My computer fried apparently, while I was yet again having a wrestling match with death. It seems I won yet again! haha! :) I am trying to fix PC but still mostly in wheelchair ATM, n outta money currently. I apologize guys n gals. I am so very sorry my worlds are down. I dunno if I see well enough to overhaul my 96 Gb dual 6 core workstation, or no, but I/when I get me debt down with a now 1k a month income, and 18k of debt... lol :O I will certainly TRY HARD to fix it, and get worlds back up. Prayers, love, hugs, and high 5's everyone. Be well, be happy. :)

I just placed a new Mesh Avatar in the Rigged Avatar Store-Free-Full perms. Please meet Lil Col Sanders, Sanders in his youth lol, I created this avatar one year as my Halloween costume to trick or treat at @Jamie Anna Wright region. It was such the fun night that I thought I would offer him. He comes with a crispy attitude! You can find the Rigged avatar store here continuum.outworldz.net:8002/Catena%20di%20isole/336/323/32

Celebrating Jails Everywhere?
I joke around a lot, but, as unbelievable as it may seem, this not a joke. According a business blog, the "National Play Monopoly Day" is a time for families to gather together to play the game that celebrates "Park Place, Boardwalk, and the jails located anywhere in the world". WTF? Celebrating jails?

This new outfit at oh HELLO only celebrates fun, fashion, and, ironically, anti-capitalism. (It's free). Smash the State and Storm the Bastille in style with this Monopoly themed skirt, graffiti top and "wild heart" platform boots.

This is a beautiful Heart Bezel solitaire in Ruby. It is bento rigged so it increased the LOD it is a bit heavy. The mesh was reduced 50% prior to rigging too. For those that demand bento, and to the ones who scream at me for being heavy, I have to say, sorry but had to do it!! You can find it in the Bento rings section in the Foyer.
continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

Why there are people they give their avatars names like "Nazi German" and "Adolf Hitler"?
Why they visit a sim like Stark and say they hate gays and threaden people to find them in real and kill them?
Why are people so full of hate?
Why can't they stay away from Stark and let live people their (virtual) life in the way they want?
Lots of questions that I don't have an answer to!

But one thing is absolutely clear for me:

WE DON'T WANT GUYS LIKE YOU HERE AT STARK!

So please stay away and spread your hate somewhere else. Or better: Don't spread it anywhere!

And stop crying in the Stark OSW review section because we banned you several times. We would do it anytime again!

I gave it a good go but the rigging of the jewelry caused the avatar cost to go up too much. I have decided to pull some of the bento because of complaints about the avatar cost. Before rigging the jewelry is decimated until it loses it's detail, so I am decimating as much as possible. I will keep playing with it until I can get the cost down. Thank you Typhaine.Artez for taking the time to help me perfect the jewelry. It has been a battle because it is such fine details which cost huge on some pieces no matter how much I decimate, or clean up. The other issue is, when clients wear mesh shoes, hair, clothing their avatar cost is up there, then by wearing my jewelry it goes up let's say the same as a pair of shoes, but because the jewelry is usually added last, the jewelry is to blame!! It is all adding to the avatar cost. Back to the drawing board. Thank you for all the support!!

I went to the beach today… without ever leaving my computer.

I started with a simple sand castle, and of course one thing led to another. Before I knew it, there was a mermaid, an octopus, a sea turtle and finally a dolphin joining the party.

So now we have an entire little collection of sand sculptures!

I love how these turned out — especially all the tiny shells, starfish and carved details. They should be fun scattered along a beach or grouped together to make a little sand sculpture display.

Sometimes the best projects are the ones you didn't plan at all.

migration begins! after about a year of running we're making some changes to assetd server. originally it stored assets in ipfs and kept local zstd compressed files on each region server. this burned up alot of drive space and 10 years down the road just isn't sustainable. So I'm getting rid of ipfs and storing all assets in s3 bucket. assetd pulls the assets on request, fixes broken ones if needed. with squid cache between assetd and opensim things are much faster. squid keeps current assets in ram for fast loading and stores less active assets in an optimized file structure. we can adjust the levels to increase ram and drive cache. i'm currently moving 2,583,234 assets into s3 bucket. after that's complete we just need to restart the grid, shouldn't be any downtime during the transfer though. on dev server assets load super fast. so we hope to have a better experience on holoneon grid in the next few days.

Halloween with Fred: The Zombie That Just Won’t Stay Dead

Halloween is creeping closer, which means it is time to dig through the wonderfully strange corners of Outworldz and resurrect a few old friends.

And this one is very difficult to keep dead.

Meet Fred’s Animated Zombie.

This isn't the sort of zombie that stands in the corner of your Halloween build looking menacing while everyone ignores it.

Fred apparently looked at that idea and decided zombies needed a better job description.

This zombie walks.
It attacks.
It makes noise.
You can hit it.
It falls apart.
It puts itself back together.

And, naturally...

YOU CAN RIDE IT.

Because why run away from the zombie when you can climb aboard and drive the thing around?

A Zombie With a Few Tricks Left in Him

Fred designed the zombie as an animated wandering character using his Prim Animation Compiler system.

The animation sequence includes standing, attacking, walking with alternating left and right steps, reacting to hits, taking a particularly nasty hit, and finally falling completely to pieces.

But death is apparently only a temporary inconvenience.

After enough abuse, the zombie collapses into scattered pieces on the ground.

Wait a bit...

...and he puts himself back together.

Then off he goes again.

There is something wonderfully Fred about engineering an undead creature that even death can't persuade to stop working.

Go Ahead. Hit Him.

The zombie actually keeps score as people interact with him.

Clicking him causes a hit reaction and eventually does enough damage to trigger the full death animation.

Head, arms, body — down he goes.

Then the zombie reassembles himself and resumes wandering around.

It makes a great interactive Halloween prop because visitors aren't simply looking at something spooky. They're causing things to happen.

And probably clicking him repeatedly just to see him explode again.

We know how people are.

But Wait — There's a Ride Me Button

This may be my favorite part.

Right-click the zombie and choose RIDE ME.

Your avatar climbs aboard, and suddenly the shambling Halloween decoration has become transportation.

Fred's script turns the zombie into a controllable vehicle, allowing you to steer him with your arrow keys.

So while everyone else is arriving at the Halloween party on broomsticks, motorcycles and dragons, you can make your entrance...

piggybacking on a zombie.

I think that wins Halloween.

When You Get Off, It Gets Even Better

Getting off your undead transportation doesn't simply end the ride.

The zombie falls apart.

Then he reassembles himself.

Then he walks back home.

Because apparently Fred even taught the zombie to clean up after the party.

The Engineering Behind the Silly

That's what I particularly enjoy about discoveries like this in the Outworldz archives.

They're funny, but underneath the humor is some genuinely clever scripting.

The zombie combines prim animation, sounds, physics, vehicle controls, randomized movement, interaction, damage scoring, roaming boundaries and a home position into one wonderfully ridiculous project.

Fred didn't just explain how to use it, either. His original tutorial documents how the animations are recorded, how the physics base is constructed, how the sounds are added, how the riding position is created and how the scripts work together.

It's one of those projects where you can play with the finished creation — or dig into the code and learn something from the way it was made.

That has always been part of the fun of Outworldz.

Build something.

Take it apart.

Learn how it works.

Change it.

And occasionally ride it around while it makes monster noises.

Resurrect Something This Halloween

There are years and years of creations tucked away at Outworldz, and Halloween seems like an excellent excuse to start opening some of those old crypts.

Fred's zombie certainly deserves another walk among the living.

Just remember one important rule:

If you manage to kill him...

don't celebrate too quickly.

He's getting back up. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/zombie/

WE ARE BACK — SUBTERRANEA
You thought we were gone?

We’ve been hiding UNDERGROUND, charging the speakers, feeding the demons and arguing over who gets the better tunes.

This time we're bringing DJ Chocolate & Adrian Moon together for a proper subterranean takeover — and this one is all about NU DISCO.
Today 09/10/2026
DJ CHOCOLATE — 11AM → 1PM
ADRIAN MOON — 1PM → 3PM

Expect funky basslines, disco grooves, shimmering synths, dirty little edits, deep house flavours and enough groove to make even the furniture start dancing.

Basically...
disco went underground, got darker, got sexier and found a bassline.

Come for the music.
hop://grid.virtual-worlds.zone:8002/Mosaic/128/244/23
Stay because you’ve forgotten where the exit is.

NU DISCO • DEEP GROOVES • UNDERGROUND ENERGY
MUSIC • PEOPLE • UNDERGROUND • AGAIN

There is something wonderful about seeing Corazon del Mar come alive with visitors—people wandering the streets, exploring the shops, discovering little corners, and simply enjoying the atmosphere.

A region is built with prims, mesh, textures, and countless hours of work, but people are what give it life.

To everyone who has stopped by Corazon del Mar, whether you stayed for a few minutes or spent an evening exploring, thank you for being part of our world.

We hope you found something that made you smile, something worth remembering, and perhaps a reason to wander our streets again. 💗

❤️Sometimes, everything becomes a little too much.
Thoughts grow heavy, and the nights too short.
And still, I carry on —
step by step, day by day.
Not because I am always strong,
but because there is someone worth staying strong for.❤️
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
❤️Manchmal wird alles ein wenig zu viel.
Die Gedanken werden schwer, die Nächte zu kurz.
Und trotzdem mache ich weiter –
Schritt für Schritt, Tag für Tag.
Nicht weil ich immer stark bin,
sondern weil es jemanden gibt, für den es sich lohnt.❤️
