AhAh, I doubt that Google will be able to translate it. Truly. Google will not be able to digest the dialect.

Just one example of words that you can find in the roman of R. Brun. Yenche : the orthographe is an attempt to translate what is said phonetically. It means : «rien que », depending of context it could be translated in English by « only that » or simply « only »

Choisissez toujours votre propre bonheur et si cela signifie bloquer des personnes ou ne pas participer du tout à ce site Web… c'est un choix valable. Vous êtes une personne très gentille, serviable et chaleureuse et vous ne devriez pas avoir à faire face à ce type de misère. Laissez les haineux vous haïr et continuez à être votre incroyable moi. Gros câlins !

Yes, true. John Lennon's "Imagine" didn't bring world peace, either. But still I believe sharing good vibes and expressing the sentiment that we are SO tired of all the hatred here can't be a bad thing.

True that..I have always wondered why negative still have much power even when there is loads of people which sees positive brings more to life what ever that life is rl or virtual

Hah. I ripped a copy of me from RL and will be distributing myself here until the original creator files a DMCA ;) But yes, you are so right, Safine. I also agree with Sylvia. Not feeding the trolls will deprive them of the attention they seek and things won't get out of hand or as much as I see happening here a lot. They really are a very small minority, just a really vocal one.

Good morning and Happy New year! I think this is a very valid topic to discuss. I am fairly (about 6 months) new to Opensim. And Marianna is right, it does feel intimidating to see all the amazing work out there, which is why so far I have stuck to being a decorator and landscaper, and modding some of my finds with my own textures, ripping walls out of buildings, that sort of thing. But to create from scratch.. even though I can as long as it's prims/textures etc. I find it hard to start. Why even try to build when there's people out there who do it so much better than I will be able to at least for years to come. I have already benefitted from the "What are you looking for group" which put me in touch with places to get stuff I could not find anywhere on my own, so a big thank you to Nico for that. For me, a Discord group where I could just ask people with way more knowledge than myself for help with issues I encounter would be super helpful. But I also need to be realistic. What I have also found is that the whole "Sharing s caring" concept doesn't go for everyone. Even the 100% ripped from SL stuff that every freebie place offers is often offered as contents only, so without the box, or no transfer and even no modify sometimes making it impossible for others to "share it forward". On one of my first days here someone said to me "it's Opensim, it has more clubs than people" and for a large part, I find this to be true for stores and creations, too. So yes, I fear an initiative like this would wither and die. But I would also LOVE to be proven wrong. Just my 2 cents.

"Sharing is caring" is a 2010s thing. It was pushed so hard for one particular reason: Those who imported SL content wanted it to spread across the freebie stores on the Hypergrid in order to obfuscate how it got into SL in the first place. Hence also "Share with no mercy" and "Share or die".

If something was no-transfer, it was either an original creation, or it was due to licensing, or someone has set full-perm content to no-transfer to make it useless for builders of new and therefore competing freebie sims. As if you couldn't pick the same stuff up elsewhere.

Nowadays, it's very different. The owners of newer freebie stores rip and import their stuff themselves. And they're in direct competition with each other. Everyone wants to offer the newest, hottest stuff a) first and b) exclusively. Including bodies.

You make a lot of good points. I'm not a fan of discord (ironically since I'm on like 80 odd servers) but some sort of repository where people can go to for help would be nice. But that takes us back to the 'withering on the vine' problem.

"What I have also found is that the whole "Sharing s caring" concept doesn't go for everyone. Even the 100% ripped from SL stuff that every freebie place offers is often offered as contents only, so without the box, or no transfer and even no modify sometimes making it impossible for others to "share it forward".

Yeah, that is a valid point, a very fair critique. I'm not touching the issue though because it's getting too far a-field away from the topic of *building* and into *distributing* and more importantly...I don't have the spoons for the ensuing flame war. 😉

Sciattisgrid https://opensimworld.com/hop/93159 has a few of the Lelutka heads out in a 4.0 version with HUD and some options the R.Lion heads don't have. It's a work in progress, they say they are working on bringing more of them. Fastest way to find them is to search for "Avalon" in area search when you land, then TP right to them.

oh thanks, I've been to Sciattisgrid a few times recently but didn't notice if the heads were any different than anywhere else. I'll look again!

I am so sorry this almost led to your cancelling your account. Please know that the haters, the troublemakers and the people leaving nasty comments that are extremely hurtful are a small minority. A very vocal one, but still a really small group. it seems bigger than it is because they tend to create multiple alts and accounts here. 5 days old = almost certainly someone we've seen here before being an idiot. I have visited your place on multiple occasions and you did some amazing work there. So thank you, I realize this is not said enough. I also know Adore and gentle Fire grid and they never did anything that even remotely upset me. I'm also pretty positive Adore = not you :) anyways, i wanted to reach out and let you know that you are appreciated. Let the haters hate, block anyone who seems to be one and your life will be so much easier. Big fat hugs, merry Christmas!

I've tried clicking the link in your post, and also pasting into the map then "find" like shown in your video. It keeps saying region not found. I have also tried the 'via the map" method, leaving out the "hop" bit, and also tried replacing "hop" by "Http:" .

Jupiter you are a fountain of Opensim knowledge, thank you so much! I am mostly looking for Athena stuff for women and Gianni/Adonis/Apollo for men. I know the Legacy/LaraX etc. things are hard/impossible to find and I have no issues with buying those and bringing them to Opensim. As for the older stuff.. I plan to over time retexture things and/or create outfits with multiple items from multiple makers. It's a work in progress really, but I need to start somewhere so i figured to get boxed stuff so at least there is some content whilst I work over time on doing something a bit more original :) I will check out the stores you mentioned, thank you!
