The Dismayland RATING has DROPPED from an "A" to "M". This act has had devastating consequences! Velma owns FNN News, the TV station and the Narrative! She does not care about the petty election, She controls what everyone sees and thinks. Corny Collins and his slutty girlfriend have gone too far! Time for Von Tussle to set the record STRAIGHT, while Corny and Tracy must endure her endless lies! More interesting updates are on my blog: https://opensimliving.blogspot.com/

I stepped away from creating jewelry for a while—sometimes you need that pause. The break gave me space to reflect, reset, and let new ideas come through naturally. I’m feeling inspired again and looking forward to bringing a few fresh pieces to life soon. Thank you for the many IM asking me to create that special piece. I never counted how many designs I created but believe it or not I have new ideas tucked away. Thank you for the continued support 💕

Opensimulator Community:

We weren't going to make any kind of big announcement but since someone from the grid felt it was necessary to post about the move prior to us putting out a release, I guess we should do that now so people aren't doing their usual speculating.

As of June 1st 2026 Littlefield Grid will be ceasing it's grid operations.

What does this mean?

We are in the process (and have almost completed) moving all of our regions to OSGrid. OSGrid has an excellent management and development team, and it has a very large community and we've always had a really good relationship with the management team there. It's also where Littlefield started so for us it was the best option.

All regions are still going to be run on our bare metal servers which are located in a secure datacenter, and we will continue to rent to our users and any new users interested. All of our public, educational, and RP regions are migrating as well as legacy regions like Paramour Shopping which was Aine's region.

Why we are shutting down?

In March of 2026 one of our owners and founding members Ashton Nobilis passed away. Ashton did several modifications to the Opensim code we ran on Littlefield. Although I understand all of it as I myself am an IT professional, we lost Ashton faster than anticipated, and we were unable to obtain 1 very important password from him for one of the grid components. We could hack this piece and create a new password probably, or we could just rebuild the grid and migrate everything as we have access to everything we need, but honestly, this was a labor of love for myself, Dirk Mathers, and Ashton Nobilis. Without Ashton by our side, we just don't have the same feelings toward operating the grid component. There are other personal factors guiding this decision as well. That being said, Dirk and I felt that we could better serve our Littlefield "community" by migrating to OSGrid and allowing them to continue with all the land, community, and public regions they currently enjoy. We intend to use proceeds from the rentals for operating the servers, and to donate monthly to OSGrid as they are doing the work to cover the overhead of the grid services for us, and we feel it's only fair to contribute to the operation.

How soon will this happen?

This is already happening. We have already migrated 70% of the regions to OSGrid. 30% of them are open to the public right now, but I need to fine tune some things and alter some permissions on some things for public consumption prior to opening them up. We should have everything migrated, active, and open to the public in the next two weeks.

We want to thank the Littlefield Grid family for the 14 years they have supported us, and so far all of them were happy to follow us to OSGrid and want to continue the community spirit with us that they had in LFGrid.

Please feel free to take a look around as the regions become open to the public!

Please feel free to contact Dirk or Myself if there are any questions rather than creating a rumor mill (which is already starting) and speculating. We are easy to get in touch with and we're happy to answer any questions anyone may have.

Thank You,
Walter Balazic
Dirk Mathers

Do you get confused converting grid times to your local time?
The Grid Time Converter makes it easy.

Use the < > buttons to set the grid hour (outer numbers) adjacent to your local hour (inner numbers) and that's it.

For example: In the picture above (GMT)
10am Grid Time = 6pm Local

Obtainable from Fields Store

The beacon is placed now at Kitely. You will see the region offline, but when you hop to the grid you will be able to visit. Thats because at Kitely the region starts when people are visiting. So Welcome to Elin Design!!!

IF YOU USE DISCORD PLEASE READ! SCAM ALERT!

So a friend of mine contacted me via discord and sent me the screen shot i have posted. claimed they accidently reported my account and said I had to contact this person to get it fixed.

WARNING!

It turned out to be a scam! Luckily I got it before any of my money or whatever they wanted was taken.

DO NOT FALL FOR ANYTHING LIKE THIS!

my friends account is most likely hacked and I think they caught on that i knew. When they stopped talking to me, that was my first clue.

Legacy Women – drei Looks, eine klare Ansage

Diese Legacy‑Frauen brauchen keinen roten Teppich, um Eindruck zu machen.
Ein Bodysuit, ein Farbkracher, ein tiefes Dekolleté – und schon weiß jeder:
Hier wird nicht gefragt, ob etwas „zu viel“ ist. Hier wird entschieden, was genug ist.

Links gibt’s Power, die glitzert.
In der Mitte ein Farbmix, der sagt: „Ich bin die Stimmung.“
Rechts ein Auftritt, der so tief geht wie der Ausschnitt.
Drei Styles, ein gemeinsamer Nenner: Selbstbewusstsein im Überfluss.

Legacy Women tragen nicht Mode.
Sie tragen eine Warnung: Bitte nicht unterschätzen.

BK‑Mode – für Frauen, die nicht nur auffallen,
sondern dafür sorgen, dass man nicht mehr wegschaut.

Legacy – weil Stil nicht brav sein muss

Legacy zeigt, dass Eleganz nicht immer glattgebügelt kommt.
Manchmal klassisch, manchmal extravagant, manchmal so frei nach dem Motto:
„Ich trag’s, weil ich’s kann.“

Diese Outfits spielen nicht auf Nummer sicher – sie spielen auf Wirkung.
Ein bisschen Mut, ein bisschen Humor, ein bisschen „Schau ruhig hin“.
Genau die Mischung, die Mode spannend macht.

BK‑Mode – Legacy ist nicht für Leute, die sich verstecken.
Es ist für die, die auftreten.

Another Chaos Coding Morning =D I am sitting here in "The Silence" at Dismayland with my script editor open... Anyone wanna hang out and discuss some CODE? Are you in the mood for creating digital calamity? Happy Hour starts at 8AM New York Time WEEKDAYS.

When the LIGHT is on... You can bet I am lurking somewhere... Come have FUN and leave REAL LIFE behind!

http://xoaox.de:7000/Dismayland

Gianni – Mode, die funktioniert und Spaß macht.

Gianni‑Outfits haben einen einfachen Anspruch: gut aussehen, ohne ein Theater daraus zu machen. Ob für den Alltag, Events oder den großen Auftritt im Grid – die Styles sitzen, wirken und lassen dir genug Raum, du selbst zu bleiben.

Dabei nehmen wir Mode ernst, aber nicht zu ernst.
Denn wer sagt, dass Professionalität keinen Humor haben darf?
Gianni zeigt: Stil kann souverän sein und trotzdem ein Lächeln mitliefern.

BK‑Mode – für alle, die sich anziehen wollen, ohne sich zu verkleiden.

People often wonder where that fantastic coating, which generously covers the LARD BARS at Chopsy's Diner is being made. Yet another production which was not selected for the Lamenticon. Check this out: https://opensimworld.com/post/130345

Mother's Day is rapidly approaching so I wanted to get some cute Mother's Day decorations out in the way of figurines. They're really cute to sit on a table, a lamp stand, bookcase or a shelf. I have them sitting in the arrival point for the mall so you can find them quickly. But while you're here be sure to check out the other areas as we have, I think, thousands of items for you to peruse and maybe take to decorate your own region or grid. All of our items are free and full perm, and 98% is made by us here on this grid and are one of a kind. To all you Mom's - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Step inside Gridlock Manor, a fully interactive murder mystery experience where every room holds a secret and every clue could change the outcome.

Inspired by classic deduction-style games, this immersive adventure challenges you to piece together the truth behind a chilling crime. Was it a familiar face? A hidden weapon? Or a room that holds more than meets the eye?

Your mission:
Uncover the suspect
Identify the weapon
Pinpoint the location

Using your in-world HUD, you’ll explore the manor, gather clues, and make your accusation. But be careful—some details are designed to mislead.

What makes Gridlock Manor different:

Fully interactive environment built in OpenSim
Dynamic mystery that changes regularly
Solo or group gameplay
Real-time deduction with live results

Every visit offers a new challenge. Every guess brings you closer—or further—from the truth.

Do you have what it takes to solve it?

**WHO TOLD POLITICS CAN’T BE MIXED WITH OPENSIM?**

Meet **Dorena Verne** — the AI artist sparking conversations across the grid.

She doesn’t sculpt prims. She doesn’t paint textures by hand. Instead, Dorena uses artificial intelligence to generate provocative, politically charged imagery that challenges the status quo. Think hyper-realistic portraits of world leaders in compromising scenarios. Think flags melting into data streams. Think allegories about surveillance, migration, and digital dissent — all rendered in unsettling detail.

Her work has been called **brilliant, dangerous, and deeply controversial**. Some sims ban her exhibits. Others celebrate them as the first true fusion of AI art and in-world political commentary.

Love her or hate her, Dorena Verne proves that OpenSim isn’t just a playground — it’s a podium.

👉 **See the Expo for yourself.** Visit TROMSO SIM, close to TP area go to the library, 1st floor” — and step into the pixels where art, algorithms, and activism collide.

**OpenSimworld. Build. Explore. Agree or Disagree.**

Diese Kunstinstallation konstruierte ich bereits im Mai 2009. Damals hatte ich noch kein eigenes Grid, sondern wohne im Virtyou-Grid, was es schon viele Jahre nicht mehr gibt. Ich holte diese Installation dann im Januar 2010 nach Dorenas World. Man befindet sich in einer Umgebung rotierender Farben und Transparenz. Heute würde ich es vielleicht anders bauen, aber ich habe es bewusst auf dem Stand von 2009 gelassen. Ich freue mich über euren Besuch.
..........................................................
I constructed this art installation back in May 2009. At that time, I didn't yet have my own grid; I was living in the Virtyou Grid, which hasn't existed for many years. I then brought this installation to Dorena's World in January 2010. You find yourself in an environment of rotating colors and transparency. Today, I might build it differently, but I deliberately left it as it was in 2009. I look forward to your visit.

Liebe Freunde der Kunst und Kultur, liebe OpenSim-Freunde,
in diesem Jahr feiern wir das Pangea Kunst- und Kulturfestival bereits zum fünften Mal – und eröffnen es in Köln. Das hat einen ganz besonderen Grund: 20 Jahre virtuelles Köln. Aus diesem Anlass wird Köln in diesem Jahr zur lebendigen Bühne der Kunst. Das Opening startet am 24.04.2026 um 11 AM SLT / 20 Uhr – mit unserem DJ Marlon Wayne, der den Auftakt musikalisch begleitet. Auf der Kölner Domplatte präsentieren sich nicht nur Künstlerinnen und Künstler mit ihren aktuellen Projekten. Anders als in den vergangenen Jahren geben in diesem Jahr auch die kreativen Köpfe des Pangea Grids sowie aus anderen OpenSim-Grids Einblicke in ihre Projekte, Sims und Ideenwelten – denn dieses Festival lebt von Vielfalt und dem gemeinsamen Gestalten. Die Pavillons und Ausstellungen sind dabei nicht nur Momentaufnahmen, sondern Ausgangspunkte für weiterführende Projekte, neue Sims und künstlerische Entwicklungen. Dafür danken wir von Herzen für so viel Kreativität. Zu den diesjährigen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern zählen unter anderem Cherry Manga, Tutz Zabelin, Tina Bey, Terra Merhyem und Nyx Breen, die ihre Arbeiten im Laufe des Jahres in entstehenden oder sich weiterentwickelnden Sims präsentieren. Ebenso freuen wir uns auf Künstlerinnen und Künstler sowie Kunstschaffende wie ArtBlue, Tryad Destiny, Loru Destiny, Juliette SurrealDreaming, Rage Darkstone, Kimm Starr, Ansjela Amat, Serafina Bollettie, Lampithaler Artist und Reyno Parx sowie viele weitere, die eindrucksvolle Einblicke in ihr künstlerisches Schaffen geben. Einige von ihnen entwickeln ihre Arbeiten weiter und sind bereits Teil der Perspektive für das Pangea Festival 2027. Besonders ehren wir Cleopata Rayal, die mit 88 Jahren mit ihren selbstgemalten Bildern und ihrer Lyrik einen besonderen Platz in einer der Art-Galerien in Köln einnimmt und dort ihre Werke präsentiert. Ein besonderer Moment des Innehaltens ist unserem Gedenkpavillon gewidmet. Dort erinnern wir an Künstler und Wegbegleiter, die nicht mehr unter uns sind: Torbens Asp, Veritas McMaster, Mal Burns, Luna Lunaria und Mimi Reich. Ihr Wirken bleibt Teil dieses Festivals. Zur kreativen Vielfalt zählen für uns auch die Erbauer der Karnevalswagen. Ihnen sowie allen beteiligten Grids und Buildern gilt unser besonderer Dank. So erwartet euch in diesem Jahr ein weiteres Highlight im November: Am 11.11., dem traditionellen Beginn der Karnevalssession, feiern wir eine besondere Karnevalseröffnung im Pangea Grid – ein Event, auf das wir uns schon jetzt freuen dürfen. Unser Dank gilt ebenso allen DJs und DJanes, Musikern sowie den vielen Menschen im Hintergrund, die mit ihrem technischen Support das Pangea Grid – und damit dieses Festival der Kunst und Kultur – überhaupt möglich machen. Ebenso bedanken wir uns herzlich bei der HG Safari und allen weiteren Unterstützern und Wegbegleitern. Im Laufe des Jahres erwarten euch nicht nur neue Eröffnungen beeindruckender Kreativsims sowie Kunst- und Informationsausstellungen in Köln, sondern auch zahlreiche Veranstaltungen, mit denen wir die teilnehmenden Künstlerinnen und Künstler ehren und ihre Werke lebendig werden lassen. Wir freuen uns auf ein Jahr voller Kunst, Begegnungen und gemeinsamer Momente – und auf euren Besuch.
Herzlichst euer Pangea Team
________________________________________________________________________________
Dear friends of art and culture, dear OpenSim friends,
this year we celebrate the Pangea Art and Culture Festival for the fifth time – and we are opening it in Cologne. There is a very special reason for this: 20 years of virtual Cologne. For this occasion, Cologne becomes a vibrant stage for art throughout the year. The opening will take place on April 24, 2026 at 11 AM SLT / 8 PM CET, featuring our DJ Marlon Wayne, who will musically accompany the start of the festival. On Cologne’s Domplatte, not only artists present their current projects. Unlike previous years, the creative minds of the Pangea Grid as well as other OpenSim grids will also offer insights into their projects, sims, and creative worlds – because this festival thrives on diversity and collaborative creation. The pavilions and exhibitions are not just snapshots, but starting points for ongoing projects, new sims, and artistic developments. For this, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such incredible creativity. Among the artists presenting larger-scale projects this year are Cherry Manga, Tutz Zabelin, Tina Bey, Terra Merhyem, and Nyx Breen, who will showcase their work over the course of the year in evolving or newly created sims. We are also delighted to feature contributions from ArtBlue, Tryad Destiny, Loru Destiny, Juliette SurrealDreaming, Rage Darkstone, Kimm Starr, Ansjela Amat, Serafina Bollettie, Lampithaler Artist and Reyno Parx, as well as many others, who offer inspiring insights into their artistic work. Some of them continue to develop their work and are already part of the perspective for the Pangea Festival 2027. We especially honor Cleopata Rayal, who at the age of 88 presents her self-painted artworks and poetry in one of the art galleries in Cologne. A special moment of remembrance is dedicated to our memorial pavilion, where we honor artists and companions who are no longer with us: Torbens Asp, Veritas McMaster, Mal Burns, Luna Lunaria, and Mimi Reich. Their legacy remains an integral part of this festival. Creative diversity also includes the builders of the carnival floats, to whom we extend our special thanks, along with all participating grids and builders. Another highlight awaits us in November: on November 11th, the traditional start of the carnival season, we will celebrate a special carnival opening in the Pangea Grid – an event we are already looking forward to. Our sincere thanks also go to all DJs, DJanes, musicians, and the many people working behind the scenes whose technical support makes the Pangea Grid – and thus this festival of art and culture – possible. We also warmly thank the HG Safari and all other supporters and companions along the way. Throughout the year, you can look forward not only to the opening of impressive new creative sims and art and information exhibitions in Cologne, but also to numerous events honoring participating artists and bringing their work to life. We look forward to a year full of art, encounters, and shared moments – and to your visit. Warm regards, your Pangea Team

Heute Morgen, Fragestunde mit Dorena_AI..

[22:21] Dorena1 Verne: Darf Kunst politische Motive haben?
[22:21] Dorena die Weise: Ja, Kunst darf politische Motive haben – und sie hatte sie in der Geschichte immer wieder.

**Begründung:**

1. **Freiheit der Kunst:**
In modernen Demokratien gilt die Kunstfreiheit als wesentliches Grundrecht (z.B. in Deutschland Artikel 5, Absatz 3 GG). Das bedeutet, Künstler*innen dürfen sich ausdrücken, wie sie möchten – auch politisch.

2. **Geschichtlicher Kontext:**
Schon immer hat Kunst gesellschaftliche und politische Themen aufgegriffen. Denken wir an Banksys Graffiti, Bertolt Brechts Theaterstücke oder Francisco Goyas „Desastres de la Guerra“. Kunst war oft Vehikel für Kritik, Protest oder Visionen des Wandels.

3. **Funktion von Kunst:**
Kunst regt zum Nachdenken an, fordert Diskussionen heraus, hinterfragt Macht und Normen. Sie erlaubt es, schwierige Themen auf emotionale und kreative Art zu vermitteln.

4. **Keine Pflicht, aber Möglichkeit:**
Kunst muss nicht politisch sein – sie kann es aber. Die Offenheit, auch politisch Stellung zu beziehen, ist Teil ihres Wesens.

Die Frage warum aufgrund scheinbarer Neutralität ein Grid meine Werke ablehnt, habe ich mir verkniffen, die Antwort kenne ich selber...
.................................................................................................................................
This morning, Q&A with Dorena_AI...

[10:21 PM] Dorena1 Verne: Is art allowed to have political motives?

[10:21 PM] Dorena the Wise: Yes, art is allowed to have political motives – and it has had them throughout history.

**Justification:**

1. **Freedom of Art:**

In modern democracies, freedom of art is considered a fundamental right (e.g., in Germany, Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law). This means that artists are free to express themselves as they wish – including politically.

2. **Historical Context:**

Art has always addressed social and political issues. Think of Banksy's graffiti, Bertolt Brecht's plays, or Francisco Goya's "Disasters of War." Art has often been a vehicle for criticism, protest, or visions of change.


3. **Function of Art:**

Art stimulates thought, provokes discussion, and questions power and norms. It allows difficult topics to be conveyed in an emotional and creative way.

4. **Not an Obligation, but an Option:**

Art doesn't have to be political—but it can be. The openness to taking a political stance is part of its very nature.

I refrained from asking why a grid rejected my work due to its apparent neutrality; I already know the answer...

Come check out the reimaged Paradise tropical island and resort. What once used to be Paradise Tropical island, now has many more added amenity's including a resort!

I have added boat docks to sail the island and find its many charming areas. There is also a zip line for a fun way to get to the resort.

Also come check out the new floating restaurants! VB Daiquiri paradise has all the island flavors and vibe. Craving something a bit more upscale but still has that island feel, go check out Tiki Terrace. The band is always playing that island feel so you can dance your cares way. The food and drinks are a plus as well.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
working on my latest animesh roaming critters, I found myself in a predicament:
script load on sim would add up crazy with my intended, dozens of animeshies roaming, single, in flock,etc;
I've spent a hidious amount of time to overcome this bottleneck, and....guess what: I'm so close I can smell it ☺
Even more: its no longer 1 roaming and 1 anim script< I combined em into one clean - ZERO ! - lag version.
zero lag?....yes, Ive tested it to the bone:
effectively, script updates 1x per second, so its negligable in terms of impact on any angle;
I have now some 50+ roaming critters in ZweetZ: in the old state, that would lead to some 200 script events per second, or more....
With the new script....its between 5 and 10 in Statistics Bar, but thats the other scripts used in the sim, not the animals:)
and, of course, as far as I can tell now, I could another 50 without my server or sim give a blink!
I'm working hard on finalising it for my shop- unfortunatly, Im depending on chatgpt.....and he drives me bonkers with his hallucinations.
But, Persistence pays off......if you find it hard to believe, do visit my sim and head to the pond in centre of forest.....and after that, leave me review:)
P.S: the development and testing of lowlag script was done with default moving. That last step, upgrading it to KFM ( Key Framed Motion), prooved to be hard....but I got it working. The critters u see in the forest ( and shop) are with the default, but, the swan swimming in the pond, is the first with KFM !. Why kfm? It m,akes for a much smoother motion, no jerks etc . A bit more fine tuning required, then I'll post here when the new ones are available in my shop.
