I went to a new sim, Pinoy Hideout, earlier today to explore and look around. The sim was designed by the talented Neva Crystall. The owner of the sim is Lovelykitten Resident and there is also a photo contest for those that like to explore and take images.
Even though I have a somewhat decent computer, it took me quite a long time to get it all to rez, and even in these images, you can see that some of the ground textures are not fully rezzed. This happens to me in lots of places.
Then I logged in and went there using SL GO and everything rezzed right away, with no issues. Isn’t it funny that a mobile app works faster than my computer? I don’t know, I must be doing something wrong in my settings.
SL GO has recently started a “Refer-A-Friend” program. Anyone can earn $10 for every referral who converts to a paid SL Go subscriber. This offer is only good for a limited time, until January 7, 2015. I thought I would sign up for this program and share my link with you guys, but then realized that whatever money I earn from this will probably be spent on new shoes for me. So I figured instead of doing that, I’ll share Draxtor Despres’ link. He says the money from this program will be put towards the weekly Drax Files podcast. If you’ve never heard the Drax Files Radio Hour podcast before, click over to the site now and have a listen to some of them. They are very informative and help me keep up to date on all the events in Second Life and throughout the tech world.
Draxtor also did a little ad for SL GO recently which features himself and his son…and a Torley Linden right at the end! It was rather amusing as he played on the stereotype that SLers are all anti-social and don’t go out anywhere. Also, he’s got some serious skills on the skateboard! Click over to check out the ad on youtube, also embedding it below.
