Hi lovely Starchild Shoppers!
I know some of you have been facing challenges accessing the store. It's been a bit up and down due to some blanket country-wide DDoS attacks (you've probably seen other services WW impacted as well).
Anyway, up now, but might be up and down until things stabilise. I have enabled an uptime notification, but if it's not up: it's not you, grid might be down!
Love and stellar blessings!
Aurora

🤣 SPONTANEOUS AT BUDZ!

No plans. No warning. Probably no idea what’s going on. 😂
Just good music, drinks, questionable dance moves and whatever chaos decides to turn up
11AM grid time
📍 BUDZ
hop://grid.virtual-worlds.zone:8002/Budz/595/553/26

Turn up. Get weird. Blame the vibes. 🍻🔥

🚨 SPONTANEOUS PARTY ALERT 🚨

DJ LIGHT RAY HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING.
We have absolutely no idea who authorised this.
We’re pretty sure nobody booked it.
And frankly… it’s far too late to stop it now. 😂

🎧 TECHNO
🏙️ CCC ROOFTOPS
🔥 BAD DECISIONS
🕚 11 AM GRID TIME

Come for the music.
Stay because you can no longer remember where your shoes went.

DJ LIGHT RAY — turning perfectly normal mornings into questionable life choices since approximately 11 AM. 🤣

📍 Ocean38
hop://grid.virtual-worlds.zone:8002/ocean38/122/108/22

NO PLAN. NO WARNING. JUST TECHNO. 🔥🎧

I would like to warmly thank everyone who attended the vigil in memory of Azraella last night. It was a beautiful moment, and I know there will be others.
We gathered around a memorial in her honor—one that will remain in place. Everyone is welcome to visit and leave a token in her memory.

hop://grid.virtual-worlds.zone:8002/VWZ%20Welcome/122/169/...

The photo accompanying this post is not of Azraella, but of one of her virtual artists, Tiggy Roy—an artist I have been a fan of since day one. While the physical features may differ, the heartfelt message suits her perfectly.

Rest in peace, my friend.

My Suitcase - I have heard recent complaints about the system. When you travel to another grid your inventory is blocked except for 1) items you are already wearing and 2) items in "My Suitcase".

At Holoneon we decided to make it user configurable. If you want to turn off the "My Suitcase" feature and have access to your full inventory when going to an HG destination, you can issue a command in local chat. You can also check the status and re-enable My Suitcase using a command.

Here are the commands:

Commands

/19341 suitcase on
/19341 suitcase off
/19341 suitcase status
/19341 suitcase default

"default" turns it "on" (the Holoneon grid default)

NOTE: you have to set your preference _before_ teleporting to an HG destination.

Popup Party! Come on down, let’s have some fun! 😂
Good music, good people, questionable dancing… and absolutely no responsibility for what happens after the first tune. 🤣

📍hop://grid.virtual-worlds.zone:8002/Buds/130/120/23
🕒 Now till 3 PM

Bring your dancing shoes… or don’t. Adrian won’t judge.

UPDATED AND FIXED, please delete all previous versions, available at our main landing, under the Teleport HUB boards for anyone that needs a new version!

Live mix : DJ CRAZY - Peak time Techno

Adults Only! Nur Erwachsene !
Taxi: hg.osgrid.org:80:FLORES SeaVibes
░░▒▓◙█◙█◙ CC-CLUB ◙█◙█◙▓▒░░

I’ll be performing a live peak-time techno mix in a railway tunnel tonight; you are all cordially invited to this special event,the first ever tunnel rave in OpenSim!

An electrifying, high-energy sound awaits you,perfect for the night’s most intense moments. It not only unleashes maximum energy but also sets the dance floor on fire, keeping the momentum unstoppable. It is a sound you feel deep in your chest, one that heightens the shared experience and creates moments of pure, unfiltered ecstasy.

The foundation consists of powerful kick drums,hypnotic basslines, and melodic elements infused with acid and industrial influences. These sounds are designed to captivate attention and sustain both physical and emotional engagement. The tempo is high, yet the true essence of the music lies in its atmosphere, it´s a blend of raw power and a hypnotic mood. The magic of Peak time Techno lies in its ability to create a shared state of euphoria, drawing the audience into a pulsating rhythm while the outside world fades completely into the background.

Ich werde heute Nacht in einem Eisenbahn Tunnel Peak time Techno live mixen,ihr seit alle herzlichst dazu eingeladen zu diesem Special Event, dem ersten Tunnel Rave in OPENSIM.

Es erwartet euch der elektrisierende,energiegeladene Sound für die intensivsten Momente der Nacht, der nicht nur die maximale Energie freisetzt, sondern auch die Tanzfläche zum Kochen bringt und den Schwung unaufhaltsam aufrecht erhält.Es ist ein Sound den man tief in der Brust spürt, der das Gemeinschaftserlebnis steigert und Momente purer ungefilterter Extase schafft.
Das Fundament sind kraftvolle Bass Drums – hypnotische Basslinien und melodische Klangelemente,mit Acid und industriell geprägt.Die Sounds haben die Aufgabe Aufmerksamkeit zu fesseln und die körperliche und emotionale Beteiligung aufrechtzuerhalten.Das Tempo ist hoch, die wahre Essenz der Sounds liegt in der Atmosphäre mit Kraft und hypnotischer Stimmung. Die Magie des Peak Time Techno liegt in seiner Fähigkeit einen gemeinsamen euphorischen Zustand zu erzeugen, der das Publikum in einen pulsierenden Rhythmus hineinzieht, während die Aussenwelt völlig in den Hintergrund tritt.

***SPECIAL NOTICE***
Hello peoplez, here is a special message for all sim owners, who think they can't use ubODE, because it makes a mess of oldschool buildings--- u can't enter anymore.
Good news: u cán use ubode, BUT, not with the, supposedly mandatory ubode mesher!
Instead, use the classic Meshmerizer!
Yes, it produces a red warning on your command console, but, you can safely ignore that.
I have been using that Meshmerizer with ubode for more than a year....never any issue.
And: you can safely try it out: if, for whatever reason, ur not happy, simply revert the changes. On my personal experience, I might add: I prefer ubODE in any case, its faster,more reliable and uses less resources.
SO......make yourself a happy camper and ....ZZZZZWITCH.
Good luck!
Peter
P.S: if u have questions, complaints, anything, let me know!

Free gift at the Sage and Sea, which is Sweet Spot's restaurant. Also at the Clubhouse bar. Touch for a cracker.
I also added a placemat with foods for your table. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002/Sweet%20Spot/308/610/22
Nobody should ever be hungry in virtual, it needs a warning label though as it might make you reach for more RL snacks :)

My Tears
Sometimes I wonder when we stopped truly seeing each other. Too often, people meet with hatred, prejudice, or indifference, even though deep inside we all long for understanding and a little kindness.
This tear is not only a symbol of my own sadness. It carries the sorrow of everyone who suffers when love is replaced by hate, when words become weapons, and when we forget that we all share the same sky.
Perhaps a single tear cannot change the world. But it reminds us that compassion is still alive. And as long as compassion exists, hope has not disappeared.
💜

New at The Shops at Stonehaven and at OSHBC's store!

We have just added several items to the stores. Now that the Littlefield Admins have time to work on our RLV scripting we are thrilled to offer the following new items!!

Steel and Rubber Cuffs (arm and leg)
Padded Cuffs (arm)
Leather Cuffs (arm)
Female Chastity Belt
Male Chastity Cage
Plug Panel Gag

And a few fetish clothing items...

The Female Belt and Clothing are for Athena based avatars only at this time (sorry everyone....).
The other items will work with any avatar.

All of the items have been scripted by us and for the first time in OpenSim - they RETAIN the locking and keyholder status on relog and teleport!
We have done some Hypergrid testing and their operation is quite random depending on what version of OpenSim the grid you are hypergridding to is running.
We've seen about an 80% success rate when HG travelling, although if scripts are not active where you Hypergrid to, you may not be able to manipulate the menu.

We have hundreds of other items in the works... Stay tuned...

REEL8 Fishing System HUD v3.5 out now - Available at any of the current Beat Testing Fishing Zones listed here: https://reel8fish.com/map --- Toss out your old HUDs, this new version has the "Last Catch" feature fully working as well as other enhancements - The frame lights-up when you Land a Rare or Ultra-Rare Fish, different Colors so you can instantly recognize that it's time to take a Screenshot!
