Click here to visit The Station in Second Life, which is a steampunk city in the sky held aloft by balloons. Kara Trapdoor (a regular Station visitor) invited me there on a recent SL visit, and told me about the carnival games, and the place's many events (including karaoke -- how does that even work?), and it all kinda looked like the floating city in BioShock Infinite, but then Ms. Trapdoor led me through me a secret door where I saw a very interesting use of mesh that would have gotten that game an M rating. So it's got that going for it too. Click here to explore The Station yourself.

It was great to see you again, and thanks for posting this. It really is a fun filled sim.

I will have to give this a look see.
NOT RELATED TO THE SIM AT ALL BUT TO BIOSHOCK:
I've been thinking about that game a LOT lately, and how it has all the overt racism of the society it is in - and the reaction that gets.
Its become THE MEME now for lots of 'white liberals' to cart that game out now with a self-congratulatory pat on the back of 'look, we're not racist anymore so we play this fiction about racist we used to be'...
- And I'm finding that very disturbing...
Not sure its something to revel in, even to revel in it from a 'we have progressed' point of view.
The victims in these narratives are not being humanized. They are still being carted out as props for white people for them to address their own conscience at our dehumanized expense.
- Its a pat on the back they are giving themselves - but in a way that seems deserving of a slap in the face.
