All thanks to Maiyya for tonight’s stop on the 30 sim tour. I found Omega Point after going through some of her pics on KoinUp. There are no words to describe the beauty of this sim. The amount of details in the textures and prim work is amazing. It was very hard for me to narrow down the amount of pics for tonight’s post and I am sure there are a few places in the sim that I missed. I will definitely be going back soon and if you are following along I -highly- recommend checking it out for yourself.
Tonight’s sim hoping adventure brought me to InSilico, a role play sim set in the year 2479. Honestly there wasn’t anything outstanding in their search description that brought me here but what made me stick around and take pics was the information available on their wiki page. I can appreciate a well planned out story. Here is an expert from the wiki page.
It is the year 2479. The planet lies broken and dying. Wars and environmental neglect have rendered the surface uninhabitable. Scattered amongst the shattered remnants of the old nations, surrounded by the flooded, irradiated, polluted regions, the last of our planet-dwellers live a harsh and brutal existence.
With that said let’s get on to the pics.
When I was a kid I would stay up late with my grandmother and watch the twilight zone. It was one of my fondest memories of my grandmother. I grew to love the show as much as the time I spent with her. On tonight’s stop of the 30 sims in 30 days tour I went to Immersiva and it instantly reminded me of the show. The feeling of being alone in someones strange nightmare or daydream was overwhelming. It’s a good thing I wasn’t playing in the dark. A few things, while these shots are not photoshopped I did have to fiddle with the in game environment settings to get this look to the sky. I remember when they introduced environment settings they talked about allowing residents to easily share saved pre-sets. That has not yet happened and its been over 2 years give or take since it was introduced into the viewer. So if you do plan on visiting this sim you’ll have to adjust your settings which can take some time, thankfully the owner of the sim provides a notecard with details. Okay on with the pics!
Yes this is not about WoW and this isn’t even about an MMO. I think I’ve reached an all new level of boredom and gone back to Second Life. You see I’ve been a member of Second Life for…6 years in July and while I have a small parcel of land and friends who frequently log in I have not touched the place since last April or May. Second Life is a complicated place for those unfamiliar with it. To this day I still feel like I’m beta testing the client. While some of the more prevalent bugs that plagued the place last I left have not come up this visit I still find the place to be magnet for instability. But what can I say I have a weakness for virtual decorating.
But that is not the purpose of this post. This post is to talk about a little project I’ve decided to work on. I got the urge to visit a sim that had nothing to do with the favorite past times of most SL residents; shopping, dancing mindless in clubs, “blingin” out, and drama hording. Instead I picked a random sim from the new showcase feature, well new to me anyways. At first I just figured I’d walk around and fill some time, snap some pics, and move on. While I was snapping pictures I thought it might be cool to find some other places to visit later on and keep an album. That some how morphed into this project, 30 sims in 30 days. While there are way more than 30 sims in SL I am only going to cover 30 cause let’s face it if I make it past one post it will be a miracle. So on with the pics. These are all straight shots, no photoshop work other than to crop them. The 1st sim I decided to visit was The Mother Road and this is the description that brought me to it. “Like Route 66, which snakes its way across the United States from Los Angeles to Chicago, this slice of Americana mirrors its real-world counterpart with its gas stations, diners, corn fields, and sense of remoteness.”
