MOVIE NIGHTTonight we're watching Weapons (2025), with the season finale of Ducktales for the preshow. Get on those cushions!dl: we . tl/t-urovhqFL6069FMja
some human avatar dude in some random sim I visited today asked me if i wanted to be his fleshlight.stay the fuck away from humans they're all junk
>>43321084
>>43321223>>43321032I wonder what windlight Balti used back then. It had way lighter colors and looked brighter on daytime compared to what we've been using for a while now. The windlight we now have is kinda weird in the way that even daytime seems kinda dark meanwhile the other one from 2024 was way more cartoonish bright/less dark shadowy and worked better with popens imo
>>43321228Yeah the old windlight makes ponies look a bit less 3D with the lighter shading
Also this is one of my favorites of 2024
>>43321228We didn't have PBR back then
Bring back the colorful style to the sim
>>43321233Oh and this
>>43321253this looks like straight out of a cartoon
ngl sl with pony looks kinda tempting but i have seen too many youtube sl troll videos
>>43321256join us anon. do it right now.
>>43321256im going to troll you if you don't make a pony right now

I see humans in SL as ayylmaos. Shrimple.
>>43321256what does a second life troll video even look likeis it just rezzing annoying shit?
>>43321182Oh, usual time of course. 11AM SLT.
>>43321219hhhh
>>43321410Nta but I find these ones where they mess with normie RPers to be pretty funnyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaTYFs380rI
>>43321256RPers are easy to make cringe out of in any mediumAlso SL human avatars are ALL absolute dogshit, almost no exceptions, and the human population on SL is extremely weird - you've obviously got your degenerate furries but SL has a unique demographic consisting of actual 50-60 year old boomers and normies, who are obviously extremely easy to trollPony in SL is basically completely unlike the rest of hyper-normie SL, and Balti (and the couple of other /mlp/-related sims, though they're mostly empty) is also unlike the rest of the pony sims honestly
>>43321256>>43321429>sl troll videosReminds me that one of those guys actually visited us in 2023.https://u.pone.rs/monfdrlw.webm
>>43321477STRETC THOSE GLUTES FLUTTER
>>43321429>>43321481Anybody remember that one field trip we went to that had some kind of a Chinese airplane and some youtube streamer and his entourage happened to show up at the same time?
>>43321477The funniest part was that originally he came for the cringe and making a Youtube troll video but started to genuinely enjoy the experience. He sometimes still visits for a couple minutes (usually not longer because perpetual tourist status I guess) like one or two times a year. He also kept his word of not promoting Balti on Youtube and so the big tourist flood didn't happen. Chill dude and I kinda like him.
>>43321490He should've visited LE for that
camarea knows what (You) did, anoni forgot the go-pro until after i'd already inked it whoopsie
>>43321499I think he went there at some point and didn't enjoy it as much if I remember correctly
>>43321503Giving me strong >son I am disappoint vibes
>>43321477i miss these days
has there ever been a steam punk themed event?
>>43321477Does anyone have the webm of THE Daniel visiting us, too?

Movie tonight, "Kandagar" (2010)3:30PM SLTShowing in HH
>>43321228This is due to a combination of things but you can start by going into your graphics preferences and switching your tonemapper from ACES to Khronos Neutral and then fuck with the slider until the contrast level is to your liking. Then after that you'll want to increase Reflection Probe Ambiance to 3 (or whatever looks good to you) so that it has more of an impact and everything is made a bit more vivid.It won't look the same as before because of improvements to lighting and shaders that can't be reverted, thankfully.
>>43321228Try Alchemy
>>43322033While that might help, the windlight that is used now is drastically different to the one that was used before. It's not just the introduction of PBR that has made things duller, it has been made duller intentionally. I have one of the older windlight setups and the daylight is drastically different. The 1.6.1 Windlight I have is colourful and bright, even the night is relatively bright with it being more purple. The 2.5.1 windlight that I have which is relatively more recent, I'm not 100% sure if it's the one that's applied right now, that one is quite dull.It's not just hindsight being more colourful.
thoughts on the yellow flopper?
>>43321219I would say yes, if any anims existed. Could be funny.
>>43321081They sometimes go on unannounced, extended breaks, although this break is much longer than any prior it feels like.>>43321231Sili is such a cutie.

ANIME NIGHTTonight we're watching more Fullmetal Alchemist! The immortal army arrives at noon SLT so do not be eepy!!
>>43322103THISEven back then there were days when a windlight was chosen that looked really close to what we have on now. It was mostly two that were chosen. The one with the very light shadowing was kinda rarely chosen I guess because it wasn't that liked by the weather jannies. You could often see this after events that needed perma-night. Then someone noticed the night was stuck and switched to daylight cycle windlight in those cases often the light one. THEN someone noticed it was the "wrong" windlight and switched to the one that looked kinda like the one we use regularly now.
>>43322715Oh I just realized.I guess the light-shadow windlight usually doesn't get used because the nights are unnaturally bright, almost daylight bright with no dark spots where there are no lamps.So while the days may look nicer with brighter colors and friendlier, the nights are kinda fucked up because they don't get darker than at daytime so the lamps have visually no effect which sucks.
Why the fuck do all y'all niggas keep referring to lighting settings as "a windlight" when Second Life hasn't used the Windlight system since before /opg/, and even if it did, it would be called "lighting settings" not "a windlight". It's like me referring to this post I am making now as "a 4Chan"</autism>
>>43322721The ones really caring about daylight cycles are oldfags who have been in SL for way over a decade
This is still one of my favorite pics ever. Thanks to whoever made it
>>43322721The post you made would've never been called "a 4Chan" at any point in historyIt's more like calling Firecrakcr "Tea"
>>43322721a windlight is a set of environment settings you can pick from a dropdown menu
>>43322738Windlight is the name of the lighting engine (that is no longer in use) but it feels like I might be the only one here who knows this.
>>43322721It's a historical term that clearly stuck, and I've seen everyone use it in the context of SL so it's not just this thread. Historical terms sticking around long past the era where they're physically accurate is extremely common, consider for example tinfoil or tin cans.Also nobody ever called the website "a 4Chan". It'd be more like calling it "4chan" during the few years we were living in 4channel.
>>43322748>the few years we were living in 4channelhuh... when did we change back? i never noticed until now.
>>43322753lmao, it's been a few years again
>>43322740I always thought the common use was a shortened form of "Windlight setting"
I'm going to post some fourchannels in the opg subreddit
>>43322721It's not just us, you can go into the mp and search windlight and get windlights for purchase.
>>43322721cause everyone knows what that meansin game theyre just called "settings" and thats super confusingsomeone should make a pony named Windlight
>>43323049That would indeed be a super cute name. Bonus points if aspects of it went into the design

Has anyone else noticed that new Marefort sim nearby?
>>43323649Noticed, but apparently it's closed access.
>>43323661There's no way to get any information without a landmark right?
>>43323649dont go there theyre making mare cheese there and its stinky
>>43323683You can click it on the world map, select "Copy SLurl", paste it in chat, and then click the hyperlink to pull the place profile. However, the place profile will show it as (N/A) as long as you don't have access to the sim.
>>43323693I'm breaking into the mare cheese factory.
>>43323649I have it on good authority marefort is owned by a pony from balti and will eventually be open, but probably not within the next couple months>>43323693wtf anon we trusted you with access don't fucking leak shit

Random popen shoutout in forum>I think that for new players it can be really offputting to see that mtx/spending money are the main activities in a game. Again, though, this is a user created world and the users themselves could create free, fun things to do if that's what the users valued. The communities that are thriving the most on SL are the ones built around creativity and giving out assets for free. The MLP community for example has a free, very high quality and easy to customize body. Anyone who wants to participate in that community has no barrier to entry the way anyone who wants a human avatar does.>not to mention the very nice 1500L credit to a store to get yourself some goodies to customize it with....https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/533265-three-points-of-failure-that-are-plaguing-second-life-at-this-point-in-time/page/13/#comment-3065784

>>43323991I really hate Second Life as a platform and I just know it's going to die one of these days, either to enshittification or nobody being interested in it anymore. It really makes me want to make a Second-Life-like game that is just for ponies. I know that's a near-impossible task, with so many hard to answer questions, though, and nobody would end up using it even if I somehow made it overnight and it was 100 times better in every way.
>>43323991Khajiit is a /slg/fag. I wonder if they have an alt in Balti.
Inspired by an old fuckability tier list chart I once saw in an old thread: Which popen(s) do you want to fuck but haven't yet? Why do you want to? Why haven't you done it yet? I'll start. Reasons are optional, you could also just use this as a chance to name drop a popen and let them know someone is horny for them.>Who?Ploiky>Why?She just seems like a fun mare who would probably be fun in bed too and watching her get brutalized with flank slaps does something to me.>Why haven't you?I don't put my cock in ponies that I don't know very well, but I don't think we have much in common as an excuse to get to know each other.

>>43321081The Lamborghini Diablo was developed to replace the awesome Countach. And it got the job done superbly. Sleek, ground-hugging styling incorporates the unique upward-swinging doors made famous by the Countach. Diablo bodywork is constructed from steel tubing, aluminum alloy, and carbon fiber, to create a rigid, lightweight structure, which contributes towards the car's startling performance. Located amidships is Lamborghini's superb 5.7-liter V12 engine, with 529 horsepower on tap. Expect to take less than 4 seconds to hit 60 miles per hour, and reach top speeds of just under 210 miles per hour. Semi-active suspension makes for very agile handling, and Formula 1-style Brembo disc brakes stop the scenery blurring on a whim.
