what if.....
we spent our time focusing on our similarities
instead of our differences?

I have seen many discussions here become very toxic recently because people are focused on how we are all different. I love how we all are different, but we also have some common similarities; the most obvious is that we are all people behind the pixels.

Sometimes in life and Opensim, it is much easier to tear a person down than to build them up. Let's make the extra effort and support eachother!

This is our Opensim.....lets take pride in it!

Okay, not sure which version of chatGPT is this one, but it worked PRETTY GOOD. The script to play animations on attach/detach is pretty simple, but in this one the right and left hand had to play different animations on a rigged object, some at the same time (the bottle filling the glass) and some NOT at the same time (drinking from the glass vs the bottle), and it got it right at the first try. :O

The FORMAL GROUP ACCESS ONLY Ballroom requires attendees to join the group and wear formal attire. Individuals who fail to comply with these rules are not my responsibility. I ask that you refrain from reviewing me based on your lack of understanding regarding the event's access and dress code requirements.

May 2025 bring you endless joy, success, and cherished moments with loved ones.
A new year is like a blank canvas. Paint it with bold colors, bright ideas and your beautiful imagination.
Happy New Year!
Cheers from C&C

It's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the New Year, to stop and reflect on the year that has passed. Remember our triumphs and our missteps - our promises made, and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures - or closed ourselves down, for fear of getting hurt. Because that's what New Year's is all about: getting another chance. A chance to forgive, do better, do more, give more, love more. And stop worrying about 'what if' and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at midnight - and it will drop - let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just tonight but all year long

Happy New Year to you All.

@JustCurious wants a link to the discord group for this group. I did make a related group "What I Found on OS." It's been inactive for about 8 months now.

Anybody can check it out and revive it if you like

If anyone is looking to collaborate with people with skillz, the "What Are You Looking For" group is the place to ask.

So, there may or may not be people who want to work together like the Gilded Accord do. (Form a Builders Guild perhaps?).

The fine folks in the Sharing is Caring family have this all sorted out I think. They are some of the original importers and likely had a way to coordinate their efforts. @ChilliBean. Felix Mafia does a great amount of work with getting bodies and heads to work in OS. Last I checked, he's also part of the Sharing is Caring family.

There are quite a few New Years Parties across the Hypergrid tonight. I will be DJing for five hours, bringing in the New Year for each time zone across the continental United states: Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific.
Beginning at 8pm until 1am grid time.

I will be spinning a mix of genres, from rock to pop to dance and some in between.

The recent "knicker twist" (a *very* ugly and overly dismissive way to blow off what I read as being well-thought out and reasonable points raised by Marianna) does bring up a couple of questions:

Are there amateur builders left in Opensim?
It would be useful to define "amateur" -what do we mean by that term? Myself, I mean "self-taught", someone who has not been to art school or taken formal (not counting Builder's Brewery etc) courses on building. Other people may have different definitions -let's hear them.

It would also be useful to define "builder". When I say 'builder' I mean someone who makes creations with prims or mesh (Blender). (I'm excluding scripting, that's programming.) I'm aware that others define it in such a way as to refer to making modifications on pre-fab/pre-made mesh. Basically a "modder". In my mind it's a valid thing but it's different than building.

But language shifts and definitions change, "hacker" used to mean "someone who comes up with clever approaches to computer problems or design" -but for roughly 30 years it's been used to refer to people who break into computer systems and/or write viruses. As I say -definitions change.

So how do we define "builder" now? What constitutes "building"?

I can only think of a small handful of builders in the sense of making something from nothing, there's a larger pool of people who modify pre-made content -and unless I'm mistaken Marianna and Luna Luneria do a mix of both. Again, one isn't better than the other and both are forms of creative expression. But they are different.

The point of all this is to assess *need.* Do we need an organization? By "we" I am referring to "amateurs", I'm not referring to AuroraAsteria's group.

Moreover with the extremely low user numbers of Opensim would there be a point to creating an organization (beyond a collection of friends -I mean, if you already know each other knock yourselves out)?

I suspect -and have for years, that any such group would wither on the vine from lack of interest. Otherwise I'd be trying to start something myself.

I reserve the right to delete obnoxious comments and lock the comments entirely if it looks like they're going to simply be a shit-show. Show me that you *can* adult, OSW. Don't post insults (I'll delete them), paranoid rants (I'll delete them), off-topic diatribes about how somebody done somebody wrong songs (again -will delete). If there's a question about what the topic is intended to be -ask.

Make this a pain in my ass and I'll delete everything and lock the comments.
