Totem offers approximately 4520 cards....There are 14 SE cards. 9/14 cards are from girls who have 12 or more shows. So we are ***** about 0.3% of cards, where 70% of these 0.3% are from girls with huge collections available. And none of them are considered truly special...one has roller skates, another has a shopping bag, a few are seasonal. The real "problem" is the fact that people aren't willing to go without 0.3% of a collection without paying exhorbinant prices...is it ego or just an addiction.

Even weirder...a person with 4520 cards...lets say they watch 8 hours of cards a day, every day, it would take 420 days to watch their collection. So we have people collecting who might never watch a card, or only watch it once, who are spending massive amounts of money. Something isn't right.

@Vortim, the problem there is that there are some users that have bought every card so they have a huge sunk cost fallacy/***** of missing out. So they will pay ridiculous amounts to keep their full collection (though some have said f it and said they won't buy any more credits).

Proveing my point as to why they will never go away and never be for sale.... Is it really a "problem" in Totems eyes? Nope....

@Opie235

The the cards produced before Crystal Clear used a lower resolution camera than those produced since so the original image quality Totem are working with will be lower for the earlier cards. This will be particularly noticeable if you allow the cards to be scaled beyond their native resolution (controlled by the "Do not zoom of 100% of the clips original size" tick box on the settings page). However, if you do restrict the scalling to not exceed 100% then the height of the affected cards will be limited so they won't fit your screen as well as you might like.

The photo's are made with a much higher resolution still camera so their image quality is not related to that of the clips.

Unfortunately until now the scaling algorithm used for the desktop mode is a relatively poor, but quick, one.

In fullscreen scene mode things are somewhat better as in that mode a better scaling algorithm seems to be used (one that takes advantage of your GPU). It is to be hoped that Totem will, perhaps optionally, use a better scalling algorithm for the dektop mode in some futre release.

I'm looking at 1312 Little Caprice, from 2013. I'm a fan.

The demo quality on my screen that's 3440x1440, is extremely blurry, not enjoyable, and barely viewable.
I see the quality of the photos for this card look much better.

For anyone who owns this card or any card from or before 2013, is the demo quality of these cards the same quality as the full show?

For now I'm just avoiding all the old cards where the demo appears blurry to me, which are cards made before Crystal Clear. Please let me know if the full shows are any different.

Do we need to create a different account for "IStripper Live" or does IStripper automatically log us in?

You need to make a new one. But if you have an account with livejasmin you will most likely be able to use that one.

@Vortim, the problem there is that there are some users that have bought every card so they have a huge sunk cost fallacy/***** of missing out. So they will pay ridiculous amounts to keep their full collection (though some have said f it and said they won't buy any more credits).

It's upsetting that SECs are not even available for purchase when it comes out. It's straight to gambling upon release.

And here we go! Just start y with >0 and nothing is stuck, that's what I meant.. 😊

if you're interested this is what i messing about with.

ahh. think i see it now. thanks.

it now looks like

float lum = GetLuma(1.0-FB.rgb);

float yd = 5.0 + (5.0 * lum) ;

for ( float y=(1.0); y<=yd; y+=1.0 )
{
float xd = (0.5*y);
for ( float x=(-xd); x<=xd; x+=xd )
{
float x1 = x*2.0;
vec2 p1 = vTexCoord.xy + Offset * vec2(x1, y);

Yes, that is correct. But in your first example, the x-loop cannot work on the first y pass, because

for (float y=(0.0); y<25.01; y+=1.0)
{
float xd = (0.25*y);
float xdm = xd+0.1
for (float x=(-xd); x<xdm; x+=(xd))
{

for (float x=(-0.0); x<0.1; x+=0.0)

The first X-loop with Y=0.0 runs dead because of the step size 0.0.

maybe it should be

for (x=(-1.0), x<=1.0; x+=1.0)

edit... yep, that works as intended and x reached xd.

It behaves like

if (x+1.0 < 1.0 )
{
x =+1.0
}
else
{
break;
}

so..

if (x+1.0 < 1.01 )
{
x =+1.0
}
else
{
break;
}

is needed.

i have to add 0.1 or some value to xd otherwise it drops out early and never actually reaches xd.
if i have

for (x=(-1.0), x<1.0; x+=1.0)

it doesnt reach 1.0 and drops out at 0.0;
whereas

for (x=(-1.0); x<1.01; x+=1.0)

then it works as intended and x reaches 1.0

It's to get the giggles. 😆

Whoa, wicked, I checked it before you edited it...😖

But no matter if 0.25 or 0.26, because the error is in the absolute assignment xdm = xd+0.1. The 2nd x-loop is dead, because it can never reach xdm with 0.1 as content with a step size of 0 (xd=(0.25*0)) in the first loop pass. y is =0 in the first pass.

You earn the admiration, awe, respect, adoration, and envy of all the rest of here -- isn't that enough!

So can we earn stuff with these achievements or is it just for kicks and giggles? 😋

Yeh, i think it's because it's the var in the for loop, so the first pass it's fine but when it gets back to do the next for it has a spaz as the value is lower than the starting x.

Have found something else weird though.

for (float y=(0.0); y<25.01; y+=1.0)
{
float xd = (0.25*y);
float xdm = (0.26*y);
for (float x=(-xd); x<xdm; x+=(xd))
{

works

for (float y=(0.0); y<25.01; y+=1.0)
{
float xd = (0.25*y);
float xdm = xd+0.1;
for (float x=(-xd); x<xdm; x+=(xd))
{

crashes.

I think, in the first case x itself is multiplied by 2.0 in each loop pass, whereas in the second case only x*2.0 is passed to the function vec2.
As a programmer in the last millennium I think...right @z22 ?

nm, i have realised why.

hmm...
this...

for (float y=(0.0); y<5.01; y+=1.0)
{
for (float x=(0.5*-y); x<0.5*y; x+=0.5)
{
x *=2.0;
vec2 p1 = vTexCoord.xy + Offset * vec2(x, y);

crashes istripper but
this ...

for (float y=(0.0); y<5.01; y+=1.0)
{
for (float x=(0.5*-y); x<0.5*y; x+=0.5)
{

vec2 p1 = vTexCoord.xy + Offset * vec2(x*2.0, y);

doesn't

err dafuk? Something with amd's compiler perhaps?

sure...

Ok I've seen the profile and sent a PM. I'm waiting the answer from the OP.

@stefnev1 @Manue
***** [Am.] [sl.] [strongly racially offensive, especially when used by a nonblack person]

I think a simple PM is certainly not helpful there. In these cases, a permanent ban is the minimum. Such a thing cannot be tolerated.

less popular SECs like Olivia Sin's
Olivia Sin's SEC is a very good card. It had poor reviews only because it's a New Year card while people waited for a Xmas card (better not to comment on such a thing...)

I just got the SEC from Olivia Sin the other day and this show confirms me in my decision to give almost nothing to this oh so great scoring system where many people leave their brains off when they give the points. I judge only by my own taste and certainly not by the fact if some fathead just couldn't download the corresponding card, if there was a bugged clip or if the show came for Christmas as a New Year's Eve greeting.

But I will not stop cursing this damned sales tactic with the help of SEC's.

I just did a search.
I typed birthday and there are more than two threads.

It's your birthday

happy birthday

birthday special

and others.

The seach worked, but it was rather more than I expected.

Why do we have 2 birthday threads open ??

Because Search function of Forum doesn't work.

Ok I've seen the profile and sent a PM. I'm waiting the answer from the OP.

@stefnev1 - I think it is in response to words used in the OP's profile.

@didgedrum may not realise that the word used there, though considered racist if spoken by a non-black person, it is common parlance in the rap community.

I'm sure no offence was meant.

I have just discovered (sad geek that I am) that JK Rowlings birthday is July 31 1965 and Harry Potter's "official" birthday is July 31 1990.

Anybody want to take any bets that this Anastasiia card gets released on July 31?

By the way - Hermione's birthday is September 19th 1979 so I don't want to have to wait that long...

😆😆😆

I am sooooo looking forward to this card.

@Didgedrum
Why did you write that. It's offensive for the OP when you write

visitor is just a tiny bit racist

I somehow think this temporary visitor is just a tiny bit racist..........apart from immaturely braindead, of course....

Hello and welcome! : ))

I don't mind SECs, if this makes most members happy I'm fine with that. I didn't criticise when SECs were added to a package, like Advent calendars. It's a nice reward for the ones who get all the cards. It's the way of getting other SECs that should be reconsidered, when they are only available through the Scratch Game. This is what dissatisfied members seem to agree on.
I suggested there would probably be a better way of getting them some day, once people are fed up of gambling.

@gkar45 that's for members who want a full collection quickly and have 5,000 euros/dollars to spare... 😉

Interesting and yet no card... curious

Her shows are being processed. Enjoy her VR vid in the meantime :)

Wowowowow

@willyweekly haha, that would really piss off a lot of members; there would probably be members to give away the mystery card's model anyway, so the secrecy wouldn't be for very long. But it's a fun idea 😀

@HansSachs & gkar45 I actually like all Olivia Sin's shows, I was glad I got that card with the advent calendar. I just used her name as an example, meaning the gamble would be to obtain the latest SEC, but instead you are given another SEC you didn't want. And the more SECs there are, the more difficult it's gonna be for a member to get a specific one.

@nm76 Hi, we will check it asap
@ComteDracula It is Verona Sky :) It will be corrected asap. Thank you

VERONA SKY, sorry :)

Interesting and yet no card... curious

Do we need to create a different account for "IStripper Live" or does IStripper automatically log us in?

@setfuego I will tell you something I would never say to the ex-girlfriend....



I do.

I think you just like your beer...😎

totem could make the SEC unknown. Just release a card without a model and say... here is a new one..... no picture, no image, no nothin'

talk about frustrating!!!

bwah ha ha!!!!

(to make it worse, they could hack into our message board accounts and pretend to be us and give the card great reviews!!!)


Bwah ha ha!!!

They should use the SEC for models they couldn't otherwise get. Then have the gambling way of getting them with possibly a low luck option where if you upfront buy let's say 1k points then you get it for sure or something.

Och nööh!
ich will das mädel nicht so beleidigen,wie meine Vorgänger!!
