A Look At The Virtual World Resonite

 

 Have you heard of Resonite, one of the newer virtual worlds? I hadn't really until a few days ago. Created by Tomáš “Frooxius” Mariančík of the Czech Republic and published by Yellow Dog Studios, it officially came online just two years ago in October 2023. One of my friends (Scratch Musikatt) talked me into giving it a look. 

 

 It's comparable to VR Chat, though there's also a third-person view from behind available. As one can see, the starter avatars aren't very much. It's clearly expected of you to move on to a better avie once you know more about the place. 

 

 Unlike VR Chat, you have an inventory. Looking into mine, I found a card showing the controls, which could be adjusted in size. 

 

If you go about and see someone with a green microphone symbol over their heads, they're volunteer mentors who should be able to answer most any question you have.  

 

I may write more on this place soon. For now, you can read more about this new virtual world on it's website (https://resonite.com/), and it's Wiki (https://wiki.resonite.com/Main_Page).

Relay Weekend: Day One

 

 

 Saturday June 8 was Day One of the 2024 Relay Weekend. For me, it started to a quick trip to the team Sunbeamer campsite (one avatar the viewer refused to rezz).

I then headed to the opening ceremonies. This picture is from the video, as my own of the crowd had too many naked and half-rezzed avatars. 

Then at 11 AM came the survivors and caregivers lap. Since I cared for my Mother following her surgery, I was in the lap. 

At 12:30 was the teams lap.

On the track were avatars from large ...

 

 To small ...

To four-footed ...

And many more. Some of which lagged at sim crossings. 

 

 There were some great campsites.

 

 And some had some interesting features, such as the Second Life Cheerleeding Squad's "Helix of Hope" which gets taller every time someone new clicks on it.

There was plenty to see, and may people to meet. And it continues today.

Officially, the closing ceremonies are at 10 AM, but there will be a victory lap and presumably small unofficial parties on the track. So come on and join the fun.

Go Relay!
