Candy Haven from AMV thank you!! I tested the jewelry with my test avatar, and you are right, there IS an issue with that group gift script. I will remove the script and make the jewelry for sale for 0, giving contents instead. That way you will have a folder in inventory with the jewelry. I apologize to those who tried to obtain that jewelry that did not give. Anytime there is an issue please let me know. I am removing the scripts as we speak :)

Each year, when my favorite troll's birthday comes around, I try to honor his preference for keeping things low-key and reflecting privately. But I can’t help but celebrate him in my heart, because he means so much. He brings so much life, laughter, and spirit to this community. Thank you for being you—we love you dearly. Happy Birthday @FerdFrederix!🧌🧚🏽‍♀️🪄

In realms of code where pixels gleam,
He walks the line of dream and meme.
A playful troll, a friend so true,
Who gives his all in what he’ll do.

Among the builds, the scripts, the lore,
He stands to open every door.
With laughter quick and kindness vast,
He helps the lost find home at last.

Though avatars may jest and jest,
He holds the weight of every quest.
In virtual lands, where worlds collide,
He lifts us all with care and pride.

Behind the mask, a heart so rare,
To aid, to love, beyond compare.
We cherish you, oh digital soul,
The metaverse’s greatest troll.

We're testing PBR textures, and the results are stunning! This ring, originally created in Second Life, showcases Opensim's full PBR support, bringing every detail to life. Interestingly, when I upload my jewelry to Second Life, the scale appears much larger, but in Opensim, it matches the exact size I designed. This ring was one of my first creations and earned me an Avi Choice nomination for Best New Jewelry Store in SL! I had to nano that ring though because of the huge scale and would not reduce down to the SL Avatar. In opensim it has worked beautifully thanks to @FerdFrederix~ PBR is in its earliest stages but I am loving the results so far. This will be in the store soon. 💍💗 This image is inworld with Sunrise lighting. Lighting affects the color of the metal if the sky is red orange sunset the gold will be red, Fred pointed this out to me yesterday, so a bright mid day you will see the brightest results. I have fun playing with the sky to see what the metal will look like each sky it looks different. Fred's ring compared to mine though that he textured is beyond beautiful, he made the diamond glossy, and translucent and it is just beautiful, so gemstones can be transparent with a tint of color, so many options and we are having fun! All this is coming soon...

Wednesday at Midnight was such a fun project we have decided to keep it up! That way @ferdfrederix and I can continue to create cool props for this region we had so much fun! Thank you Ferd!

Wednesday at Midnight lives!

Lydia Deetz, our enigmatic NPC, vanished in a burst of dark energy, her form dissolving as if swallowed by the shadows she had always been so drawn to. But the darkness was not her end—it was a gateway. Moments later, she reappeared in a different realm, her eyes filled with the knowledge of the in-between, her spirit rekindled. She lived again, more attuned to the strange and supernatural, with a deeper understanding of the secrets that only death and rebirth could reveal. Is it possible for an NPC to teleport? Yes but the true question is how did Lydia make her way to the door that visits God and gives her life? Ferd went to that door last night to teleport down to main sim and it was "stuck" so he investigated to see that our dear Lydia was there in the coffin alive again and stuck there in the coffin. When he reset her the teleport worked again. We have a true paranormal event that happened here Mwaaahaaha because I only placed this NPC in Beetlegeuse house and the Coffee shop. We are actually being haunted by Lydia how cool is that? 👁️👁️

A question I often get asked is, "Why are some OARS exclusive for Dreamgridders only, I thought this was a free and opensource platform with sharing?" Yes it is however, the reason some OARs are exclusive to DreamGrid users is that they contain purchased items with licenses that must be respected. Or the Creators of these OARS only offered them to Dreamgridders it is their license to share with us exclusively. By limiting the distribution of these OARs to the DreamGrid platform, we ensure that we are honoring those licensing agreements.

bzzzzzzzzt!

In the garden of humanity, where colors bloom so bright,
We find a world of wonders, bathed in love and light.
Each petal tells a story, each leaf a tender song,
A tapestry of beauty where every soul belongs.

No shadows of division, no whispers of disdain,
For in this sacred garden, no hearts are left in pain.
We cherish every blossom, each unique and rare,
In this dance of unity, where love is in the air.

From the mountains to the valleys, across the rolling sea,
We celebrate our differences, in joyful harmony.
Hand in hand we journey, in a bond so pure and true,
For in our shared humanity, there's room for me and you.

No place for hateful slander, no room for racist spite,
We lift each other higher, in the warmth of shared light.
We break the chains of prejudice, we shatter walls of fear,
In this circle of compassion, all voices we will hear.

With hearts unconditionally open, and spirits intertwined,
We forge a path of kindness, where no one is maligned.
For in the end, we're family, beneath the stars above,
In a world that thrives on unity, and the power of pure love.

Sometimes, making a statement doesn't require over-the-top constructions. More gold and grandiosity don't necessarily equate to greater impact. In fact, larger, huge builds often miss the mark when it comes to creating a truly inviting atmosphere. Quaint spaces, thoughtfully designed with lush gardens and personal touches, can be far more welcoming and impactful.

A well-curated garden, with its vibrant blooms and serene pathways, speaks volumes. The delicate balance of nature and human touch creates an environment that feels alive and nurturing. It's not the size or extravagance of a place that leaves a lasting impression, but the care and thought put into its design.

Such spaces offer a sense of intimacy and warmth, inviting visitors to linger and connect with their surroundings. The charm of a cozy, beautifully tended garden can evoke feelings of peace and contentment, making people feel at home. In contrast, grandiose builds, though impressive at first glance, can often feel cold and impersonal.

Moreover, smaller, more personal spaces can reflect the unique personality and values of their creators. They allow for creative expression in ways that grand builds might not, making them memorable for their originality and heart. In essence, a quaint space with lush gardens is not just a place to see, but a place to feel—a testament to the idea that sometimes, less truly is more.

Today is a great day for a little Odyssey. "When light bounces off of something and is reflected back into a human’s eyes, we perceive color. For millennia, color has been one of the elements of art that artists use to render the world as they see it." When you view the colors the Mind Odyssey artists display, such as Nyx Breen, you will see a dance of color and movement. Make sure you take the time to spend here and appreciate the artists of OpenSim.

One night, I dreamt I stood at the river's edge in a canyon gorge. Terraced along the cliffs were abundant cherry trees, their branches cascading down towards the water. This place is the embodiment of that dream.
