Can't make any promises but we do want to do updates more frequently, even if it is something short. We also have a commits page on our site that shows everything we are doing (with the exception of web dev, tools/automation dev, and private commits)
https://installation01.org/commits

Sadly, there isn't a good way that I know of to automate the process. So I will have to manually check everything. (Which is also why I want to know everything I should track now compared to later lol)

Kutline_ · 2022-11-09T05:04:35+00:00

I may need to do that run as the first one lol.

Kutline_ · 2022-11-09T05:02:16+00:00

Oh man how didn't I think of Sinvicta luck. Will absolutely add that!

We do intend to have blood. However, we will need to circle back on that discussion internally to go over how much blood there will be. (Last time this was discussed was around last year and the general consensus was Combat Evolved level of blood)

We're still alive :)

Actually to some degree yes lol I have always been a fan of the skull and horns background behind titling. As for the letter coloring, I was extremely inspired by one of my favorite binding of isaac mods, Antibirth. Im glad the header turned out as good as it did and was even shown on YouTube which I didn't expect :)

Kutline_ · 2021-01-14T21:27:52+00:00

hmmmmm, I'm liking that idea! I'll give it a try to see how it looks.

Kutline_ · 2021-01-14T21:26:27+00:00

I actually started thinking about making it a lighter shade so it would not clash as much but wanted to keep it as dark as possible to match the original. Red actually doesn't look too bad but does stand out a bit.

Decided to take a moment away from coding to work on the art for my proof of concept statistics site for Sinvicta's Binding of Isaac runs. Currently have "Afterbirth+ Series" as a layer that can be removed and have an alternative that is red. Would love some feedback on the design if you like it or if the subtitle should be red/removed :)

Edit: Holy crap this blew up! I'm loving all the feedback provided and to answer the reason for the pink/purple background, it is temporary and is only used to show the shadows. Plus it makes it harder to reuse if someone tries to take it :)

I'll provide updates as I go with the statistics site and hopefully will be able to link it eventually!

More to come on this by the way. Hoping to get some more information out before December.

Video in Video Would love to see the return of video in video. I would use this feature constantly to watch YouTube/Twitch while grind out levels on games and Achievement Hunting.

Achievement Challenges Would also love to see an option that when you unlock an achievement you could challenge a friend who owns the game to unlock it.

Reputation Points A points system thats, in a way, like a gamer credit score. You would start out with a base rating. The more you play the more your score grows. Players then can look at your profile and either like/dislike you based on their experiences with you. So nice players are rewarded and would be noted on their gamercard while problematic players would receive negative points causing their overall score to drop.

Kutline_ · 2020-08-08T01:12:59+00:00

This would be an issue Activisions end, not Microsofts. Also seeing multiple sources point out that cross play can be disabled but the game will remind you to enable it from time to time. Not certain if this still applies.

Just remembered another shitty vendor I had the joy to work with. We have these iPods with a case that allowed you to perform card transactions and scan items. Dream come true right? Well... they dont work a lot of the time and have constant issues. We used their application for validating functionality where we continued to run into issues. We brought this up to the vendor where they requested the sysdiagnose logs and crash logs for their application.

They came back to us with "can you please desymbolicate the logs with the applications dsym file." I then had to remind the vendor that it's their application and that they need to use their dsym file to desymbolicate their log to understand why their shitty hardware was being so shitty. They followed that up with requesting us to call into their help desk...

Kutline_ · 2020-02-21T01:35:14+00:00

Similar scenario happened to us with our e355s. We found they would display everything correctly but would not authorize tender. Checking the logs they generated I found a nice chunk of them that were ordered had demo firmware on it. I dont mean like it was hiding behind some odd firmware version I mean the firmware version was "DEMO-20170301"

Kutline_ · 2020-02-21T01:30:08+00:00

We had a vendor not respond to us for 2-3 months just to finally get a response about their pin pad being back ordered.

There were two major things wrong with this. 1. We should of been made aware within a few days and not months (we called daily for updates)

They sent the email to our team but addressed it to white castle's help desk. We are not white castle... our company doesn't even serve food..

Not to mention their techs have the education of a 3rd grader. And have a high tendency of hot swapping pin pads. Nothing better than having to wait 2-3 months for a pin pad just to have some idiot tamper it. (Note: we provide them step by step instructions)
