In real life I walk around with a torch on a stick strapped to my head every single day. Do I really? NO. Do I bollocks! So why the Hell would I choose to walk around with a frikkin light shining on my face in Second Life™? I see only three possible purposes of face lights in game:-

1. To give the impression that your face is the sun because you’re special like that.
2. To blind everyone within a three mile radius.
3. To piss people off.

There’s just no need. If you are so vain that you really want to be able to see your face clearly, change your lighting settings. Don’t force your face on everyone you walk past!! Besides, it shows your skin flaws up And those pixel bags under your eyes…. they look like pixel frikkin suitcases when you have face lights on. Nobody really wants to see your face glowing up like something out of a nuclear accident.

But seriously…. why?? I know a lot of people say that a subtle one can look ok, but I haven’t yet noticed any ‘subtle’ ones, which begs the question, if they’re so subtle that you can’t see them, why waste an attachment point on one?
