How I understand the main difference between Rogue Like vs Rogue Lite: Rogue Like = When you die/lose/game over, you start over COMPLETELY. AKA, Permadeath. You don't keep any items or money or XP etc. Think FTL or Binding of Isaac. Rogue Lite = You generally keep some things when you fail. In Hades, you keep your darkness, gems, diamonds, ambrosia etc, while losing gold and boons.
@IAMDRMERVRENBARRON3 жыл бұрын
Rogue-likes are games like the original 1980 Rogue game. the original dungeon crawler style game. Such as Hack and Moria from the same era, and more recently, titles like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Rogue-Lites are pretty much anything else that spawned off the permadeath, normally randomised layout mechanic, and then later expanded into semi-permadeath like Hades shows, or Sunless Sea/Skies, to even management like games such as Cultist Simulator. It's like how early FPS games were called Doom-Clones until it became a semi obsolete term now somewhat replaced recently by the term "boomer shooter", which is looser than the original, but still helps describe the general feel that's expected. Most of the Like vs Lite argument is really over how similar the title is to the the 1980 Rogue title it should be for the "Like" suffix to apply. And it doesn't help that they're barely distinguishable between each other when spoken in my accent.
@axelolord3 жыл бұрын
FTL and BoI are rogueLITEs too, not roguelikes. The distinction is much easier to underatand if you think of one distinction- roguelites have meta progression. It might be with metacurrency like in Hades, it might be with progress unlocks like BoI. Roguelikes are ALWAYS the same. You could start a fresh copy of a game or one with 1000hrs game time and the game balance and chances will be exactly the same, only thing that affects gameplay is likes is skill and experience.

@CadoonTube3 жыл бұрын
I'd say FTL and Binding of Isaac kinda skirt the line though, as you unlock more items and levels/content permanently even after losing a run. You don't start the run with better items, sure, but in the case of isaac you have greater potential for stronger runs and unlock stronger characters the more you play, and even permanently get a D6 for Isaac at a point. For FTL you get different starting ships and potential events, which is harder to say is a straight upgrade, but still muddies it a bit from being a pure rogue like.

To explain the difference between Rogue-like and Rogue-lite, it has nothing to do with turn based vs real time. A Rogue-lite game has progressive upgrades the carry between runs eg the mirror of darkness in Hades. Rogue-like games have you start from scratch each time you start a run, for example The Binding of Isaac falls under this category.

I know 6 months old post but more for people who are responding later. Greg is referring to the original definition of roguelike where it does require it to be turn based. (Rogue, nethack, ADoM, DCSS, ToMe, etc..). Everything in the game updates at the same time. If you move, every enemy moves/attacks/etc... Things were broken down by time/turn. So if you move and that action takes 5 turns and an enemy can attack every 1 turn then you would get hit 5 times every time you moved. The idea is you should be able to sit back and take as much time as you need to figure out how to get out of the situation you're in. Most ARE permadeath but it's not a requirement (Elona for example does not have permadeath). Of course most people don't know this anymore and that's fine words change. The issue I have is if you look up roguelikes you're going to get only games of the modern definition. There's no way to lookup games that follow the old definition and there are no other words we have for it. So unless you know the game exist you won't find it. This is a huge issue because it's a genre that is still very much played and new games are coming out every year or being updated that no one will hear about it because there's no way to look up games in the genre.

You can be using music to set the mood of your drinks so much, and it seems like instead of putting any effort into your sound production you just copy-paste Savoy Special and drag it across a half-hour or whatever time.

I was looking at the pretty bows on those bottles, wondering who tied them, or if they were pre-tied when you bought them. And then you surprised me by talking about all the time and effort you put into making them. I'm impressed and proud of you! No, for real, I'm not kidding. I can't tie a nice bow to save my life, so I can only imagine how much time and frustration it would have taken me to make those. Just wanted to say, your work on the little details does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you.

Bumbu Rum has a creme version that is basically like rumchata mixed with irish cream liquor. Just that over ice is pretty great. It's got some great vanilla flavors and a bit of muted spice notes hiding amongst the cream. The disturbing thing is that the alcohol presence doesn't really change much if you add in almost an equal part of a proofier rum. Anyway, Bumbu Creme with a coffee liquor, some chocolate bitters, and a twist of orange would be great. Not exactly low-proof, but you don't need to drink a whole lot of it to experience the flavors. I think that's actually more important than finding drinks that border on mocktails. An alternative would be to get a nut-milk bag and make a milk clarified punch of some description. There's plenty of recipes on youtube for making various milk clarified punches, along with tips and tricks for tuning the milk clarification process.

It's ridiculous. The amount of tonka bean a person would have to eat to reach toxic levels is roughly the same as for many other spices, like nutmeg, and vastly exceeds the amount one would actually have in a dish. It's not just tonka bean, either. There are other culinary delights that have to be swapped out for less-delightful alternatives because, like tonka beans, they also contain coumarin.

The liver doesn't clear coumarin, so there's sort of a lifetime limit before the liver gives out. Problem is we don't do real math on these in the US, and it likely errs greatly to the cautious side. Nevermind cinnamon, which has a tiny tiny amount of coumarin, but is a lifetime staple for many Americans, included in so many of our favorite foods. So many. It would be interesting to know the real numbers and the real thresholds and the lifetime risk across the various sources like Tonka beans.

As one Tonka-bean has about 1,5g and roughly contains 3% Cumarin, you get about 50mg, if you have one bean per day. So even for most females, that is considered harmless.

Hey Greg, red wine doesn't go with fish because it is generally higher in tannins and fish is high in oil. Consequently these two components react with each other and will create a metallic taste. That being said if the red wine doesn't seem to be high in tannins (the level of drying out and gritty mouthfeel in red wine is a good indicator, if it's very high tannin you can even feel it on your teeth!) and it's a less oily fish you should be fine :)

@@nullvoid8663 Neither one of those defines what a furry fan is. Furries are simply folks who enjoy anthropomorphic animal characters on a deeper level than the typical person would. Some do suit up, and some go to conventions, but many do neither. Decent-quality fursuits are hecking expensive (think $1,000 or so for a basic model). Many furries have no interest in them -- including me, as I wouldn't be able to wear one even if I could afford it. I do appreciate the work and artistry that goes into them, though. While I've been to (and helped run) furry conventions, my typical experience has been having a good time chilling out with friends I can normally only interact with online, and enjoy furry-specific material, mostly related to various takes in art (drawings, animation, crafting, etc). Again, there are many furries who have zero interest in such things.

Diablo 1 was initially heavily inspired by Rogue and a lot of the genre's classics, like Nethack and Angband. It was initially turn based. Took 'em a few months to switch over to a real time engine. You can still see the Rogue influences though - random item modifiers, the need to identify items, random level generation, hardcore mode, and just how flexible build-wise the classes were in the original game. It was basically a roguelite before that was a common term.
