Works fine on my pixel

This was all a scheme to get us to like her post...

Happy to say I finally own one now. I can do a lot of fun stuff with it. I even got Unity to work with it and have been busy developing a prototype for it, in addition to running unsigned code with alpha builds, beta builds of 360 titles, I even have a conversion tool that can convert final xex files to dev from retail. If I REALLY wanted to, I could get on Xbox Live with this thing, it requires jumping through a few hoops since this system was meant to connect to Partnernet originally, but Partnernet shut down in 2013.

But yeah, this is what I've been spending most of my free time doing to anyone who cares. I've wanted to get one of these guys since the 7th gen era when the 360 was a current gen console. Well better late than never. This system was manufactured on July 10th, 2009 so its a Jasper, and I bought it just last month. So its not likely for it to red ring. Its the real deal as its never been tampered with. Comes with a 120GB HDD inside the sidecar (the grey thing on top of it) and it gives me the ability to have DVD Emulation in addition to using the PIX editor since it has 2 ports for that on the sidecar.

Anyway that's it.

I remember being in high school and wanting one of these. That's pretty neat.

Can't you do all these things with a stock Xbox One X, though? They have dev mode you can buy and run dev games and such.

Didn't watch. I don't like either of them and I'm voting third party just like last time (currently favoring Jasmine Sherman). Not that it matters, really. Missouri is a conservative lock pretty much.

Matters, your vote matters. There's a common electoral technique, push random candidates to draw votes from the main candidates by having somewhat similar position or even similar names. When voting, you should consider your candidate's political career. Did they appear from nowhere, or did they have some smaller positions, local positions like for example, on level of town, and what were their position and result of their politics? Never will the people who come out from nowhere will bring any good, they either are already someone's pawns or, if they don't have any position, they will get easily manipulated by others.

I'm voting on policy I agree with IDK. They have policies I like and so I'll vote for them.

I’ve been obsessed with the “I saw The TV Glow” soundtrack: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_luOtidpLfUDP2a4DALUPUjTecQcIFRZsQ&si=QIeva4CCiAzSU6X3

Holy shit E. Amazing art.

So were having coups too right?

Yes.

It will NOT be implemented right at the start, because I'm prioritizing basic features first. Coup will be part of a quest to get the item that enables it for you. You can use that item to control:

- Role (badge next to your name)
- Rank / prefix (appears under your name)
- Accent color (color of your nameplate)
- Accent color glow (true / false) (surrounds entire post in your color)
- Nameplate (uploaded file)
- Post text color

Coup will not let you execute your own CSS. It's more like inserting overriding values if that makes sense (it's safer). The item will have a switch that will turn the feature on and off for you. When off, you won't see anyone's Coup settings or your own, but users who have theirs on will still see your values (if that makes sense).

Obviously there will be rules about not impersonating staff, etc.

Can we suggest trophies / achievements for v3?

Yes. Please do. Nameplates will be a thing and I'm also introducing an inventory, which will house all your items (which can be both sentimental / rare shit as well as functional, like an inventory item to create user invitations).

We will eventually have quests too (similar to achievements).

Sent a small amount. No need to repay me. Please pay it forward by being excellent to yourself and your family.

You have saved me from the ravages of debt, and I am forever thankful for that. Truly the kind and gracious overlord Sep7 needs. I will pay you back regardless at some point though because being in someone's debt just feels wrong to me.

Not needed. You're not in my debt; it's basically nobody's fault that for some reason society requires people to have money to exist. Just be excellent

You mean the email that shows on our profile summary right?

Whatever shows up here: http://sep7agon.net/profile/?area=account

Hey y'all. While the new site is NOWHERE near ready to show off, it's reaching a point where I have a majority of the user account stuff actually working (both front and back). Because of this, I do anticipate getting to the invitation system in the next few weeks.

The invite system is new and is essentially a guard against bots / bad actors by requiring an existing user to vouch for a new user via an invitation (tied to email). Everyone here will be invited and will be given a unique "Original" role that nobody else that registers on the new site once it launches will get. Y'all are gonna be special.

But the invitations work via a whitelist / allowlist of emails, and those emails will be pulled from THIS database. You'll need to register again, but you can only do so if your email matches one on the list.



Not on the list? Get bent.

So if you have any interest at all in joining v3, make sure your email is correct and current. Like... do that this week if you can.

Quick update: took a couple week break from working on the site to stand up my personal website to try to get more side-gigs. It had the added benefit of making me slightly better at Angular so there's that.

Authentication system is entirely setup now (front and back) with the exception of password recovery, password changing, and email changing.

I guess I never announced this, but registration requires an invitation. The idea is that users can invite other users (which is the only way you can create an account). Users who are new (30 days or less) who get moderated will have an upward effect to the user who invited them. They will likely rank down and will have all their invites removed and will not be able to create a new invitation for x days (thinking probably a 2 week ban on this).

On the flipside, the carrot is that there will be quests / rare items like nameplates and special ranks / roles dedicated to getting x number of new users registered and in good standing for 30 days. Ex: I'm thinking of making a role like "Paragon" or something that, among other things, requires recruiting 5 people (and anyone who gets moderated within 30 days subtracts from that total).

Basically: recruitment will be baked into the entire system and incentivized.

aw, we're getting rid of the number?

.net because its short and that's what it was all these years.

Yes. I plan to run the two concurrently during the transition period and then once this place closes, sep7agon.net will redirect to wherever the new site lives.

We need a 10 Years of Sep7agon celebration, Cheat

Will v3 suffice?

No Print Button detected

Sep7 enshittening 

It'll be there as a trophy / inventory item for original members. The memes must live on.

but rather than try to wait for everything to be ready, my new plan is to get the basics (auth, bare-bones user stuff like pw / email resets, thread creation, replies, post editing, etc.) and then add in the missing pieces as I go. This will mean the 3.0 site will launch without stuff like PMs, Coup, administrator tools, private groups, etc. BUT it will also mean users can be hands-on ASAP.

I am surprised nobody done a joke about a "Print" button being an essential feature that should be added ASAP yet.

No cap: I planned to have that be the inventory item all the old school users get that unlocks the “Original” role if they register.
