Test results are in: Firestorm 7.2.4 does take quite a dip in graphics performance in comparison to 7.2.3.

You may want to skip it and wait for 7.2.5 or dare to try the 7.2.5 nightlies if you want or need some of Firestorm 7.2.4's improvements.

Woman in the High Castle (a different kind of dystopia)

and where size matters: the KM Bismarck in all its grandeur (1:1 scale), not the original model (1:3 scale)...

it's already starting to sail (a full-fledged fork of the script I made from the "Chris Craft" script)... next, making the weaponry functional :)

Klarstellung:
da sich hier eine Person hier ständig darüber wundert, das ich neulich einen Thread bezüglich einer Facebookgruppe aus der ich gelöscht wurde, hier wieder gelöscht habe, hatte lediglich den Grund, dass ich keine Lust hatte auf einen Shitstorm hier, den ja hier gegen mich so gewisse dumme Gestalten gegen mich in Gang setzen. Ich dachte zuerst nicht darüber nach, aber als mir das schnell klar wurde, entfernte ich ihn wieder.
Diesen jetzt aber unmittelbar mit meinem Beitrag bezüglich Anachrons Krankenhausaufenthalt in Verbindung zu bringen, verrät doch so einiges über die Intelligenz dieser Person.
Ein anderer Schwachsinniger, den ich hier blockierte, beschimpfte mich sogar mit einem anderen Account hier per IM. Da ich seinen IQ aber eher unterdurchschnittlich einschätze, fand ich das eher belustigend. Alle anderen in meinen Augen erbärmlichen Hatern hier, die ihre kruden und verachtenswerten Statements hier ablassen: https://opensimworld.com/post/132126#cmt93658. , sei gesagt, ich verachte euch zutiefst, damit stehe ich nicht alleine, aber nicht jeder möchte dort kommentieren, was ich durchaus verstehe. Sie regen sich über diesen Post auf: https://opensimworld.com/post/132084#cmt93659
lasst euch an dieser Stelle gesagt sagen, das Anachron sich sehr über die positiven Bekundungen dort gefreut hat und ihn das auch etwas aufbaute. Schlimm das ihn das hier einige Mitglieder nicht zu gönnen scheinen. Einfach nur erbärmlich! Nur als Hinweis, sollten diese Hasstiraden hier im Beitrag weitergehen, werde ich sie umgehend entfernen!!

Clarification:
Since someone here keeps wondering why I recently deleted a thread about a Facebook group I was removed from, the only reason was that I didn't want a shitstorm here, which certain idiots seem to be starting against me. I didn't think much of it at first, but when it quickly became clear, I removed it.

To now directly link it to my post about Anachron's hospitalization says a lot about this person's intelligence.

Another moron I blocked even insulted me via private message from another account. Since I consider his IQ rather below average, I found it amusing. All the other, in my opinion, pathetic haters here who spout their crude and contemptible statements: https://opensimworld.com/post/132126#cmt93658. Let me say this: I despise you all deeply, and I'm not alone in that, but not everyone wants to comment there, which I completely understand. They're getting upset about this post: https://opensimworld.com/post/132084#cmt93659
Let me tell you that Anachron was very pleased with the positive comments there, and it cheered him up a bit. It's awful that some members here seem to begrudge him that. Simply pathetic!! Just a heads-up: if these hateful rants continue in this thread, I will remove them immediately!!

A lively little creation just for you to celebrate the 250th Birthday of America, or really just for any celebration that would have fireworks. This cute little table lamp is made to look like fireworks, and it really has light, and it is scripted with bling to give it that sparkly fireworks effect. You can find it at "Lavia's Place" in the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
