In honor of Halloween, I thought that I would share some of what I think are the scariest things in Second Life:
- Lag – I see gray people! Which is better than seeing balls of mist. Which is better than seeing Ruths. Which is better than not being able to log in at all.
- Getting profiled by WTFug or the Fashion Police -- This is a near constant worry of mine because of my penchant for wearing the first thing I can grab out of my inventory (even if it is a chair or a prim baby) plus a pair of tennis shoes all of the time.
- Bling/Body oil/Bling + Body Oil -- Shiny doesn’t always equal sexy. Sometimes it just means tacky and/or unwashed. (Hmmmmm...since I don’t wear bling or body oil, maybe the Fashion Police will just let me off with a warning.)
- Griefers -- There’s nothing like a bored asshole to brighten your day.
- Not being able to log in at your home location -- Depending on what (or who) you were doing at your last log out, this could be quite embarrassing.
- People with statements akin to “I am proud of being a bitch/S.O.B.” in their profiles. Run away! Run away!!
- Mandatory client upgrades -- Scarier still? Bugs in mandatory client upgrades.
- Minors on the adult grid. Nooooooooo!!!!!
- Voice – Yes, sometimes voice can be scary. If you have ever spent any time at
- Prim addiction -- It creeps up on you. Slowly. When you are not looking. Then, POUNCE!! It has you in its evil clutches!!!! Mwahahahahaha!!!
- Ever increasing tier fees necessary to support your prim addiction. Eeeeeeeeeeek!!!
- Out of control, unsorted inventory. ZOMG!
WOW!! I hope this list doesn’t give you nightmares. But just in case it does, you can always sleep with the sun set at midday.
