Hey guys, I cleaned up my inventory and packed all the drug items into boxes and put them on display at Needful Things. They're waiting for you in the back room of the coffee shop. These are just decorative items, the stuff doesn't really pack a punch. There are also things at the front of the coffee shop that will definitely make your avatar stagger... Have fun with them!

Hallo Leute, ich habe mal mein Inventar aufgeräumt und sämtliche Drogenartikel in Boxen gepackt und auf Needful Things ausgestellt. Sie warten auf euch im Hinterzimmer des Coffeeshops. Es handelt sich dabei nur um Dekoware, das Zeug knallt nicht wirklich rein. Es gibt vorn im Coffeshop auch Sachen, die euren Avatar durchaus zum Wanken bringen... Viel Spaß damit!

The new Mayan Aristocrat House is available in the "Ancient Builds" department at the mall. While I'm using this same build as a shop building, the original was based on a Mayan Aristocrat's "Mayor's House". It's a simple build that is one large room, and it is full perm so you can add too it if you want a 2nd floor, and you can change the textures. The textures that are on it were made via my Magic Studio AI Art program. If you pick it up, I hope you will like it, as it will add character to any region it is used in. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

TODAY at 2 pm Grid time, don't miss it, the Medieval Event at our newest region - Leshmor. I'm writing a book about this region and Amasango, which I am hoping will develop into roleplay. That said, you DO NOT have to be a role player to enjoy this region's beauty and diversity which blends realistic with fantasy natural with unnatural and physical with corporeal with spectral. There is so much to discover and to enjoy so I invite you to visit whenever you can and IF you can come to our celebration at 2 pm. Everyone is welcome.
TIME: 2 pm
PLACE: grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:Leshmor (There is a magical walk-through portal at the point of arrival that will bring you directly to the party.)

🔥 New mystical-decorative gem from Sciattisi! 🔥
Yes, you read that right: today we're going beyond the Zen garden and officially entering the "backyard worship" category.

Here's our brand new and surprising:

Celtic Altar – Special Outdoor Furnishings

Perfect for those who want to give their green space a spiritual touch, a little Druidic, a little Nordic design, and all very scenic.

Here's what the sacred combo includes:

🪨 Stone altar – carved to withstand time, the elements, and the chatter of neighbors.
🔥 Celtic pyre (yes, we're talking real fire!) – to summon ancient spirits.
🍲 2 Offering Bowls to the Gods, one stone and one steel – to use for ritual offerings, incense grains... or maybe chips if friends are coming over.
✨ Polysurface – elegant with dry branches

Today's Irresistible New Arrivals from Sciattisi

Hello, creative! Get ready to fall in love with our latest "Art Cutter" collection... yes, the name is curious, but trust us, the contents are absolutely useful (and elegant too!).

A sturdy desk, perfect for hosting all your brilliant ideas (or incomprehensible cryptography, but those work well too).

3 sets of brushes: soft, colorful, and ready to transform every smudge into "abstract art" (you'll even say it's intentional).

Tempera paints to match every color fantasy—from shocking pink to deep ocean blue, not to mention the shades in between that only your imagination can invent.

2 wall-mounted tempera paint collectors.

A comfortable, friendly-designed chair: sophisticated enough to make you look like a pro, yet cozy enough to make you feel right at home.

All this, with the materials included (no, we didn't hide anything in the corner—I swear!), awaits you at Sciattisi.

Pssst… come and discover how a simple space can become a creative game. And yes, we say it with a smile—because here, even the most lopsided color has a reason to exist.

AI images take no effort or skill. Change my mind.

To make this image i typed just one sentence.

"An overweight red head women sitting in a mound of trash using a desktop computer in the rain."

It literally took no effort on my part and is worthless slop. It has no value and is total garbage.
The AI is good but trying to say it is art feels cheap.

As I am a useless lump of flesh that has no useful purpose. I can now type some crap in a box and get an acceptable picture, for free in under a minute. Am I an artist? Do I now have real skills?
Sure, I imagined a scene and put it into words. It gave me what I asked for. Do I get to take the credit for the image or the creator of the AI?

If i wanted someone to paint a picture for me would it be right to claim I painted it myself?

Do I hate Ai Images? No.
Do I think the prompt writer is an artist with real skills? No. Though they could be in other ways.

If all you post is AI slop then I assume you have no real skill and like asking others to paint you pictures for your entertainment.

Being able to write a sentence that describes a picture and then getting said picture in under a minute is really cool, but it took the user no time effort of skill to do it. The AI creator is the genius, not the prompt writer.
