   Everyone quit posting. Now is the time to binge watch Schitt's Creek for the 27th time. All weekend.

4. Workflows Creators Use (Rigged Mesh, mostly)

   pax, a funny thing happened at this weeks content creators office hours. geenz linden said that you should NOT NEED avastar or any third party addon something or other in order to be able to upload rigged mesh to SL. and if you couldn't, then there was a bug. (i have also had experience trying to export figures (that i made!) from poser using the dae format, and as you know... it's all one big Hell No.) hmm. i wonder if he meant using gltf specifically? but you said you had trouble with that, as well. so you might want to pop in to a content creator meeting and ask about that, if you can make it. they are every other thursday at 1pm SLT see: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src=c_kphtklo9degke40dpk7nr6cclc@group.calendar.google.com slurl: https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hippotropolis/71/172/29 thank you, everyone who shared or commented :) as for offloading parts of the workflow (like marketing, ugh)... i tried shopping for a manager once. i got so many cold calls from so many type-a personalities, i ran away :/ how would one even know one could afford a manager?? or to hire a marketer?

5. What's secondlife's real population - Summer of 2025

   To be fair, GTA is considered to be the most controversial series in history. The original 3 games (actually, kind of all of them, really) were constantly attacked for glorifying violence and illegal activities. Players didn't take it that seriously from what I remember and yeah, they found/find it fun and hilarious, but some of those outside of it weren't amused. I played the absolute hell out of the first three games and Vice City. It all got pretty old for me after that, but that "overdone-ness" didn't stop people from continuing to freak out about it, and San Andreas had the whole Hot Coffee scandal and GTA 5 isn't free from that type of drama either. The difference now in 2026 is GTA isn't doing anything we haven't already seen out in the world before. We're so used to most of the themes and action and violence and sex in those games, and really, most people don't care much about it. It's also been redone and copied a million times and it inspired a bunch of other games. With a good chunk of Second Life, it's pretty much the same. On the basic combat violence side, it's actually pretty tame here and I really don't hear many people talking about its general adult content and whatever minor kinks they find/found here. If you read or participate in enough conversations with people who are completely outside of the current SL sphere (either former players from years ago or people who never tried it but know it exists), what makes them uncomfortable is SL's perceived population (oh they're all weirdos in there!), reputation for harassment/stalking incidents that aren't taken seriously in their view, and its extreme violent/sexual content that used to be far more visible than it is now. Things that lean more than vanilla tend to really freak people out. Mild kink gets a pass and that's been teased in a lot of games already (the Yakuza series is known for doing that), but what I've seen former SLers tell stories about is the stuff I've personally run into here myself, too, and yes, that is not something you could EVER stumble into in GTA or other games unless someone's brave (or crazy) enough to mod it in. Also, I still can't get the logic behind pushing the adult side without going full 18+ and at least giving the appearance that the place is trying to be adults only, and that's something else that some people aren't quite fond of here and doesn't help its reputation as they assume there are sus reasons for that.
