seen a new moderation report since June 25th, despite
>>42354349 clearly showing that there was one.
For a sec I thought Buggo leveled up
>>42381797I see reports up to July 14th. The problem is on your end, anon.
Although, what's your account's homeserver? I.e. does your full account name is gonna be something like "<username@matrix.horse>" or "<username@pony.cx>" or @matrix.org etc. etc., what's the URL there?
t. not rara but knowing this might help him, because maybe it's a problem with the server your account is on
>>42381681This seems like a Myrtle post.
>>42381832I wish Myrtle would come up to me and stare at me intensely while saying nothing while I try booping but don't get booped back, just more staring. This is my fetish btw.
>>42381824My full account name ends with ":matrix.org"
All I did was follow the link on the OP for the Matrix server, if that doesn't work then the link needs to be replaced.
>>42381847Ah I think a bunch of homeservers block morg due to spam issues, since it's the default server.
>All I did was follow the link on the OP for the Matrix serverThat link goes to element.io, which is the official hosted element of the web app, and generally the most reliable one to use.
What needs to be added is probably a guide to say "don't use the default server when creating an account, it sucks".
>>42381855NTA but what do I use then if not matrix.org?
matrix.horse is missing channels and pony.cx is incredibly slow and isn't connecting.
>>42381776Same thing that killed matrix.horse the first time. The server had to be completely rebuilt from scratch. Synapse is an awful Homeserver that, once you join a channel on another HS that is somewhat bigger with a couple thousand people, causes events to completely flood your database and annihilate it.
>>42381878There is no such thing as "missing channels". You can always join channels on other homeservers. As long as those homeservers are responding, that is.
New last names dropped but they all kinda suck.
I guess Spotton can be Spotton Goat now
>>42381983derpy.bubbles
but yeah a bit of a stretch
>muh names
Where's the fag that grabbed Princess.Celestia and then just completely ceased to exist? It's probably the most perfect pony name we'd ever get and after the initial meme he only ever logged in like once or twice more and now it's just gone.
>>42381994Probably a soff alt or something
>>42381994pretty sure it was another one of soft's two dozen alts. even posted about maybe making it the main but then didn't
>>42381994>>42382001Alt of one of the anons, but not soff. The owner is still around
Under normal circumstances, why would you even change your name?
I did once and almost no one talked to me anymore suddenly.
>>42382001>>42382005>>42382007I'm sure it was an alt but it's just unfortunate to nab the account and then park it forever.
Soff or not I hope whoever it is can larp as a princess more often, now that the account exists.
>>42381979Ok sure. If I paste the link to the moderation reports channel then it just says #baltimare:pony.cx does not exist. What am I doing wrong?
>>42382030The issue is that pony.cx doesn't work. So matrix.horse can never establish the initial connection to that channel.
There is a chance that someone else published the channel under their homeserver and you can join via that, but I don't think anyone did so/rara allowed that
>>42382021True.
I wouldn't mind Celestia showing up to events or just showing up to create some special situation.
Just showing up a couple times a year to do something retarded that is also memorable would suffice
>>42382037So why does it work for some and not for others?
>>42382041>Celestia inaugurating the new outhouses in Baltimare
>>42382045Because they are already in the channel/their homeserver is already connected to pony.cx and has the channel cached or there is moments where pony.cx actually decides to function for a few minutes.
Remember, matrix.horse was rebuilt from scratch a week ago
>>42382041I'll make a Celestia and then the universe will conspire against me to bring Princess.Celestia back. It's fool proof.
>>42382017Whenever I see a message in the group I get the IM sound and for a brief moment I'm happy thinking somepopen has IMd me but then it'd immediatly dashed.
>>42382129fuck I accidentally replied to post, meant to just be a loose post. Well well, I guess you got a free (you)
>>42382129Pretty sure you can define a different sound for group messages so you can keep them apart better
>>42381983Parallel Pop Bubbles
>>42382052So, what does one need to do to be able to see the Matrix properly with all its messages?

>>42383261ah right the matrix itself is on one of those servers so it's not working at all. bad luck

WHY ARE THERE POPEN SEX DOLLS IN CLOUDSDALE
>>42383896because it's quite lonely in cloudsdale
>>42383030I want to be a part of one but only if itโs an RP couple. A wedding and rings sounds cute but I donโt want the IRL homosexual business or stupid drama about kiss options in boopers and what not.
>>42384007>tfw wanted to be an rp couple but the other person took it too seriously and we had to break it upBe sure to make your boundaries clear from the start, kids.
>>42384019Yeah, that worries me, and makes this all but impossible. Too many would want it to be real.
>>42384019>>42384024I can enter a no strings attached silly RP relationship
alternatively you two anons can hook up
>>42384019I'd love to have a popen companion but I'm also really lonely. I know my heart would increasingly crave an actual relationship while my head would just go WTF, it's a man you're talking to on the other side! So that's why I keep staying away from companionships.
>>42384019>Be sure to make your boundaries clear from the startprenups never work
>>42383884>>42383885Camarea will return around 3pm SLT
>>42384057I mean, there has to be some stuff in common aside from wanting to do an RP wedding.
>>42383896pics or didn't happen
>>42384092yes hello we love ponies here, yeah? cute powy? is that not enough?
>>42383030Which one is your favorite?
I think Wasabi and Ginger are the cutest couple hooves down.
The problem with RP relationships is that at least 50%, if not like 90%, of the "game" involves talking over chat to a real person on the other side. If you're having a "pretend relationship" talking to another living being all day long, at some point it's no longer pretend, it's an actual relationship except while both of you are denying reality and pretending the virtual pony in the online world is real (and not the human typing on the physical keyboard on the other side).
The only thing approaching an "RP relationship" that can actually exist as such is literally just a couple of friends goofing around, not having any sort of commitment, but just LARPing relationship-like things just for the fun of having an event or something. Like some of the meme weddings we've had over time where a couple of ponies hold a wedding for the memes, RP the entire ceremony, but they're literally just doing it for the sake of a fun event and that's it.
Those actually exist, as evidenced for example by the meme weddings that have happened. But because there's nothing deeper about it, it's just a couple of friends goofing around and doing an RP for some scene or other, most people don't really call them "relationships" as such.
If you really want a long-term relationship where you larp as each other's marewives long-term, then you'll inevitably hit the block where you've committed to some kind of long-term exclusive arrangement with displays of affection and the like with what's effectively another real person, and it's a very tall task to keep a clear line and keep this up long-term without it blurring into affection FOR the other person.

>>42384136Pretty sure most popen couples are just best friends or are actually dating outside of sl. I agree with what you're saying but it's pretty common for best friends to partner and just talk about it for fun. It ain't that serious

>Structure the discord server channels to match the matrix
>Put the invite link in the OP from next thread on
>Literally all our suffering is gone
Its ridiculous how some generals already have a discord server despite not really having any function, yet the in opg, where it would actually be useful, anons refuse to use it
>>42384435no you dont get it anon discord is for betamale faggot cucks we dont want that so we make our own alternative nobody can actually use
I really liked the race course at Cloudsdale so I visited again to see if it has changed since I last went, there is now a leaderboard though it seems to have stopped updating my score after a couple runs. It's a shame this place is the way it is because it could be so much more.
>>42384435I actually get it because having a community discord could lead to less activity in thread and in world, which is bad.
Matrix sucks so much that it only makes sense to use it for management nonsense that wouldn't really fit in the thread or in SL
>>42384442this but unironically
the real solution is retvrn to IRC
>>42384457that's the only argument I'll really accept, I know for a fact if there was a discord I probably wouldn't go on the sim as much
in all honesty the reason I want a discord is i suck at talking on virtual hangouts cause it involves physically going up to people to start conversations and I feel awkward just inserting myself into situations
>>42384457>>42384464yes but you see it wouldn't be a community discord
it'd be a server for mod transparency and getting in contact with moderation
and event planning and possibly even just file sharing for sim related assets
no community chatter channels whatsoever, its only channels should be exactly what there is in the matrix
>>42384435The moment /opg/ gets an official dicksword, it will cease to be a SL-centered community. Anons (and non-anons alike) will just go there to socialize instead, because it's so much more convenient than having to log into the boomer sex sandbox. To say nothing of what will happen to the thread. Just look at what happened to /ptg/.
I'd rather wait for Rara to get off his ass and fix the Matrix.
>>42384435Just make a phpbb
what don't you fucks understand about it not being for the community and only being for moderation and sim planning shit
Some popens have d***ord server links in their bios. If you're that desperate for social contact, go find one.
>>42384475ok that makes more sense, at which point why not use some ticket system website
Where can one obtain this pass?
>>42384502something something websites and services owned by globohomo
>>42384458isn't the matrix already using IRC backend in some way?
The only problem I have with it is that I can't actually connect to it with an old timey IRC client, so instead I have to keep yet another fucking tab open in my browser, but, having it this way does means that when you connect, you can see everything that's ever been posted ever, much like discord, as opposed to each session being a clean slate like IRC proper
>>42384502a ticket system wouldn't have the same transparency that I'd like to see about mod decisions
>>42384515>transparency Hahahaha
does anyone know how to resync facial animations, my eyes keep blinking seperately
>>42384527on the op expression HUD, close both of them and then re select your eye shape
>>42384531thank you I'm not sure how I didn't come to that conclusion myself
>>42384527Click the circular arrows button in your Open Pony AO HUD then hit Update in the context menu pop up. This will resynch ALL your popen aniomatioms and this should be done regularly whenever you change sims
>>42384515You're not going to get transparency because decisions aren't made on technical facts and rules - they're based on a general feeling of whether people are a good fit.
The goal is a community where people have enough in common to feel like friends or at least acquaintances. People don't make friends based on checklists and technicalities
>>42384472unironically this
>>42384801Medium rare.
Wish I could show up more often
>>42384544The end result is favoritism that represents jannies and not the community as a whole.
I'm looking to commission some popen art but I am only interested in artists that will accept Lindens. I know a few threads ago some anons mentioned that they do accept L as payment. Can those artists share some of their work? I may be interested depending on your art style.
>>42384472If that happened I'd sign up just to make a Blingee forum signature
>>42384469Opg at its core has been a discord server for ages. Half the regulars were active in Gilded's server previously and most are active in about 3 different main discords now.
>>42384831I would point at myself, but I'm already drowning in work.
>>42384801The only rare part about me is actually showing up at the hangout instead of being at my parcel, 24/7.
>>42384514>isn't the matrix already using IRC backend in some way?yes

https://derpibooru.org/search?q=artist%3Asoff
>>42385047Asoff? But I want it on!
The chat relay stifles conversation and I believe it should be severely nerfed. There is no reason popens hanging out in a HH parcel need to be a part of a conversation happening by the fire and vice versa. Or another example: the wheel of popen game doesn't need broadcast across two sims. I know IMs exist but they aren't ideal for group chats. Add TTS and gesture spam, the chat relay makes communicating more difficult than it needs to be.
>>42385182Without the chat relay i feel like a significant portion of ponies would never leave the campfire out of chat FOMO which would suck because i want to see all our builds get used.
>ITT anons using software to socialize complain about socializing, request different software to socialize
>>42385182Fuck off, I like the relay.
>>42385194this is exactly why we have the relay.
we had people getting this kind of fomo when we first moved into the larger hangout, and normal chat coverage didnt cover the whole thing. you would constantly see just half a conversation going on when only one pony was in range and it was the worst.
>>42385182Whisper (just hit shift+enter instead of enter)
Group IM (select multiple names with ctrl and "send IM")
Go to a parcel
You have many options and you're whining about all of them
>>42385206I didn't say remove the relay entirely. Simply nerf its range.
>>42385182I agree. I find myself whispering most of the time I'm somewhere on the sim that's not in the hangout.
99% of the time I see ponies having their own conversations in various places and I almost never see anypony actually talk to each other over the relay. It feels weird.
>>42385182I think the relay should be more configurable in a per-user basis. Blocking someone else does nothing to affect whether you get their messages through the relay or not, which is part of what makes blocking so ineffective as a means of self-moderation. Each relay user having its own "mute list" and "preferred range" would be ideal, but iunno if that can be done without overloading the script's memory.
>>42385315That just means you spend most of your time with other shy uwu socially anxious people, and have learned to filter out the chatter
You have almost no way to know whether people are "talking over the relay" because unless you're in range, they're all coming to you via the relay anyway.
I agree, remove the relay. We've had it three years and its suddenly a problem. I can't stand it anymore, I don't know why.
>>42385324>You have almost no way to know whether people are "talking over the relay" because unless you're in range, they're all coming to you via the relay anyway.True but I'm saying this from experience: whenever I'm in a conversation somewhere in public land (but outside the hangout central area), and the conversation is not whispered (i.e. relayed sim-wide), I almost practically never see anypony from somewhere far away join in. Nor do I ever see ponies around me joining in on the hangout conversation elsewhere in situations like these.
You just end up with parallel conversations happening in local and ponies generally just talking to the ponies in front of them.
Is this the new threadshit?
>>42385326I have been half-whispering in local for well over a year now. I just never bothered to post about it in the thread before.
>>42385340>trying to constructively discuss some aspect of Baltimare that could potentially be improved>"threadshit!!!"Yes sorry Baltimare is perfect in every way and I will refrain from every suggesting otherwise again my lord
>>42385355Then keep whispering.
>>42385182I agree, I hate the relay but I've also never played SL before and have never been to Baltimare.
Does anyone have the Minuette mare stare png already uploaded to sl as a texture? If so, please share it in group notices please and thank you
>>42385194They already rarely leave the fire. Most builds don't get used regularly. When was the last time ponies gathered in the library?
>>42385454The library doesn't have a relay
>>42385331That's what I'm trying to convey here. The relay causes parallel conversations to occur and I rarely observe popens responding to something that isn't being talked about in front of them. I like the idea of having a per user set range. No idea if that is even possible on a technical level.
>>42385331I talk to people all the time over the relay, even from a sim away. So from a sample size of 1 I can scientifically say: your wrong lol
What are you expecting to see? Do you expect each half of a conversation to be carried by people in two different hemispheres? Because the actual upside here is letting people selectively get involved. If I'm semi-AFK on a random rooftop or in the middle of the street, I can still add to the conversation sometimes. And if I'm interested in being a more active part of the conversation, yes I'll move closer, because that lets me do gestures at people and so on.
tl;dr the benefit is not letting people carry on conversations from a mile away. It's about getting people involved at all.
>>42385464What does that have to do with the question of when was the last time you saw anyone hanging out there?
>>42385464NTA, but at least that's thematically appropriate. Don't want popen screaming to someone on the other side of the city in the library, etc.
It's nice we still have it, it's a cozy place even if it isn't a popular hangout most of the time.
>>42385493As a newer pony, I didn't know it was free to visit. It's on a private parcel which makes me think it's not open
>>42384827This. The point of transparency isn't to ensure that some specific constitution is being followed, but to offer the option for the community to have input about decisions.
>>42385712Baltimare parcels are generally fine to visit unless the owner (or sometimes not the owner...) is currently having sex in there or something
If someone wants to have a truly private parcel, you can put up banlines that prevent anyone else from entering, and baltimare's renting rules explicitly prohibit permanent banlines, i.e. you're not supposed to have fully private "no trespassing!!" parcels
>>42385725Open dialogue is important, but nothing we have now precludes that. A place to talk != being entitled to every fact of a situation, and if you are going to give input, it has to happen with that understanding and implicit trust. Otherwise, an open dialogue is less than useless.
>>42385712I like to break into popens' homes without checking who owns them to try and figure out who's it is
>>42385753>currently having sex in there or somethingJust more motivation for home invasion. Besides, how are you even supposed to know if they are? They won't load for me until I've entered
>>42385765General users of the community are entitled to all of the facts surrounding a ban except in the most extreme circumstances. You'll cite the durpy situation as if the exception is the rule, but it isn't. And for the record, I doubt most ponies trust the jannies any more than the general population.
>>42385820There are no facts when it's literally a vibe check or a "people would be annoyed by this person"
I'm thankful for smoking guns like "bigots DNI" because they shut up retards like you, but by no means should they be required for a ban - not least of which because it means it's easier for people to hide stuff that would sneak up later, and I'd rather people tell on themselves. As was stated here
>>42384544 the goal is people who feel camaraderie with one another, not people who align on x amount of specific rules.
If you disagree with that idea, then I can't say anything except you're wrong, will remain wrong, and have apparently been wrong for a very long time.
>>42385848No one ever argued for every imaginable technicality to be outlined as ban criteria, and you're showing your ass every time you run back to that strawman. The fact that your best response is "n-nuh uh you're just wrong!" says it all, really. Faggot.
>>42385848If you can't elaborate on what sort of behavior is annoying or antithetical to the community beyond "hurr vibe check", you might be the retard - which, you definitely are, but I think the real reason that you don't elaborate is slimier than that.
>>42385918Are you not arguing for the idea of more transparency, when they already classify this stuff under general rules? Janitors are not going to go into the specifics of how Asshole.Resident has been blackmailing people, or how Identifiable Person X, Y, and Z were pushed around by him, when a simple "2f" will do fine. Or 5f, if someone is just an annoying, obvious outsider.
They shouldn't have to qualify these things beyond what's already there.
>>42385182This is the most retarded, stupid, Chesterton's Fence level of argument i've ever seen.
>"The chat relay stifles conversations because it's annoying and it's useless anyways because popens chat in nearby most of the time!"Having a bunch of popens chatting within nearby range most of the time does not mean the chat relay is useless or whatever. The chat relay lets you KNOW that there IS a conversation happening in the first place. With popen gravity being what it is, most prefer to join in on the conversation with their avatars nearby. The only thing you'll accomplish by getting rid of the relay is making conversations incredibly disjointed and encourage even more cliques to form.
Also HH parcels are by default not connected to the relay. The owners of their parcels can opt into the relay by placing the chat extender in their parcels, which only THEN makes their parcel part of the relay.
>>42385964I disagree with you
>>42385964All parcels aren't part of the relay, not just HH.
t. owns a balti parcel and needed a relay
>>42385958Janitors SHOULD have to identify specifics, outside of the most extreme circumstances, because, again, "vibe check" means nothing and leads to janny favortism. More transparency does not mean requiring "smoking guns" or extremely specific technical definitions. There are numerous options between "lol vibe check" and endless beaurocratic bullshit.
>>42385949What slimy reason are you implying, anon?
>>42385986Not going to change, accept it.
>>42385986None of the jannies enjoy the shit they do, anon. If they're being vague, it's probably just to save their own mental health from having to invest more than they already do
If you knew any of them, you'd realize they go about this stuff with a resigned sigh. They just want to be stupid horses like anyone else, and when they do ban someone, it's usually started because someone else in the community sent in a complaint that warranted a closer look
>>42385989That once you define bad behavior in a meaningful way, it starts applying to ponies that jannies like, and some jannies themselves. As long as you keep rules vague and evocative, you can apply them whenever you want, instead of applying them fairly. The less transparency the better when you care more about the result of "what i say goes" than a healthy community.
>>42385997Case in point.
>>42386020>once you define bad behavior in a meaningful way, it starts applying to ponies that jannies like, and some jannies themselvesunironically based, we're not a public sim trying to "build a community"
rules for thee (tourists) and not for me (baltimareans)
>>42386020>As long as you keep rules vague and evocative, you can apply them whenever you want, instead of applying them fairly.unironically based, we're not a public sim trying to "build a community"
rules for thee (tourists) and not for me (baltimareans)
>>42386039 And yet several baltimareans were banned for no reason.
>>42386048Oh yeah? List them.
>>42386004This is obviously wrong to anyone who actually plays. Let's pretend that the position hasn't drawn in a pony or two that enjoys power tripping and flaunting their position constantly (it has).
The jannies who were actually anything like you described have already resigned. If any current jannies hate their position so much, then they can resign right now. They won't. There are more than enough jannies to cover the different time zones, and there are most certainly better options than a few of the current jannies for providing better coverage. No one is doing it out of some bitter duty that was thrust upon them, of which no one else could dare bear.
>>42386039That's cool and all but you can't actually define baltimarean (you specifically because you're retarded, I'm not saying it's impossible).
>>42386068Would you drudge up a list of checks and balances to decide who's a part of your friend group? Unless you're autistic and/or neurotic, I don't think so.
>>42386078The whole point is that this isn't raras personal discord you absolute mongoloid, it's supposed to be the sim for the /mlp/ community
>>42386088But it is Rara's personal discord. Especially if you wrong him and only him.
>>42386088Ok, and? How does that contradict what I've said?
>>42386094Because this isn't a personal friend group, it's a niche community in which every member deserves fair treatment. That requires more than "lol vibes" and next to no transparency.
>>42386063Or maybe they genuinely do feel a sense of duty and don't care about their own health/enjoyment enough to stop, but they still have limited stores of endurance for it
I can tell you don't actually know any of them as people, but I envy this idea you've built for yourself. It probably makes things very straightforward
>>42385958Right now, I can't see even those brief "banned for 5f" moderation reports, because the Matrix isn't fucking working. Can someone fix the fucking Matrix, holy shit.

>>42386117If they're sacrificing so much for their community, I know some ponies who would be great for the position that could take over for them.
Any jannies who arent in it for authority and e-status who want to give up their position, respond to me here and we'll get it started.
Of course, no one will, because you're wrong. Being a janny isn't some great sacrifice, and I can only assume that you are one by how incredibly hard you're throating your own cock.

Public chat is for pony silliness, Baltimare is for silliness.

>>42384136I've been in a situation like this before where the meme relationship began feeling too real, and it ended up really hurting me as I was too naive and attention starved to realize that my partner wasn't interested in anything deeper.
The person who rejected me was also, ironically, the only one i could confide in at the time, so it led to a lot of bottled feelings.
My advice is to either fully commit or avoid being in a relationship at all, as playing pretend WILL lead to heartbreak unless you are confident in your emotional stability.

>>42383831Red mare spotted
>>42388624Why is that thread so godawful?
>>42388216I have had this experience from the other end a few times, this could unironically be about me. A pony messaging me repeatedly and clearly wanting to become closer friends but I can never manage to properly reply. I try not to ignore messages but sometimes I've probably sounded dismissive due to not being able to make the time for a proper conversation
I wish I had infinite time so I could probably dedicate it to all my friends (and all the friends I'd be able to make with my new time). Sometimes I feel like I'm socially "full" and basically don't have the capacity for a new friendship unless I start neglecting an existing one. There are simply more awesome ponies that I'd love to be friends with than I can physically handle...
>>42388014I wanted to say this for a while but didn't know how.

This is it. If I take one more step, itโll be the farthest away from Baltimare we've ever been.
>>42388887>>42388897Light situation looks a bit like they're watching fireworks. Comfy...
Thank you for posting these
It all began when the mega-rings were forged.
Three trial copies were given to the immortal Unicorns. Just to check if they would survive.
Then seven were given to the Pegasus from Baltimare.
And nine, nine rings were given to the earth pony race. And, as practice showed, in vain.
The power of the rings was limited. Each ring ruled its own race.
And then a smart guy came along and messed everything up.
In the lands of the Luna's Empire, on the black mountain, the gloomy lord empressluna.starchild secretly crafted a super-mega-ring for thirty-three years. And into this ring he planted all his cruelty, all his malice, all his bad habits and everything else.
That's how it went.
Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!

>>42390981That anon is referring to the hoax meme of couple weeks ago
I'm trying a revision on this head shape but I don't know if there's a way to fix how shitty the normals look once uploaded.
>>42391004You might be able to work against the mangled mesh by kneading the normals in a way to steer against the issues but doing this will always be a ghettofix and may don't work at all for those running potatoes on minimal gfx. Doesn't help that a pure white coat makes issues stick out even more.
I guess to get completely rid of the issues you'd have to redo the entire head mesh but then you'd also have to redo the animations and weightmapping.
A whole lotta work for quite the niche mod since most probably prefer cute looks and that mod definitely makes her look a lot more mature/aged. Of course would be appropriate for a ruler but you have to think about if this getting blown into a time consuming project is worth it for a couple users who might want to use it.

>>42391035Yeah the problem with Celestia's head is that she has a unique model in the show so any solution like this is never going to look right, and making an actually show accurate head would definitely require redoing the weight mapping and even the animations. Luna gets away with it because her head is closer to the standard pony style so it's easier to ghetto fix it (I just use the femcolt head to get that slightly square-ish snout), but Nightmare Moon shares the same problem as Celestia.
I wonder if the "official" alicorn body, if HMart ever makes one, will address these issues.

But on the topic I finally got around to customizing the bits I received years ago but never used. Really not sure what color to go with, how much darker than the coat e.t.c.
Is it better for a shop to have consistent pricing on the mp and inworld, or do you like when stores offer a discount at the inworld vendors?

>>42391614LL takes a 10% cut of all marketplace sales, so I understand if vendors raise their prices on the marketplace.
>>42391614Discounted prices in inworld stores is based.
Even if the "money saved" is kinda laughable it's still a nice incentive to go online and visit the actual "physical" store. If you're terminally lazy then you just pay the lazy tax and make LL richer.
>>42391614LL takes a 10% cut on marketplace purchases. It makes perfect sense to me when there's a discount in-world. Given how convenient the marketplace is, I really wonder whether any shops actually make more revenue in-world than from the MP; I'd imagine it's likely the opposite and likely by a wide margin too. The MP cut is basically a "convenience tax" for allowing your products to appear in global search results rather than requiring potential customers to seek out some specific shop.
With all this in mind, a discount of a bit less than 10% can be perfectly profitable for the seller, encouraging a few more in-world sales which will still bring in more revenue per sale. It's a win-win. An exactly 10% discount is also nice but the counterpoint there is that in-world stores usually cost rent, so making a bit of extra L$ from the in-world store makes sense.
When the in-world item costs as much as the MP item it just seems like laziness. You could make more money AND save me more money, but no, you're either greedy or too lazy to bother.
>>42391655caspervend has fees as well
I remember years back there was the fad of lucky chairs or how they were called.
Basically chairs in front of or inside stores that had a rotation of randomly picked characters on them. If the character represented the first one of your name AND you then hopped on that chat you got free shit from that store. Sometimes worth several 100 sneedens.
It actually worked. It drew quite a few people there (including perma-broke me) and was great fun especially if you got something from the store you actually wanted but didn't have the monies for or didn't want to shell out that kinda money for it.
If I ever get myself a store I _WILL_ make a luckychair for it.
>>42391672How much? Also you can sell from a cube if you want to.
>>42391672Caspervend is more or less only needed if you want to be a professional seller who needs its functionality to easily keep track of sells for tax reasons.
If you never intend to cash out then you probably don't need it
Tetsu I also crave that feature so much you have no fucking idea.
Hence we all need to fucking upboat this
https://feedback.secondlife.com/feature-requests/p/change-sound-pitch
to get their attention
>>42391672>>42391693*caspervend has a 5% fee on the free version of the vendor
if you shell out for the one time cost of the full version there's no further fees and the lack thereof eventually pays for itself
caspervend is useful because you can push updates to products through it, and it keeps track of your sales, and additionally you can set up sales and group discounts etc for it
as an example, my balti vendors are actually discounted slightly from all my other in world shops, and I do occasional sales that are balti-exclusive, and that is all handled through caspervend, utilizing their website controls

>>42392806That's true. I still feel a little responsible since I'm choosing to list the products there, but you're right. It's assumed things are being sold there since that's their platform.

>>42392963>publicly announcing masturbation to micro/foot art.I don't know you're based or socially inept.
>>42392977Please DO NOT announce to the thread/sim when you are going to masturbate. This has been a reoccurring issue, and Iโm not sure why some popens have such under developed social skills that they think that a server full of mostly mare strangers would need to know that. Nopopen is going to be impressed and give you a brohoof (especially considering where that hoof has been). I donโt want to add this to the rules, since it would be embarrassing for newfags to see that we have a problem with this, but it is going to be enforced as a rule from now on.
If it occurs, you will be warned, then additional occurrences will be dealt with at the discretion of jannies. Thanks.
Have you ever noticed that popen eyeballs are in fact neither round nor balls
