About Myself

Dorenas World dweller, Hypergrid traveller, synth geek.
Spreading the word of Ruth2 and Roth2.

Rezday of my first avatar is April 30th. I've recreated the avatar on another grid, the new one became my main, but I still count the same rezday.

I'm in Germany which means I'm 9 hours ahead of grid time. 3 PM PST/SLT/grid time is midnight here.

Speaks English.
Spricht deutsch.

If you should ever encounter a Juno Rowland, that's my little in-world sister.

I'm not only in the Metaverse, but also in the Fediverse.

A recent Cool VL Viewer in a very few rare cases, e.g. to make new outfit subfolders.

Activity

Crazy day today. Two full fashion shows in five hours.

Greetings from Juno, she has been one of the models at the first fashion show at Artdestiny. Her first time as a model, and that was in front of more than 40 spectators. Six times out on the catwalk, four scheduled, another two spontaneously taken over from a model who had fallen ill as she told me.

Another one from Virunga:

Zulu tour bus, straight from the Asylum. And yet, Makena preferred to walk.

Just took a bus from one of the airports and drove it to the main village where there are two bus stops waiting for a bus.

No animals were harmed in this endeavour. I guess.

DON'T PANIC

...if you know where your towel is.

Happy Towel Day from the Rowlands to all the hoopy froods in the Metaverse!

Happy International Synthesizer Day (or what's left of it)!

Seasonal greetings from my sister and me!

Found this button in Singularity.

Now I'm wondering if it'll have a positive effect on my avatar.

If you're after Selea Core stuff, and you think your collection is complete: It most likely isn't.

I've just been to Free Life Nostalgia Neighborhood (https://opensimworld.com/hop/83497), and I've checked out Core's Department Store, a Selea Core tribute shop. You can find it at 359/812/29, right next to the main street that leads from the landing into the town.

My collection had already been large, but even I have picked up 54 boxes that I hadn't had yet.
In case you're wondering, OSgrid has been down for 8 hours now. There's no information currently about what's going on or when it'll be back up, at least not to my knowledge.

The other day, at Zuzions...

Yours truly pretending it's ten years ago, and I'm a brand-new avatar that needs to be decked out.

Yes, I have a Roth cosplay outfit. Down to being barefoot.

Since I'm wearing a BoM-enabled Roth2 v2 body, I could also have put on the standard Ruth/Roth clothes, but I'm not too fond of trousers stuck up my buttcrack.

And they say you can't hear pictures.

And in latest news, Ruth2 v4 is out including a build for older OpenSim versions.

Get it at RuthAndRoth!
hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/RuthAndRoth/142/104/22

Also, expect it to hit Arkham soon.

Isn't that what we want to be?

So if there are any men's fashion tailors left out there, I have a request. Or a challenge. Or call it whatever you want.

And that's clothes rigged and fitted for Roth2 v2.
In case you haven't noticed yet because this has barely been advertised: Roth2v2 has been available for almost two months now.

The only place to get it is currently RuthAndRoth which doesn't have an OpenSimWorld beacon:
hg.osgrid.org:80/RuthAndRoth/142/104/22

Those of you who run freebie shopping sims and already have Roth 2.0 RC#1 (now renamed Roth2v1) may want to place Roth2v2 next to it so that people can find it.

Those of you who love low-poly male bodies can get it from RuthAndRoth until it appears elsewhere. Just beware: Since the content creators seem to be largely unaware of Roth2v2, there are absolutely no clothes rigged for it. So you'll have to experiment for now although some Adonis-rigged clothes work pretty well, just don't count on it.

And those of you who make male fashion may look into rigging it for Roth2v2.

Last but not least: Looks like Ruth2v4 is finally under way, too.

My Reviews

ShoppingCity

Sad to say, but I have to downrate this sim and write a new review. A main reason to visit the ShoppingCity was that there were stores that offered rare or even exclusive legal mesh clothes, partly based on Clutterfly meshes, mostly based on Damien Fate meshes. The last ones of these stores have recently been removed and with it a whole lot of content that was no longer available anywhere el...

Sunvibes

Sunshine and Asha's sims have a very special feeling to themselves. On the one hand, you just want to go explore them. On the other hand, they have a sort of relaxing effect, especially if you have the music stream running which you really should. They can even be informative or educative in their own special ways. On top of that, the workshop at Sunvibes offers a lot of useful goodies.

Tropicana Kokomo

Unfortunately, Kokomo doesn't communicate here on OSW why a group membership is required. It's not to have an exclusive VIP elite club. It's only to ensure that rules are followed. And Kokomo has rules. And it enforces them. Same reason why the Rendez-vous sims in AMV won't let you in unless you sign an agreement first. The reason why you can't just add yourself to the group, why you have to...

Little Haven 1

"Regional" fits this place quite well. It's a different kind of landscape sim and, in parts, a different kind of beach sim. It isn't tropical for a change; of course not, it mimicks New England and not some Caribbean surf spot or some sandy islet in the Pacific. If you love to go wandering on varsims, put on some comfy and sturdy shoes, for this is a sim for you. You'll see believable beaches that...

NOVALE

This is easily one of the most impressive builds on the Hypergrid, a gorgeous and detailed landscape to spend hours exploring. And as if that wasn't enough, Novale changes with the seasons, i.e. four times a year, and each season is upgraded from year to year. Regardless of season, there's always something to do other than wander around. For example, you could rent a kayak and explore the water...

Illusions

Yes, you can actually get lost here, so big is this sim. And it has a lot to offer. What Chris wrote is not an understatement as Juno found out during her recent visit, and she hasn't even seen half of Illusions. There are beaches aplenty, even beaches that can be used as such; some actually have swim rezzers. The spa shouldn't leave much to be desired; it even offers things you wouldn't expect...

Last time I was on a sim with this name, it was announced as an all-round freebie sim, and I found myself in a huge building with nothing but sci-fi props. Now it's advertised as a freebie sim with avatar accessories. What I saw instead was a landscape with mostly water and not a single building in sight. I landed on a small grassy island which covered the standard landing point 127,127,x. The ...

Aquadark

The legend from 2010 is back. They say that when Aquadark shut down in 2019, Metropolis lost its best mall by far. But now, Aquadark has been revived on Lacchi Macchi's own grid. If you expect the newest, hottest SL stuff, you'll be disappointed. If you expect the SL "classics" from 2015 to 2019, you'll be disappointed, too. This is not your typical "freebie mall" churning out stolen content. N...

Nothing

Juno just went here. She said there's nothing to see here. I asked her if there's something to complain about. She was about to say, "Nothing," but then she noticed the mistake she was about to make.

Savvy

Mesh clothes scratch-made in and for OpenSim exist. Even for Ruth 2.0. Taarna made them, you can find them here. Granted, not everything can be worn by Ruth2 v4, but Ruth2 v4 came after these clothes, so you can't blame Taarna. There's also not exactly little menswear, made by Taarna as well. And don't forget the shoes and boots; Taarna is one of three creators of medium-heeled Ruth2 shoes I kn...
