anyone here plays this?

No. 49106

I used to, mostly because I really like dress-up games.
I had both a male and female account so I could make a perfect kawaii lolita girl and dreamy bishonen tarp.
The lolita was actually really fun & challenging to outfit because most of what Second-Lifers consider 'lolita' is pure utter burn-it-in-a-trash-heap ita shit. The guy had more of a visual-kei type vibe going on.
But I kind of got turned off by the game because 99% of the userbase are hideous mid-life-crisis types hiding behind their enormous pixelated tits/muscles, Amazonian stature, and ~sexy~clubwear~ attire, so my relatively proportionate/cute lolita really didn't fit in & nobody would talk to me because I wasn't dressed like a hooker or a punk.
And the people who did talk to me were mostly interested in whether I would perform some kind of bizarre incest roleplay with them because they associated the fashion with the fucking book.
Oddly enough, when I played as a guy, I was fairly popular & actually made a couple of friends. That was fun until I got a gay stalker who, admittedly, had a really nice house & gave me money a couple of times but also wanted me to cyber with him constantly. goddammit. I just wanted a cool environment to carry out a vampire roleplay or something in.
The people who acquire virtual 'families' and stuff on there are sort of odd and clannish as well, I had a few interactions with those.

it's worth mentioning that I never actually cybered with the dude, because roleplay sex is difficult and gay roleplay sex with avatars making robotic/repetitive motions in a 3d bed would be even more disconcerting. I always faked my internet connection fucking up just before he ever got the goods.

I still play it and have pretty good avatars and monster avis I made. However what bothers me in this game is the amount of freaks and how many people freak out. Like anon said before most players are stupid tall, have huge muscles or giant ass and titts.

I walk around in a normally proportioned male avatar and most people will scream "Child avatar! You are not 8ft tall with giant muscle!"
Or of course you get the sexually repressed or hyper active people always trying to grind up to you.

The furries on the game look adorable I will give them that. But they have huge complexes. If the fur is using an all mesh avatar they like to think they are the hottest shit ever when in reality they spent 5 bucks to look the same as every other furry

Played it a few times.
I mostly hung out at Korea1, as it was apparently a popular place, but everyone there was insufferable. (Maybe it was just bad timing, i dont know)

Ended up quitting cause I couldn't find cool people to chat with. I must of been looking in the wrong places. Maybe I'll research more and give it a second try.

Also, the exaggerated avatars were good for a laugh. Nothing like seeing some furry with balloon tits and bulging, fat thighs.
Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

I used to know a few people who literally lived on second life. To the extent that they would wake up, log on and sit there glued to the computer for 12+ hours. One was a DJ for a virtual clubs and the other two were photographers, which meant they took screenshots and edited them in photoshop for any gullible retards willing to pay. All 3 were furries but also super goffik vampires.
One ended up being 18 and living with a 40 something year old dude in Michigan who she met online at 15 and the other two are obese shut-ins.

Same. There were so many creepy old people and basement dwellers everywhere. It was all "ey bby wanna fuk" or some pretentious spiels about why they're failures in real life.

I hated the big boob look, so I would go around as a regular sized, kinda skinny female character. Didn't deter the creeps.

It's too bad, if it weren't for the userbase, this would be a really cool thing.

I still play it and occasionally make mods for furry avatars. I love creating shit and being a qt furry but goddamn, I agree with everyone else in the thread about the userbase. I've come across a guy who wanted to be vored by Marilyn Manson and a horse pretending to be intellectual while talking about wanting to sniff my avatar's crotch just to name a couple of recent experiences.
The family roleplayers who treat second life as their actual life are probably the most surreal unsettling ones, I've had too many spanish ladies scream at me while talking to their pretend prim baby.

as someone who's young and relatively attractive, it's weirdly ego-boosting to know that some people spend a shitton of money to pretend to be young and relatively attractive and fulfill their masturbatory fantasies as such.
the sort of pitiful part is that everybody's fantasies seem to involve wearing hideous, tacky clothing, being as tan as the collective cast of Jersey Shore, and possessing massively disproportionate it-hurts-to-be-alive physiques.
Like, can you imagine the back pain that some of those female avatars would have to deal with constantly? yeesh.

I am starting to believe that the majority of the real world is just grotesquely lacking in taste, which is why we need games like Second Life to hide them away from society and funnel their efforts into their computers.

Except then I stumble across a really nicely decorated shop that someone spent hours and hours making, and I'm like GODDAMN WHAT IS THIS MYSTICAL UNICORN GOD OF CREATIVITY AND INTERIOR DECORATING WHERE'D YOU COME FROM HELLO SAILOR

I just went spelunking in youtube trying to find the particular documentary you're talking about and I got waaay off in the weeds.
on another note, second life trolls are some of the most inventive and hilarious that I've encountered so far. this is beautiful 10/10 highly recommend

Holy shit this is insane.
I don't care even so much about the adulterers or the fat lady making her 3d houses and sexy avatars, but the guy with the little girl avatar took the fucking cake. I had to watch his spiel about the 'suicide bombings' three times to really fucking grasp it. He doesn't even seem insane, it just seems like he's trying to fake insanity to excuse the fact that he's into ageplay or something.

This and tbh, I don't really blame his wife. There's obviously huge issues going on, and his solution is just hide.

I have no idea how or why Second Life got such a huge mid-life crisis following.

I feel like the people who spend a lot of time on Second Life are the same people who you find at 7/11 at midnight sitting in the parking lot playing scratch-off after scratch-off while smoking a pack of cigarettes. A bunch of middle-aged losers with no aspirations in life so they make a shitty roleplaying game the center of their universe.

Second Life videos have introduced me to Monster Factory and, as someone who spends literal hours on character creation screens whenever I play a video game, I am deeply appreciative of this.

I don't know about everyone else but I more so make a business selling content on SL then play it. I've actually made a great deal of money off of it to help with tutition.

But yeah there are freaks on there, besides most fellow content creators most everyone on their is socially awkward in general. I thought about just leaving but the money is too good
