    I went to Isle of View today about 30 minutes before the event ended, but it looked like most of the Lindens and Moles had already left. I didn’t get my yearly photo with Izzy Linden even though he was there, because he poofed shortly after. Still, I did get some more Galentine’s Day photos with Sparkle and Fay, so it wasn’t a total loss. If you want to hug or dunk a Linden, go tomorrow on Valentine’s Day. They’re doing it again from 1 to 3 PM SLT.

    After we took our photos, Fay told me to click the Speed Dating sign at Isle of View. This was new to me and I haven’t seen it before. At the Speed Dating area, you sit on the chairs and within a few seconds they start rotating you around the venue to a different table. It’s actually kind of clever, but I’m pretty sure I went too late because barely anyone was there.

    Except for this guy.

    Side note, yes, I edited these photos with AI (ChatGPT). I know they look more realistic, but I still think they’re true to our avatars. It’s just a realistic glow up.

    Valentine's Day 2025, Izzy Linden
    with Izzy Linden

    Happy Valentine’s Day! Did something happen at Linden Lab today? The Dunk & Hug a Linden or Mole Event was lacking the very reasons we came— the Lindens! I saw only four Lindens in attendance while I was there, which is just a fraction of last year’s participation. Thank you for showing up, Izzy Linden!

    I may not have any specific favorite Lindens, but I definitely appreciate those who make an effort to attend events and engage with the community. I felt quite let down by the limited attendance from Lindens this year.

    Before leaving the party, I made sure to take a photo with head mole, Abnor Mole! Thank you for all you do for Bellisseria!

    Here are a few suggestions for next year’s Valentine’s Day event:

    • Have more Lindens present.
    • Employ a dedicated photographer who can take & send photos to each resident. It’s a charming touch! Theme parks have this feature, and people really enjoy it.
    • Be more engaging; a simple greeting to residents goes a long way.

    I take lots of photos, so taking a photo under pressure (a few seconds) is not that hard. I think a lot of other residents feel awkward, so they may want to take a photo but they don’t know how to do it quickly. Please have a dedicated photographer next year!

    This year’s event just didn’t feel like a party at all. Honestly, I felt a bit sad, even though it has become a tradition for me. I plan to attend again next year, and I truly hope it is better attended.
