Today, as I entered my OutOfThisWorld grid, I lifted my gaze to the firmament
and saw a new star shining with the brilliance of a radiant beacon.

In that moment, I understood
that a dear friend had departed to the realm of the immortals.

Luna Lunaria, my friend… you will be deeply missed.

Each time I behold your creations,
so exceptional and beautiful,
you will live on in memory.

May the Creator grant you eternal peace and love.

Thank you, dear Lunita, for accepting me as your friend.
I will always carry you in my heart and mind.

Ab sofort ist der traditionelle Weihnachtsmarkt in Dorenas World wieder für alle geöffnet. Er existiert in der Form, bereits seit 2015 und gehört damit so den ältesten im OpenSim.

The traditional Christmas market in Dorena's World is now open to everyone again. It has existed in this form since 2015, making it one of the oldest in OpenSim.

Time to feature Winter Wonderland in Eden, so I temporarily changed the landing point for you to enjoy it!
snowballs fight, ice skating, snow bikes riding....
Have a ride on the old carousel, listen to the singing dinkies band,
play greedy or whack a game Christmas, explore around for more
and don't forget to grab some of the gifts boxes!
let's feel the magic of Christmas while having fun! :) Pangea-Grid

✨ BK Mode Kinderabteilung – Kleine Looks, große Wirkung! ✨

Sechs neue Outfits warten darauf, die Bühne zu erobern – von elegant bis sportlich, von „Wow, wie süß!“ bis „Moment mal, das ist ja richtig stylish!“.

Diese Kollektion zeigt: Kinder-Mode muss sich nicht hinter den Erwachsenen verstecken. Im Gegenteil – hier wird aufgefallen, hier wird gespielt, hier wird Stil zum Abenteuer. 🎈

Ob schick für den besonderen Anlass oder lässig für den nächsten Rollerblades-Trip – jedes Outfit ist ein Statement.

Und mal ehrlich: Wer sagt, dass nur die Großen den Catwalk beherrschen dürfen? 😉

I've started offering a variety of tutorials on my Discord server on various topics related to Opensim, mostly on PBR for now, but I will expand them as opportunity arises. Here are the current offerings:

General Firestorm Settings for PBR
Acquiring and Creating PBR Materials
Preparing, Uploading, and Applying PBR
PBR Reflection Probes
GLTF/GLB File Uploads

Coming Soon: Understanding PBR Texture Types

You can find my ⁠tutorials channel on my Discord server here: https://discord.gg/SMBaqan3Ny

Leo's Custom Tech N9ne "Ronald" Costume

So, I pretty much rode the "Watch the World Burn" train until i got somewhat burned out on that song. Made the t-shirt. Memorized the lyrics. Ronald has been my new song to digest and unpack...and it sure got me doing a lot of thinking. Song meanings, multiple meanings, etc. Decided to make a "close enough" version of Tech N9ne's costume from the music video. I guess what hits hardest is the senseless violence, shooting sprees, murders, especially in the USA, but all over the world, really. Some of us did not have a perfect childhood. Some are still struggling with issues of anger, depression, poverty, loss of loved ones, and more. I guess I am appalled at how many people are quick to judge each other if opinions vary. Metal music and hip-hop are criticized heavily, especially on Opensim, by older generations that don't understand it. Please understand THIS: I personally find singing or screaming along to songs like this, to be a much healthier outlet than punching holes in the walls of my house, self harm, harming others, and other things. It is one thing to say "this type of music is not my style". It is another thing to say certain music or entire genres are wrong, talentless, etc. To each their own. I am including the lyrics to the song in case anyone wants to think deeper and maybe understand some new things. Be kind to each other, OpenSim.

Once upon a time, everything was alright
I used to feel safe, not a worry in sight
Then I grew up, quickly realized
The world is a fucked up place sometimes
Death is at your door
Reachin' in from the other side
It's time to cut the cord
Hangin' on like a parasite, go (ah)
Hangin' on like a parasite
Hangin' on like a parasite
Don't hesitate, you're hangin' on for your life
Don't hesitate, you're reachin' out from the light
Walkin' on a razor's edge
My blood runs black, I'm not your friend, uh, fuck
Pull from the depths of the 36 Chambers, ah
Ah, pull the trigger, give a bullet to a stranger, nice
Ah, pull from the depths of the 36 Chambers (haha-haha-ha)
Pull the trigger, give a bullet to a stranger
I don't wanna die (die), but I'm not gonna live
In a place so cold, in a world like this (this)
Crucify me (me), it's blasphemy ('my)
Throw me in the fire, let me burn for eternity (go, go, go, go)
Burn for eternity ('y, 'y, 'y), eternity
I'll never be the one that will ever back down
Never turn around and run, never, never, never back down
Deep into the trench of a place unknown
Lies a dead man clutched to the bottom of a throne
At the bottom of a hole that nobody wants to go
It's the devil that you know that's gotta hold up on your wicked soul (damn)
What is up in your mind? Are you thinkin' the devil is makin' the crime?
Or the people are evil and never no demon design? Or the opposite of a divine? No
Yes, the hell is in front of you, side and behind, I can feel every sign of a human decline
I'm believin' the time is upon us when all of our people are blind (yo)
Red rain, saw it fallin' from a tower's dead plane
Head banged Mandalay Bay hotel, lotta lead came
Sex change could get you caught up in death range
He pled sane but really imitatin' Ed Gein
How do we get this way? Negative shit to say when you get dismay
Havin' a fit today so you wanna make a bitch decay
My son's mom went gone, it was really wrong
I thought I was gonna vomit searchin' for my son, but I didn't go John Muhammad
So the devil's right here on this level, wipe tears
That's 'cause when rebels ready to pop the heavy metal, why fear? (Yeah)
Abomination, they been fakin', consecration hatin', western education
Got that killer on a kid, I gotta chase 'em, go
Go
Spiralin' out of control and deeper down the rabbit hole, ay
Never gonna let them get the most of what they'll have to resurrect
You're sick to death, better take me down
I don't give a fuck, this disgrace to God (no), yeah (ah)
Never gonna let them get the most of what they'll have to resurrect
I don't give a fuck, this disgrace to God

Here's a brief update. Free Animals Sim is gone. I have created a Sim called DALLAS 2 that is becoming my Sim of my ANIMALS and much more. New items as well. When you arrive in DALLAS 2, CHECK OUT THE SMALL VENDORS. Many stuff boxes are from my inventory; you never know what's in them, and also boxes I have found around. Also, my daughter is working hard to get the gates open. Watch for the opening coming soon, but Dallas is always open. If you cannot get in, message me, and I will see that you can. Have fun.

Hi again everyone! Just an FYI, I have removed the Wednesday costume from my shop as well as the gown from the Lady Muerto costume. I gather from open sim. I have stated before that I am not the creator. You can examine each and while the box it is in may be mine, the items inside are not. Everyone have fun for Halloween! My shop will remain but as I have also stated in past posts, if you see something that is yours that you don't wish to have shared, let me know! I will remove it :) There is no way for me to know where, over the years, I have picked things up. But really...be nice and don't slam me in public :) I don't do that to people who obviously bring things from SL :) Happy Halloween!!

The Holiday Spirit has gotten hold of me and so I have been touched, though those who know me will tell you I'm touched (in the head) LOL. Anyway I just love working with my programs to produce beautiful things and this Nativity Scene has turned out lovely and will be a stunning addition to any Christmas venue or you can shrink it down to sit on a mantle or under a tree, but it reminds us of the REAL reason for the season. You can find it in the Holidays & Season's section of our mall. The teleport pad is at the landing point and looks like a manhole cover. Just click, select your destination, then click again to teleport. Blessings and much love, Lavia
