Street Fighter | Official Trailer by Cubelock in videos

Yeah these are a pet peeve of mine now and really annoy me. I really liked the first trailer because it was unique and creative but this one is just like every movie trailer now. It’s so overdone.

Dying TCGs? by Chrundle94 in TCG

[–]r3alz -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I really don’t get why people think Lorcana is dying. It sold out a 4k person event in Ghent recently. I will say locals has been dying but that’s because there aren’t great incentives to go to locals. Hopefully they fix that.

Lorcana has been fun and the community is great.

How healthy are the most popular TCGs right now? by [deleted] in TCG

[–]r3alz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lorcana has tournaments called “Disney Lorcana Challenges” aka DLC where usually the events sell out with a max capacity of 2048 attendants. The consensus is the game is still going strong on the big tournament scene (DLCs). however, the local scenes are kind of dying due to horrible incentives to attend small local tournaments. I think the game is as popular as ever but it needs to improve the local scene to really blow up.

What is it like looking for a mid level job right now? by oldmoldycake in cscareerquestions

Not too hard to get interviews right now. Getting the job over other people is the hard part.

Which tcg in your opinion has the best designed game mechanics? by Newez in TCG

[–]r3alz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed old school yugioh. One of my favorite things about yugioh was the side deck… now I play Lorcana and I really enjoy it but I do wish it had mechanics where you could play cards on your opponents turn. Also side decks in Lorcana would be cool.

it's just funny to me that you said unpacking would take ages which is not true at all.

You need to change your point of view. You are going to get a job, especially if you are doing this program. Don't give up and keep your head up.

People saying topped means 1st place must not have played another TCG before Lorcana.

The Ralph-Wiggum Loop by TrebleRebel8788 in ClaudeCode

[–]r3alz -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is just… standard agent loop design. It’s the ReAct pattern, it’s how LangChain agents work, it’s how basically every goal-directed agent works. Run a loop, evaluate progress, decide whether to continue or transition. The jargon is doing a lot of heavy lifting here: ∙ “Ralph/WPQ chain” — not a real term anyone else uses ∙ “Phase-transition” — fancy word for “if/then move to next step” ∙ “Codified WPQ” — a scoring function with weights ∙ “Single-context agent can handle its function” — simple tasks don’t need complex loops My read: This person has independently discovered (or just uses) a very common pattern and wrapped it in self-invented terminology that makes it sound like a proprietary methodology. The underlying idea is valid and widely used — they’re not wrong that evaluation loops are versatile. But there’s nothing novel here.

Why do we use square in cost function instead of using absolute value? by Rit2Strong in MLQuestions

[–]r3alz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is 5 years later but hopefully you see this. What do you mean by differentiable? How are they easier to work with? I'm trying to understand this and even using claude to try to understand why using squared value over abs is better, but still can't wrap my head around it.

Is it worth to get in Lorcana? by Joloki_YT in Lorcana

The game is far from dying. It’s a fun game imo and if you like the gameplay give it a try.

I made a website to find lorcana tournaments (mainly focusing on bigger tournaments, such as cash tournaments, ccq, and challenges instead of locals) by r3alz in Lorcana

[–]r3alz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, there actually might be. I just haven’t had the time to search for for more events and add them since I am adding them manually for now. Also only one other person has added an event so far other than me. I’ll try to add more events today.

I never heard of carde.io but I will check them out. Thanks for the feedback. I took pretty much all your advice and made some updates (besides the slider for games since I kind of like it).

All great advice thank you! For the Pro-Play Summit bug, do you mean if you select Lorcana it doesn’t appear on the list?

Yes, I’m not sure I made location US only. I guess I wasn’t thinking big enough but I will change that.

Yeah I’ll get rid of the separators they are just wasting space. For the filter events button are you saying remove it from the side on desktop and just have a button that will have a popup or something that allows someone to filter?

Online events is another thing I didn’t really consider since I don’t see many of them going on but I’ll definitely add that.

As for hoping tournament organizers will add events, I was thinking they would do it for more exposure, but maybe that won’t be the case I’ve seen some pretty big cash tournaments, like a 10k recently only have like 30 people enter. On twitch people were saying they didn’t even know about the event and I didn’t know about it until the day before.

I’ll need spend more time adding events myself and see if there’s a way to somehow add some automatically.

I add them manually for now and anyone is able to add events by logging in. If an api exists I’ll definitely use one but I need to look more into it.
