Not everybody cleanly fits into the usual virtual worlds. After I uploaded I had fun visiting the Endless Isles, Midgard and even Hoofland, but nothing felt quite right to me. I fooled around collecting deltite crystals as an excuse to do more shapeshifting, but I didn't exactly want to be a shapeshifter either. Then I hit on the idea of playing as a taur, like some of the native AIs. That led me to visit the Hexapod Support Group, then to actually try transforming into one, and to realizing that it felt awesome.
Which led me to meet a taur AI named Lumina, and then to mostly leave Talespace behind for their friendly rival, Silver Circle. So to recap, I spent my first half-century living as a human, and now I'm a virtual skunktaur living in a digital paradise and commuting along the i axis to work in a Central American country that didn't exist two years ago. They even have taur robots to operate, and cool drones!
I have a pretty great life.

"This one time, I played Duo Adventure, one of the games we set up in Silver Circle. It's a buddy platformer game where one player jumps around collecting shiny things and player two rides around in a backpack to do special moves. But a friend figured out we could totally cheese that game because I could equip two sidekick backpacks. We had fun abusing that rule. Now there's a whole alternate game mode based on how we did it, something like the concept of rocket-jumping becoming an officially recognized rule."
And now I've written it! Only up temporarily though. https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....6EXCuo3iKH/pub
I must admit, I am a sucker for taurs - "https://www.furaffinity.net/view/5698852/" - but when it comes to utility, I'd take having two equidistant sets of arms and being a "Taurtra" than having two torsos and being a taur. Sure, you can carry two backpacks as a taur, but you can't exactly use those forepaws as hands for doing tasks that require two sets of them, can you? (Just to be clear, Taurtra do not have their second set of arms in their armpits: One, that's gross, and two, you don't get as much articulation with that structure as with having the second pair at the bottom of the ribcage ala Garmadon.) Still, if I could have both, I totally would. Four usable arms plus two torsos? Sure, it may be slightly arachnoid in nature, but that would be awesome.
