Nudity, gore, violence - explicit materials. Stuff you wouldn’t be allowed to plaster on a giant billboards in the middle of the city or on the side of your office building or have run on daytime TV in the breakroom. If an image of a clothed female is NSFW then obviously a man wearing nothing but a towel in a shower is as well.
You start making a list of everything everyone takes offence into and finds inappropriate and you end up with a list with literally everything on it. Some people in this thread have used “If I couldn’t use it as a wallpaper at work, it should be NSFW”. Plenty of people would find this picture absolutely disgusting and inappropriate, so should it and everything like it be NSFW tagged as well?
Roguelike is almost never really used properly, as it should be a turn based, procedurally generated dungeon crawler with permadeath and no permanent upgrade system that makes the game slowly easier.
There’s maybe like three games from the last decade that actually fit the definition.
Which is why it mostly changed to be Roguelite which pretty much just means “there’s ‘permadeath’ but you gain exp/money to unlock buffs and you repeat until you manage to finish a run”. It’s used to very quickly explain the main gameplay/progression loop of any genre of game it’s attached to.
Kinda like how we use FPS because calling them all doomclones makes no sense - we just didn’t pick a better name this time.
