Living the Liminal

I have never played Second Life, and have not had any real desire to do so. After this article, I have even less incentive . . .

My adventures in Second Life
02/19/07 by toothpaste

. . . My character came pre-loaded as a “cybergoth”. Most people I saw in the
game, jerkily wandering around, also had fantasy-ass names. They also
had fantasy asses. Perfect, round fantasy asses. Which left me with
only one choice: I had to become what they were not. Slowly, because
everything in Second Life is painfully slow, I removed all components
of my clothing, including Cybergoth.Armwarmers and Cybergoth.Boots. I
even removed Cybergoth.Facetattoo.

After a half-hour of pulling on sliders, I had transformed from Wenis
Cybergoth to Wenis Pale Corpulent Bulldog-Man. I shortened my torso and
gave myself man-handles. I made my hands puffy. I enlarged my jowls to
the maximum, and beaded my eyes down to… well, little beads.
