Only if it's The People's Pug!

If there's no standard definition, then I can apply whichever definition I want. What's your point?

No, no, you don't get it, it's critical support. In that Russia gets the support part, and Ukraine gets the criticism part.

Literally the core feature of roguelikes is that you reset to base state upon death. Which is what OP described.

I suppose so. Metaprogression is your stash that you keep between runs. Tho extraction shooters also usually include PvP during the runs, so maybe that's the distinction.

You're describing roguelikes

I was hoping for a guillotine, but these will do nicely.

Orb: On the Movement of the Earth is, in my opinion, the best show I've ever watched. Also strongly recommend Vinland Saga and Summertime Rendering.

Edit to add brief summaries:

Orb - set in 15th century Europe-ish with the main theme of astronomy research amid church persecution, but also more general questions of science, curiosity and inspiration. Not many action scenes, but excellent storytelling and characters. Gets pretty dark at times, considering one of the main characters is a church official tasked with interrogations.

Vinland Saga - another historical fiction piece, this time with early 11th century Vikings. More action, but also excellent story and characters, including some real historical figures of that period. Portrays war and slavery in very dark colors, so keep that in mind before watching.

Summertime Rendering - describing the main premise would be kind of a spoiler for the first episode, so I'll stick to the vibes. For me, it was like a Stephen King novel met a Resident Evil game. Unsolved mysteries in a small town, characters that are actually smart and resourceful (on both sides of the conflict) and just a sprinkle of eldritch horror.

Anarchists are far left. Tankies are far right. Hope this helps.
