Lucky Chairs

I’ve been debating setting these out for a while, but I finally have my main store organized in a way that makes sense for them! I’m starting with 2 chairs (for group members only), and they’re placed directly to the left of the landing point. Everything in my store (except gift cards, gachas, and items at events) is eligible to be won!

Gacha Demo Rezzer

Gachas aren’t my favorite thing, but I do have 2 of them! One of my pet peeves about gachas in general is how tiny the image keys are, plus there usually aren’t demos of all the prizes inside. I finally decided to fix that for mine, and created a demo rezzer (with purchasing disabled) for each item! Now everything can be seen how it’d actually look in-world. Try it out in my demo area behind the landing point.

Reminder: I like to keep gachas fair — that’s why there are no rares, and the prizes are set to copy (no mod/no trans).

As I mentioned on Flickr earlier this week, I’ve decided to move my main store back to the mainland! After getting a home in Bellisseria, I realized I missed the community feel and expansiveness that comes with a continent. I also don’t need an entire sim — or the rental fees that come with it — though I did enjoy the prims, land options, and less lag.

This time I wanted to be in a place I loved, so I made sure to thoroughly inspect the property lines & neighborhood before buying (something I didn’t really do for my first mainland experience). I also wanted a place I’d be happy to call home, in the unlikely event of my store closing.

After checking out a bunch of locations, I noticed a forum thread for a 1024 plot in Nautilus. But not just any plot — a double prim, 4-way protected plot. I’d never seen that much “protection” before, so I went to investigate. On arrival, I was greeted with a parcel that bordered a huge Linden park, which in turn bordered a canal. The rest was surrounded by wide Linden walkways, save for a shared border with an adjacent parcel. These walkways were raised a couple meters above the land, so they also acted as walls, and included a set of stairs down to the parcel level.

Then I noticed the adjacent parcel was for sale from a different person. And I realized that would be perfect … 2048 meters, 1400ish prims, 100% protected, and with walkways that allow for breathing room from the neighbors. Plus direct access to a park that takes up half the region! Now, Nautilus isn’t cheap, but I felt like all these perks were worth it — and after flying around the continent, it was one of the least expensive parcels there. The only cons are neighbors with breedables, but I’m hoping they disappear eventually.

I gave myself a couple days to think about it and keep looking around, but I kept coming back. So I knew I needed to act — as long as I never ever move again 🙂 I’m still putting the finishing touches on everything, but come visit the next time you’re in-world!
