    Popping in after like ever and a day to put up a Complain.exe  of my own:    Someone asked me where they could find a good tyranno-a-rawrus model and I immediately thought of Dinoraul and Swidhelm's.  So I go get the link and then see that Swidhelm's T.rex is slated for Clearance?? Along with a few of his really cool dragons too.  What gives, why would they do that??  Or does the vendor decide?  Either way it just screamed "This Sucks" to me since Swidhelm - as far as I know - doesn't sell his models anywhere but Renderosity and that T.rex of his is one of the best I've seen, not to mention his DRAGONS

    So I broke my "No spending this month" rule to snap up the two dragons I still had on my wishlist before they went up in smoke forever.  Again, why would they do that? I can get an archaic Poser 4 era model being swept away, but high quality stuff like that which is still A++ level even today?  Whyyyy?

     

     

    Anyway hello again and sorry for the absence;  I jus kinda wandered off and a lot of my posts were getting drowned in a flood of posts anyway and I couldn't keep up and aaaaaaa  I wonder if Fyredrygyon's still here? Haven't done 3D in like ever,  all but given up on that and mostly just draw nowadays~

    hi Rezca!  Welcome back!  Maybe Swidhelm is calling it quits.  You could try to sitemail him and ask him yourself.

    ...is it sturdy?  Looks to be all plastic. Not a bad price though. 

    I'll say I could have still used that third arm tonight making up a big batch of dead bird in Thai curry and veggies for the next couple nights. Came out great. Wonderful for the chilly rainy day we had today.

    Well even if that's the case, why start removing your stuff? and your better stuff at that...?  Don't you still get $ from it?  Wasn't all of his things either, just some of them. Some of the nicer ones, but maybe not all at once I guess....  Skywyrm's still there tho

    Tossed a message but I'm not expecting a response back;  unless vendors do decide what goes on Clearance and not the site itself.  Times like this I hate "exclusives" since once they go down there, they're gone forever.

    I believe the 3D world is secretly running out of polygon particles (or “Polygonicles” to use the correct term)... but that’s not relevant to this...well it is, but not completely relevant. Older polygonicles are probably less valuable then freshly mined ones.

    The models also could be reaching their expiration date... nobody likes having rotting polygonicles in their inventory, so they are trying to get rid of them before the go bad... you should probably use those as soon as possible.

    Or perhaps Swidhelm only made a certain number units and they were collecting dust on the shelves and Rendo wanted to make space for newer less dusty stuff... you should check your downloaded items for water damage or mouse droppings.

    So I just did a little experiment... I deleted all my cookies, put the iPad into Block All Wookies mode (yes, I accidentally wrote Wookies, but I’m leaving it)... went to Safari and went to The Commons, went back and turned on Cookies and signed in to DAZ’s forums... 

    Besides DAZ, there are cookies for... tenor, tumblr, payments-amazon, googletagmanager, facebook, youtube, ajaxgoogleapis, google-analytics, gstatic, googleleadservices, deviantart, bing, bpblogspot, fontsgoogleapis, newsarama, ytimg, flowergame, And dragcave...

    WTF is flowergame and dragcave?... 

    The last one sounds like a meeting place for prehistoric cross dressers...

    12.8 mb of data, just to visit this one page.

    EDITED TO ADD... So I looked those up... that’s Dragon Cave and Flower Game... I guess those are the things I see in people’s signature spaces...

    Previously just visiting DAZ in the same manner with “Block Third Party Cookies” turned on would have only loaded five or six cookies... I think only three of those were related to DAZ.

     

    Thanks.

    del cookies trepidatiously, but bookmarks still there. smiley

    saw i have an ap for human to cat speech. surprise

    Earth cats or is it a Meowian translator? I wouldn’t trust a human made Meowian app... Too much room for unpleasant misunderstandings... like for instance, the difference between “meow” and “meow” can be either an acknowledgement... a sort of greeting or a really vulgar insult about one’s entire clan... humans are very bad at any of dialects of Meow...  besides, most Meowians speak most human languages.

    I tried to access the Daz 3D website using my tablet but the tablet says no internet connection is available.  I guess the wifi driver is buggy or slow.

    I have a problem.  I signed up to do a post card exchange and ordered a bunch of blank postcards to create beautiful art with them, but the issue is that I am apparently not allowed to have them for some odd reason.  I wonder what would happen if my father tries to send me a birthday present for my birthday next month.  I thought things were getting better here with the new house lady.  Well it is but I am still not allowed to do anything fun apparently.  I am supposed to only clean.  The enviroment is better but the only thing I am allowed to do is clean.

    Well, let's see...I think we bought it before we moved to this house, or if not, pretty close to when we first moved here.  That was Nov. 2001.  It's pretty sturdy, yes, and long lasting.

    Non-complaint: Music to DAZ by.  Tonight's musical non-complaint features music by the composer Aram Khachaturianhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aram_Khachaturian

    Three of his best known short pieces.  And I suspect that many of you have heard these or parts of these short works somewhere. 

    1) "Masquerade" from his suite accompaning the play of the same name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NTdPMRhKXI *

    2) "Sabre Dance" from his ballet Gayane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUQHGpxrz-8

    3) "Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia" from his ballet "Spartacus": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZLMKkEGFRo

     

    * "Masquerade" kind of reminds me of that scene in the Tom Cruise movie "Legend" where the girl is seduced by the big horned red devil into dancing with the black dress.  Or of course it also reminds me of the masquerade scene in the 1989 movie or play "Phantom of the Opera" (not the same music of course in either of those examples but the mental image is similar)

    Well, I believe that Renderosity may decide on that, especially if an item is not selling well.  But I'm not positive if that's the case all the time.  I also believe it happens here.  That's why I suggested contacting the vendor.  Sometimes they'll give it to you for cheap, or even free.  Not always, of course.

    Rendo puts any product in clearance that doesn't sell during a certain period. I *think* it was something like six months? There are rules about a vendor being able to bring back deleted product if they're an exclusive vendor, but otherwise it's gone if it doesn't make any sales. Doesn't matter how good the product is.

    Hi, btw. Was just lurking a bit.

    Minor'ish complaint:  I felt like trying to get Halo Wars 2 to play on my computer.  It runs sure.... But the framerate in-game is horrible. I get at most 5 to 7 frames a second during smaller battles and there's a load of stuttering, and this is at minimum graphics.  Oh well, I can still play it on the Xbox at least ^^

    Been saving up for a new computer though, hope to have it in a few months if all goes well.

     

    Second complaint is iTunes is whining about me needing to "upgrade my OS" to change my account info on my Win7 laptop, so I can't access some of the songs and tv shows I have because I can't tell it to access undownloaded or hidden stuff.  Meh.  At least I can still do so on my other laptop.

    As far as I know yes, Swidhelm's stuff is only on Renderosity.  I know Dinoraul sort of is half and half, with some of his stuff on Renderosity and some here,  but Swidhelm I don't think has a store here at DAZ and I've not seen his content elsewhere.

    I am trying to find a new case for my iPad, but the internet connection is acting up so when browsing amazon it shows no pictures.  I saw one earlier that I thought I might like but now having difficulty finding it.

    A complaint topic for people who are absentminded.  That’s right up my alley.

    Just the other day I was complaining about...

    ...Well I have forgotten.

    But the point is...  The point is... 

    I’ve forgotten the point.

    What forum is this?

    Is it the one for car desks?  I’ve always thought having a desk inside my car would be a great idea.  Unfortunately, auto desk prices are out of my tax bracket.

    I remember now.  I was complaining about-- prices.  I can understand if Mayan decor might be expensive.   But why would 3DS “Max Headroom” re-runs be so expensive?  Are they Beta-Max tapes?  What does any of that have to do with having an autodesk installed in my minivan?

    In conclusion, I wish to complain about pet dander.  It can cause allergies.  Allergy medicine can cause absentmindedness, disorientation, and in rare cases-- irreparable brain damage.

    Sincerely;
    Uhm... I have forgotten my name.  What was this topic about again?
