One thing that surprised and depressed me about teaching middle-school was realizing that not everyone's parents did this. Most kids couldn't tell me what stuff their parents liked or name any stuff that they had shared. The assumption from parents seemed to be there's no cross-generational art

Porting teaching engine over to #raylib has been very pleasant

yes! Have this talk each semester with students. I get the allure tho. I think it persists because gamer have so few deep interactions with other media (just go dancing!). Games have probably heightened my awareness of interacting with books/film tho

it's painful and ironic how incapable programmers seem to be about thinking systemically, plus they don't seem to care about or know any history at all

He's kinda the perfect foil to Goku because they're both big doofus babies, but Goku just happens to be a perfect angel. Buu arc is kinda hard for me to enjoy just because it's very long and very dour, even tho there's no such thing as consequences really in DBZ

ha, bringing up NES games just illustrated my point to myself, because I really haven't played many of them and wouldn't have even thought of any of those as an example of permadeath

But I think the annoyance at roguelikes is just a lot of people who don't necessarily have experience with arcade games, so the idea of permadeath doesn't trace back further than Spelunky (and even Spelunky is too far back for a lot of people)

I think use of Rogue is apt because the inspiration was really explicit for Spelunky which really kicked off the trend, and usually the technique functions more like Rogue than an arcade game. Tho I have heard plenty of people say AoF is a rogue-like because its got proc-gen (it isn't!)
