The SL client’s performance is just inexecusable. I can play Sauerbraten at full resolution (1680×1050) with maximum settings on everything, and I get more than 200fps. Even in the laggiest levels of Sauerbraten, I get higher FPS in areas with little or now client-side lag!

On the other hand, Sauerbraten’s has one of the most heavily-optimized engines of any OpenGL application.

I think the main grid shutting down might be the worst and best thing to happen to SL. If it does happen soon Open Sim provides many an opportunity already to run their own sims for fun. It may not be profitable anymore but the creativity, development for fun and education (at least in the graphical sense) should long outlast the money grubber. And honestly I rather this happen. Never bought into the virtual world, our real world is decreasing in value well without any help it would be great to see the internet stay *free* as it can for a bit longer.

To the above, that is most likely true. Linden is turning into to an ol hag, and most likely won’t exist in 5 years. At least not with their continued attacks against open source and progressive work towards better clients. The last time they wrote about this they pretty much outlawed backing up your own content and continue to state their “interest” in your content. The boat will sink. And the real work is done elsewhere anyhow. This goes to show exactly how proprietary software companies whom continue to ensure the public of their continued efforts towards open source is genuine. It’s not, never was, and Linden wouldn’t know what it means if it hit them between the eyes.

I appreciate all the hilarious, it can sometimes be difficult deciphering these blog posts. Honestly I think linden labs wishes it never went open source.

(Sung to the tune of Monster Mash)

I was walking through the Lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
It was Prokofy – he was nude – as were several Lindens
And then when I looked down – I saw they were all riding Scion chickens
I thought to myself these must be delusions from my flu
But when I turned around – I saw that Phil was there too

It was the Lab
It was the Linden Lab
The Linden Lab
The place was looking pretty drab
The Linden Lab
But they say the break rooms’s pretty fab
At Linden Lab
It was the Linden Lab

@ the Alphaville Herald Staff

The Term “Game-Gods” should only be used to describe a higher power that is the supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the metaverse.

Since WE THE RESIDENTS have as many claim “Created Our World with Our Imagination” the term “Game Gods” does not really apply to Linden Lab. A more suitable term for the employees of Linden Lab could be “GAME TYRANT” best described as a person who has taken power by their own means as opposed to hereditary or power as outlined in a Terms of Service.

…What.
I join Second Life for three months, and the second my buissness starts actually making a TRICKLE, this happens…

…I’m seriously considering going back to Fizzadar and the Garrys Mod community. _._;;
