The new Safari season is well underway, and here are a few posts about places we've been to so far...
A really clever Maze by Forest Azure and Poppy Fields that entertains and promotes hypergrid adventures. OSgrid features heavily in this new season - join us if you can, there are 8 weeks of trips ahead of us, upcoming tours are always advertised on OSW in Events, it's Wednesdays at 12 noon SLT.

A trip to see the legendary Lofoten Islands, on SoA BAD and Siwas' grid - always a delight!
Plus this post about a 9/11 memorial on LFGrid .

Quick (couple of) question to OS Community:
- Do many of you still use (and prefer) Gianni?
- Do many of you use perky versions of bodies?
Thinking in terms of effort (because there are ENDLESS bodies with add-ons now) and that's it's extremely hard to cater for everyone in terms of clothing.
Thinking about whether is worth

Greetings OSW,

Exotic Realities (a new adult RP grid, not officially opened yet, coming early in 2025) is pleased to announce that we are releasing a modified and upgraded version of the reborn and waifu bodies, complete with lots of bug fixes, a dedicated Waifu version with complete functionality, and both default and custom material capabilities. We have given some of our friends the ability to distribute this for us at their stores. You can find it at the two locations below!

Loc 1 > hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques NW/833/813/35
Loc 2 > hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques NE/385/105/25

By popular demand, I'm now adding some add-ons for the Reborn 3.0 body I posted a few days ago, they include the Juice Rolls, Soft Arms, and Soft Thighs all scripted to auto-hide and receive materials changes from the body! Since my grid is still being developed, even though my store region is up, my new friends at Sciatti Shops, has offered to put them out for everyone to grab, I thank them very much! You can get them here > https://imgur.com/e5ByT58 > hop://sciattisigrid.it:8002/SciattiShopClothes/14/176/23

Sadly... It seems there's a loss of interest among the general population for all things metaverse... People are moving on to other games, or not playing games at all any more, and taking on additional real life work to offset the crazy inflation happening around the world... I've noticed huge down turns in the numbers of people getting into virtual worlds lately. Can't say I blame 'em... All the name calling, in fighting, back biting, hate spewing, trolling, and worse going around.
But it is what it is... What is it? You ask... Well, it's such a huge reduction in numbers that only a small percentage of "hard-core" virtual lifers remain... It's sad... It's unfortunate... We have seen many grids recently shutting their doors and I fear we will see many more admins clicking the red power off button in the future. Anyway to all those leaving, I bid you safe travels, and a happy life. Remember us few lone die-hard souls forever permafrosted into the fabric of the metaverse...

A stunning render of Fantasy Land, a quaint and whimsical village of mushroom houses. The scene features adorable, colorful houses with mushroom caps, each with unique architectural details. An inviting pathway winds through the village, leading to a cozy-looking central gathering spot. The soft, glowing sunlight creates a warm atmosphere, and the surrounding forest is filled with vibrant flora and fauna.

Möge die Weihnachtszeit euch eine Pause des Alltags schenken und euch Zeit geben, die wirklich wichtigen Dinge zu schätzen. Inmitten der Hektik des Lebens ist es diese Zeit des Jahres, die uns daran erinnert, was wirklich zählt: Familie, Freunde und die Liebe, die wir teilen. Frohe Weihnachten allen !!!

As many of you wonderful peeps out there know Diva, who created this region, sadly passed away in December 2020. We have kept the region live by request from her family and from the many users who frequently visit this region. We continue to update the region and have done a little cleanup as our wonderful Diva passed in the middle of part of the build. Dynamic Worldz will continue to sponsor this region as so many of you find it so valuable.

Priscilla paid me a visit. She couldn't do anything to my sim... at all... But I hit her with a bolt of lightning seen here in this video, also with an elven attack, and orbiters (lol), followers, and a clouder. heheheh Double click the picture for a bigger view of priscilla hanging helplessly in the air, being jerked around by magic. hahahaha. She finally got mad and ran off... :)

Uhmmm I made a thing that detects greifers in sandboxes and kicks and bans them. Check this out. It's also a 3d radar, and shows people flying around and moving around on the sim. Get yours at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:FreeMagic

DMCA blah blah: Everything has to be passed on to CMT. Just as we got it from the creator. Later access changes go by our ass. For lawyers: info@rakisworld.ch IGE IPI CH
Charge for your own work, but take everything from others for free !? Steal all CMT right and left and pass on NO mod, NO copy, NO trance. Those are the ones that should be banned from OS!

Best Regards
Rakis Heron

🇬🇧 Our Yes ❤️💍

Not where festive church bells are ringing,
not where flowers line the way.
In a room filled with worry,
we will speak our vows and say “yes” anyway.

Cancer may weaken your body,
and no one knows how much time remains.
But there is one thing it can never take:
the love between us that stays.

I hold your hand within my own,
as I have held it every day.
And tomorrow I will say “I do,”
because love can be stronger than fear.

However long the road before us,
however hard tomorrow may be:

Today we are two people who love each other.
Tomorrow we are two – united forever. ❤️

🇩🇪 Unser Ja ❤️💍

Nicht dort, wo Glocken festlich klingen,
nicht dort, wo Blumen Wege säumen.
In einem Zimmer voller Sorgen
sagen wir Ja zu unseren Träumen.

Der Krebs mag deinen Körper schwächen,
und uns bleibt ungewiss die Zeit.
Doch was er niemals nehmen kann,
ist unsere Liebe, die uns bleibt.

Ich halte deine Hand in meiner,
wie ich sie hielt an jedem Tag.
Und morgen sage ich dir „Ja“,
weil Liebe stärker sein kann als die Angst.

Wie lang der Weg auch vor uns liegt,
wie schwer auch das Morgen sei:

Heute sind wir zwei, die sich lieben.
Morgen sind wir zwei – für immer vereint. ❤️

La beauté renaît dans les ruines…

Après un temps dans l’ombre, Luxuria ouvre à nouveau ses portes !

✨ Diamonds are the girl’s best friends – und manchmal sind sie mehr als das.

Sie sind das Funkeln, das jede Bewegung begleitet, das leise Versprechen von Stil und Selbstbewusstsein.

Diese Schmuckstücke erzählen keine einzelnen Geschichten – sie fließen ineinander wie Glanz und Eleganz. Halsketten, Schulterketten und Fußschmuck verschmelzen zu einem Statement: Luxus mit Persönlichkeit.

Ein Hauch von Glamour, ein Augenzwinkern von Rebellion, und das Gefühl, dass jedes Detail zählt. BK Mode fängt genau diesen Moment ein – wenn Schmuck nicht nur getragen, sondern gelebt wird. Denn wahre Schönheit ist nicht laut – sie strahlt.

There are people in every community who give everything and ask for nothing in return. In the OpenSimulator metaverse, Fred Beckhusen — known to thousands by his avatar name Ferd Frederix — is that person. An engineer, programmer, 3D artist, world-builder, and open source advocate, Fred has spent nearly two decades quietly making OpenSim easier, richer, and more welcoming for everyone who enters it. His tools run on grids around the world. His scripts are embedded in regions he will never visit. His generosity has shaped the virtual lives of people he has never met.

HOW I MAKE VISUAL SHOWS TUTORIAL

I was asked many times about how I create the visual shows such as the ones I made for HIE, just yesterday, the talented artist Tina Bey asked me to explain my process to her. So I decided to create a tutorial in spanish for her, but I quickly realized that this work should benefit more people; with this in mind, I created the English and French versions.
I really hope the tutorial is clear enough to be understood. Anyway I can help you if you are more questions.

The tutorial is available in SOUP section in Cherry Freebies region

pangeagrid.de:8002:Cherry Freebies

Here I am in front of the x-mas tree Luna Lunaria built for me one day before she passed away and put at her house in NORGE sim.
RIP, my friend. Hope you next life u still can build and script and it be a nice and lovely shinny PBR one like stuffs you had built here :)
