Steam may sound like an unusual place to go hunting for avatar accessories. After all, it's Vbinnia Radek's legendary steampunk varsim.

At 343, 589, 21, there's Vbinnia's Emporium 1 with lots of boxes including Arcadia Asylum creations mostly from the Urban Blight, Steampunk and Space Pirate themes, but also stuff by Vbinnia herself and others. It isn't too interesting when it comes to avatar accessories, but it's worth mentioning nonetheless. For you Arcadia Asylum aficionados: The buildings have working doors, but you may find more tricked-out versions elsewhere.

What's more interesting and actually on-topic for this group is Vbinnia's Emporium 2 at 291, 391, 22. It offers lots of classic avatar accessories, bits and pieces as well as entire outfits. But there's one box, all the way to the right from the entrance, that may be useful for everyone with a BoM body that can use alpha masks: the Free Lower Body Alpha Mask Set. It contains nine textures from which you can make alpha masks that render your feet and lower legs invisible. An absolute must-have for boots.

Has something happened either in opensimulator software or in dreamgrid software that is preventing an inworld prim that is a web server from responding to an external web page? Several people have noticed this in the past few months, and it is interfering with our projects.

Is there a tool to equip NPCs with the ability to become text-based chat-bots, powered by AI?

About 15 years ago, this could be done in SL using accounts linked to a free on-line, early form of, AI. It would only respond to IMs. I used one as a public chat greeter bot at my club which could also chat with users via IM.

Now, we can download the open-source language models (I've head of GPT-J and GPT-3 for example). Perhaps AI powered chat-bots could learn OS speak by reading open chat. How would it know when to respond in open chat without spamming the conversation?

(I'm an idea person and have no technical knowledge in this area, so all this is speculation).

Firestorm already has a setting to listen for your name and, when it reads it, color the text and, if you like, play an alert sound. The NPC could listen for it's name and respond to that, and that only, in open chat.

What is an idiom? No, it's not a very stupid person. That would be an idiot. The praise "it's raining cats and dogs" is a common English idiom. Literally, that sentence would mean animals are falling from the clouds. What the idiom actually means is that it is raining very heavily. But, why should we care about what the idiom actually means? At the "Best in Taking Common Idioms Literally" Event, we want to see someone make animals, specifically canines and felines, fall from the clouds.

Taking Common Idioms Literally is not all that hard, really. "Break a leg?" Just have an alt on hand with a baseball bat. "Get bent out of shape?" Just have an alt on hand with a baseball bat. "Going batty?" You could literally transform yourself into bat (or what some call "a rat with wings"). Or you could artfully express both the idiomatic and literal meaning of "going batty" by having a mentally deranged alt on hand with a baseball bat. Works for me!

The prize? A cake! What will you do to get everyone to say "that takes the cake"? Have a gander at 150 Common & Difficult Idioms with Examples

Win the Best In Ghosting Event by befriending the most number of people there that you will never see or speak to again. This event will never happen...or will it?

Got any bad event ideas of your own? Let's hear them.

Updated Fields. We have been working on our fields from the Original Satyr farm system and the Quintonia extension. While we are not using every aspect of Quintonia and I'm not to keen on the idea of having to enable OSSL for everyone, not to mention it kicks out a bunch of errors whenever anyone else but me uses it. we decided on another script version to provide most of the function we like and left out the parts we didn't. This is role play after all it should be fun, not your second job.

We updated some textures to fit our tastes a little better. Darker richer looking soil. We may also add some plants that do not come in either the satyr pack or the Quintonia extension just for the fun of it.

So, most of the fields have been updated to incorporate the added plants. There are still a few to go but of course the band width it cost to make all those changes is what is slowing us down. The server doesn't like it so well and keeps locking up from time to time making us have to pause between actions, sometimes logging us out before it catches up and lets us back in again. Usually, it's about a 5 min pause. While we are making updates, we ask that visitors turn off any unnecessary scripted items from themselves and while I know there are a lot of things free to take a copy of, please try to avoid collecting goods while there are others on the sim for now. The server literally has to process every single object a second time just to add it to your inventory and it can bog down the server. If you see something you're dying to get a copy of, just ask. If it's not something that we are not allowed to share, chances are we'll give it to you or let you know where you can find it. All we are asking is that you don't bog the server down while we have guest or while we are trying to update the sim.
