As a way to say thank you to the OSW community, I'm going to be releasing a project every now and then and have it only shared with those who happen to come across this listing. To start things off, you can find the first gift at the OSURL below!

Whack-A-Mole
A fun throwback to the days of old, when taking a mallet to a plastic animal felt wonderful. (Mallet not included!) To play, simply rez it out and give it a click. The owner of the machine will have a few extra options, including the option to reset the score to 0, as well as an option to remove all score logs. Have fun!

Get Help Finding Stuff
---------------------------------
Polar bears are good at helping you find stuff, if you can find one. So, people are using the box more and more to request help. As you know, comments in the box get drowned out by not nice comments. Even the nice comments push the requests down until they disappear. But there is help with that. Just join the What Are You Looking For group. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

• Why: As I mentioned, there is a short time before requests in the box go to oblivion The posts in the group stick around, increasing the chances that you will find help from our over 100 members.
• How to use the group: Post about items you are, well, looking for...outfits, builds, shops, services, skills, and so on. At times, a group member will actually make what you are looking for. How cool is that? (Hint: very cool!)

What happens if you help? First, you become one of the forces for good in the galaxy. OK, in OS and OSW. We need more goodness here, right? And, about every two weeks, I post a list of our recent helpers, a bit of their profile info, and the address of their region(s).

The What Are You Looking For group. It’s what you’ve been looking for!

Awakening in an exotic land of inspiration and magic, I found myself enveloped by the scent of blooming jasmine and the soft whisper of the breeze through the trees. Zensational is a nice place just to unwind, everyone is welcome here 💗🌷🌷🪷🪷

I have various circlets and tiaras created at the back of the store by the wedding rings. I was asked to create these when I first started creating jewelry and have loved them ever since; these are always so fun to create and look pretty when worn. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

This week a resident commented to me:

"I cannot believe people here actually talk to eachother...these are real people!
This is not like where I used to live......the people there were not real people"


friends-grid......we are a collection of real people and cultures.

*friends-grid does use animesh for atmosphere, but does not and will not use bots to alter traffic counts. I applaud the grids and regions who refuse to use fake traffic!

I can't believe we are opening in SIX Days!!
When you come to the party, be sure to have Shared Environment enabled with graphics as high as your rig will allow so you can see the beautiful sky and the shadows.
DJ Kith from Wyldwood Bayou will be spinning the music from female musicians over several decades, 70s-90s in honor of women in Open Sim.
My exhibit consists of portraits I have taken of women who have contributed to Open Sim in significant ways, entitled, "Sculpting Prims: Female Visionaries In Open Sim." This exhibit is to honor and acknowledge the work of women that often goes unnoticed and shine a light on their many accomplishments.
My exhibit is only a part of the opening as we also have several talented artists exhibiting their work you don't want to miss.
Come one, Come all!! We can't wait to see you there!

Textures play a crucial role in conveying emotions in Opensim by adding depth, realism, and atmosphere to the digital environment. Here's how they achieve this:

Visual Representation: Textures provide visual cues that evoke specific emotions. For example, rough, jagged textures might evoke feelings of danger or discomfort, while smooth, soft textures might evoke feelings of calmness or safety. By carefully selecting textures, designers can create environments that align with the desired emotional tone.

Color Psychology: Textures are often accompanied by colors, and different colors are known to evoke different emotional responses. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows can evoke feelings of excitement or passion, while cool colors like blues and greens can evoke feelings of calmness or sadness. Texture artists can use color psychology in conjunction with textures to enhance emotional impact.

Immersive Experience: High-quality textures can enhance immersion by making the virtual environment feel more realistic. When users feel like they are interacting with a lifelike world, they are more likely to become emotionally engaged with the experience. For example, a beautifully textured forest scene with sunlight filtering through the trees can evoke feelings of awe and wonder.

Association and Memory: Textures can evoke emotions through association with real-world experiences. For example, the texture of a cozy, well-worn sweater might evoke feelings of comfort and nostalgia, while the texture of rusted metal might evoke feelings of decay or abandonment. By leveraging these associations, designers can evoke specific emotional responses in users.

Narrative Support: Textures can support the narrative of a virtual world by reinforcing its themes and motifs. For example, a dystopian cityscape might feature textures that convey decay, oppression, and despair, aligning with the narrative's themes. By immersing users in a visually cohesive environment, textures can enhance emotional storytelling.

User Interaction: Textures can influence how users interact with virtual objects and environments, which in turn can evoke emotions. For example, a rough texture might make a virtual object feel challenging to touch, evoking feelings of frustration or determination, while a soft texture might make it feel comforting and inviting.

By carefully selecting and designing textures, creators can evoke specific emotional responses in users, enhancing the overall experience of Opensim.

As the rickshaw, its wooden frame creaking with every turn of the wheels, carried a woman adorned in the intricate garments of her dynasty, a delicate sight unfolded before her. A little chicken, its feathers glistening under the sun, innocently pecked at grains scattered across the dusty path. With a sudden jolt, the rickshaw lurched forward, its operator perhaps distracted by the grandeur of his passenger. In a split second, the fragile creature found itself caught beneath the wheels, a tragic casualty of haste and carelessness. The woman's heart sank as she witnessed the scene unfold, a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and mindfulness in navigating the Rickshaws at Zensational's Sakuragawa. In the aftermath, amidst the clucking of nearby hens, a lesson resonated deeply—a plea for caution to all who tread the paths of life, urging them to watch carefully, lest they trample the innocent underfoot. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational
