AFK, Again (2013) by Huckleberry Hax

I don't believe in God and I don't believe in the Devil, but I do believe that life is an ongoing battle between good and evil.  Good is optimism and compassion and gentleness and empathy and joy.  Evil is hatred and anger and bitterness and jealousy and apathy.  And the only thing which can be found in both good and evil... is love.

THE RETURN OF THURSDAY

Step Stransky is dead and now all that Definitely Thursday - the remaining partner of the Step Stransky Second Life® Detective Agency - has to do is live with the fact of being his killer.

'AFK, Again' is the new sequel by Huckleberry Hax to his popular 2007 novel, 'AFK'.

Second Life Updates

Here's my March column for AVENUE magazine.  Photography this month is by Ziki Questi.




In the days when I was new to the metaverse, it was unusual for a week to go by without some sort of blog update from Linden on the Second Life® home page. In recent times, this frequency of communication seems to have dropped considerably. There were just nine posts made in the whole of 2012. Without wanting to sound like I’m jumping on the The End Is Nigh bandwagon, it is tempting to ascribe this to the general decay of SL commented on in so many places these days. It is, after all, a decay that can be seen in many places. Last week, I flew down from my skybox and took a look around some of the mainland sims surrounding the region I’ve lived in since 2007 and was staggered at the amount of abandoned land I found. It was like walking across a wasteland: parched, undulating ground stretching off in all directions, almost as far as I could see. All it needed was a piece of tumbleweed bouncing past or a post-apocalyptic, skeletal hand reaching out of the burned soil towards the scorched, tear-stained sky.
