"Roguelike" or "Rogue-lite"

These days, it doesn't matter how good a game looks otherwise, I'm to the point now where if I'm reading the description of a game and I see the phrases "Roguelike"[1] or "Rogue-lite" showing up prominently in that description, that's the point at which I immediately nope out entirely.

And it's getting close to that point with the "Souls-like" descriptor as well.

[1] - And yeah, my opinion of the term is roughly the same now as it was then. I don't necessarily hate it on its own merits, per se, in the increasingly very rare circumstances in which it is used appropriately, but I do hate how utterly overused it has become, to the point that the term essentially has no useful meaning now.

Yeah, sure, Hogwarts Legacy looks cool, but...

...you know... J.K. Rowling and all that.

Also...

...you know... Denuvo and all that.

In other words, this, again.

"Trump files lawsuit against Clinton, Democrats for Russia claims"

I really, truly hope this bites Dumbfuck Jackass in his dumbfuck jackass so hard. There's a lot there to bite, after all. He should have left it alone. He really should have left it alone. Now every bit of the prodigious amount of evidence that he actually did the thing he is suing to prove he didn't do is all going to come rushing back into the spotlight again, or so I fervently hope. And this time, he doesn't have the status of SCROTUS or his bootlickers in the Senate to ignore all of that evidence and cover for him again.

I might be and probably am being far too optimistic here. It's almost assuredly going to come to nothing at all whatsoever, same as every other time the possibility has come up that Trump/Russia might finally see some actual consequences.

"Trump ordered to pay nearly $1 million for "frivolous" lawsuit, drops another suit soon after"

Ha ha, eat shit, you orange fuck.
