💥 BK-Mode für Legacy – Männer, die Mode nicht nur tragen, sondern leben

Hier kommt die neue Generation von „gut angezogen“:
Ein bisschen Rebell, ein bisschen Gentleman – und immer bereit, die Regeln zu brechen.

Ob weiß, schwarz oder alles dazwischen:
Diese Outfits sagen nicht „Ich hab mich schick gemacht“,
sondern „Ich bin einfach so“.

Frech genug für die Straße, edel genug fürs Dinner –
BK -Mode zeigt, dass Männermode heute mehr kann als nur gut aussehen:
Sie erzählt Geschichten. Und manchmal auch kleine Skandale.

Sandbox update! Building supplies are growing.

I’ve started adding more resources to the Sandbox area to help builders create and experiment more easily. New additions now include doors, mesh parts, and building supplies, with more tips, tricks, and learning materials planned along the way.

The goal is simple: a place to explore, learn, build, break things, rebuild them better, and create without pressure.

Stop by, tinker, experiment, and see what’s new. More pieces will continue appearing as the sandbox evolves.

Build something amazing. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Sandbox

I want to tell you a story about happiness,
it starts so softly, somewhere deep inside.
I close my eyes and drift into a dream,
where the world feels lighter for a while.

I see a unicorn, straight from a fairytale,
its touch so gentle, calm and pure.
I ride away with it through silver skies,
believing for a moment in something unreal.

Then I laugh and I stop right there,
because I know what truly stays.

The real happiness is standing next to me,
no fantasy, no distant star.
Just loving moments, warm and true,
right here, right where we are.

So I don’t tell a legend made of light,
I tell the truth, so simple and real.
About your smile in winter snow,
about the way your presence feels.

The real happiness walks hand in hand,
through snow, through time, through night.
No magic creature, no perfect plan,
just us, and it feels right.

In falling snow we lose all words,
just breath, just laughter, just now.
The world grows quiet around our hearts,
and nothing else matters somehow.

Arm in arm we slowly fall asleep,
our dreams begin to blend.
And I know, so softly, so clear:
This is happiness.
And it stays.

Good morning OpenSimmers! It's Memorial Day Weekend in the States. Please remember to honor our fallen soldiers and thank them for the sacrifice they made for us to have the freedoms we enjoy here everyday! Here's wishing y'all a happy & safe weekend.

We imported an oar from another grid during a transfer and it had a botched bowling alley in it. Didn't realize it was replicating "physical" bowling pins all over the grid. lol. it got to the point where nobody could move like walking in molasses rubber bands. So I made this module to put physics to sleep when nobody is around. :) so we spent all day hunting down every last bowling pin and destroying it, which was tricking because they weren't showing up in area search and many of them were in 0,0,0 corners of regions all over the grid so we had to excavate and go deep-sea diving to find them. So now the grid is running smooth and no crashes. yay. The module is here maybe it's useful. it puts physical prims to sleep if nobody is on the region so it reduces the work of the physics engine. If someone drops by it magically wakes up all the physical prims. https://opensimworld.com/post/131135

First an idea. Then the drawing. Then realization. Created in Rhino from scratch using curves, extrusion, and capping, with cabochons and beading using array along the curve. No AI then, Just imagination, design, and craftsmanship. When you learn the tools anything is possible. The key is to try the tools and addons. Blender has wonderful addon called JewelCraft https://blender-addons.org/jewelcraft/. Spend just a few minutes a day learning it and in no time you will be creating wonderful designs. Some say I really don't need jewelry in virtual but when you replicate your grandmothers ring or learn to do that for others it is wonderful. I once created a book locket and a grandmother's ring for someone those are my most fond memories. Thank you for the requests. I was asked have I tried MeshyAI in jewelry creating, not yet but I have played a bit with MeshyAI and yes I see how it can create wonderful mesh parts for jewelry virtually, not so much for RL jewelry. I recently 3d printed in wax my Peace for Ukraine Pendant and the detail is really nice, the next step is lost wax casting. Give jewelry creating a try, having a ton of fun!!

I see FAR MORE people wanting to learn to use / collaborate with AI effectively than the haters and doomsayers. In that spirit, here are some great and simple tips for prompt engineering:

Yep, It will be at Who Knows On Osgrid In THREE Days!
Welcome to the Rogue-Grid Dungeon Kit! This modular, open-source
toolkit allows grid owners to easily deploy a plug-and-play, interactive
roguelike game loop on any OpenSim region.

This kit runs on 100% pure, native LSL. It requires NO special OSSL
server permissions or .ini file modifications. It is fully compatible
with Standalone, Robust, Diva, and Hypergrid destinations!

Testing UTF-8 First/Last name and profiles. I've made changes on the server to enable this functionality on Holoneon Grid. Probably doesn't work to TP off-grid, but it's a first test. Unfortunately the viewers are still seemingly stuck in the year 2003 and don't allow UTF8 in FirstName/LastName login fields, but it's a simple patch and rebuild to allow PrintableUTF8NoSpace instead of boring ASCII :) I think a good number of users or potential users are in countries that aren't limited to English characters. :)

Ozone System Standards— A Clarification Nobody Asked For But Everyone Needed

Dismayland used to enforce a SYSTEM AVATAR requirement. We lifted it. Adult avatars which meet the SYSTEM requirement pass without any problem. Height complaints are coming in and Dirty Helga wants the System Avatar rule reinstated.

Ozone enforces SYSTEM STANDARDS. Not YOUR standards. The ones baked in by the OpenSim developers themselves. If the developers wanted child-proportioned avatars in-world, the sliders would allow them. They don't. That was a development choice. We honor it. Dismayland has NO real-world standards and is not auditioning for any. We run the software the way its creators intended. If your poorly rigged attachment stack is triggering the scanner, you will be processed accordingly.

I am not maintaining a whitelist of ripped mesh from twenty different grids of dubious origin so that waist-height avatars can squeak through. Every grid worth visiting provides starter avatars. Our Atrius Station has them. Dismayland is well worth the the extra effort some visitors will need to make to enjoy the experience.

ok so adding this here till i set another sim new item @ my Moonshine Creations Shop hope ya'll enjoy hugs Mystic~s

sorry if ya couldnt get this should be able to buy or copy it both ways and ,,,,,everything in the Moonshine Creations Shop is now fixed to copy or buy @0...seems something woped out my checkmarks lol

Siam Thai Street Food on the pedestrian access side of Mermaid Lane. I've been trying to finish this section for awhile. Still some props work for the walkway but Siam was the last of the little shops and restaurants:)

Not a ton of food offerings here yet. And I didn't make the Pad Thai. It's a Sketchfab find. But I did make the Iced Thai Coffee:)

🌿 May group Gift in Samsara--Synced Tai Chi Balls 🌿

Perfect Synchronicity

The month of May arrives with soft air and steady breath,
and with it, a new gift from Samsara.

For this month, I offer a set of Tai Chi poseballs,
fully rescripted, rebuilt from the ground up,
and now moving in perfect synchronicity the moment you link them.

Place them on your land, your garden, your beach, your dojo
invite friends, visitors, or your whole circle.
Everyone who sits will flow together in one calm rhythm,
a shared movement, a shared breath.

These Tai Chi balls are made for peace,
for connection,
for that quiet moment where the world slows down
and avatars move like water.

A small May offering from Samsara,
to bring harmony wherever you place them.

New Feature added. Create an account in Firestorm. Enter desired First Name and Last Name in Firestorm login at bottom of your screen, then desired password in password field. If the account already exists it will attempt to log you in. If the account does not exist it will magically create a new account for you and log you in.

need to add hg.holoneon.com:80 to grid manager (Control + p) in viewer, then find OpenSim tab near bottom.

supposedly a hop link should add it, maybe you can try.

Person told me today that it's weird. That I should just have account creation like Second Life. Thanks for the suggestion, you gonna open up your pocket book lady? :) There's plenty of grids out there, so have fun!

https://maze.bz/OARConv.html is where you can get my new FIRESTORM UPLOAD BYPASSER. You must have access to a console to upload the oar you create. It makes the physics block for you, it chunks the mesh. I have brought in meshes with as many as 3 million verts...up to 20 at a time so far. Largest oar was 4 gigs. Break it I dare you. See the picture or if you want to see the meshes go here hop://maze.bz:7002/Mesh%20Museum/128/128/26 which is a work in progress. If you have a slow machine well..grab a meal while you wait but here are some pictures.

testing Avatar Dehydration/Rehydration. We modified the teleporter code to speed up TPs especially cross-continental. should be live this evening if all goes well. The process is user teleports - > appears dehydrated and sent to IPFS -> minimal av appears on destination region -> appearance rehydrated -> yay
