I should actually, like, announce the new location, right?
Schadenfreude is now on Nautilus - Shahar.
I move super rarely. I've been really lucky with it- my first spot on the beach (like, decades ago, it's ridiculous) was because I ran into someone just randomly out somewhere. And then I randomly ran into what became the Starlusters somewhere else (at a totally unrelated beach!), and I've been tagging along with them for, forever really. Seriously, it's been a long ass time. For someone who considers herself kinda bad with people (yes hello, I am socially awkward and don't entirely "get" how to talk to people, but apparently I fake it decently enough? But I do far too often tend to avoid crowds, and people, and talking to people, more than I ought to, or even really want to? but meh, anxiety sucks), I sure do randomly stumble across people at just the right time, somehow. And while we moved a couple of times, it was always moving as a group (even if the group kept shrinking after it ballooned like mad), so believe it or not, this is the first time I've been "on my own" trying to find a place to move to.
And then! I wasn't even that this time, a mysterious (ok, not so mysterious, it's easy to find stuff out with About Land!) benefactor said "hey I've got this spot I'm not using, wanna go there?" and honestly it was super helpful, and also amazing. I'll probably find another spot eventually on my own like a Real Adult, but man, it was nice not having to at the last minute like I was planning. I need to relearn how to not sprawl all over the place.
And! It's on mainland, which honestly? Kind of cool. I haven't even been laggy over here, which is my biggest issue with mainland.
The current shop is *gasp* elephantless! until I get all that sorted out- I do plan on bringing back the elephant, but in actual mesh and not janky sculpts and kludged together interior (I've only been working on that for....a lot of years. An embarrassingly lot of years, but LOD at scale and collision is oof, not fun. SO I keep giving myself excuses). Also it's boring right now, like insanely boring, and I'll be doing...something to make it less so when I'm not trying to panic move and just figure out how to get things to a place and try not to give up in the middle because I really don't enjoy setting up a store. It bores me, I get so tired of trying to put things on walls, I just want to wander off and do something else. Also it's not very well organized, and it's not like it was very well organized BEFORE, so sorry about that. I should probably add more rooms and walls and junk, and maybe eventually I will, but the whole deciding how to deal with scale and cameras BLEH.
Some things did not make the move! Not a lot, mostly stuff that needs more body support or some sort of work on it for me to actually like it again, but some things won't be around in world. Most of it (maybe all? I don't know, I could have missed entire rooms, I definitely almost did, so, uh, there may be more missing than intended, no promises) can be marketplace'd, as much as I hate marketplace (and I do, both from the moving attention out of world and have you listed things on that? It's the worst), so at least it's somewhere, probably. Also landmarks? I have not replaced yet, so, uh, ignore the landmarks in vendors for a while. So tedious, that's gonna take forevvvvvverrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Seriously. I am EXCEPTIONALLY BAD at moving. Everything is a mess. I will need to actually get my shit together at some point but that point is not now.
I'll maybe start doing more with the Turnback Hill location too! We'll see. Right now it is the only place you can get the Dogtown shoes, which do in fact ALSO need to be redone for the bodies that people are wearing these days, I put them away and then went "oh well, I could put them out there since I let the ankle cheater ones go there even though I really want to tweak those for the new stuff too some day." I dunno, I have Plans for that place, but those plans also involve redecorating every so often, and I burn out on actually getting that done pretty fast. See: the chaos that is every single store I've ever had.
Collabs with hya have been moved to just on Chartreuse at our shared thing! We were able to get a few things rezzed there and oh boy is there a mess there TOO now (ugh, moving sucks)- MOST things that aren't on marketplace of hers are out there now. AND hya's gacha is back there also though lol right now it's floating in the air because I've gotta make the house bigger! I will sling things at walls better once I've enbiggened the house, which will be, I don't know, let's hope it's soon. Remember: hya can't really SL anymore, so buyer beware on those though, she can't do customer service. But honestly? I wanted access to some of that again since it's transfer and if mine go poof, I'm gonna have to go get them again!
And my knee hurts, but amusingly (sort of) not the one I fell on, but the OTHER knee that was my bad knee (from other falls, yes, walking is asking too much of my coordination). But re: fall, do not recommend scar tissue in the lips? It's really annoying and kind of awkward.
