2. Preview of a Doom Yet to Come?

   To be completely fair, those off-the-shelf iGPUs that are actually capable of this are still - unfortunately - quite rare. You really need a high end APU to have the necessary iGPU for SL, it's rare enough that it's barely worth mentioning since AMD is such a small player in mobile and Intel have only recently put out a few chips that have an even better iGPU than the 760M+. Even on the latest generation of Iris/Arc Xe equipped Intel CPUs you have to have a high end one to find acceptable performance in SL, unfortunately. Anything less than Lunar Lake hasn't got it and even then it's the higher end models, same applies for Panther Lake. If it's not a 338H/358H/368H/388H with 10/12 GPU cores then it's not worth your time, the other parts are not enough. Most cheap laptops are sold with cheaper chips that do not include the powerful iGPU. Low settings still are not usable on the lower end parts unless you can tolerate <20fps even with low draw distance. This whole situation is so complicated for buyers that it's hard to recommend iGPU systems, AMD is just as bad with reserving the capable GPU for very few models only.

3. Merging Parcel Driveway With Linden Road

   I usually get the road prim's rotation value with object info (extended script info), match that rotation with my prim (the same Route 8 road prim if needed) and work from there. Here it might be enough to apply that rotation to a "prism" prim and then adjust the existing driveway as needed. There is apparently a little sharp edge on that terrain bump though, that might be too high for a simple flat prim.

4. Oh hell yes! -- Pet Delights!

   Is this the old meaning of "gifted" when it meant "smart", or the new meaning of "gifted" meaning "special"? For context, I've dated a lot of "special" people, but very few were "smart".
