Let's Talk About Goals - SL Edition + Mulligan #8

 I recently made a post like this on my Patreon about my podcast, and decided that since I've been trapped in the house for a week after this big snow storm, I'll do a Second Life specific version of that post. And since there are now 175 pictures to take for the project and I don't think I have 175 pictures to recreate, I'm including new pictures in the total. Style credits at the bottom of the post!

• Blogging - 
• I definitely want to continue, and increase the frequency of posts in general, but especially  within my Mulligan Project (I also got two new free heads this year... and added them to the project because I have a problem, I guess)
• I want to either continue or start over with that Off the Rails project I had started a million years ago. 
• Streaming / Videos
• When I finally get the two remaining parts I need for my desktop and can run multiple things at once, I really want to start streaming SL stuff / making youtube videos. I love finding and sharing free and cheap stuff I've found but setting up and taking pictures for that is super time consuming, and videos would be both easier and more engaging
• I also want to make videos exploring different locations, and talking to people about SL things. . There are so many different corners of the grid that I know nothing about despite being in this world for so long and I'd love to learn more about them!
• Also, one of my favorite things is seeing the way people decorate in SL and I definitely want to make a video series snooping around people's homes (with their permission, of course!) I'm taking suggestions for series titles, haha. 
• Specific Topics/Projects: 
• In addition to the Mulligans and Off the Rails, there are a few specific things I'd like to explore.
• Zooby babies are interactive and can level up now? Color me intrigued. I hear they also do pets now?
• I'm curious to try my hand at breedables. Maybe make myself a little farm. 
• I'd like to try out one of those systems that makes SL more like a sims game where you have to take care of your avatar. Back when I was involved in some RP communities there were people that used them and it was intriguing. 

A little further down the road... 

• One day I want to own a sim. I have had grand plans for ages about what it would be for (it would be a public/community place,) and how it would look and one day I am going to make it happen. But sim ownership can get pricey and that's kind of a long way off. For now I'm just having a blast decorating on a sim my friend owns!
• I have ideas for some very silly and simple products to sell in world/on MP, but I am intimidated by the learning curve of blender and photoshop, and I can't afford them any time soon anyway. Ideally, I'd love to link up with someone who is an experienced creator that I can learn from and split the pennies with. All the ideas so far would be super easy for someone who already creates regularly. I could probably try to do the photoshop part if I can get my hands on a free software that does the same thing. 
• I want to organize / run a hunt. I want to hide the prizes and write the clues and organize the creators. So if anyone owns a store and wants to organize a hunt, I'll do it for basically nothing! My favorite hunts are the ones where the object is free, but it's actually challenging to find them. 

But my biggest, most ambitious goal that doesn't require anything outside of my control to fall into place: The Great Inventory Unfucking of 2026. My previous organizing attempts were priving too complicated, so I pulled every single thing out of the folders I'd started organizing them into, and put everything in the top most Inventory folder and I'm organizing from there. After emptying what was already in my trash, I started with 124, 284 items. There are a ton of things that are duplicates, but also a ton of things that have never been unpacked, so I'm curious to see what I'll wind up with. My goal is not a certain number, just some level of organization so I can actually *find things* in my inventory. More details about that to come!
