🌊 A Note from Mermaid’s Cove 🌊

Dear friends,

Due to illness in my family, I’ll be stepping back for a little while. Mermaid’s Cove will remain open for your enjoyment, but The Golden Dreams Ballroom and The Blue Grotto will be closed for events for a few weeks.

I truly hope to be back soon. When I return, DJ Macy, Putrisolo, and I will bring you even more wonderful events to enjoy together and prepare for new live singers and DJs at the cove too!

In the meantime, please make yourselves at home in the cove —
• enjoy the shopping,
• relax on the beaches,
• explore the carnival,
• and take a swim in Mermaid Lagoon.

There is 24/7 music, and the club and ballroom spaces remain open for dancing with someone special.

Thank you for your understanding, your kindness, and for keeping the spirit of Mermaid’s Cove shining.

With love,
Jojo and Harmony

✨ BK Mode – Gianni neu gedacht ✨

Klassisch war gestern langweilig. Heute trägt Gianni Stil mit Haltung – und zwar in vier Varianten, die zeigen, dass „klassisch“ auch richtig Spaß machen kann. Die Outfits spielen souverän mit Kontrasten: mal elegant mit einem Hauch Rebellion, mal urban mit einem Twist, mal edel mit einem Augenzwinkern.

Hier trifft zeitlose Silhouette auf mutige Details, cleane Linien auf selbstbewusste Akzente, und ein bisschen Extravaganz schadet nie – im Gegenteil, sie macht den Look erst richtig Gianni.

BK Mode beweist damit wieder einmal: Man muss nicht laut sein, um aufzufallen. Aber ein bisschen Funkeln, ein bisschen Attitüde und ein bisschen „Ich weiß genau, was ich tue“ schaden absolut nicht.

Kurz gesagt: Gianni bleibt klassisch – aber garantiert nie wieder langweilig.

The Paradise is done

Well, almost done. On the one hand, Vanaheim, with its free islands designed by the tenants, really is a paradise in the “2nd Sanctuary” grid. On the other hand, there’s still plenty of new things to come. And now we’re one step further along.
The first section of the walking trail is complete and ready to welcome visitors. Almost two kilometres of trail lead across seven islands, each with its own character. Every hiker should be able to find their favourite spot. Explore the trail. From east to west or vice versa. On foot, on horseback or by bike. Tired of walking? Then make use of the rest areas or relax on one of the many boats along the way. Or perhaps a longer break in one of the two beach houses? If a house is free, it’s yours for as long as you stay.

In the Welcome Region and at the landing point on the ship from Vanaheim, you’ll find teleporters (hiking map) to the trail’s starting points.
Have a lovely trip.



Das Paradis ist fertig

Nunja, beinahe fertig. Einerseits ist Vanaheim mit seinen von den Mietern gestalteten kostenlosen Inseln wirklich ein Paradis im '2nd Sanctuary' Grid. Andererseits soll noch viel neues entstehen. Und nun sind wir wieder einen Schritt weiter.
Der erste Abschnitt des Wanderwegs ist fertig und erwartet seine Besucher. Fast zwei Kilometer Weg führen über sieben Inseln, die jeweils ihren eigenen Charakter haben. Jeder Wanderer sollte seinen Lieblingsplatz finden können. Erforsche den Weg. Von Ost nach West oder umgekehrt. Zu Fuß, zu Pferd oder mit dem Rad. Müde vom Laufen? Dann nutze die Rastplätze oder erhole dich auf einem der vielen Boote am Wegrand. Oder eine längere Pause in einem der 2 Strandhäuser? Wenn ein Haus frei ist, dann gehört es dir solange du bleibst.

Auf der Welcome Region und dem Landepunkt auf dem Schiff von Vanaheim findest du Teleporter (Wanderkarte) zu den Startpunkten des Wanderweges.
Habt einen schönen Ausflug.

Now open to the public: After Dark.

Calling all travelers with a love for old horror novels and fantasy. Step into the book at the landing point and explore a medieval world, a gothic vampire castle owned by count Dracula himself.. find the attic in the boarding house where Victor Frankenstein created his creature or perhaps the room where Edgar Allen Poe wrote his "The Raven".. or maybe you just want to take a stroll around, enjoy the athmosphere and calming music, cuddle by a campfire in the woods (the wolves don't bite.. much) or explore the Citadel in all its glory.

This could be considered a gothic sim but without the gore. No blood fountains here, just a fantasy of ancient times, smoking fires, and something evil lurking. Experience the romance, the melancholy, the loss that was at the root of so many evil things.. experience After Dark. If you dare..

Roleplayers welcomed, explorers welcomed, child avaters not welcomed - Friends Grid is an adult grid.

There are lots of OpenSim users with top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art machines with a high-end Nvidia gaming graphics card running Windows 11 who complain about Firestorm 7 being terribly slow. In comparison with Firestorm 6 even.

I have hardware that was upper-mid-range in 2018 with AMD graphics running Debian GNU/Linux. I've got nothing to complain about how Firestorm 7 is performing. (Of course, literally nobody here will believe me.)

This either means that I've hit a sweet spot in combining hardware and software. And that the combination of a top-range Intel i9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and Windows 11 is actually objectively slower than the combination of an eight-year-old six-core AMD Ryzen CPU, and AMD Radeon RX 590 and Debian. At least when running Firestorm.

Or this means that everyone else considers a two-digit frame rate a slideshow whereas I've happily capped my frame rate at 30.

What I can comprehend even less is that single-threaded Firestorm 6 is supposed to be faster than multi-threaded Firestorm 7 on a CPU with 12, 16, 24 or more threads.

💥 ATHENA MACHT’S AUF IHRE ART – UND ZWAR MIT AUGENZWINKERN

Athena trägt ihre Outfits nicht einfach – sie führt sie aus. Mal mit der Eleganz einer Diva, mal mit der Frechheit einer Frau, die genau weiß, dass alle hinschauen… und es genießt. Ihr Stil bewegt sich irgendwo zwischen „Ich bin Kunst“ und „Ich bin das Chaos, vor dem dich deine Mutter gewarnt hat“ – und genau das macht sie so unwiderstehlich.

Ob glamourös, verführerisch oder rebellisch lässig: Athena schafft es, dass jedes Outfit plötzlich nach „Signature Look“ aussieht. Sie stolziert nicht, sie schwebt. Sie posiert nicht, sie regiert. Und während andere noch versuchen, Trends zu folgen, hat sie längst den nächsten erfunden – aus Versehen, beim Vorbeigehen.

Another update for the cuffs
—---------------------------------
Get them at:

hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/The%20Silvertree%20Cove%20-%20BDSM/...

Cuffs 2603:
- Timer now works in online time and RL time mode
- Self bondage, lock, select pose, and set the timer
- Cuffs status saved in linksetdata, it survives intra-grid teleports and script resets
- New Normal texture for both PBR and NON-PBR
- Compatible with LockMeister and LockGuard furniture
- New original animations
- Movement restriction while bound
- Keyholder
- RLV Lock

Still planning what to do for the next update. Should I make a colour change hud or some bound walking animations?
