When I meet an AV that looks like a dragon, I always ask them to voice verify. They have to literally melt my speakers for me to believe they are as they present themselves to be. I've never had that happen - which, truthfully, is disappointing. I mean, who would not want to meet an actual dragon?

Even if it doesn't melt your speakers, in-world voice can present a problem. Some people don't seem to understand that Open Sim is not a dating site. It is not a hook-up site. And it can be more than a costume party chat site. At it's best, OS is an immersive world for role-play. And most people don't have the voice and/or the acting ability for the role they are playing. At best, in-world voice is a distraction. At worse, it can make it impossible to deeply and actively engage.

In truth, our avatar is but a pixel puppet. For some reason there can be an extraordinary interest, by some, in who exactly is pulling the strings. I just treat people as they present themselves in-world. Anything else ruins the show many of us take a part in creating.

Visited Tropicana Bird's Nest, it's well done.
Then I met this guy. But he said he isn't Wolfman Jack. I don't belive him. I'm sure... he is!

In just a few short very busy days we have really developed this beautiful area, adding water below and attaching Aspen Homesites to the continent. Also, to the east I have added a sandbox for Bountiful Members only. I started putting in some street signs as the roads are very complex. There is a large freeway as you can see running West-East. The Waterways have either raised bridges, or drawbridges. There are tons of embankments and other details. yesterday I added some sims to the east that are named after Fallout 4 place names. Maybe we will do a RP on that area ... we shall see. Come visit, and come get a free parcel. PARCELS ARE FREE TO ALL IN THE CONTINENT NOW. Please follow the few rules: be nice, build only in theme of the region, no ban lines, no terraforming. Thats it!

Hi all, Maria Korolov is joining us tomorrow for the first Safari of the Fall season.
The announced venue has changed, though. Meeting at the OSgrid clubhouse, not on the Safari annex. That's because Avacon grid had something happen with its servers, and although it is back online and lovely, there is a bug in Textures. https://opensimworld.com/events/92284

The central spot for the sim environment of interstellART_exhibitions, introduces sometimes collaborative projects of independent artists on the basis of a specific topic and serves sometimes as a creative area for the sim-variations of Asmita Duranjaya.
In the moment the sim basis shows on its 9 regions the exhibition "MnemoScapes - Forget Me Not".
Asmita explains: "MnemoScapes try to visualize parts of my composite personality, with memories of the past mixed with imaginations and reflections. It is ME, what you see there on each of the 9 regions: DigiScape, LonerScape, CityScape, PalmScape, DesertScape, WinterScape, FractalScape, ForestScape and the CentralScape with my musical background related to Early Music of the Renaissance and the Middles Ages. In correspondence to my own 3D-installations I found a similar intention in the work of 8 other female artists, who work in 2D. They are presented with a link to infos about the person and 3 examples of their work on an easel-display in the CenterScape." There is a hud available with elaborated information on each of the 9 Scapes and with a tp to every region of interstellART_exhibitions plus interStellART. In a sky-globe there are more exhibitions of 7 active artists in OS-Grid: Caro Fayray, Shenn Tao, Victoria Logan, Cherry Manga, Azi Az, Sujeewa Kumari, lalie Sorbet. All those areas are accessible with the hud.

Close to both Tokyo and Mount Fuji the small town of Hakone holds something of a revelation. However, unless you are from Japan, you may well not have heard of it. The town plays host to a large open air museum where the works of many famous artists are held - outdoors. It balances art and nature in harmony. The artworks, combined with the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains give the visitor an unforgettable experience. Now recreated in OpenSim for all those missing travelling in Real Life.

Lunaria on Mobius Grid

My goal with all my stores and regions, but especially this region, is to show that even a store can be an artistic expression of the highest order. Every piece I sell and every place I display them is a work of art.

See Lunaria here: main.mobiusgrid.us:80:Lunaria
Use shared environment and advanced lighting model to see it as it was meant to be seen.

AETHER doesn't have line dancing. It has has a club with synchronized group dances on an airborne shade-shifting rotating cube. How wild is that? Aether also offers the use of adult furniture and the viewing of artistic B&W photos, all in modern, minimalist structures. The residents of Aether? They all vanished. All they left behind were shadows. Aether: a world of black, white, shadows and wild sky.

Ich möchte mich auf diesem Weg bei allen bedanken, die so zahlreich aus nah und fern zum Abschied von Cayoun Daydreamer erschienen sind.
Das hat mich sehr gerührt.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came in such large numbers from near and far to say goodbye to Cayoun Daydreamer.
That touched me very much.
