Discussion abridged, of looks and diversity!

Last Thursday, the discussion at LnL Square was about Second Life (SL) genders, shapes, and the reasons for creating our avatars in a certain way, our expectations and results. It was very interesting to see how diverse discussers' motivations were; some thought their personalities were the potentiating factor, others the experiences and places they go through. Some create a look and stick to it for a long period of time, others change it seasonally, and finally there were those who changed it daily, even several times a day. Often how the avatar looks is also determined by what we cannot have in Real Life (RL), while others decided to choose the exact opposite of what they were in RL. The group also debated the possibility of an enriching diversity in SL, often not used fully; for some, it was disconcerting, even annoying, that people tend to fall back into the same cliché looks. Paradoxically enough, realism in body size/mass is close to non-existent! The concept of “being different”, which should serve the purpose of putting an end to discrimination, doesn’t achieve that goal at all; avatars in wheelchairs, older or overweight seem to be the object of both indifference and derogatory comments. The discussion ended on a fun note with discussers showing several of their avatars! That is the essence of SL, to have the possibility to explore our wildest dreams and have fun! See you next Thursday, 2pm SLT at LnL’s Discussion Lounge, for a new topic and a fantastic group! The discussion is open to the grid, so come on over and share your ideas!

Bell of Firmament in Dalestra

Dalestra has been blogged in LnL's blog before and for a good reason. It's a very interesting sim that offers a lot of options for you to explore. This time, we are showing you The Bell of Firmament. If you arrive at the default Landing Point in Delestra, walk outside and look for the blue beam to teleport to the Bell of Firmament.

Or you can use this --> SLURL to go directly to the location. The Bell of Firmament is a device that renders constelations in 3D; it is capable of scaling, filtering and drawing connections between stars. It is a fantastic way to explore how the zodiacs could look like in space and to discover many of the others constellations. Its visuals are absolutely fantastic! Drop by for some fun and do share your experiences in the comments!

London at the UWA exhibit with his Perfume!

You are invited to drop by and visit the exhibit! If you like London's creation, do vote for him! Click ---> here for a teleport! Thank you. :)

Impromptu Party at LnL!

Fun, fun, fun! London decided to throw a party and we got to work! Everyone gathered in the LnL Ballroom for the first party in the new sim! The DJ, our own London of course, did an amazing job streaming a few oldies and a fair amount of in songs as well.

It was a great time spent in great company! And we are considering making it a regular event! What do you think? :)

Discussions summaries!

It was time! LnL's discussions are back! A group of familiar faces, and a handful of new ones as well, gathered to discuss the topic "Love, Sex and Videogames" in Second Life (SL). It was a lively discussion with extremely interesting points being put forward. We talked about falling in love in SL, which was pretty much the same as in Real Life (RL), although most were aware of the fact that there seems to be a strong idealization regarding the person behind the avatar. In SL, the primary focus is on the quality of communication rather than looks, yet it was pointed out that the way our avatar looks does reflect who we are. It is surprising how quickly relationships start and end in SL; this seems to be the norm, or not? Some mentioned their cases and explained that the process was very similar to RL's and not fast at all, which may have happened because there was no expectation of starting a virtual relationship. An intersting question came up, if a virtual relationship would not become, at some point, frustrating by not having the "reality" factor and the physical contact; some thought that it did depend on the way the relationship was "defined" by the couple, others defended that the virtual element per se could be a sad reminder that it is "only" an online relationship. The group also talked about the fact that it is very difficult for people outside of SL to actually understand an SL relationship; they can't fully comprehend how it could be seen as a full relationship without the physical element, yet everyone thought that SL relationships are very real and lived intensively (unless we are talking about roleplaying and sex for the sake of sex, as it happens in some cases). SL may be the place where many are finding their soulmate or maybe just a place to enjoy someone's closeness. sometimes relationships in SL become RL relationships as well. Other times, SL is a totally separate universe and people "play" within a character role. It was a very interesting and rich discussion! Join us next week, Thursday at 2pm SLT for a new topic amongst a friendly group of discussers at LnL!

As February is Love Month in LnL, this week's discussion was a continuation of the topic. London presided the meeting, of course! :) He kick-stared tings by asking whether virtual worlds were boring when there is no one to love. The replies went all the way from yes to no! Despite of being one of the most interesting things in Second Life, interpersonal relationships are only one of an infinite number of things that one can get involved in. Having said that, relationships in SL often end up in marriage not rarely with complex wedding ceremonies; discussers defended that the sheer possibility of that happening gives residents a taste of glamour and richness they may not have in RL. Now the unavoidable issue came up, what about relationships in SL where the partners are married in RL? The group feel that anything is aceptable as long as both sides are informed and agree on the terms of the SL/RL relationships; as it was pointed out, the problems start when both partners don't share the same perspectives and ideas. Jelousy is, in these cases, a part of the deal. The discussion then moved on to the aspects that make a relationship work in SL, such as honesty, kindness, caring, understanding, open communication, and certainly only having the "bright side of life" wit no daily stress, or dirty dishes to wash! One of the last topics the group addressed was the fact that SL relationships are many times fast-paced, quick to start and quick to end, probably due to too big expectations and the fact that is seems to be easier to break-up when not face to face with the other. Finally, the group suggested a few nice places to visit with your loved one or a friend or two! It was time to finish. SL opens the opportunity for either companionship, partnership or just gaming. Whichever the case may be it is important to be respectful and enjoy Second Life!
