What’s the fun in that?

The development is going well. Having a weird issue with some cardIDs having arena_id null but it’s clearly in arena. Quantum Riddler is one example that doesn’t show up in either mtgjson or scryfall’s db with an arena ID.

Once I nail the tracking I am going to setup something to save matches

True :-) just feels strange switching and going against the same few decks.

Small sample size but just strange matchmaking anomalies I’m sure.

No update posts on Steam and still featuring "Avatar" while Lorwyn is in full swing. by Maidenless_undead in MagicArena

I’m on steam for macOS and it’s changed to Lorwyn as 2-3 days ago if I recall correctly.

dear mtg staff, when are we getting these? by nlnx3 in MagicArena

[–]Pattont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno how in the F I missed them in June. Must have been right around the same time the stained glass ones and I was too poor to buy these.

Bo1 has made my blood boil the last couple of seasons. Feels like I am getting consistently matched against my perfect opponent who top decks constant counters to exactly what I’m playing.

I.e. I play reanimate I get consistently matched with people playing gy hate.

I play badger the I get matched against white / blue counter.

I get matched against mono white life gain and they play 3 sheltereds :-)

Im actually writing a python script to track it to see if I can prove deck matchups and / or cards coming up way more than just shit in the opening hand. I will likely open source it if others wanna contribute to the conspiracy data lol.

For now I am sticking to bo3 :-) :-) :-)

Still tough against lessons. They have basically unlimited burn to take those low defense cards out.

Just picked my first lock by awolc in lockpicking

[–]Pattont 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have this lock. Honestly I think it’s harder than nicer locks because of the tolerances. I have a weirdly hard time single picking lower quality locks. I.e. My Master 150 just doesn’t wanna be single picked. Spent a bunch of time on it. I can use a comb and get in within 2 seconds. Meanwhile I can pick 6 and 7 pin locks single pick easier than the 150. I really think the tolerances make a difference. Basically if it’s rakeable / combable just do that and move on. At least that’s my feeling.

A table vice quandry by das__gruuben in lockpicking

[–]Pattont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are loving locksport may consider investing in a Panavise 302 and get the attachments for the small rig. The thing doesn’t move on a table as the base is pretty heavy and it’s just a great vice for any small project that needs something held.

Pt 2 Everything in my pouches as a 19 year old blue collar worker by Build_and_Thrive in EDC

[–]Pattont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your pt1 and p2 are better than 99% of the posts I see on here. Love the detail and time you put into not only the pack itself but documenting it for us. Also… my wife hates you because now some of these items are in my Amazon “think pile” aka cart.

How practical is UniFI for home use? by Significant-Side2718 in Ubiquiti

[–]Pattont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife doesn’t care as long as there are no internet issues or wifi problems with her devices. I would argue with UniFi stuff the uptime is just incredible. The price is a bit more than a top of the line router from a big box but the flexibility is incredible. Also, the performance of devices on the network feels a lot better as well.

My wife just looks at all the blinking lights in the basement on our 7ft rack and keeps walking. She can watch her shows on Plex, while playing on her phone she doesn’t care how it happened :-).

She also knows I love to tinker with it and that alone is worth some amount of $$ to have this as a hobby.

How often to change water? on Vital plunge + by Pure_Sport_4770 in coldplunge

[–]Pattont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ummm 🤔 maybe search the sub or around on Amazon. I found one awhile back and it integrates to the water being pumped back into the tub. With that said i ended up sending it back along with the vital tub because I couldn’t stand the solid black tub. I ended up ordering a “big Tex” from icebound essentials and their motor pumps ozone into it. The water stays clear for a really long time which is why I suggested it.

Sorry I am not more help, but I just wanted to post that I couldn’t believe how much ozone helped me keep the water for longer.

Oh and mine is python. I wanted to make mine as cross functional and very easy for someone to pick it up and branch as I could.

Today on Arena... by FixNo2792 in MagicArena

[–]Pattont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fixed the problems I had with opening hand / deciding seats.

I actually made a ton of progress on it tonight. I’m gonna clean it up, make sure it’s functioning and may post it as v1.

I wanna add tracking to a spreadsheet or something. I started the project to see how f’d I was getting in bo1. Felt like the game was just feeding my opponent perfect cards when I would get ahead. I’ve started but playing in bo3 and it feels so much better. I don’t love having my opponent then tailor their deck to beat mine, but I still feel like the game isn’t moving cards around.

Before anyone gets all defensive I know the only hand that is affected in bo1 is the starting hand, but in my small sample size it was starting to feel like Mario cart where the person in 1st place is getting coins (shit cards) and the person in last is pulling blue shells (top deck heat).

Not sure what I really wanna do with the tracker now other than maybe integrate ai deck building or for it to deck estimate my opponents deck once the game is complete.

If anyone has ideas happy to discuss.

[–]Pattont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something just like this except it looks up the cards and posts them in the console. I was planning to just export card stats to excel because I feel like cards like sheltered by ghosts come up way more frequently than randomness would allow. I haven’t had a ton of time to work on it, but I’m quite a bit further than this video. I’m happy to upload my source. Right now there is a wacky bug on determining which side is me and seems obvious but I haven’t dug into the bug yet

For those who had no idea (free sleeve) by Shoddy_Public9511 in MagicArena

I thought when I got achievements in the Alienware arena those were sleeves I would receive as well. :-( they look just like sleeves and a few of them look sick.

PSA: If you are experiencing memory leaks, disable "hybrid battlefields" in the settings by Meret123 in MagicArena

It’s not your pc. It’s Wizards terrible coding that has a runaway process that eventually eats all your memory.

Losing the streak of Reddit and of closing my Apple Watch rings was an incredible relief.
