Welcome to the loneliest thread ever… (or maybe not)

I would like to know one other thing though, does the $800 NFP do anything that a 3D figure exported from DAZ Studio cannot, except that the one created in Studio can look exactly how we want, including being male, and cost about a tenth of that to assemble? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but you keep mentioning it can be used in Unity, Unreal Engine, and for streaming animations, all of which I believe Studio figures can also be exported to do.

the only thing dropping in front of my monitor is my jaw 

I don't mean that in a good way either

Dunno about anyone else, but I use real money, not fantasy stuff.

Time to revise the prices in the store...

Can I pay directly from my mountebank account?

Oh, I thought the thread title was refering to Daz dropping this madness completely - as in "hurry, sale ends soon - once they're gone, they're gone - last chance to...etc."

 

At least I can still wish on a star.

At one time I thought ppl cared about the planet and they were pushing to save it and the future of the panet but that all seems to have been just a  beautiful dream.

If you can invest in "Saving the planet" and make money with it, then it is being pushed by the investors.

But I think what the poster before really meant was that earlier times were less complicated than they are today, and I guess I agree with that, in a lot of matters at least. Seeing how my old parents struggle to keep up with the development of IT, I'm thinking: THEIR parents didn't have to stomach such immense changes on their last leg, did they? No wonder older people find it hard to keep up. Gee, I find it hard myself. It's like we're all driving our cars real fast, and our brains are just not made to keep up with that kind of speed. I understand the longing for some kind of breathing space, some rest, some TIME to think it all through, or maybe just lay on the grass for a little while and look up at some clouds. Can't you? Maybe some more of that could serve to prevent ideas like NFTs from spreading too widely ...

I think the biggest problem with the "modern" world, is the growing notion of making money out of nothing, instead of people working for a living = making something worth the effort, instead of playing with Monopoly money.

I can now honestly say that I truly regret every cent I've ever spent at DAZ.

Helping to pave this road, even just a little bit?

Makes me sick.

That's why the Metaverse is coming, so all the peeps can log in there and die of hunger and thirst while their clothes are full of their own excrements because they forgot to live. I have to reevaluate my opinion about Zuckerberg; maybe his goal is, in the end, a good one, getting rid of all those peeps.

The funny thing is that humans weren't the first to do that... 250,000 years ago and 175,000 light years away a group of entrepreneurs sold the naming rights to our sun to an individual who named it Uncle Schmolrk... so technically we've been inhabitants of Uncle Schmolrkular System from before we even started naming stuff other than "Ungk" and "Grunk".

The only thing I can think of, is secondary market. You will pay that $800 now and in a few weeks or months, you can sell it to some 'investor' for millions.

Yup, reminds me of the finance industry ...

It sounds cheesy as hell but some do still care, you know. Never stop dreaming, right?

well I have finally made the transition from collector and hoarder of 3D assets to rendering 3D assets every day, been flat out trawling through my substantial DAZ library and looking at my DAZ Install Manager thumbnails and realise I never need buy another thing.

just dropped 2KAUD at the veterinarian clinic on my kitty Lucy so there's that too 

thank you DAZ for breaking my addiction with your marketing choices

In 2020 my cat got cancer... that cost $7000 cdn.  He only lived 6 more months.  (Meh.. was gonna spend it on a vacation which was canceled like everything else in 2021.)

so sorry for your loss

I unexpectedly lost my Avatar picture kitty Lynx March 8, very sudden death was fine a minute before 

Lucy needed about 9 teeth extracted I don't know the exact amount, vet says she could lose the rest eventually as cats can get a disease where they rot from the inside and there is no cure, it's quite prevalent.

Imagine cooking the planet faster so you can "own" a picture of a bored ape with a stupid hat.

Madonna has teamed up with Beeple to release a triptych of animation NFTs featuring a naked 3D scan of herself giving birth to a tree, butterflies  and robotic centipedes  

you cannot make this stuff up

Yes but think positive people. 

With the collapse of NFT\Bitcoin, we can finally get GPUs.  Seriously for what I had to pay for my Asus GTX3090 TI last year they should have given me dinner and flowers first.
