So, I've been in Second Life for 17 some years, and have enjoyed being my true self for some time. Recently, though, an old friend from SL who dissapeared got back in touch with me, and sent me over to another virtual world, Resonite, to check it out.

It's impressive! Way more complex than Second Life, but also somewhat isolated. There's not the kind of "grid" you'd get in SL, where one region links to the next, links to the next. It's all individual worlds. It's hard to be social, when you're isolated.

But if you find a spot, though, it's like Second Life of Old. Khyle sent me over to the Creator's Jam, and oh, my goodness, it was like 2007, all over again. A ton of people, all working on stuff, and the moment they knew you were knew, they walked you through EVERYTHING. I've gone from "how the heck do I look around?" to "complex linkages between components and prims" in about three days.

Would I leave SL for Resonite? Not really. I love SL and that's my home. But for a "spa day at a resort?" Sure, I'll pop on every so often. Especially once I find an avatar that is more "Jenn" and less "Dollar Store Princess Zelda."

Also, I'm apparently the only human in an entire world of furries...although there is one centaur out there....
