  1. Jason

    What's the difference between a roguelite and a roguelite?

  2. Mikael

    Oh, I've known this.

    Anyone in chat know?

    Yeah.

    I think it's something to do with... Oh, shit.

  4. Mikael

    than there are rogue lights, right?

    I think rogue lights are designed to be very short for possession.

    So you just die more often.

    And if you are good, you can reach the end of the game within like an hour or two.

    yeah.

    Is a Nuzlocke, like, a... Is every roguelike

  4. Mikael

    a Nuzlocke then?

    Yeah, actually, it would be, because you don't get to keep anything.

    No Pokemon, no items, no nothing.

    Just be Nuzlocke.

    I should do more.

    I've tried a few in my life.

    I should do more.
