more Second Life dorkageness

[egypturnash]

I know I know I know everyone does this when they get these things going. But hey! I managed to start to figure out how to make crap like insect eye goggles and t-shirts and stuff! And saw some other interesting things. I promise I won't post an assload more of these kinds of things, honest. Also, I think I'm doing this to avoid really sitting down and thinking about the fact that the next piece of art I do and put online will have about 400 people looking at it, when I roughly estimate live LJ accounts watching me + live DA accounts now watching me - secondary accounts + people who don't watch me in ways that are as easily tallied.

I went to visit protocat in one of the furry enclaves.

I met someone who had a pretty happening drider costume. It animated when she walked and everything. There's a red hourglass on the underside, but you can't see it.

Behold my new label. "Jackbooted Thug Mechanique Thirty". And my happening Toy Spider t-shirt. I think I'm going to keep the "Mechanique" name rather than see if it can be changed.

I find this thing just demands attention in a way a muck doesn't. Partially because even idle, it's sitting there using 70% of my processor power...

That game looks so cool. :O How does it work/where do you get it?

Go here for all the details. It needs a lot of computer to actually work worth a damn; mine is far too slow, and the framerate is hideous.

Kill local lighting. It easily trippled my framerate with +3 people around. Alas, it also looks less pretty.

"Hmmm," I said, looking at the list of checkboxes in the prefs, before I actually connected. "I think I'll turn these off. It says it runs slower with them on."

I still get low, jumpy framerates. It's just more than my machine really has the CPU for.
