70 items is a "Massive Sale"???

Cybersox

Given how messed up the M4.V4 Blowout sale has been, it occurred to me that maybe this promotion is equally as messed up.  Could even the DAZ marketing team really think that the word "Massive" accurately represents a promotion that consists of only 70 items (24 G8 items, 26 G3, 20 Hair)?  Or were there supposed to be additional sections that added G2, Genesis and the V4/M4 stuff in the blowout sale.  It could help explain why the Blowout sale disappered so unexpectedly if the same items were supposed to be on sale in a separate sale for the same price through the same period.

I think y ou may be right, I just tried adding stuff from today's sale to my cart with everything from yesterday, which after the screw up over night didn't have enough to trigger the 4 item discount, and now the 4 item discount is triggering for the stuff from the current version of yesterday's sale.

Maybe the ad means "Massive Weekend" with a "Best Of" sale.

Daywalker Designs

Uh, huh... Boring sale to be honest, since I already have some of the stuff being offered.

It might’ve been massive if you haven’t bought up most of the items in the past either from here or RDNA. You might want to check your massive runtime(s)

There are 2 different sales going on.

Mistara

massive should mean minimum 1 thousand

JVRenderer

If massive isn’t good enough, there’s always the upcoming ‘MADNESS’ sale.

Mardook

LOL... had to laugh at the thread title! :)

No, there were only 70 items offered in total in the "Massive Sale".  As it happens, I already own all but 21 of them, so it's a particularly skimpy looking "Massive" sale to me.

In Physics anything with a non-zero rest mass can be described as massive. It is true that these items are all virtual but energy has mass and I think I read somewhere that information and energy are linked in some way although I'm very hazy on this. It's a long time since I did any Physics and this is probably more advanced than what ordinary graduates get to learn anyway.

Anyway, I picked up a few nice things and if Daz want to call the sale massive then that's OK by me.

...so true if you own a lot and have the "Hide items I own" square checked, the selection will be somewhat sparse.  Uncheck that and more will appear.

Also keep in mind, particularly for G8, a number of items are still also "new" status.

moniq8 is in the sale, tempted

e=mc² is the formula that links energy and mass.

@Cybersox

I had a lot less items than that. Like always, it means that you already own the remaining items from whatever selection is eligible. 

I own a lot of product. I have had several buy X get Y sales where nothing shows.

But what is the formula that links information and energy? If we have this we can go all the way from however many gigabytes of information there are in the sale to their equivalent mass. I must admit the whole idea of information having energy sounds a bit weird to me, but if it's a quantum effect then it has to be weird, that's one of the main rules of quantum theory.

Yeah and what about exformation? Is it somehow linked to negative energy?

Not sure if sales can have negative mass but this one came pretty close

NorthOf45

Almost missed that new categories were added, close to 100 more items, including Pro bundles. Not massive, but bigger.

And what was most annoying of the new additions, is I just spent a load of money on some other stuff and they add these items.. Time to sit in corner and cry or to torture my credit card again..

How much negative energy is in the information in a photo of what your friend is eating at the moment?

I think the "information" that physicists ramble on about is the "state" of fundamental particles (spin, charge, etc). The information held in the gigabytes of data of the sale items is entirely virtual; binary-coded digitised representations of imaginary artworks.

There is no spoon that has no mass, and yet it weighs heavily on our minds.

I think we're on to something here. If information has energy does fake news have negative energy? Maybe we can travel to the stars if we find the right twitter feeds to power the warp drive.

Some kind of DAZ bridge to feed certain threads over here would take us pretty far.

Those marketing people, always trying to manipulate us, they carefully chose words to change our mood or motivation, even meaning. In this case, it was "Massive". But they don't realize that abuse of strong words produce the contrary effect, they devalue the meaning, so, next time we see another Massive Sale, we can assume (because they changed the meaning) it is just a few dozens items on sale. We, the customers are like boxers, when we are hit in the same place several times, we end up covering that part.

it does depend what was massive.
