The new Stark! magazine with Miranda Djannovic from Virtual Dream Grid and Niki Stark is out now! Be careful! It is HOT!

Get your copy of the magazine and/or vendor from the new Stark landing point.

PREVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT´S OPEN
I've been asked quite a few times lately how far along I am with the second Halloween sim. I said, pretty far along... but not finished, I had other things to do! Some wanted a preview, but I thought... oh dear, we already have enough Halloween in real life. But everything too sugary is also boring. Then I thought about it again and came to the conclusion... okay, let's give it a try... let's see how it's received. Furthermore, within the sim there is a beautiful plot designed in the style of Harry Potter.And so...curtain up for the spooky show at the end of February.Enjoy bleeding foot fountains, disgusting punks, loads of Satans, autumn decorations, flying children, a nicely styled diagon alley that leads into Knockturn Alley, etc., etc.

Adopt responsibly. Or don’t. It’s the apocalypse anyway.

I am starting work on re-creating Acadia in the 1600's and 1700's. I saw this photo, taken in Grande Anse New Brunswick, where my Grandparents and ancestors were from. It is overlooking the Chaleur Bay and the town of Caraquet along the coast in the distance.

These guys have no guts, they sew seeds of discord, and they are all around GRUMPkins! And they make a really cute addition to your Halloween Décor. You will find them at the arrival point for the mall, but be sure to shop around once you get here and you may just find what you're wishing for. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

For those coming to the gala next Wednesday at the Art Deco ballroom at Lunaria Emporium (see previous post), this photo composite shows the difference between using a PBR viewer (at the top) vs using an older viewer (at the bottom). Additionally, your settings in the PBR viewer do not have to be high to see it this way, and unless a very old computer is being used (10+ years), there should be no appreciable difference in FPS between the viewers. Of course, we're just glad you're coming, no matter what viewer you're using :-) If you are coming, I do advise visiting prior to cache your viewer when no one is around.

🎉 Hey everyone! Today we have some great new stuff to get you going on the dance floor!

So TDS will be changing the way that you grab items at the store! I have decided to make all items full perms, only because I see my items at other stores with no credit to myself at all. So if I make everything full perm then everyone can pass out the items to their friends. I will also be boxing items based on dates that are in my inventory. I have thousands of items not out because I am just myself at TDS. So the store will still be open whilst I work in the sky to get items boxed for you to grab once it is ready. I was going to put items in boxes based on what the item is, however, I would be trawling through my invy at a snail's pace. So if you have items already then you can just unpack and delete. Watch this space and thank you for your support as always ♥

Public transport available in different ways:
1- Tram that goes around Reykjavík only;
2- Bus that goes in all parts of the sim;
3- Vehicles rezzer kiosks available at many parts of the region.
Enjoy :)

I decided to migrate my regions from OSGrid to my own private grid so I do not depend of anyone, took me some hours to set up the configuration with the HyperGrid but I did finally. I really appreciate to the OSGrid team all the effort on all these past years, when I connected my project on their grid back in 2019 allowed me to show my project which I started back in 2011, but after a long time thinking about it and learning more about how it works the Hypergrid and to setup it, I was able finally to do it and perfom the test from the outside (with a account I created on other grid), I'll connect some of my the others regions in several hours (the speedway), and I'll balance better the load of all the regions in several servers over the time since it also runs now the ROBUST. Still need to work on the backups tasks, uptimes checkers. The construction of the city, is still ongoing, and I do it when I have free time, motivation and I'm inspired (since I want to do the buildings and all in a good way, I mean, not all the same, all differents with unique things even some share the same initial design), and also the city is not only on the surfarce, I build also under what can be seen on the map. Initially I wanted to do this way, but since I didn't know nothing about Hypergrid and how to setup back in 2019, never tried, until these last days when I started to see how to configure it.
