1. How Does Your Avatar Look Today?

2. How did you get into this game and find it fun?

   You mean you're a builder and DJ in real life, since you only joined yesterday? You can be a bulder and DJ in second life, too, once you've figured out how that works within SL. There's indeed a learning curve, you'll probably have to get past certain thresholds to really enjoy SL, Me, I read about it, was curious, tried it out, eventually discovered that you can roleplay, for example medieval fantasy, and that it was fun to do that in a more visual environment and avatar than pure text RP.

3. AMD drivers after 25.9.1 break Second Life — is LL actively working on a fix?

   a fix is incoming https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/1pj3m4o/comment/o6haxad/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

4. Vintage search is back in the SL viewer.

   If you look closely you will see that it is the Firestorm search that Earnest shows. So the answer is, that Firestorm has already the two different search engines on board.

5. How did you get into this game and find it fun?

   Could you explain what you mean by figure pieces? Like mesh others made? If so you can buy full permission* mesh objects in the second life marketplace and use them in a build and sell it, yes! Or you can use the inworld tools to build structures out of primatives (cubes, cones, spheres etc) And yes you can texture things inworld through the build tools, ctrl+4 to bring up the menu. Also yes you can build anything you want and sell it for lindens that you can then convert into usd for a fee, but if you're coming here hoping to make a lot of money it's very difficult to stand out and get noticed, especially if you're using prefabs, and even then the userbase is rather small. Oh and if you were intending on using prefab models from sites like turbosquid a lot of them have in the tos no selling in SL so I'd double check all that stuff * SL has a permission system, items can be copy, modify and transfer. Full permission means the item has all 3 permissions enabled so that you can use it in your own builds and give it to others/resell it Before you go crazy and start buying lindens and random stuff, try and search for free stuff in the marketplace first, there's lots of gifts out there of varying quality that you can play with as you learn. Also Second life is super old and so the items in-game went through various stages, first there was only prims (stuff made out of the cubes, spheres, pyramids etc), then there was something called sculpt which kind of looks like blobby mesh, and now there is regular mesh 3d models. You'll find all three scattered about! Oh and finally, if you want a space to actually host your build (like have it available for others to visit without being autoreturned at a sandbox) unfortunately you gotta pay. Either by renting land from another resident or by getting premium and getting the land directly from sl. That's a whole other can of worms, but there's various subforums here for more specific building questions and land questions! Oh there is also an official discord you can get more immediate help from. https://discord.gg/secondlifeofficial
