Okay we're finally all moved into our new house in real life and what a job it was!! But now I have had the time to upload all the stuff I made in Meshy before I went to "radio silence" because I'm back and building again. I've made a lot of really cute Valentines items which you can see in the picture and these things are available in the landing point to our mall. There are other Valentine's items in our Holidays & Seasons area which you can find using the telepad system. Enjoy the new items and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOU ALL! Blessings and much love, Lavia!
đI wish you all a wonderful and successful day.đ

working in virtual space
Virtual space is no longer just a toy for nerds with headsets, but a continent in the making. Anyone who enters it quickly realizes: this isn't about pixels, but about possibilities.
Imagine a marketplace that never closes. Service providers no longer advise their clients amidst filing cabinets and fluorescent lights, but in designed, interactive environments. Workshops take place in spaces tailored to the topic. Education becomes accessible. Collaboration becomes a tangible, spatial experience. Expertise is given a platform â without travel time, without expensive infrastructure, without geographical boundaries.
At the same time, galleries are emerging where art is not just viewed, but experienced. Digital works don't hang on walls; they react, change, and invite immersion. Artists reach an international audience, independent of square footage and rental prices. Visitors move through curated exhibitions, speak directly with the artists, purchase works, and use them immediately. Art becomes global, interactive, and economically independent.
Products are also being reimagined. Virtual shops are not mere display windows, but experiential spaces. Clothing, furniture, scripts, entire design worlds â everything can be viewed, tested, and used immediately. Creatives build their own brand, develop their identity, and tap into a market that transcends national borders. The currency is ingenuity.
And then there are the events: nightclubs without bouncers, concerts without travel, themed parties with guests from five continents. DJs spin records, performers experiment with space, light, and interaction. Community arises not despite distance, but through new forms of connection. Geography loses its power.
Those who delve deeper discover role-playing games and narrative worlds that are more than just entertainment. Quest-based stories, collaborative adventures, spaces that respond to decisions. Here, dramaturgy, design, and technology merge into experiences that truly engage people.
For over fifteen years, I have been designing and photographing such worlds. What sounds like technology is actually a discipline at the intersection of architecture, lighting design, and psychology. A virtual space only works when proportion, atmosphere, and function work together seamlessly. Textures, light sources, and spatial depth are not mere effects, but tools for creating presence. The goal is always the same: the viewer shouldn't just watch, but step inside.
I find collaborating with game designers particularly appealing. The gaming industry is growing rapidly, but growth alone doesn't create an experience. A good gaming environment must be aesthetically pleasing and, at the same time, functional from a gameplay perspective. It must provide orientation, spark curiosity, and evoke emotions. This is precisely where the magic happens: when spatial design becomes a silent storyteller.
Interior designers and decorators also benefit from this way of thinking. Digital 3D models make it possible to precisely visualize visions before the first stone is laid. Clients don't just see plansâthey move through their future spaces. Decisions become clearer, processes faster, and misunderstandings less frequent.
For real estate agents, virtual tours open up a new dimension of presentation. Prospective buyers experience a property realistically without having to be physically present. This saves time, expands reach, and significantly increases the appeal of an offering. A space that resonates emotionally doesn't sell through data, but through the impression it makes.
Virtual worlds are not a replacement for reality. They are an extension. An experimental field. A laboratory for ideas. Those who design them work at the intersection of creativity and future technology. The boundaries are not technical, but conceptual.
The question is no longer whether these spaces are relevant. The more compelling question is: Who designs themâand with what ambition?

Moonlight gathers on the dancefloor tonight as DJ Yana brings a full spectrum of liveâenergy performances.
A night for dreamers, wanderers, lovers of sound, carried by the pulse of legends.
R.E.M drifting through the stars.
The Killers lighting the sky with fire.
Supertramp weaving nostalgia into the night air.
The Police striking the rhythm of memory.
Toto sending the rain, the thunder, the heartbeat of the 80s.
And many more voices rising under the moon.
A Moonlight Show for those who feel music in their bones,
for those who dance with their whole spirit,
for those who let the night carry them.
DJ Yana invites you to step into the glow,
to move, to breathe, to feel alive.
Let the moon be your spotlight
and the music your freedom.

Springsteens musikalische Reaktion auf gesellschaftliche ErschĂźtterungen
Bruce Springsteen hat erneut seine Rolle als Chronist des amerikanischen Zeitgeschehens eingenommen. Inmitten der tiefgreifenden sozialen Unruhen und der emotionalen Aufarbeitung der tragischen Vorfälle in Minneapolis hat der Musiker ein neues Werk geschaffen. Das Stßck greift die kollektive Trauer und den Zorn auf, die durch die Gewaltakte und die daraus resultierenden Debatten ßber systemische Ungerechtigkeit ausgelÜst wurden.

đĽWALLâTOâWALL ENERGY đĽ
Today brings a new playlist that moves through the early morning like a living pulse
from deep house to progressive, from melodic techno to trance, from tribal rhythms to those cinematic, emotional liftâoffs that hit you right in the chest.
It starts low and warm, grows steady, and then rolls forward with a momentum that doesnât break.
A full journey, smooth transitions, rising energy, and that unmistakable wallâtoâwall flow.
If youâre in the mood for something that carries you, shakes you awake, and keeps you moving without a single dull moment,
youâll want to be there.
Today.
Wall to wall.
Let the sound take over.

Alter Bridge - PhĂśnix aus der Asche von Creed
Die Geschichte von Alter Bridge beginnt nicht mit einem vorsichtigen Kennenlernen, sondern mit einem radikalen Neuanfang. Im Jahr 2004 befand sich die Rockwelt im Umbruch, als eine der kommerziell erfolgreichsten Bands der späten Neunziger, Creed, aufgrund interner Spannungen zerbrach.

so i am working on the Japanese expansion for VivoSim and have changed some information.
Current Gardens & Fields:
(removed and moved plants, more to come.
Imo Hatake (tubers)
Kokumotsu (grains)
Konsai (root vegetables)
Soryo (fodder)
Yasai (vegetable).
Habu (herbs)
I will be changing the growth times, stats (for the HUD) and redoing the containers in Japanese style.
I'm testing them now. I have changed the "gardens" and fields to be more specific.
Trees will take a bit longer since there are more of them, but I also have trees that give wood (and other byproducts) as well as fruits/nuts
It has been a lot of work, but i am very happy with the outcomes.
I am hoping to have most of the gardens done this week.
all in all, i am looking at 118 "new" plants/trees.

I have a project coming out for public beta test soon and I thought that now would probably be a good time to share 10 RULES of TECH SUPPORT!
MY PERSONAL TECH SUPPORT RULES ANYWAY.
(Please Read Before Speaking)
Rule one: the computer did exactly what you told it to do, not what you meant. It is not psychic. It is not creative. It is aggressively literal and has no emotional attachments to you..
Rule two: the documentation exists for a reason. Skipping it and asking for help is like ignoring the map, driving into a lake, and calling to complain about the water.
Rule three: âIt doesnât workâ is not useful information. That is a feeling. Feelings are valid. They are not diagnostic.
Rule four: when I am explaining something, this is not a discussion. This is the part where you stop talking and listen. Questions are welcome after the explanation, not during the sentence you interrupted.
Rule five: something changed. It always does. The system did not wake up this morning and choose chaos. You, time, or physics touched it. Figure out which.
Rule six: support cannot fix what you refuse to describe. If you changed something âsmallâ and didnât mention it, congratulationsâyou have just doubled the troubleshooting time.
Rule seven: urgency does not make you right. Saying âthis is criticalâ does not rewrite reality; it just raises everyoneâs blood pressure.
Rule eight: software does not include common sense. That must be provided by the user. If a warning says âdonât do thisâ and you do it anyway, the outcome is not mysterious.
Rule nine: if you ignore instructions, you own the result. This is not punishment. This is cause and effect.
Rule ten: If the source code tells you not to do something, there is a valid reason. Disobey at your own peril.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Please RTFM again.

A genre based on sex games in which the performers are mostly of Asian descent and are reduced to having oversized breasts and vaginas.
It's more than just embarrassing!
