At the threshold of Ignis Fatuus Grid, time seems to stand still.
In this virtual realm born of OpenSim, stones whisper ancient legends, forests guard their secrets, and paths lead toward horizons steeped in mystery.

From Coralys to Guinguette, from Shalott to Forest Dragon Tower, from Saraneth to Phaedra, from Sybella to Yggdrasil—each region reveals a fragment of a dream, a touch of enchantment, a promise of escape.
Here, castles rise like dreams carved in stone, woods open onto the unknown, and the soul journeys to the rhythm of a medieval world filled with beauty and wonder.

Ignis Fatuus Grid is not merely a place to visit; it is an invitation to wander, to contemplate, and to dream.
A realm of shadow and light, where the imagination finds sanctuary and every step opens the door to an enchanted elsewhere.

Au seuil d’Ignis Fatuus Grid, le temps semble suspendu.
Sur cette terre virtuelle née sous le signe d’OpenSim, les pierres murmurent des légendes anciennes, les forêts gardent leurs secrets, et les chemins conduisent vers des horizons empreints de mystère.

De Coralys à Guinguette, de Shalott à Forest Dragon Tower, de Saraneth à Phaedra, de Sybella à Yggdrasil, chaque région dévoile un fragment de rêve, un éclat de féerie, une promesse d’évasion.
Ici, les châteaux se dressent comme des songes de pierre, les bois s’ouvrent sur l’inconnu, et l’âme voyage au rythme d’un monde médiéval peuplé de beauté et de merveilles.

Ignis Fatuus Grid n’est pas seulement un lieu à visiter : c’est une invitation à errer, à contempler, à rêver.
Un royaume d’ombres et de lumière, où l’imaginaire trouve refuge et où chaque pas ouvre la porte d’un ailleurs enchanté.

The Mantis Scholar doesn't speak often, but when he does, entire civilizations stop to listen.

Patient, observant, and endlessly curious, he has traveled farther than most starships in search of forgotten knowledge, impossible questions, and the perfect cup of stardust tea.

If you happen to find him at the Last Restaurant at the End of the Universe, don't rush the conversation. He has been known to pause for several minutes before answering a question—and somehow, the answer is always worth the wait.

Hello, roaming flock lovers!
Its been a mental rollercoaster, past months, to try and get a real smooth flying flocksie....and I slammed into the deadly hard Opensim limit of 20Hz....
It explains why people introduced things like KeyFramedMotion, to divide that gap into pieces---at the cost of a nasty load of events..
Which I explicitly ruled out of my world, since it would kill my place with 250+ roaming animals. So, I went into a crazy trench warfare with chatbots to find a solution, and, we've found a few nice tweaks; doesnt make a perfect smooth, but close enough without offering sim's or viewer's performance.
I'm still tweaking the internal details, but I will drop the Crane flock some time soon into me shoppie!
I'll keep u posted on that:)

Gianni und Legacy - harte Jungs im Rampenlicht

Es geht hier um das Gefühl, wenn Asphalt unter den Schuhen vibriert und Neonlicht auf Stoff trifft.

Jede Naht erzählt von Bewegung, von Energie, von dem Moment, bevor etwas passiert. Ein klarer Impuls, der sich durchsetzt. Laut, kompromisslos, echt.

Wer das trägt, spielt nicht mit Mode – er spielt mit Wirkung.
Zwischen Straße und Statement entsteht etwas, das bleibt:
Ein Bild, ein Rhythmus, ein Blick, der nicht fragt, sondern sagt: Ich bin hier.

Instructions: sit at the pier in the middle of the bay (or teleport to "fishing"), grab a fishing pole from the vendor there and start fishing by clicking the pole or saying "Cast" in local. There are 7 different packs to find for 7 different fabrics (see the ad above), each containing a bikini with matching sarong for Athena, LaraX, Legacy and Reborn, as well as swimming trunks for Legacy Male & Athletic, Jake/Ares and Gianni. These are original limited editions that can't be found at any store in the Hypergrid. Have fun!

Miss Munk will be spinning her wheels of steel at 1 pm grid time, at The Piazza!
Bring your headphones and get on down here and listen to nonstop beat matching and full spectrum sound!

Needful Things – News

1. Sim Renovation
Needful Things is now 8 years old—and it’s time to replace the old houses with updated versions. Unfortunately, this will take some time, as a few shops are also moving to different locations. At the landing point, there’s a notecard at the Region Guide Terminal showing the current locations of the respective shops.

As always, we recommend searching for the items you’re looking for on HyperCat first and then locating the objects on Needful Things itself using the area search.

https://ww2.hypercat.info/

Once the renovations are complete, we plan to implement our own search and teleport system—Sixtus Majus will take on this project later.

2. No Public Nudity

Unfortunately, it occasionally happens that visitors enter the region unclothed. It’s difficult to tell whether this is intentional or simply because their clothing hasn’t loaded. However, the following rule applies to all my public regions:

!! NO PUBLIC NUDITY !!

I want all visitors to have the freedom to shop at Needful Things without feeling disturbed by the sight of naked avatars. Adult content in the shops (e.g., the NPC Factory with its sex NPCs) is arranged in such a way that you have to deliberately seek out these rooms yourself or with the camera and won’t accidentally stumble upon unwanted content.

I expect the same respect from all visitors. I really hate to put up “No Entry” signs, but anyone who stands naked in the kids’ shop in the future (like the woman in the recent photo) will be removed without warning.
I deliberately offer a small selection of accessories for children’s avatars, so the sexualized depiction of a visitor—especially in this particular shop—is completely out of the question!!!

3. Dinkie Accessories

Until now, Needful Things was a Dinkie-free zone. That has changed since Sixtus and I fell head over heels for these cute avatars. There are already quite a few shops in HG that offer Dinkie stuff—we don’t want to compete with them. But you’ll now find a few little items at Needful Things as well.
Have fun!

Needful Things – Neuigkeiten

1. Sim Renovierung
Needful Things ist inzwischen 8 Jahre alt - und wird es Zeit, die alten Häuser durch überarbeitete Versionen zu ersetzen. Das nimmt leider etwas Zeit in Anspruch, da zusätzlich ein der paar Shops in andere Häuser umziehen. Am Landepunkt gibt es eine Notecard am Region-Guide-Terminal mit der aktuellen Lage der jeweiligen Shops.

Nach wie vor empfiehlt es sich vorab auf HyperCat nach den gesuchten Artikeln zu suchen und dann auf Needful Things selbst die Objekte mittels Umgebungssuche zu ermitteln.

https://ww2.hypercat.info/

Nach Abschluss der Umbaumaßnahmen ist ein eigenes Such- und Teleportsystem geplant - Sixtus Majus wird sich diesem Projekt später zuwenden.

2. Keine öffentliche Nacktheit

Leider kommt es hier und da mal vor, dass Besucher unbekleidet die Region betreten. Ob aus Absicht oder ob die Kleidung nur nicht geladen ist, lässt sich nur schwer unterscheiden. Grundsätzlich aber gilt auf allen meinen öffentlichen Regionen:

!! KEINE ÖFFENTLICHE NACKTHEIT !!

Ich möchte, dass alle Besucher die Freiheit haben, auf Needful Things shoppen zu gehen ohne sich am Anblick nackter Avatare gestört zu fühlen. Adult-Inhalte in den Shops (z.B. der NPC Factory mit ihren Sex-NPCs) befinden sich so angeordnet, dass man bewusst diese Räume selbst oder mit der Kamera aufsuchen muss und nicht versehentlich über unerwünschte Inhalte stößt.
Den gleichen Respekt wünsche ich mir von allen Besuchern. Ich stelle nur sehr ungern Verbotsschilder auf, aber wer in Zukunft nackt im Kindershop steht (so wie die Dame auf dem Bild vor kurzem), wird in Zukunft ohne Vorwarnung entfernt.
Ich biete bewusst ein wenig Zubehör für Kinder-Avatare an, darum geht die sexualisierte Darstellung eines Besuchers - besonders in diesem speziellen Shop - überhaupt nicht!!!

3. Dinkie Zubehör

Bisher war Needful Things Dinkie-Freie-Zone. Das hat sich geändert, seit Sixtus und ich einen Narren an den putzigen Avataren gefressen haben. Es gibt schon einige Shops im HG, die Dinkie Stuff anbieten- denen wollen wir auch keine Konkurrenz machen. Aber ein paar Kleinigkeiten findet ihr inzwischen auch auf Needful Things.
Viel Spaß!

Meet the Jonathan Avatar by R. Lion, a complete male avatar pack featuring clothing, accessories, skin options, facial styles, static hand poses, and an easy to use HUD.
Have some fun, stand out, and enjoy looking different from the usual avatars.
A matching AO is also available separately in the Animation Store.
Come get it now!
