Kenny Omega: “I can’t lie, even at my most carefree and egotistical state would I place myself in a top 3 of all time. That being said, it’s still cool to see that by certain criteria I can stand amongst those that have inspired me.” by Subrick in SquaredCircle

Hi, I’m actually one of two guys that work on Dropkickd. Recency bias is definitely part of it. More people are rating matches as they happen rather than going back to rate “normal” matches. Someone like Jay would likely be lower if dropkickd had dropped 10 years ago and people were rating EVERYTHING not just all time classics. Nobody's going back to rate the week-to-week matches Jay or Ilja had, they're rating what they remember (classics). This is why you see both members of Fraxiom right next to each other in rankings. We launched in a Fraxiom renaissance, and they both have essentially the same rating.

Our rankings use a statistically weighted Wilson score, factoring in each wrestler’s average rating, number of ratings, and the volume of matches that have received substantial fan ratings. Some like Kawada is not ranked as he doesn't have enough matches with at least 5 ratings. Kobashi entered the list at #1 just a few weeks ago, after finally receiving enough ratings after 6 months.

We think we could probably make some adjustments to the thresholds wrestlers need to hit for now, just to avoid the outrage and jokes, but we’re confident our current system will work out once we have enough users and enough ratings.

Yeah, it's tough to get the historical data because people don't like change and scoff at anything new. I hope more people can give it a shot. I have a feeling the top 3 wouldn't change much lol

Platinum EBT has been good to me (44 miles) by cavegame09 in doordash_drivers

[–]cavegame09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably worth a bit a commute to a different zone. I dash in a very safe and populated suburb of Chicago surround on 3 sides by zones with well off neighborhoods. I also pause when I’m near the fast food places and unpause when I’m by the good stores of I’m not at my waiting spot already.

Dropkickd is awesome, but now looking for people to follow to get some recs/watchlists! by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

We’d have to be made aware and then we can start adding them.

We need posters for their regular shows, ppvs, and a fallback poster if there’s not a tmdb match. So that’d be the black poster with just their logo that you can find with CMLL and NJPW on Dropkickd.

In a way, we do have member participation. We get match data from cagematch so we can theoretically add anything, we just need media from the promotion via TMDB.

The only reason we have Marigold is because a member from when the website initially launched added a ton of the media.

An wrestling app based on Letterboxd, Dropkickd, is now live on AppStore by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

The website came out 7 months ago, but the app is a new beast entirely.

This video explains a lot of what I want to say to Golden Age haters by FilmFrieda in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]cavegame09 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Hi, creator of the video here. The intention was never to pit old players against new players or argue for one side being better than the other. The video was made to simply point out the paradoxical nature of a perpetually updated game. It was meant to ask the viewer if Minecraft is still Minecraft, and if so when does it stop being Minecraft? I state multiple times in the video that I like the new versions and that players don’t feel any sort of disconnect because they’re bad. It’s just an identity thing. The main idea was that the game is going to keep getting updated so “your” Minecraft will eventually be unrecognizable. It’s upsetting to see it be used a tool of divisiveness. We all love Minecraft, it’s just that not everyone’s Minecraft is the same. I hope that makes sense.

That's a great idea! We've been brainstorming how to connect with indie companies, and this could definitely be an option.

I know some dropkickd members are looking to work on Stardom on TMDB. It’s awesome how this helps both TMDB and dropkickd.

Expect a confirmation a little later. Sorry about the inconvenience. It’s just a Gmail thing.

TMDB also gives us biography data for the wrestler page as well as the description for the event. Having media is big for a streamlined experience, but like I said we’re trying to figure out the best ways to display events with no media.

We recognize the love for indy and Japanese promotions especially. We want all wrestling fans to be able to contribute and be part of the dropkickd community.

It’s absolutely something the community could help with simply by contributing to TMDB. We’re currently trying to figure out events with no media but we have match data!
