* After cleaning the roads, and the main castles and inns entries, the group went back to the farm and stocked as much as possible to fill up the storages for the winter (Max, Mina, Steve, Justin, Anniera). While at the farm, Mina who had lost her memory, remembered who she was, and Max the future King reminded her their past relationship and propose to her! (She agreed !)
* Asad tricked Mina to follow him, abducting her. Max, Steve and Justin went to her rescue, and found her and Asad stuck high on the red mountains. While saving Mina, Asad escaped.
* Steve went to see Justin to discuss the creation of a Knighthood based on Honor, Respect and chivalry : The Realm's Knights!
* An investigation about dragons behavior lead to the conclusion:
--Dragons are passive when not attacked so far (when not hungry), so dont attack them. Lets find their food source.
* Rowk refused to take the Lordship of StormsEnd, so it is available to anyone to take over.

The Rainbow Bridge in Luxor. Working with glass using PBR, which needs texture, reflectivity, and transparency to look real. Before PBR we were missing the reflectivity part, which could only be rendered by duplicating the prims above and flipping them upside down.

As the snow fell softly around us at the Funsize Dinkies World Resort, the excitement in the air was palpable. We are having a great time by the Lake, having a friendly fishing competition, with everyone eager to see who would catch the biggest fish first.

Armed with fishing rods and bait, we settled in by the frozen lake, each determined to outdo the other. The tranquil setting was interrupted only by the occasional sound of a fish splashing in the icy water.

Despite the chilly weather, we were kept warm by our shared enthusiasm and the snacks we had brought along. Hot cocoa, marshmallows, and freshly baked cookies fueled our competitive spirits as we waited for the fish to bite.

An hour passed, with each of us trying different techniques and lures to attract the elusive fish. Laughter and friendly banter filled the air as we recounted past fishing adventures and shared tips with one another.

All Dinkies on Opensim are welcome to hangout and join in the Funsize Winter Fun and also today is Day 3 of the Advent Calendar (its not to be missed by any Dinkie)
All Dinkies are Welcome to have fun and explore.

Enjoy!!

I am excited to roll out premium housing in our new Roads sims. These parcels are 10,000 meters or up and have waterfront views of Little Willow Bay. The parcels are on named roads, in a neighborhood, and connected to thousands of kilometers of connected roadways, including Cloudburst Roads, Rouge Vineyards, and the Neverworld National Forest. These homesites are available to Neverworlders ONLY, so you know your neighbors all live here full-time.
Parcels are free.
Each parcel comes with house rezzers of upgraded design. You are welcome to decorate your home and parcel as you wish in keeping with the coastal theme. Generous prim limits and an amazing opportunity to join our exclusive Roads community. You must join the Never Riders Group to obtain a parcel. It is a closed group... if you are not a member just ask any admin and we will send you an invite.

Tout droit sorti des Ateliers Atlas, qui se déroulent tous les lundis, cela ressemble à un distributeur de confiseries. Mais celui-livre ses chocolats aux avatars depuis une page web où ils passent commande. Est-ce le début d'une free marketplace, comme cela a existé brièvement sur Second Life, mais cette fois sur l'hypergrid ? Les obstacles sont nombreux, mais nous ne désespérons pas.

This vending machine delivers objects from the web, or tries to. Delivering over the hypergrid is a tough task, may require augmenting the codebase and may not be possible in all cases, like when the grid has no knowledge of the recipient.

Christmas-Advent-Market
Picture this: a wonderland nestled in the heart of a quaint town square, with snowy paths and twinkling fairy lights that dance playfully in the brisk winter air. The aroma of roasting chestnuts fills the air, the chestnuts are indeed hot, nestled in little paper cones that crackle as they’re handed to you, releasing their nutty, toasty perfume. You pop one into your mouth and it’s a symphony of flavor and warmth, a delightful contrast to the cold that nips at your nose, and sweet scent of caramelizing
sugar coating the freshly made crepes sizzling and each breath you take is a
delightful cocktail of festive scents that tickle your nose and warm your soul, not
forgetting roasts marshmallows over an open fire, the sticky sweetness of the melting marshmallows wafts through the air, a siren’s call to those with a sweet tooth. as you sit to enjoy your cheeks turn rosy from the flames as you attempt to craft the perfect s’more.

Hot drinks and steaming mugs of mulled wine and spiced cider are passed around, warmth seeping through your mittens and into your very bones. You can’t help but sip at the fragrant concoction, the spices of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg pirouetting on your tongue, leaving a comforting of warmth and for the less adventurous, there’s hot chocolate so rich and creamy it’s like a warm hug from the inside out, topped with a mountain of whipped cream and a dusting of glittering sugar.

The stallholders are a merry bunch, their eyes twinkling with the same enthusiasm as the lights strung up above, you notice the details that make this place so special. Strands of garland draped over every surface, the rustle of pine needles from
fresh-cut wreaths, the occasional snowflake that flutters down from the sky,

The Carpe Noctem Christmas Market isn’t just a place to shop; it’s an experience that fills your heart with the magic of the season. It’s a place to create memories with friends and loved ones, to revel in the joy of giving and receiving, and to simply be present in the moment.
