I don't think I agree: it has been repeatedly said by the company that SECs will not be released for sale... but nothing such has been said about Jokers.

But selling jokers would be essentially equivalent to selling SECs. Yes, you can use them to buy other cards - but anyone buying a Joker for what would presumably be a far higher price than any normal card is surely not then going to use it to buy something that they could buy for far less than they paid for the joker .

So, my proposal to give to members which own very big collections (e.g. 5000+ cards or so) the possibility to buy Jokers, might be quite an incentive for much people to get a bigger collection - so, being a convenient thing both for users and for the company.

As this, or something like it, has been proposed several times already it is pretty certain that Totem do not see it being to their advantage. What is good for me or you is not necessarily good for Totem. As a first approximation always thnk of these things as a zero sum game and only then try thinking of why it would not be, with no risk of it being a permanent drain on Totem's potential income.

If Totem does not allow the purchase of SEC cards, it would be surprising if it allowed the purchase of a Joker card

I don't think I agree: it has been repeatedly said by the company that SECs will not be released for sale... but nothing such has been said about Jokers.

Moreover, a Joker is not a "disguised SEC", since it permits to get any card in Store, not only SECs.

So, my proposal to give to members which own very big collections (e.g. 5000+ cards or so) the possibility to buy Jokers, might be quite an incentive for much people to get a bigger collection - so, being a convenient thing both for users and for the company.

OK thanks. There is nothing else in premium that interests me. Initially I thought I might get a joker since it will be my first time.
If it was few years ago only and not now then I'm not buying premium membership.

The FG175, works well for me @EverthangForever.

I can't wait to receive and install my new memory modules (RAM), to see if there will be a difference in performance.

The graphic of this scene is impressive, with its 3D impression.

Thank you.

I am happy for you @Philours. Getting some color back is a sign of getting healthy again. We are always in slow motion, during a recovery. 😆

Here is a song, that will go well for you with this scene, from one of our late great Quebec rock band.

"Slow Motion" by the band "Corbeau", with Marjolaine Morin (Marjo). Song which is according to me part of their best album "Illégal".

To discover, if you don't know. 😊

She was pretty and sexy our Marjo in the 80s. It's always a pleasure to see her again, when she covers her old hits on TV.

La FG175, fonctionne bien pour moi @EverthangForever.

J'ai hâte de recevoir et installer mes nouvelles barrettes mémoires (RAM), pour voir s'il va y avoir une différence dans la performance.

Le graphique de cette scène est impressionnante, avec son impression de 3D.

Merci.

Je suis content pour vous @Philours. Retrouver des couleurs, est un signe de retour à la santé. On est toujours au ralenti, lors d'un rétablissement. 😆

Tiens une chanson, qui va bien aller pour vous avec cette scène, d'un de nos défunts grand groupe de rock québécois.

"Slow Motion" du groupe "Corbeau", avec Marjolaine Morin (Marjo). Chanson qui fait partie selon moi de leur meilleur album "Illégal"

À découvrir, si vous ne connaissez pas. 😊

Elle était jolie et sexy notre Marjo dans les *****ées 80. C'est toujours un plaisir de la revoir, lorsqu'elle reprend ses anciens succès à la télé.

@desexyvideoclub
The Joker are not for sell, you can only get some by the TGIF games, when they are available.

FG175 fonctionne, toujours comme si j'avais choisis de mettre sur "ralenti" Mais, au moins j'ai récupéré des couleurs 😄😄
FG175 works, still as if I had chosen to put it on "slow motion" But, at least I got some colors back 😄😄

I don't think you gonna get the bonus joker card, it seems it was a one time thing unfortunately...

Another question: is there a way to get a joker card other than being lucky? what about buying them directly is that a possibility?

If Totem does not allow the purchase of SEC cards, it would be surprising if it allowed the purchase of a Joker card, since this is the only card that can be exchanged to obtain an SEC card.

Si Totem ne permet pas l'achat des cartes SEC, il serait surprenant qu'il permette l'achat d'une carte Joker, puisque c'est la seule carte que l'on peut échanger pour obtenir une carte SEC.

@Socialhazard your idea of testing old against new clips is quite important imho. 👍
Thanks lots for that

WebGL Shader Inputs:

uniform vec3 iResolution; // viewport resolution (in pixels)
uniform float iTime; // shader playback time (in seconds)
uniform float iTimeDelta; // render time (in seconds)
uniform int iFrame; // shader playback frame
//uniform float iChannelTime[4]; // channel playback time (in seconds)
//uniform vec3 iChannelResolution[4]; // channel resolution (in pixels)
uniform vec4 iMouse; // mouse pixel coords. xy: current (if MLB down), zw: click
//uniform samplerXX iChannel0..3; // input channel. XX = 2D/Cube
uniform vec4 iDate; // (year, month, day, time in seconds)
//uniform float iSampleRate; // sound sample rate (i.e., 44100)

These are some default settings that Shadertoy's WebGL works with.
As we don't have multichannels like sound on our OpenGL iSplayer,
I have commented out the ones that I figure don't apply on our system.

In the quest for getting shaders to compile and run efficiently, its worth keeping an eye
on your vghd.logs to see if any of the above are creating ommisions or conflicts.

I was intrigued by the slow down of clip frame rate caused by proximity of the model
to the 'Strandbeestie' in da Frosted Forest.fsh Mods recently. There appears to be a
relationship between Clip stuttering and..

• How much ( ie: how close ) does the detail of the shader get to filling the screen
• How independently is detail in the shader moving and what is range of color used.
• Age of the clip ( ie: is it resolution 720p, 1080p, 3K or 4K ? )
• the speed at which the shader is running at.

Here is another shader by Eiffie that you might want to mess with, to test the effects
on clip frame rates.

Still trying to minimise clip stuttering using several methods.

the flash sale cards are changing for sure after a week or more.

Some of the flash sale cards are changing, most of them aren't.
Would there be over 50% of them altered frequently, that would be an improvement.
It's just a marketing question.

I never bought premium membership. So will I get 1 more joker if I join since it will be my first time?

I never bought premium membership. So will I get 1 more joker if I join?

My memory is that the free Joker was only given to those that joined in the first few weeks and that this offer was for limited period was clear in the initial announcement.

Read my text, from what I've learned:

• if you want something to change, change the algorithm and buy few flash sale cards from what you may like. The taste is changing.
• not all the cards at one model will be flash sale.
• the flash sale cards are from all, even from your wishlist.
• the flash sale cards are changing for sure after a week or more.
• the flash sale cards depend on your membership: at fresh member you get 20-25 % sale, at triple diamonds you get 10-15% sale.
• very rare you get the new cards that are one month old at flash sale.
• buy the Premium upgrade to have 4k cards and the new cards at 20% sale.

I know more, but some algorithms don't work anymore or are too rare.
Sometime I play the minigames where I can change the cards that I don't like.
Good luck!

@EverthangForever

I leave it to you then and others that actually know what they are doing. 😳 😄 😎 👍

To my knowledge, being a Premium member myself, there was only the first year of membership, that a Joker card was given as a gift.

À ma connaissance, étant membre Premium moi-même, il n'y a eu que la première *****ée d'adhésion, qu'un carte Joker était donnée en cadeau.

Frosted ForestMod02.fsh in FG173x

@Socialhazard interesting to experiment / compare with the code like that. Thanks, I get that too 👍
and ..yes it ends inside a tree on the Shadertoy.com website as well. 😄

One year premium membership doesn't give a joker card?
Last year I got a joker card for joining, did that feature got removed?
Or is there a new program mechanic to get and use a joker card? since I can't find it.

FG173x Frosted ForestMod02.fsh

for(int i=3;i>=0;i--){if(h==0.)continue;

with test cards Ariel A e0967 and Merry Pie e0092

FG173 Ariel A sometimes slow, Merry Pie slow.
FG173x Ariel A sometimes slow, Merry Pie ok.

The 'Strandbeest' does slow things as mentioned.

Hope that is useful. 😕 😎

Also, is the scene supposed to just end inside a tree like that? 😄

En effet, je suis tellement compatissant avec @Philours, que j'adopte un humour noir. Je ne peux rien vous cacher, même dans le noir. 😉

Ça mériterait bien une photo avec une chambre noire.😆

They are presented in descending order of the rating. I'm currently getting card rated 4.63 so next I will get cards rated 4.62.

What would be the marketing purpose of playing them in descending order instead of randomly?

@Kloving
Did you get three 's'?
The big box is not a definite winner.
It is what you win if you get three 's' also.

I can't remember exactly. There might have been just 2 'S', instead of 3 :(

Is the game Lucky Tiger bugged? I played it and got a "Special Event card", but I didn't receive anything?

Qu'avez-vous contre le noir @Philours ? Vous devriez-être satisfait ! Enfin du noir à l'écran !

Jamais content finalement. 😆

@ComteDracula, vous êtes moqueur alors que vous devriez vous joindre à la peine de @Philours. C'est pour le coup de l'humour noir.😆

Et bien aux dernières nouvelles nous serions dans le gris 😊

Le gris?

Probablement, mais ce sont les clients qui établissent les lois du marché.

C'est une vérité bien vraie.👍

I don't think the previews have anything to do with wishlist.

They are presented in descending order of the rating. I'm currently getting card rated 4.63 so next I will get cards rated 4.62.

There is a minimum required rating so anything below wont show in the preview. Once all the cards at that rating have been previewed. The rotation starts at the top rated cards and starts counting down again.

The minimum does change slightly in my case; my guess it this minimum rating is based on your collection but not sure how. My minimum is around 4.5 last I noticed.

New cards are skipped so cards that aren't at least 30 days old wont show up.

flesh sales is for buying what you didn't want
don't look more logic into it

@Z22 I have been playing this with some tweeks like changing the above line 173 to ..

for(int i=3;i>=0;i--){if(h[i]==0.)continue;

and the model seeems to be a better frame rate..well that is until she gets
close to da Strandbeest of course. Thanks for your tip about 'for' loops :-)

I get Melena Maria, Katya Clover, Tracy smile, Niemira and Melissa on the free previews 80% of the time, I have it set to 10 min. I have 529 cards on my wishlist, and I always seem to get the same models on the previews.
Somtimes I'll get a 2021 Crystal Clear+ show, and Ill take it, but it happens every once in a while.
I would think it's set to NOT put on sale the cards you wishlisted, otherwise you would finish your collection too quick, so the preview keeps pushing the older cards with higher ratings, thinking that we might like them enough to buy em.
But yeah, it needs to change
-----------------
Je reçois toujours Melena Maria, Katya Clover, Tracy smile, Niemira et Melissa, je l'ai réglé sur 10 min. J'ai 529 cartes sur ma liste de souhaits, et je semble toujours avoir les mêmes modèles sur les aperçus 80 % du temps, parfois j'obtiendrai un spectacle Crystal Clear + 2021, et je le prendrai, mais cela arrivera de temps en temps .
Je pense qu'il est configuré pour ne PAS mettre en vente les cartes que vous avez listées, sinon vous termineriez votre collection trop rapidement, donc l'aperçu continue de pousser les anciennes cartes avec des notes plus élevées, pensant que nous décevrons les aimer suffisamment pour les acheter.
Mais oui, il faut que ça change

FG173

Some model stuttering but depends on the card as per usual, but I really like this scene. 👍 😎

Moi, elle fonctionne.

Qu'avez-vous contre le noir @Philours ? Vous devriez-être satisfait ! Enfin du noir à l'écran !

Jamais content finalement. 😆

Petite question comme cela. Avez-vous ouvert votre écran ? Bon OK j'ai compris.


It works for me.

What do you have against black @Philours? You should be satisfied! Finally some black on the screen!

Never happy after all. 😆

A quick question like this. Did you open your screen? OK, I got it.

Avec plaisir !

Parfait merci de tes réponses Zawan ;)

Donc juste Paypal ?? :D

CB PAYPAL *X. FACT (suite de nombres) , enfin voilà, c'est discret, tu n'as rien à craindre. 😄

Sur ton releve bancaire qu'est ce qui apparait en libelle ? "Paypal" ? ou "Epoch" ? enfin est-ce discret ?

"PAYPAL" apparait sur mon libellé. Tu peux donc consommer les magnifiques femmes d'iStripper en toute discrétion.😉

La scène FG173 me donne un écran complètement noir 😳

Bonjour @Kikoudu69, j'ai toujours acheté mes crédits via Paypal. Quelle est ta question ?

You stayed away too long :-(
Shaders can't keep up with 4K monitors + fullscreen ?
This one even siezes up if the model gets stuck in a tree..on my 60Hz 1360 x 768 potato screen https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/29408/68?post=737134

Yeh, the frosted forest shader appears to be quite heavy. Its using between 70% and 90% of my 3090.

It has a bunch of "for" loops with one being

for(int i=7;i>=0;i--){if(h[i]==0.)continue;

this loop appears to be the hog, reducing it to 1 loop cuts gpu usage in half. It does make it more grainy but you could pass the result through a denoise/blur filter which shouldn't cost as much

Bonjour, qui achete ces crédit via Paypal ici :D J'ai des questions concernant le libellé sur le relevé bancaire :) Je précise je parle au Francais

Merci @EverthangForever. 😊

Il n'y a pas de ET - FractalGarden173.scn dans ce dossier, @EverthangForever.

There is probably some bias for newer cards too i guess but have never tested.

@Z22 definitely I would say.
