Yeah me too, I doesn't all random card booster packs event... (like to have the right to choose where to put my cash XD)

@EverthangForever - In the scene discussions thread I have provided what i think is the probable solution to your problem with artefacts when using the ripple shader on a clip.

http://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/27449/87?post=639682

@EverthangForever

I have not downloaded your latest scene yet due to network capacity limits (I will probably get it tomorrow or the day after via a different network)

However, I suspect that when you say that the ripple shader leaves artifacts occasionally this is due to a few odd pixels being left over from one frame to the next and that this in turn is due to the varying size of the bounding box for the clip changing from frame to frame (you can see this if you use blend: false on the clip sprite, the bounding box will show up as a continuously varying sized black background to the clip).

You can eliminate this by telling the program to use a bigger bounding box by adding something like border: 100 to the clip node.

clip {
id : Clip1
allow : pole
border : 100
}

This increases the bounding box by 100 in each direction. Choose a value that is big enough to eliminate the artefact but not too big because it increases the work that has to be done by the shader because it increases the number of pixels it has to act on. You need a border that is large enough to contain the largest ripple.

Yeah, those were the ones I remember. I had both on my phone. Honestly miss having the Live Wallpaper since I used that to oggle Mandy Dee when I was bored.

NB: The ripple shader still leaves artifacts occasionally. I don't know why :-/
Corrected left-right model orientation & included @TheEmu 's

They Had two products

One was a Live Wallpaper, that when the phone was shaken, the Model would dance.
There were 5 Girls for that product.

The other was called Wakeup Girls.
You could set an Alarm and have her Sexy voice wake you up.

Old Product Review
https://www.similarplay.com/totem_core_limited/wake_up_girls/apps/com.totemcorelimited.wakeupgirls

I remember there was an old app for a SFW version of Virtuagirl. I've still got it on one of my old phones. I know since it has one of my favorite models on it Mandy Dee.

@SetFuego - I was using the German fair stand as an example of a kind of business practice that others have claimed is not used, or would be absurd to be used, by other businesses. In this case requiring people to play a gambling game in order to purchase something that the trader could simply sell. These fairground stalls do exist, and are presumably profitable because they are very common. After observing them now for almost 45 years I still do not understand why they are popular, though they certainly are. I used them as an example because they show the practice in its purest form rather than combining it with any other practices.

When is the buy 3 cards get 1 free deal coming back? I prefer specific types of cards and appreciate being able to choose which deal I get. I will ***** a hole through my wallet if this deal comes back 😂

Wow, amazing how stupid we all seem to be except one. Thank you for the enlightenment. Oh, and how we Germans tick this way. Respect.

@shodan084 - which of the following statements do you disagree with

1) Totem are profiting from offering SEC cards and games.

2) Other businesses use similar practices.

Indeed to a large extent that is why I keep on making the points that i do - these things should be "***** obvious", to use a typical English phrase, but people keep on claiming exactly the opposite is true.

The amount of time you have dedicated to the crown, stepping on those who have a different opinion to you is... admirable, in a way. ;)

Ava Black is pretty spirited at times. Undivided Attention certainly has some energetic dancing.

The official answer is 'No'

The answer to the question that the OP is wondering about is 'Yes'

Thanks
No problem
When I buy the card, the discount was visible

@Boorlom - I was not thinking of that type of fairground attraction. In Germany a common travelling fair stall simply sells small envelopes containing tickets awarding you a random number of points that you can accumulate and cash in for a cheap fluffy toy. Quite why anybody bothers to buy a ticket is beyond me because the value of the toys are far less than what you need to spend to get them - but they are surprisingly popular. Unlike other kinds of stall, such as hoop-la or the grabber machines, there is no pretense that any skill is involved.

Edit: When I said I do not understand why anybody bothers with these "attractions" I was forgettng the combined effects of ***** and a girlfriend demanding that you try to win a cuddly snake or whatever this years star prize happens to be.

The Emu, unfortunately in my country, sometimes these machines put not only cheap toys, but also a few expensive and slightly larger. And the mechanical arm is adjusted in such a way that it cannot lift them.

I am very sorry that there is a ban in the contract on the sale of potentially good-selling goods. It was possible to simultaneously sell these cards for more credits and play in various events. Recently, I buy selectively, want to have a collection of only favorites. I am ready to pay 1000 credits for a card with a favorite, but I will not play.

If it is anything like any of the earlier promotions you will only be offered cards that you do not already own.

I believe that the short anwer to this question is - no.

A slightly longer answer is that in order to properly play the clips that were released as "crystal clear+" you need one of the two (or possibly three) latest version of the software. It is my understanding that this is true even at the lower resolutions.

Hi everyone. One of my computers has an older version of the software. I am wondering if anyone is able to play all new models on an older version of the software? I only use the 720p files.

@Barloom

I have not once seen parents in regular grocery stores trying to win a soft toy for their ***** by making a large number of attempts.

I have, however, often seen both men and teenage boys trying to win a soft toy for their girlfriend, wife or ***** in a fairground by buying lotto (raffle) tickets. Such stall are one of the most common attractions at German fairs. It is almost impossible to win one of these toys for less than about ten or twenty times what they would cost in a normal store (but you are unlikely to find one in a normal store because they are of too low a quality for almost any normal store to stock).

And TheEmu thinks that if a person refuses to play, then he does not know about the existence of such games?

I think no such thing. I think that in most cases that the player does know about such things but decides to play anyway. In many (possibly most) cases the decision to do so is illogical but people are known to do so anyway - this is often because most people do not understand probabilty which is a major reason why it is profitable for the providers of such games (such as Totem) to offer them.

Logic? TheEmu writes about simple and banal things that all users know about.

This is quite true, at least the first part of the sentence, I write about them because people here are often saying that are in contradictiction to these simple banal things, It seems that a lot of these posters either do not know or are deliberately ignoring this knowledge. Indeed to a large extent that is why I keep on making the points that i do - these things should be "***** obvious", to use a typical English phrase, but people keep on claiming exactly the opposite is true.

Personally, I think that this interactive mode will allow to play the shows we have purchased by streaming through the web browser. So, beware of the datas used if its the case.

Having the money and in the mood for a little fun I did play one of the events a while back. But learning that cards are now being gated exclusively behind gambling mechanics sullies the service for me personally.

I don't fancy debating have vs have-not, profit>ethics, or the inherrant trappings of gaming as a whole.
Simply to say that far too many services I see are going this route and I recognise iStripper has a monopoly in this particular market.

I wish it was not the case but this will likely give me pause in deciding future credit purchases.

The Price you See, is what is from the LAST sync with Server you app made.
So to See the most Current Correct Price.
It is best to Always perform a Sync with Server before you start to make a Purchase.

Normally, this is not needed, but in the case where it is close to the end of a Promotion.
it can help avoid, a difference between the Server price, and the Stored price in your data folder.

What if already have one of cards that's in the pack ?

Logic? TheEmu writes about simple and banal things that all users know about.

When I wrote about the idea of one man, I did not mean that he invented gambling, but that he decided to implement it in this company.

In the ' 90s, I had a friend who regularly played slot machines in several clubs (the clubs were small no more than twenty machines, but there were a lot of takers). He was able to calculate the algorithm in several machines (with old machines it was real, now it is not). And started winning. He tried not to attract attention, began to visit less often, as it seemed to him. The scheme was simple: he made several attempts, then gave way to others and tried to understand what step is the cycle. If he succeeded, he asked to give way for 10-15 without winning combinations. He was spotted quickly enough and ***** professionally with a single stab to the heart.

I have not once seen parents in regular grocery stores trying to win a soft toy for their ***** by making a large number of attempts. Although any toy from these machines can be bought in the store. Human excitement without borders.
And TheEmu thinks that if a person refuses to play, then he does not know about the existence of such games? Very strange.
I called this topic not " Special Event Card - what is it?", and " Special Event Card-Why?". in full: Why is it here? I know what it is, but I ***** to see it here.
There is not a happy star, there is a clear algorithm, roughly speaking, a line in the program that eccentrics sometimes allows to win.

@HombreSinSombra
Mathematically, this is correct.
10 days = 240 hours

Theoretically, it would be November 8 at 10:00 am (CET).

I'm assuming a guess.
I will try to confirm or refute this assumption with one of those shows that I have not bought yet.

and too diverge for a moment, It was a rediculously hard process to cancel. It was unintuitive, stressful and time consuming maze of hoops to jump through

Next time, buy via Epoch... their site is very user-friendly and you can cancel a recurring subscription in just a couple of clicks.

@spidey:
With respect, your maths is wrong, my friend. That example should have finished at 10.00 am Paris time on Nov 8th.

If release date/ time is 29-10-19 @10.00am. That is the starting point. Count 10 days exactly and it's 08-11-19 @10.am.

@celine Yes same problem still. Just emailed you the vghd.log file. Thanks Celine!

@portoricos

My assumption is this:

The day of release of a show is the first day (release day). Also in the next nine following days there is the premium discount.
The premium discount ends at midnight on this tenth day (CET - Paris, France).

Example: e1259 - Alice Wonder / The Eighth Sin

Oct 29 - Release date
Oct 30
Oct 31
Nov 1
Nov 2
Nov 3
Nov 4
Nov 5
Nov 6
Nov 7

###

I think the problem has been caused by the advertisement of the discount.
The discount was still visible after midnight.
You assumed that the discount still exists and you bought the show.

I noticed the following:

If I turn my computer on at 8 o'clock in the morning, then the discount for the shows of the past days will be displayed.

The new show on the day is usually unlocked around 10 o'clock.
This new show will be displayed together with the sticker "NEW". Only after syncronization will the premium discount be displayed.

Can I comment as an impartial observer to this debate? Well I will anyway, and it is not as a moderator.

From what I have seen, TheEmu, is being clinical in his comments. He is merely stating what to me are reasonably self evident facts and he goes to some considerable effort to differentiate his logic against his personal unhappiness with the use of the Special Event cards.

So maybe instead of arguing with TheEmu, look purely at his logic and understand that its not his personal opinion.

The two can be totally separate things.

Cheers

@DANO70

You seem to be completely misunderstanding what I have been saying.

I am not in any way trying to justify anything. I don't like the SEC cards or the gambling games either. However people repeatedly claim that

1) Totem are losing money when they use these practices

2) Such practices are rarely encountered elsewhere

Neither of these claims are true. I can't actually prove that Totem make money by them but they do have the data to know whereas we do not. I doubt very much that they continue to do something that they know adversely affects their profits.

As far as the second claim is concerned I will try to make it even clearer. The practice I have been refering to is that of artificially making something rare and then either selling it directly at an inflated price or (as is the case with trading cards) requiring some sort of gamble (e.g. buying packs of cards without knowing their contents) in the hope of getting a particular card. This has long been a common feature of many businesses both in the physical world and now in the virtual word, for example "loot boxes" in games. What the people can do with the goods after they purchase them makes no difference at all to this basic practice though it can affect how attractive such practices are to them.

I have expressed no opinion as to whether such practices are disreputable or not (in fact I find them mildly distasteful), only about their effectiveness and how often they are used elsewhere.

I'll never own any of these until there is a straight forward way to get them period. I will not be tricked into or spend mass credits for likely nothing. Logic won't change that or make me feel sorry for the company when people don't like it. They have not handled these things properly and to me thats the problem. You can justify all you want. Something is wrong if your haveing to debate it back and forth everyday logical or not. They can do this better so no one looses out and still make a profit end of story gents. And comparing something you can outright buy no matter the price tag or things you can actually sell, trade after the sale (Pokemon/Magic) is rather pointless IMO.

@Yuufa - the point was that the limited availability of both rare Pokemon cards and the iStripper SEC cards is a completely arbitrary choice made by the producer. In both cases the producer could have easily made more at little or no cost and sold more but chose not to. In both cases the rarity is totally artificial. This is a common business practice and has been so since at least the time that mass producion of mechanically reproduced art - i.e. since the printing of books became practical. It has always be common in the "fine art" print market, and continues today even in the case of prints from digital photographs.

All,

I have noticed reading back that some comments are were getting borderline with *****. Please keep your comments respectful and park the attitude please.

Otherwise continue with your comments both for and against, that is your rights.

I know ive often ***** about some methods of sales, gambling and SEC card sgenanigans, and i ***** them still... But as my shiney crown obvious states i am still a sucker, and paidf for the premium sub (just one year)

and too diverge for a moment, It was a rediculously hard process to cancel. It was unintuitive, stressful and time consuming maze of hoops to jump through

BUT i am willing to tyakle back some things, Totem demonstate a very wide variety of tactics to market and make money many are not at all egregious.

Like this kind of promotion. while i no longer benifit from such, I do thank totem

@celine I have emailed you the file I think you are looking for. And, yes, I am still having the same problem(s).

Thanks!

The rare state of pokemon crads compaired to totem SEC cards is quite irrelivent. and funny too me

For one pokemon cards, or Magic The Gathering cards, the rareones have been phyically produced in a finite quality, one time printing. This has a demonstrable specific cost to produce just that card only 30 times.

In the case of digital goods like SEC, are infinelty reproduceable and no extra cost on top of the orginal production value.. The rarety is false,

In the case of backstage concert passes. Well they are rare and in limited availablity for a very real reason, They cannpot sell mopre than say 5 or 10 becuase they cant have the entire mopd of 100 thousand concert goers backstage. Thus tha exclusivity, rtarely and extra cost has tangible value

In the case of SEC cards theres no such limit, aside for the ,limit artifically created

Analogies are bad

i dont know who saids "its a privage to buy cards", what balderdash, its a privilage for totem we choose to spend money on credits (to purchasde cards). Ity should never be a privage for a customer to spend money for a product..,

Hello
Why I have buy Alice Wonder for 13.75 credits,
is only few cents, but for ten day is not for only 11 credits.
Thanks

Per prima cosa mi scuso per non avere risposto.
Ho visto solo oggi la domanda, io ho Melena e Red Fox, non ho Ginebra
e sono belle tutte e due, non so consigliarti, Melena ha un fisico magnifico,
in questo momento preferisco lei.

Belka for the weekend, just perfect 💖💖

Amen to that, Brother! I'm sitting here watchin her wash windows to Spotify playlist of beach music.

She is on my automatic download list as soon as she makes a card. One of the best new girls of the past few months.

a divine creation

But Jenny Wild also!

Here the same as I described it in the redraw event: The button should be printed with "Meiner Sammlung hinzufügen" in the German translation.
