    So get your shit straight: roguelikes are dungeon crawlers from which the ability to save (or, to be more precise, the ability to continue from a particular save point more than once) has been REMOVED, thereby arcade-izing the genre — but this doesn't mean that any genre from which saving has been removed is a roguelike; it's just a genre which has come closer to arcade (or early-console...) design sensibilities. What the fagots are basically doing here is the equivalent of looking up the definition of, say wolf on Wikipedia ("the largest wild member of the Canidae family of carnivorous and omnivorous mammals"), and then coming out and saying that, because piranhas for example are carnivorous, they are a subspecies of wolves — wolf-fish, perhaps, a "fishy" variation of a wolf, a fish with "wolfish elements". But a wolf is A MAMMAL, fagots, whilst a pirhanha is A FISH — you can't wrench a subspecies out of its species and arbitrarily pick out some of its characteristics (and moreover subsidiary characteristics...) and use them as an excuse to insert it into ANOTHER FUCKING SPECIES for christsake. How can I explain this elementary concept to you more plainly?
    ...

    ......

    "You shall look up "wolf" on wiki!  You shall look up "wolf" on wiki!"

    "Well, we don't have many wolves here."

    "Well, in Michigan we have quite a few.  A wolf is exactly what you would think it is, the largest wild member of the Canidae family."

    "Those wolves that were piranha wolves couldn't out-mammal a real wolf!"
    "Why?"
    "It was piranha-proof!"
    "How?"
    "It was three species high!"

    "The same thing is going to happen to roguelikes, and one of these days a gamer from Michigan's gonna go back home and look up wolf on wiki! look up wolf on wiki!"

    ...wait, were we talking about roguelikes?
