You look at all kinds of everyday objects and wonder how many prims it must've taken to build.

Seriously, I do this all the time! Not only that, but I notice what would be classed as less "prim friendly" builds and think about how they could be made more efficient. Does anyone else do it or am I just weird?

(I think I know what's coming

)

Other stories welcome...

I have a formal outfit in SL, and all it needs to be complete is a black stick with a silver handle. The other day I was in town (in real life!) and saw a stick of that kind in a shop window, and almost entered the shop to buy it before I realised.

- You search your yard for the ban option for keeping the in-laws from visiting.

And for the M sim people:

- When you sit on a box and try to find a new sexual position with your SO. "Honey, lets tilt it 90 degrees and see if that works".

I do that Del, I also think what would need to be done in scripting to achieve something. Especialy with particles, when it was snowing I watched the snow to see how and/or what I would want to change to make mine look more realistic.

Its fun to look at a cloud in the sky and go "I could do that."

A couple weeks ago I was waiting in line at a store to return a monitor when I saw a table stacked with something, I couldn't quite figure out what. "No problem," I thought, "I'll just zoom in and orbit the camera around it."

I hadn't been in-world for more than a couple weeks.

Would be cool if I could really do that, though.

I was driving to the bank, when i saw a house with a huge Christmas display. This was 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. I am a firm beleiver that Xmas stuff shouldn't go up till at least the day after Thanksgiving. I was so pissed off, that I reached down to the side of my steering wheel for my mouse so I could neg rate the culprit. Of course, I don't have a mouse in my car. Or a computer.

I was driving to somewhere to get lunch, when I saw about a hundred 8.5x11 sheets of paper were scattered all over the highway and in the grass. Someone must have just lost them, as they were still floating around like a bunch of leaves.

Anyway, about an hour later, on my way back to work, they were all gone!

My first thought: Must have been temorary_on_rez.

heeheheh the other morning i was putting on my shirt and noticed a small rip in it- 6 months ago i would have tossed it aside thinking "that will only take a minute to stitch up"...
except this time the first thing that came to mind was "feh, couple clicks of the clone stamp will fix that."

and i never shop for clothes to wear anymore. i try, but just end up looking at garments trying to figure out how they could be best reconstructed in SL.
