One real, actually cool, gamer etymology is that "theory crafting" is originally from teamliquid.net broodwar forums. At the time it was a pejorative, where you would have people criticizing the Korean pros and trying to give advice about their game plans. You would use it for example "They're playing starcraft, but you're playing theorycraft". It eventually transformed into a positive thing that meant doing research about a game, but at first it was purely to call someone an rear end in a top hat.

The casualization of gaming has lead to a whole lot of this bullshit. "Roguelike" used to mean a game that was like the game "Rogue". Then "Roguelites" became a thing - games that were explicitly not like Rogue, but that featured core elements of the Roguelike such as permadeath and randomization. Then a whole lot of people who had never heard of Roguelikes before started playing Roguelites and calling them "Roguelikes". One of the key components of a Roguelite that developed over time is "Metaprogression" - earning unlocks that increase your power or available options between runs. This form of progression had very explicitly never been a thing in Roguelikes, which have largely had a core design philosophy of each run being fully self-contained and having no impact on future runs. All of this culminated earlier this year with Steam running a Roguelike sale. The roguelike sale prominently featured two traditional Roguelikes, a couple dozen Roguelites, and... then Valve made a blog post about how they consider (1) survival games like Minecraft and (2) third-person action combat games like Dark Souls to be Roguelikes because of [absolutely made-up non-sensical reasoning], and the rest of the sale pages were dedicated to those games, which have absolutely nothing in common with Roguelikes. Then Traditional Roguelikes had to start calling themselves things like "Procedural Death Labyrinth" because the actual genre term they had used for themselves for decades was co-opted by people who have never played a traditional roguelike before, who will buy a game tagged as "Traditional Roguelike" and that bills itself as a Traditional Roguelike and then give it a negative review that says "Not sure how this game calls itself a roguelike when it doesn't even have metaprogression, also no one wants to play a turn-based roguelike wtf is this" Now you can view the Roguelike tag on Steam and it literally shows you zero traditional Roguelikes, and the Traditional Roguelike tag is getting better at least, but it used to be full of non-roguelike games. But most frustrating about it is that people who have never played a traditional Roguelike or enjoyed them get very defensive about their use of the term and will justify it in every conceivable way, including saying that the onus is on traditional roguelike fans to come up with a new term for those types of games, instead of just admitting that they're using genre names they don't understand, to the point where they actually drove traditional roguelike fans to hold a conference to write an official document about what a Roguelike is, called the Berlin Interpretation - and then, get this, those same people who co-opted the "Roguelike" term will get mad at people for discussing the Berlin Interpretation or trying to discuss terminology for traditional roguelikes. They'll talk about how "language is fluid" when it only needs to be fluid here because they took a word and used it incorrectly repeatedly and insisted everyone else do the same. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Oct 9, 2022 |

thats not a gaming problem, thats a media classification problem, or meta media problem. books and music have this problem and the answer is always lol nerd shut up genres, supergenres, subgenres are fluid and bleed into each other all the time or something.

The Roguelike thread is fuckin awful because there's a contingent of posters who really don't feel like they've made their opinions on metaprogression clear yet and derail the thread to hash things out again every time a game with or without it gets posted Imagine if this thread gave "but the underlying technology" posters the time of day rather than telling them to piss off
