   Oh god this in particular I have to pick at though. They have better rigging. They have better shaders. If you think you are going to see any of the super pretty stuff, at a usable frame rate, on an iGPU, then I have several bridges and a monorail to sell you. Better get used to those Quest-compatible avatars, because they're all that you are going to see.

   Hmmph. The current Wiki articles aren't what I'm referring to - but good point, there ARE articles. It would be easier to explain if I hunted down the threads about how LL doesn't plan on documenting it fully (unlike LSL).

   It's gave me more useful information about how LSL works and how to throw it together, than any other source. This is literally all 3D graphics. It goes way beyond SL and affects physics shapes everywhere. Linden Lab may be a bit "special" in some of (okay fine, most of) their implementations, but if you want to make content for realtime 3D, you need to know how2 convex hull, and why convex hull. This means maybe doing a bit of your own research. Outside of hardcore engineering simulations, if you are bouncing objects off other objects, you are using convex hulls of some kind. I did not say that. I used to run shadows off in v6 because the juice was not worth the squeeze. Kept ALM on though, because deferred rendering is lovely. In V7, shadow rendering is stupidly better. Bear in mind that we are talking about expecting people to run SL in anything above potato, using machines that make a Steam Deck look good. Yes, turning shadows off would be an improvement over "whoops, crash". I'm beginning to suspect that you are just making anything up to get a mic drop moment. Okay. You had your moment. Enjoy.

   Lua Alpha - Second Life Wiki Luau Examples - Second Life Wiki Wiki says otherwise. The wiki also deserves all the bashing it gets as most articles are useless or out of date.

5. Oh hell yes! -- Pet Delights!

   Oh yeah, I could make a gazillion dollars... for my lawyers! LOL naw. IP law is for rich people. Even in ideal circumstances, if they stole my play word for word, and if I could somehow fund a suit against a Lin Manuel Miranda production, even then, the chances of me making anything off it are basically zero. I'd be suing for recognition from a judge, which I honestly don't care about. My old friends from high school contacting me when the Daily Show interview broadcast last night is recognition enough for me.
