Editorial from a popular magazine in another world. Everything has been duplicated here in open sim - with some variations. I am working in conjunction with Chant Lyric. Chant is rarely online and has contributed a great deal of her builds over the years to the OMG Twiztid Timez region. I am honored to have her on board. This is why you will often see photography or builds that have been designed by Chant and not OMG.

Luxury Marakin Resort is a must visit while at OMG. Table for 2 is a perfect location at the Marakin Resort for Valentines day. A beautiful setting located outside the resort in a private area with white flowing curtains, a harp player will entertain you while you enjoy dining overlooking the beautiful sim.

The bride arrives at the Wedding Reception area. Luxury awaits inside the reception area. The foyer is large with fireplace and lounges and champagne readily available. There is a dining room for formal dining that overlooks the stunning gardens - floor to ceiling glass adorn this venue - bringing the outdoors indoors.
A scrumptious smorgasbord for the most fastidious diner awaits. A dancing area opens out to another side of the landscaped gardens that include tropical rainforests, arbors, fountains and much more.
The backdrop to all of this is the most stunning water views as far as the eye can see - with a perfect sunset to make this day a day to remember.

We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of Gracie and Dexter's Community Dump! Nestled in a whimsical dung beetle paradise, this vibrant space celebrates creativity, resilience, and community. Thanks to the brilliant work of Ferd Frederix, the dump has been transformed into a magical haven where colorful treasures abound, and Gracie and Dexter roll their sparkling balls of inspiration. Come join us in this unique and joyful sanctuary, where everyone is welcome to explore, connect, and find crap.

**** OPENSIM Grandpiano V3 - Updated Release! ****

What's New:
• Fixed last UUID sound issue (to improve performance in OpenSim).
• Piano dialog now visible to everyone (not just the owner).
• New "ALL" notecard to play all 40 tracks in sequence (*).
• Improved sound quality with louder and stereo output.


(*) It takes on average 02 minutes to load them all and there is a 10 seconds pause between a music to another.

Special thanks for Clifford Hangar, owner of ALTERNATE METAVERSE GRID (AMV) who kindly helped me with this script and I could share to Opensim citizens,

Enjoy :)

All I ever did when I was here was build, create magic huds, create oars, and try to help people. I was harassed a lot by a band of trolls, constantly picked on and lied on by others who will say and post and do anything. Even fake made up stuff. Many of you have asked me to come back and keep creating. I will think about it. I did have some more oars I designed and it would be a shame to see them languish on an old hard drive and not get shared. I'm not sure if they survived the last ssd failure on my system. But to date they have not been seen by anyone but me. Perhaps I will come back in a few weeks. I am thinking about it - in the very least to upload the other fantasy oars I have made if they survived.

Liebe Freunde,
bald ist es wieder soweit – die fünfte Jahreszeit steht vor der Tür, und wir können es kaum erwarten, sie gemeinsam mit euch zu feiern! Dieses Jahr erwartet euch ein kunterbuntes Programm voller Spaß, Musik und guter Laune.
Los geht’s am Donnerstag, den 27. Februar, mit unserer großartigen Kostümparty. Kommt in euren kreativsten, verrücktesten oder elegantesten Outfits und startet mit uns in die Karnevalstage. Für die perfekte musikalische Stimmung sorgt unser DJ Marlon, der euch mit den besten Klängen den ganzen Abend über begleitet. Tanzen, lachen und feiern ist angesagt – das dürft ihr nicht verpassen!
Weiter geht es am Montag, den 3. März, mit dem Höhepunkt der Karnevalssaison: dem großen Pangea Rosenmontagsumzug in Köln. Freut euch auf farbenfrohe Wagen, beeindruckende Kostüme und die einzigartige Karnevalsatmosphäre, die Köln so besonders macht. „Kamelle!“ und jede Menge Spaß erwarten euch in den Straßen der Domstadt – seid dabei und feiert mit uns diesen unvergesslichen Tag!
Den Abschluss bildet am Dienstag, den 4. März, die traditionelle Nubbelverbrennung. Gemeinsam verabschieden wir uns von den Karnevalstagen und lassen mit dem Nubbel symbolisch all unsere „Sünden“ zurück. Lasst uns diesen Moment nutzen, um die festliche Zeit mit einem Lächeln ausklingen zu lassen.
Markiert euch die Termine im Kalender und bringt Freunde, Familie und gute Laune mit. Wir freuen uns auf euch und eine unvergessliche Karnevalszeit!
Alaaf und Helau!

To keep the party alive, our fantastic DJ Marlon will be spinning the best tunes all evening, ensuring a night full of dancing, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Don’t miss it!
The highlight of the season awaits us on Monday, March 3rd, with the grand Pangea Rose Monday Parade in Cologne.

If you have been keeping up with the weather in the US, you know that about half of the US is dealing with blizzards, sub freezing temperatures severe enough to challenge infrastructures, and peripheral states are dealing with flooding and electrical infrastructure challenges. Two of our presenters had to bow out due to last minute inclement weather, and my own electricity is VERY sketchy. We have experienced power surges in my city for over 24 hrs, with uncertain relief. Sadly, I live in a state that has puffed out their chest about being off the federal grid, and in the last 10 years, we have paid dearly for that.

We are committed to this. We will reschedule sometime after the Hypergrid World's Fair, where WolfTEC will be have a presence! We hope to see you all there!

Join us at the Piazza at 3 pm grid time, for a couple of hours of fun and music while Rockin' Robert spins the tunes for us via his radio station Wax Radio.
The Piazza, where good friends and great music always come together.

Are you using a 4K monitor ? Are you looking to upgrade ?

I publish here some benchmark in the hope it might help those who are looking to up part their performances using Firestorm. I was myself looking to find those information before i upgraded.

This will allow you to see what performance you could get with a similar hardware. I chose Intel, but AMD is also a very good choice, so for comparison it would need to be an AMD with similar performance to get similar result, the same for the video card.

Please note, these benchmark are with Firestorm with everything enabled Ultra Detail and Distance view set to 864. With a 4k Monitor (3840x2160)

If this works well - I plan to add more rentals to Princess, Princess Islands, and Autumn regions.
