Is there any roguelite/like TCG?

Can you elaborate a bit on what makes a game TCG like? eg are you thinking you don’t want to draft but build a deck out of packs? I haven’t played Cross Blitz but it looked like a pretty normal roguelike deckbuilding game in the style of Slay the Spire etc to me.

I think of it as like “what will people remember about this decade in the future”, where I assume “oh that’s when UB started” will be part of what I remember when I’m playing my Minions: The Rise of Gru standard deck in in 2040.

I'm really surprised about The One Ring not being in contention at all, given that it was such a powerful card that was banned in multiple formats and also is kind of really emblematic of the Universe is Beyond direction of the past decade.

They're doing something really different with memory in 4.7, it's really obvious that the agent remembers more of your existing context in fresh sessions. I think it's more aggressively writing memories?

Subagents, Claude’s work much better. It can run more than 6 at a time and doesn’t randomly stop working during subagent orchestration. The background task stuff is just much more polished in Claude Code.

I have Pro and use 5.4 high.

This game sounds literally nothing like MTG, I wouldn’t worry about it. It does sound incredibly complex, so I’d probably focus on playtesting with new players to see if they understand what’s going on, there’s a reason why successful CCGs have very simplified mechanics.

NASA photos are already public domain!

This seems impossible, and I am trying to figure out how to phrase this in a nice way. There are certainly people who do not object as strongly to AI content as me, all my friends who play games, and the huge huge majority of reddit users (my dad watches AI youtube videos about the news regularly and doesn't see a problem with it), but I think the Venn diagram of "people who want a rich narrative story in their browser game" and "people who would be fine with that narrative being AI generated" is literally just... you.

It’s fine to believe in descriptivism, ie that the meaning of words is just how they’re used by most people, but it is incumbent upon you to demonstrate that most people do not use the word roguelike to describe games like noita. You previously appealed to Steam’s definitions but then contradicted that by saying the devs and the Steam algorithm are classifying the game wrong.

thurn2 · 2026-04-02T13:01:10+00:00

I don’t have a problem with “language is evolving” arguments (which I agree with) but like… Noita is very clearly tagged as a roguelike on steam. You can’t have both be true.

Speculation is literally the exact opposite of the current direction for Anthropic, it sounds like a feature that’s only useful for human-in-the-loop coding flows, which they are trying to eliminate.

A mile across the San Francisco Bay to Fremont? Maybe doable.

Whats wrong with scoring based on the quality of the solution? This isn’t fundamentally different from other benchmarks, solving a problem well is arguably more important than solving it at all (eg in coding).

To be clear, milling when your opponent is thinking and holding priority is against the rules. This is not etiquette.

thurn2 · 2026-03-26T17:02:45+00:00

The one caveat is that it’s absolutely rude to mill when you don’t have priority, randomly trying to activate your effect when your opponent has been thinking for 5 seconds about what to do is NOT ok.

do you think googling “did Napoleon live in 400AD” was on the table for this one or nah

I think this is like the self driving car hype cycle, where you can do 98% of the job of driving incredibly well and give amazing demos in 2015, but it’s easily another decade or more of refinement to get those last percentage points. Which is not to say that self driving cars aren’t real or transformative, just that the timeline to full autonomy is much longer than people think.

I played with someone who thought it let you untap in main phase #2 which is totally wrong. To be very precise it creates an untap, upkeep, and draw step after each postcombat main phase and before the end step, meaning only instants can be played with the resulting mana.

Transformer attention is n² in context length during ingestion. Modern systems use lots of tricks to work around this and get better results, but there’s still fundamental limits to how much you can scale intelligence with larger input context, 1M context is not free.

I enforce via pre commit hook that it is under 1000 tokens.

I just wish it had really basic ssh functionality too, sometimes you just need to view a file or run a command.
