Apologies if this thread is dumb, but I couldn't find a lot of starter resources - the stuff I did find was mostly "How to get a 3rd party viewer" and "What are lindens" and "How to start making a decent avatar", which is all appreciated but i've exhausted it now.

I've made an avatar that i'm more or less happy with, for the time being, I've wandered around some of the mainland a bit to look around, and looked at one or two sims that were suggested to me, but i'm sort of stumped on what to do to break into the game more, if that makes sense?

I've started re-texturing a free bus I got, because I don't know anything about renting a home/land and assume it's a bit too expensive to drop money on before i'm sure I want to spend that much on SL, but I still haven't actually exchanged a single word with any other person on SL so far. Are there some groups I should join, or places I should visit to attempt to get a bit of a jumpstart on things, or should I just keep wandering around? I'm not a very confrontational person so I don't want to bust in to random places blind, unless there is no real alternative.

That depends: are you here for the sex, or not?

You are doing alright, but there is no alternative. Bust into random places and make waves to meet people.

Step 1: Make friends (eithr through fucking or just joining a group / rp sim)

Step 2: Give your friends map rights

Step 3: Ask friends to tp you

Step 4: Hang out with friends

Also join the /vg/ group, people usually hang some place and Daniel and Fred are always up to something.

There must be some way to narrow down what areas I should visit, right? I dunno, like, I guess common sense, but I don't really know where to look.

>>32606

Guess that makes sense. How do I go about joining said group?

Those are the /vg/ group officers, they're not random people you message out of the blue.

To experience SL like a normie mcnormard, you could do the following:

- Visit active clubs, and start winning avatar contests to get money.

- Go to roleplay sims (they usually host classes on how to use SL for roleplay purposes and how to get better, so they're generally pretty okay with newbies).

- Hit up flickr, tumblr, and/or wordpress with your screenshot skills. Network offworld.

- Hang out around a busy community sandbox and approach people.

- If you have some artistic talent, make texture mods, or start learning how to make 3d models to import. Having a store and making things is the most fun and fruitful part of SL, since it is a sandbox game.

I'm going to say that it is actually not easy to socialize in SL if you aren't looking for sex. You pretty much HAVE to start the conversation. If that's not something you're into, get in the /vg/ group and just ask for somewhere to go. They can hold your hand and show you a bunch of SL's fine tourist destinations, and it'll be fun, but you're not going to make lots of friends outside the group until you gain confidence.

By the way, is there some sort of dress code I should keep in mind for places? I don't want to get in trouble anywhere, or at least avoid being heckled if I can avoid it, I guess.

Makes sense. I should probably buy some pants instead of just having shorts and various sets of underwear.

as you continue to play you will discover SL is unforgivably fucking dull for a limitless cyberworld unconstrained by physical institutions

this is because the community is unforgivably fucking dull

This.

If you're not the kind of person who can make their own fun, you really shouldn't be on SL. No one else is going to pre-package an experience for you. If you want that, go play an MMO.

basically do you remember KiSS dolls? kisekae set system, used to be real popular with the mumbling mental specialists of the internet back around the turn of the millennium. the mumbling mental specialists of today use SL as a 3D that and not much fucking else. the number one most popular activity on SL is fucking standing around and watching your AO cycle

I guess this is close enough to a newbie question thread, so uh, to texture something, you just gotta upload the texture you made and put it on the thing, and then it's visible for everyone, right?

Newfag here, I'm having fun dressing like a slut and being lewd to fund more dressing up.

I don't have anywhere private to myself though, and I was wondering where I should go when I want to mess around with outfits and things.

I've just been searching for an empty adult space and flying off a bit, but I was wondering if there's something more appropriate.

Search for places tagged as sandboxes, preferably with low traffic since people there can be annoying.

Oh, also - if it's just for dressing up you can look like a slut and having your genitals hanging out just fine in Moderate land. Adult is mostly for sex.

Ah thanks, that's good to know.

Yeah, I was just searching for sandboxes usually and then sorting by traffic.

Thank you for your help.
