I have always detested the *click* *click* *click* sound of some high heels and would secretly curse the women stomping around Second Life while spreading such noise pollution.
That was until today. There I was, innocently waiting for the Lucky Santa at a silk shop to change to a letter 'T', when I discovered a brand new annoyance. You have not lived until you have stood next to a girl from Gor whose every move elicits the sounds of chains shaking. For Pete's sake - she didn't even have any chains on - she just made the stoopid sound.
I never imagined that I would welcome the sound of clicking heels.
But it made me think, too. What are the lesser of evils in Second Life? Are giant face lights a worse offense than bling? Do I roll my eyes more when someone has a ridiculous AO or when they tp into the room in a cloud of hearts and other poofy things? Does a person talking about herself in the third person more off-putting than someone typing in text speak? What is funnier on an avatar: a watermelon ass; a teeny, tiny head; or arms that are too short? (BTW, the correct answer to that is 'tiny head'.)
Ah....we SLive in a wonderous place and it is such a luxury to have the kind of annoyances we have in order to live here. So, shake your chains, slave girl - I'm gonna go turn up my face light.
Merging the right information...

Lately I'll take bling over a huge face light because I run around with a bright windlight setting and facelights can make it almost impossible for me to see anything. BUT, I've learned how to turn off attached lights, so ... yeah, I guess that argument is pointless. Um...nevermind. LOL
For the love of GOD..please let me know how to turn off attached lights?
Also, way I handle those cheap clicking heels? Make this comment in open chat: *SCREAMS* at the sound of those shoes.
Works every time, just as with talking fetuses (or is that fetii?)
SunShine - Go into the Advanced menu (ctrl-alt-shift-D if it's not already open for you), and I believe under Rendering (i'm not in world at the moment to check), look for the "Attached Lights" one. No more facelights!! You can also turn off Attached Particles, so no more of those "BLAM! I'M IN THE STORE!" particles that some people seem to have going everytime they TP in and out of a place.
I think this only works if you are running the latest viewer, or the release candidate viewer.
Yup, it's Advanced>Rendering>Attached Lights (and also Attached Particles is right below it). If you don't want to see them, make sure there is NO X next to the name (an X is yes turn it on)
I love this feature, btw. no more crazy facelights screwing up the lighting!
Or turn off the blingtard if it's buggin ya! woot woot
Ok, I can do the bling, the face lights, the other talking stuff, but PLEASE do NOT have your pregnant tummy talk to me. I don't care that your on vitamins, you have gas, your nails are growing, the baby is flipping, or what ever. If you want to have a "baby" in SL that is great but PLEASE do not share it with me.
Oh, did I vent there? I'm sorry. So sorry. Have a good Christmas everyone.
Oh babe, I want to get me one of them talking fetuses/fetii. I will wear it proudly everywhere :-)
