BLA BLA BLA MAGAZINE IS BACK!

After a little break, Bla Bla Bla Magazine is returning — and we’re getting ready for our December Issue!

This time around, the magazine is changing things up. Rather than publishing every month, Bla Bla Bla Magazine will now be published every 3 months, bringing you bigger features, more stories, more places to discover, and plenty of OpenSim goodness!

WINTER GRIDS & REGIONS — WE WANT YOU!

Are you the owner, creator or manager of a Winter-themed Grid or Region?

Have you transformed your virtual world into a snowy wonderland, festive village, Christmas market, winter adventure, magical landscape or somewhere simply spectacular?

We want to showcase YOU in the December Issue!

I’m currently looking for Winter Grids and Regions that would like to be featured in Bla Bla Bla Magazine, giving readers the opportunity to discover your location and experience what you have created.

GOT WINTER EVENTS?

We also want to hear about your December events!

If you have Christmas parties, live music, DJs, markets, festivals, winter activities, celebrations, competitions, gatherings or other special events happening during December, send them our way!

Let everyone know what's happening!
Let readers discover your Winter locations!
Put your events in front of the OpenSim community!

The goal is to have the December Issue ready for everyone to enjoy on 1st December, packed with wonderful Winter destinations and December happenings from across the OpenSim community.

WANT TO BE FEATURED?

If you would like your Winter Grid, Region or December Events considered for the December Issue, please get in touch with me and send:

Your Grid / Region name
Your Winter location or landmark
A little information about your location
Your December events and dates
Any photographs or promotional images you'd like included
Any important links or Hypergrid information

Whether you're running a spectacular Winter Wonderland or simply hosting a few festive events for friends and visitors, we want to hear from you!

Bla Bla Bla Magazine is coming back — and we're ready to make some noise!

So, Winter creators, Grid owners, Region owners, event organisers and Christmas enthusiasts...

DON'T BE SHY — COME AND BLA BLA BLA WITH US!

SOLIDO Gianni Men’s Flannel Shirt

Sleeves rolled. Style sorted.

Classic plaid with an urban edge, detailed PBR textures, and a tucked-in cut that pairs easily with jeans or casual pants.

Four colors: Mid Brown, Green, Grey, and Rust & Navy.

Made for Signature Gianni. The tucked-in style can also work with other bodies—try it for your fit.

Free at the Neverworld Marketplace.

I have modified the fertility/pregnancy system to ensure it is fully functional and ready for use.
I added a clinic setup featuring equipment such as an examination bed and a monitor to check the fetus's condition.
Additionally, I included a visual HUD element that displays key information—such as your current status (pregnant or not), your menstrual cycle stage, and the father's name (if pregnant).
=============================================
The system is still in the testing phase and has not been released yet. ^^

If you have any suggestions or ideas, please leave them in the comments. Thank you

Running a grid is more than throwing around some dirt and rocks! It's ensuring that residents have a safe place to create, lag-free, thousands of kilometers of roads and water, free land to live their dreams, free store space, a free marketplace, thousands of original content items, friendly and helpful admins, and stability. With so much DRAMA! And anyone who says it cannot be done, has not been running Neverworld for the past 11 years of stability, respect and friendship.

Ferries at Dublin port, note you will need WolfViewer / WolfStorm to access it, these ferries run for 3 to 11 hours stopping at all the major ports on the Ireland region. This is an 1800x1800 region which contains the full terrain of Ireland and we are working on building it out.

The Haunted Halloween Isles are back open along with the charming, friendly Pumpkin Patch. Come visit, but realize you may not leave alive.

This year features an all new Day of the Dead area thanks to materials from Kim Starr and Cooper Swizzle.

For those not aware, OSFest is now a fully Hypergrid festival where you can host events on your own grid or grab some space on the OSFest grid to exhibit or setup a store. Before OSFest in September, OSGrid tends to run its fundraiser which is why we didn't choose dates in that month. Following OSFest, Hypergrid International Expo will be in November then OSCC likely in December. Fall is busy on the Hypergrid with many other events happening so hopefully some of those will join in the fun with remote events instead of schedule conflicts so we can send them some avatars too Let's celebrate each other together. It's your OSFest!!
OSFest Performances and Dance Area for live music, DJs, comedy, readings, prose, fireworks, light shows, and burn events!

SORRY, NO CHILD AVIES

Between the difficult days, a little light shines through.
A rainbow in the sky, a smile between us.
And for this moment, only one thing matters:
You are with me – and I am with you.
.................................................................................................
Zwischen schweren Tagen fällt ein wenig Licht.
Ein Regenbogen am Himmel, ein Lächeln zwischen uns.
Und für diesen Augenblick zählt nur eines:
Du bist bei mir – und ich bin bei dir.

So liebe Musikzuhörer und Lagerfeuertänzer,

BINGO BINGO BINGO ,Come join us for a few games of Bingo, Get the best Numbers and Seats, Get those points in, and who knows you will be the Bingo King Or Queen , with host Ted Junior Calling the Numbers

(no AI). So some of you are aware we have been working on hyper regions at Wolf. We have a 200x200 region (40,000 SL regions in size), we have loaded the terrain of my beloved Ireland on it (with some mods for the rivers). Note you will need WolfViewer or use WolfStorm to visit it - the region is called Wolf Nation. I'm not sure where we will go from here with it https://wolf-grid.com.

Warning FIRESTORM will crash if you try and visit this region with it.

I was creating a Landing Area for New People from Sinespace who have never been in Opensim and I thought I would post the most basic that most people look over for Mesh Clothing. Just my thoughts. BOM is back with some Mesh avatars.

A Small but Important Update on Textures

Ina Beaumont recently asked if I could include all of the textures with my items, not just the PBR materials, so that people who are not using a PBR-enabled viewer can still enjoy them properly.

I gave this some thought. I had been hoping that most everyone was moving toward PBR-enabled viewers, but Ina made a very good point—not everyone is there yet, and not everyone uses Firestorm.

So, going forward, I will include the complete set of textures that comes with the model, including the traditional textures as well as the PBR materials.

A quick note about texture sizes: please feel free to reduce them to whatever size works best for you. I have experimented with reducing them myself, but on many of the items I find that they become noticeably blurry, so the original size generally gives me the best results.

These are the textures produced with the model pack, and with the number of things I create, I simply don't have the time to resize and test every individual texture before release.

Please resize them as you wish and use whatever gives you the best balance between appearance and performance on your grid.

Thank you, Ina, for bringing this up. It was a good suggestion, and hopefully including everything will make my creations more accessible to everyone. ♥

I have added all the textures to the Hot Damn BBQ (sorry for the return trip to grab them) Also the Butterflies are Near Choker at Monentes Jewelry. Thank you Ina for helping me to realize the obvious, not everyone has or likes PBR!
