I had the pleasure of visiting Peter’s build at Zweet Zurroundingz, and it truly stopped me in my tracks "again". This is one of the most visually stunning environments I’ve seen—rich with detail, atmosphere, and imagination.

From the lush plant life to the beautifully placed animals and the way the light rays bring everything to life, every corner feels thoughtfully crafted. It’s not just a build—it’s an experience.

You can tell this was created with passion and a deep eye for design. I’ve genuinely enjoyed every visit and find something new each time I return.

Congratulations, Peter. This is magnificent work.

Come check out the wonderful items Peter offers, thank you! 🦢🌺hg.osgrid.org:80:Zweet ZurroundingZ

https://maze.bz/OARConv.html is where you can get my new FIRESTORM UPLOAD BYPASSER. You must have access to a console to upload the oar you create. It makes the physics block for you, it chunks the mesh. I have brought in meshes with as many as 3 million verts...up to 20 at a time so far. Largest oar was 4 gigs. Break it I dare you. See the picture or if you want to see the meshes go here hop://maze.bz:7002/Mesh%20Museum/128/128/26 which is a work in progress. If you have a slow machine well..grab a meal while you wait but here are some pictures.

The region is back open for your shopping! I hope you enjoy the Pandora build, if you run into issues please let me know and don't mind me if you see me I am building behind the scenes and adding New things. Come On Down!

testing Avatar Dehydration/Rehydration. We modified the teleporter code to speed up TPs especially cross-continental. should be live this evening if all goes well. The process is user teleports - > appears dehydrated and sent to IPFS -> minimal av appears on destination region -> appearance rehydrated -> yay

🌈 Phx Kids – bunt, frech, einfach zum Verlieben!

Die neuen Phx‑Outfits bringen Farbe, Fun und ganz viel „Awww“ in den Tag.
Ob Glitzer, Pastell oder Neon – diese Looks hüpfen direkt ins Herz.

Bequem zum Toben, süß zum Anschauen und perfekt für kleine Wirbelwinde,

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!!!

HG Safari returns to the Tenth Dimension grid once again, and this time we will be touring a new exhibit by Tina Bey. Please join us at 12noon grid time for an exploration of an amazing and fun exhibit.

EDIT: Reading the comments, I see the need to redo the post. Version 2.0

Name The OSW Users You Most Respect
Who can you recommend as someone you think should be listened to and taken seriously? In other words, who has earned your respect? Try to think of not only those friends who share your views on things, but also those people who do not. (But please! Don't say which person is which, because Yikes!)

*The topic here is respect. The tone of all comments should, of course, be respectful as well. I'm not asking for the general opinions of the relative merits of those named. If you agree or disagree with someone's choice, please keep your opinion private. Thanks for respecting the guidelines.

*I wish it weren't necessary to say, but nobody needs to know, and likely doesn't care, that you don't like the post. Please, just move on. I'll respect you all the more for it. Thanks!

*Just to be clear, this is not a popularity contest. We are not voting people up or down. You might agree or disagree with the choice others make. Feel as great as you like about how your judgement is better than anyone's, but, really, we don't need to know.

I'm working on a project and looking for people to work with on it. But I think this exercise could be helpful to the OSW community at large in some way.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

You Can't Have A Poll Without Being Political
My Pol. Sci. professor said "politics happen whenever two people get together". That makes avoiding politics difficult. However, politics is more generally associated with making decisions in a group. And because of their role in elections and government decision-making, polls are a major part of the political landscape. An election itself is a poll (the only important one say some). Before and after elections, polls are a critical tool for gauging the "will of the people" beyond what simple election results can show. Polls are, by their nature, political.

A poll on OSW says that the will of the people here is that this is not a place for politics. But if you don't want politics on OSW, you lose just by voting.

Not that it matters. Polling results in OWS are not enforceable and will not stop political posts. Want to do something effective? Block people.

Everyone else is invited to an extended stay in the BDSM by MAGA region, where the beatings will continue until the complaining stops.

Just so folks don't think we have no green healthy foods on the Green Isle. Irish Flag Salad - a salad with the colours of the flag. Spinach, oranges pieces, pear slices, feta, pistachios and a honey lemon vinaigrette. Free to copy buy for 0 at Doyle's:)

And don't worry, if you love the fried stuff, there will be more...lol

Someone commented on my last post that they had some of my mesh having issues with resizing. I want to always let people know...if you have an issue with the mesh, let me know. In the meantime, I have learned techniques (not mysteries for mesh creators, but I am new at it and slow) that prevent collapse and resizing texture issues. However, those things are always dependent on the piece, the original image that was used, and the texture itself. One of the reasons I include the textures with the pieces under contents is so that people can sharpen them, change the shading, etc. I don't always sharpen my textures. Some of the original images I used are done in styles like impressionistic painters. This make them look differently, but they are consistent upon resizing. I made a little webpage demonstrating some of this, for those that are interested. https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/meshing...

Vegan Plant Based Ulster Fry:)

With tofu scramble, a plant based sausage patty and tempeh bacon instead of the meats.

I also stuck the vegan and carnivore at the same table because those are always great conversations:)

At Doyle's.

Hey everybody! I had the time to make some new mesh Holiday decorations for you. You will find them at the arrival point for the mall and they are free and full perm. The only thing you can't do is re-texture them because they're textured when they are made in Meshy. But they are beautiful and seasonal so get yours soon, after the holiday they will be moved to our Holidays & Seasons area where you can also find a lot of great items to decorate for the holidays. Blessings and much love, Lavia!

Wow.. a lot of time was spent on this. All RIDES have new engines to power them. New Attractions and SOMETHING ELSE: A Strange FOG has settled on Greedy Creek. The DIM inhabitants are becoming sentient. Experience the thrill, the drama and corruption in a multi-layered story arc. This is MORE than a theme park, it is a living Virtual Novel.

beta testing kubo/IPFS - backed asset server. if your regions are spread out in different continents like an octopus and the head is the robust server 'brain' you can run IPFS nodes on each region. Working on the brain node next, hopefully replace fsassets. I'm using content hashing to reduce dups, for example 500 blank notecards is only 1 blank notecard. code at https://codeberg.org/fionasweet/assetd it works as a cache for fsassets at the moment but still WIP
