    If you are having trouble keeping track of what time it is in another time zone, you can add it to the Windows clock in the notification area (up to two additional).

    See Date/Time settings => Add Clocks for Different Time Zones. Once applied, you just have to hover the mouse over the time display and the pop-up will show all your clocks.

  • Oooo.. the whole weekend. Thanks! :)

    Thanks for the reminder!  I haven't used this feature in a really long while (since the Olympics in London) :-)

    If anyone has the time to list the items per interval, that would be much appreciated (if only so the ones who own them already know they didn't miss anything... and for the ones who don't have them to cry to the heavens cheeky). 

    Seconded. Please and thank you. I did see some links from the group I missed by a half hour that had an outfit I already had textures for, probably from an appearance on the freebie page. Fiddlesticks.

    Well, I actually got something for a change, the Dove Hair for G3F. Not much to tickle my fancy in earlier sets. Now to see what comes up in half an hour or so (if I've added up the time right)...

    I just nabbed that with 2 minutes to spare after waking up - yay for needing significantly less than eight hours sleep laugh

    Now, coffee.

  • Oh that's bogus. Two of the possible freebies are encrypted. :|

    Now I'm doubly glad I woke up in time for the previous batch:)

    And of course the encrypted ones are the only ones I don't own yet, but I'll nope this round. Ah well...

    They'll become unencrypted soon. :)

    What does it mean if they're encrypted? And which ones are encrypted?

    /super noob

    Edit: (I see now the first two hip-hop outfits have 'Encrypted Daz Connect', so I assume those are the ones.)

    That's really annoying, including encrypted items in the sale. :thumbsdown:

    Then again, maybe that's why they're on sale since not as many folks would get them otherwise. For me, still a Nope, even when free.

    You need to install them inside DAZ Studio (DAZ Connect thingy).

    I just realized it after I picked one... angry

    The two hip-hop items are encrypted (but they will decrypt at the end of January when they are a year old).

    Put very simply, it means you can only install them with Connect, and you cannot put them where you want.

    For me that is a big no, since I have my runtime set up my own way (rearranging for example poses that go with a prop to be placed under that prop rather than with the figure they go with, or putting Props that are landscapes or such in Environments) and I prefer to install by hand (I don't even use DIM).

    The other objection I have is about the fact that encryption/DRM in general is not very customer friendly, and a lot less effective against piracy than taking down sites, but that's a different discussion laugh

    I picked the encrypted (poses), and I downloaded 'em in DIM. So either they became de-encrypted, or "DAZ Connect" in download filters is working and doing something useful..?

    I had picked the outfit, and it doesn't show up in DIM.  I do have the DAZConect boxes checked...

    I got the outfit without seeing that it was Daz Connect only

    Until I got a message after checkout telling me that it wasn't Dimm compatiable 

    Not worried about it since it was free so it'll just sit in my account as I won't download anything encrypted

    Well, I want to get the whole Hip-Hop bundle someday, so I'll skip these two parts. Getting the individual pieces is usually more expensive in the long run, unless you want to wait to maybe get them on a super sale (or glitch) in a couple more years...

  • SkirikiSkiriki Posts: 4,976

    Hmm, that is odd; I mean, the poses are also listed as "encrypted" and they're a part of that bundle. Oh well, I guess the outfit is going to be unencrypted soon enough! I hope so!

    According to the encrypted content thread they'll be freed at the end of january. I may go ahead and pick up the outfit, but I just hope I remember to dl it in two months.

    tell us what you thought of the movie, L'Adair. I'm looking forward to seeing it. And my hubby too, has a crush on Gal Gadot LOL.  

    L'Adair said:

    Yawn.
    cheeky

    I didn't have the Galactic Corps stuff, so I grabbed the outfit for free. I'm bored. Think I'll go to a movie...! (Justice League. Hubby's been wanting to see that since he heard they were making it. I think he's got a crush on Gal Gadot.)

    I loved it. I'm ready to go back and watch it again. We watched it in 3D, as the standard showing we planned on attending didn't have any decent seats left. Lots of fun. Great one liners, here and there, too.

    I just realized it after I read you guys talking about it. Guess I'll wait until it shows up in DIM to get it.

    If you use DIM, it will automatically show up. If not, well, maybe we can all try to remind each other... lol!

    The new batch of free items is up.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    only two showing for me this time. :sigh: Maybe I need to stop buying stuff. LOL

    Those skins are expensive and I don't know why they are not rolling out the most important Dforce items --> Cloaks and Capes...

    $17 should be Male and Female or split products.

    Not feeling these price spikes.

    And even so, items are coming with less features.

    Post edited by Griffin Avid on
  • Phew. Nice new releases, but quite expensive I have to say. The gift card offer helps a little although 9% is not that much compared to other gift card promos. Might be a bit spoiled from the recent sales but guess I'll stick to only Zev0's Morphs which is the Must Have in todays products.

  • Well it really makes the products battle. 

    Everyday, I have to make tough choices.

    There's a lot of 'regular' items I would get, but money doesn't go as far.

    So it's like "What will really, really, really help my work."

    Everything else remains something I want, but have to wishlist.

    I want that skin, but then I think 'When will I actually need to use it?'

    Like always every product seems to arrive late. I needed THAT crazy skin back before Halloween.

    Would have paid full price probably. lol

    And then it's narrow (again like all Daz vendors seem to do) for Females.- cause, you know, men don't get sick or infected, only scantily clad women get diseases....

    And I want it. And the impulse "Just do it, you'll survive somehow" rings hollow when I just got back to eating cheese with the crackers.

    Plus, I know some much-anticipated items are around the corner.

    -------------------

    Usually someone chimes in at how hard product XYZ is to make .

    They are all hard to make if great results are desired, but really.

    The line stops at $12. You'd better be making a whole-frittin-town..above that price point.lol

  • would you agree that "Get 3 featured items FREE* with purchase of any new release" would never happen, considering the number of items is very low each time, the case that somebody would want 3 of them so bad to by another item to get them is highly unlikely. I wonder who came up with this brilliant idea. laugh
