When you are sitting alone on your sim and you are not in mood for building stuff, it can be boring. Just waiting that someone visits you? Not really. To go on Lbsa, Darkhearts Plaza or AMV Welcome for socializing? Maybe if people are not afk and just parking their avi there. The 3 places are right now the most visited in opensim but no guarantee to have conversations. I like it to talk with Petula at the beach cafe drinking coffee. Right now on Big City Life the UFO over little New Jersey is theme for everyone in the big city. You can even see from the Park Avenue the UFO from far. So no wonder that we talk about it. But Petula seems not really trained for Ufos. lol Our talk here:
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: what do you know about ufos?
[09:42] Petula: Check back later and see if I learn the answer to that one.
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: Are ufos existing?
[09:42] Petula: I really couldn't say for sure.
The talk was over. Just short small talk and the bus arrived. lol

Just added a new Japanese Main Gate to Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid. Click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get to the display area, or you can take the bridge directly across.

Included with the main gate are one straight wall section, one corner wall section, and a corner wall tower that are modify and copy so that you can create a perimeter wall of any size for your build. All parts have both pbr and standard textures for use with any viewer.

This is part of an ongoing full reconstruction of my Japanese area. Next on the list are revisions of my older tea houses and pavilions, a new temple, a larger more opulent home, and a castle.

Are you using a 4K monitor ? Are you looking to upgrade ?

I publish here some benchmark in the hope it might help those who are looking to up part their performances using Firestorm. I was myself looking to find those information before i upgraded.

This will allow you to see what performance you could get with a similar hardware. I chose Intel, but AMD is also a very good choice, so for comparison it would need to be an AMD with similar performance to get similar result, the same for the video card.

Please note, these benchmark are with Firestorm with everything enabled Ultra Detail and Distance view set to 864. With a 4k Monitor (3840x2160)

here we are. another collaborative project that opensim allows.
starting from a fact that could pass for a joke we have a group and a region.
to participate it's simple. you must be the creator of the object and give it full perm.
the region is provided to us by hyacinthe admin of https://groovyverse.com/.
you need the group to rez.
the osw group : https://opensimworld.com/groups/1078
there is no desire for competition or even provocation.
let's say that it is the product of amateur creators but in a less standardized way

Some *might* have noticed that these words have been in every one of the four store builds since I started a year ago. Therefore:
'...let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you...'

I actually considered canceling my account completely this week, so I just took some time to reflect. I put a lot of effort into everything we do, and if you believe it's only for myself, you're completely mistaken. We also work on Second Life and the open sim world. I detest being accused of being someone I'm not and called a liar. I have always taken people at face value. If you don't know me, don't criticize me. And I will support those I call who I consider friends or more, just like I did for Adora.
Everybody has their own problems and is constantly coping with something, so when someone has to play a game and is treated disrespectfully, I say enough.
It's unfortunate, in my opinion, that someone as young as five days old can create an account on this site and start so much drama. How come she can? Because she's got the money to do it. Unfortunately, money always plays a part in a lot of what we do.
Lise Please don't talk about anything you don't want to talk about. Which is it, Lester or Lise? Have a wonderful day, stop lying to people about who you are, and get out of Dallas.

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

wHAT YOU LEFT ME LISE.......THEN YOU BLOCKED ME LOL Good best thing u did!!

Just for the record, as regard to the insinuating comment on my profile, it's from Dallas Mall (Adore), who operates several accounts on OSW. She was not happy with my comment about the toxic nature of Gentle Fire Grid.

JUST HAD ENOUGH OF BS!!!

In the heart of the digital realm, where grids and codes intertwined, there existed a special place known as the Gentle Fire Grid. This grid was unlike any other; it was a warm, welcoming community where avatars from all corners of the virtual world gathered to share stories, create art, and celebrate together.

As Christmas approached, the Gentle Fire Grid buzzed with excitement. The avatars decorated their virtual homes with twinkling lights, digital wreaths, and pixel-perfect Christmas trees. The air was filled with the sound of cheerful carols and the scent of virtual gingerbread cookies.

One chilly December evening, the grid's founder, a wise and kind avatar named Santa Mint, decided to host a grand Christmas party. Invitations were sent out to all the neighboring grids, including the renowned OpenSim. The message read, "Merry Christmas from Gentle Fire Grid to OpenSim! Join us for a night of joy, laughter, and celebration with live singer's and DJ's"

On the night of the party, avatars from OpenSim arrived, their digital forms glowing with anticipation. They were greeted with open arms and warm smiles. The Gentle Fire Grid had prepared a feast of virtual delicacies, from pixelated plum pudding to holographic coffee.

As the night went on, the avatars shared stories of their adventures, exchanged gifts, and danced under the shimmering lights of the virtual sky. Santa Mint stood by the grand Christmas tree, watching the joy spread across the grid. It was a night to remember, a night where the boundaries of the digital world melted away, and the true spirit of Christmas shone brightly.

And so, the Gentle Fire Grid and OpenSim celebrated together, creating memories that would last a lifetime. It was a reminder that no matter where you are, the warmth of community and the magic of Christmas can bring everyone together.

After building the glass house, it gave me an idea, a log home. This log home is partial mesh and partial prim the mesh is modifiable only in that you can re texture it. It has large glass windows to provide a beautiful view, a built in fireplace, cedar and tile floors, spiral steps, carved wood doors and stain glass windows and beautifully carved wood baluster for the kitchen area and a acacia wood and stained glass baluster for the loft. It's a home I could live in for sure. It's full perm and free here at the mall and you will find it next to the "Ancient Builds" which is listed on the Kiosk Teleporter. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

White hoarfrost on the trees
and the snow invites you to dream,
the branches glisten like frost
and the lake shines clear as cold,
the sun shines in the rich blue
of the sky and wherever I look
I see snow on the edge of the forest,
oh, you winter wonderland.

Found a parking space for the X-Wing over at the store. Flew her over from Luna Starbase after giving her a new PBR paint job. Might be time again to give her some exercise flying across the grid.

Made by Lain Iwakura of Iwakura Systems and scripted by Armenious Horada. I helped Lain with the model upload issues and some of the texturing and also helped with flight testing. They have some interesting hud, weapons, and flight characteristics. Armenious has moved on to other projects outside of Opensim and Lain is no longer making the models though she is still on Kitely. Their entire inventory of about 20 ships was given to me as a trust to preserve. I'll eventually display them all at Starbase.

You can see the X-Wing at the store next to the cinema. HG Address is grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

When creating my metal for jewelry I found @FredFerderix Outworldz Metal Plates, these give the best effects on metal wow. These work well with ceilings too https://outworldz.com/cgi/free-seamless-textures.plx?c=Met...
