IBM Sucks Too… or gets sucked… IDK
Malignant Narcissist @ April 3, 2008 # 3 Comments
Since Linden Lab can’t get the first Second Life right, IBM has been selected to be the lab rats for the Second Second Life. In what is being described as an “enterprise-class virtual world”, Linden Lab wants to try to convince companies that Second Life doesn’t actually suck. The fact is, just because they have […]

LL Wants To Violate Your Privacy
Malignant Narcissist @ February 13, 2008 # 4 Comments
Imagine going to the Second Life web site and creating a new account. During the signup process, you’re asked if you’d like to find friends from RL that are in SL. Sounds a little harmless if you just ask that question, so suppose that you decide to take advantage of the new feature and you’re […]

SL’s Lone Defender
Malignant Narcissist @ February 5, 2008 # No Comment Yet
It looks like Linden Lab has another defender, besides Armanna. Recently, Bob (or Bibbo, as he might better be known), while trying to defend Mono, has been trying to convince himself that this site is a pointless waste of time. He seems to think that I have no clue about the subject of SL Sucking, […]

LL Fucks Up - Armanna Loves Them
Malignant Narcissist @ February 2, 2008 # No Comment Yet
What’s happened this week has a lot more people realizing that Linden Lab has no concern for the majority of their customers. Things like storing persistent data in the description field and using “pipe” character have been relatively commonplace, and the latest “upgrade” makes any object that depends on that unusable. The persistent data in […]

Virtual Sex 14 Hours A Day - Husband Lets Her
Malignant Narcissist @ January 31, 2008 # 2 Comments
I can’t actually watch Wonderland (I guess that tells you I’m not British), but it looks like the strangest of the strange from Second Life actually had a chance to be on “prime time” in the UK. From the story at the Telegraph website:
Wonderland (BBC2) has already established itself as a reliable source of strange […]

Avatar Rights Are Not Human Rights

I should honestly start a web site called ProkofySucks.com, but I’m pretty sure that nobody would even care enough to read it. I’ll be removing her from my RSS reader, today, though, so this should be the last thing you hear from me about her. I’m honestly just sick of her constant whining about every […]

Second Life sucks Your Money

Hardware upgrades on Second Life seem to be another way that Linden Lab sees to screw their customers over. While upgrading from Class 4 servers to Class 5 servers, it looks like they will be able to save about 17% on the cost of actually “running” the newer hardware. I’m sure that the initial cost […]

Guess What! There’s Sex In SL!
Malignant Narcissist @ January 21, 2008 # 3 Comments
The fact that somebody tries to bring in a “real life”, serious group and use Second Life for communicating serious matters, and then feels responsible and even guilty for not telling the others that were brought in that there is… OMG!… sex in Second Life sort of makes you wonder how some people actually survive […]

SL Sucks Sucks?
Malignant Narcissist @ January 16, 2008 # No Comment Yet
I actually just had my first case of an online heckler. Not sure who it was, of course, because the pussy LL fanboy didn’t leave any real contact information, and I threw all 14 comments into the spam bucket. They all came from the same person in Europe (or possibly a proxy), but you can […]

Forbes Deathwatch: Clueless Blog Posts
Malignant Narcissist @ January 7, 2008 # No Comment Yet
A story on Massively by Akela Talamasca caught my eye because it had the words “Forbes” and “insult” in the title. After reading this and the article (actually a blog post) that it talks about, I felt that I had to point this out and call a little more attention to it.
I think that I’ve […]

Age Verivication BS
Malignant Narcissist @ December 23, 2007 # No Comment Yet
The new “age verification” system that Linden Lab put in place a couple months back has been said to not work. LL hasn’t really said a whole lot on this, but since they are moving forward with the plans of rolling it out to everybody, it seems that they think it’s enough.
So, now that age […]
