Holi est de retour… 🌸✨

Un lieu hors du temps où méditation, relaxation et sensualité se rencontrent à nouveau pour vous accueillir dans une atmosphère douce et apaisante.

Ce renouveau n’aurait pas été possible sans la générosité et la confiance des propriétaires de la grid Bloodmoon, que nous remercions chaleureusement pour leur soutien précieux.

L’aventure continue… et Holi n’attend plus que vous 💫

Holi is back… 🌸✨

bloodmoonpack.com:8002:Holi

A timeless place where meditation, relaxation, and sensuality come together once again to welcome you into a soft and soothing atmosphere.

This revival would not have been possible without the generosity and trust of the owners of the Bloodmoon grid, whom we warmly thank for their invaluable support.

The journey continues… and Holi is now waiting for you 💫

bloodmoonpack.com:8002:Holi

I reached a point where everything became clear, where respect was missing, where my self-motivation was questioned, twisted, and quietly pushed down, not because it was wrong, but because it made others uncomfortable,

I am not here to dim my light so others can feel safe in their limits, I am not here to explain my drive to people who choose not to understand it, and I am not here to hand over my energy to jealousy, disguised as opinion,

So I made my choice, calmly, clearly, without noise, I stepped away from what no longer aligned with me, not out of anger, but out of self-respect,

What I build now comes from truth, from strength, from a place where my motivation is protected, valued, and fully my own, and no one will take that away from me again,

p.s Translation: new revamp of the MAGABAGA SPACEPORT: GO to SIM EUROPA, and then take either the magabagaba maglev tram or the TP to EUROPA SPACEPORT.

Happy Veneralia today! Ancient Roman festival celebrated annually on April 1st to honor Venus Verticordia. Venus as the goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality, specifically asking her to turn hearts toward virtue, betrothal, and marriage.

A NEW PHASE IN DEVELOPMENT

So many changes have been made to Dismayland that we needed a NEW MAP! We would love to post more pictures but Management has advised us that "evidence" is a liability. What we CAN tell you is that several new attractions have been added, at least two of them are survivable, and the AFTERLIFE gift shop now stocks items you didn't know you needed and still don't.

Chaos Engine has been installed, tested, and validated across all ride systems. Survivability metrics remain proprietary. The unstoppable and utterly shameless Dale and Marvin Pigeon are the purveyors of secrets, which can be easily coaxed out of them if you just stick around and LISTEN.

Carla Kincaid Yoshikawa created this video to showcase how Opensim is effective when it comes to engaging interactive, experiential, social learning. She filmed part of the Wrong Biennale Synthetic Dreams Exhibit as an example.

✨ LEGACY MEN – Für alle, die nicht nur rumstehen, sondern Eindruck schinden

Die neuen Herren‑Outfits im BK‑Mode Park sind da – und sie haben beschlossen, keine Gefangenen zu machen. Elegante Anzüge, lässige Freizeitlooks und genug Stilpower, um selbst den gelangweiltesten Avatar plötzlich aussehen zu lassen wie: „Ja, ich weiß, ich sehe gut aus. Ist okay.“

Unsere Legacy‑Outfits sind für Männer, die wissen, was sie wollen – oder zumindest so tun, als wüssten sie’s. Ob du gerade einen Business‑Deal einfädelst, einen Club aufmischst oder einfach nur versuchst, nicht wie frisch aus der Sandbox auszusehen: Diese Outfits retten dich. Stilvoll, selbstbewusst und mit genau der richtigen Portion „Ich bin nicht arrogant, ich bin einfach nur gut angezogen.“

Also komm vorbei, schnapp dir deinen Look und lass die anderen Avatare ruhig ein bisschen nervös werden.

CHAOS ENGINE: I made a drop in replacement for the coaster code in the script area which not only improves keyframe playback but also syncs with other vehicles (See our 'Scrambler' type ride Dizzy Wizzy). Most importantly, a 'silent' dice roll at ride start decides if the ride will BREAK, then Dirty Helga's Chaos Package Deploys! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3BvtpuPdR4 Having a BAD DAY at the FAIR was NEVER SO MUCH FUN!

Die Stadt schläft nie – und dein Look sollte es auch nicht. Unsere neue Kollektion ist da und bringt den Puls der Metropole direkt in deinen Kleiderschrank. Inspiriert von moderner Architektur und dem Chaos der Rush Hour haben wir Styles kreiert, die alles mitmachen: vom ersten Meeting bis zum letzten Drink in der Rooftop-Bar.

The Zen Garden of Wishes


The garden unfolds like a quiet breath, a place where the world softens and the heart begins to listen. The red torii stands as a gentle guardian, inviting every visitor to step beyond the ordinary and enter a space shaped by calm water, soft light and the whisper of blossoms drifting through the air. The pond has been cleared and restored to a pure and peaceful state, allowing its surface to reflect the sky with clarity, creating a more serene and deeply zen environment.

The koi sculpture rises with quiet grace, watching over the water as if guiding the flow of thoughts and dreams. Bamboo sways in the background, cherry trees bloom with delicate color and the lanterns glow with a warm and welcoming spirit. Every element speaks softly, encouraging stillness, reflection and the simple beauty of being present.

In the heart of the garden stands the wish balloon, waiting with gentle patience. Visitors may touch it and release a wish, sending their hope into the universe with trust and lightness. It is a small act, yet it carries a sense of magic, a reminder that intention can travel far beyond the boundaries of the garden.

This place is also a sanctuary for love, a setting where couples can walk together, take photographs and capture moments filled with tenderness. The soft colors, the warm glow and the peaceful water create a natural frame for affection, making the garden an ideal place for memories shaped by connection and emotion.

The Zen Garden of Wishes invites every visitor to slow down, breathe deeply and allow the spirit of the place to settle gently around them. It is a space for peace, for dreams and for the quiet beauty that lives in the heart of Samsara @ The TwiztidTimez Grid

With Special Thanks to Chichi Cutey for the wonderful Palace _/\_

The website for the grid is finally back up and Apache is fixed! It took over a week, but i finally fixed it and got it back.

However, our teleport boards are down along with 2 regions.

Please use the maps or hg links until we can resolve these 2 issues. it might take a few times via the map to get to regions.

Thank you all that tried to help me with the Apache issue.

We will fix these issues as soon as we can

here's a map of 256 regions 1024x1024 m each terraformed by ai. with the landscaper module it can be done rapidly i made a separate map tile generator that makes 256pixel square tiles rgba 8bit but looking at changing to 16bit and maybe half-res depending on VRAM usage. the 8bit rgba use about 64mb i suppose. switching to 16bit grayscale will go up to 96mb unless i go half-res. tinker time.. :)

I wanted to share a quick update for those of you who follow my artwork and have joined NightCafe through my links or recommendations over the years.

NightCafe has recently made some major changes to their pricing and credit system. These changes significantly affect how premium members can use the platform, and I’m currently evaluating what this means for my workflow moving forward.

I’ve always been transparent with my community, and I want to continue that now. I’m exploring other platforms and weighing my options to make sure I’m using tools that respect both creators and the people who support them.

No matter what platform becomes my main home, I’ll still be creating and sharing my work. Thank you all for your support, your encouragement, and your creativity — it means more than you know.

I’ll keep you updated as I navigate this shift.
