I immediately skip any games that are described as "roguelike" or "soulslike"

They seem so popular, dozens of games coming out, and reviews often positive.

But

When I see "Roguelike" I imagine a game that's too small to be a real game, so they made it so you can never win and just have to keep trying and you'll get a decent number of hours out of it. With just enough progression each time that you start to believe it's possible you'll get somewhere meaningful.

When I see "Souls-like" I think of a game where the difficulty is only there to give people with too much time on their hands a sense of superiority.

I have roughly a thousand games in my various libraries and I have never played a game in either of these genres.

I feel fine being so unreasonable about this.

How often do you fluff your pillows?

As a moderately broad shouldered guy who prefers side sleeping, I need robust pillow support.

I find that no pillow I buy, at any price, will last more than six months before its going flat every night.

Am I upset about about something that's perfectly normal here?

Like the "normal amount of toilet roll," I feel like this is one of those things that we never know what is normal for others.
