Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Any game like vampire survivors.
Passive bullet hells.
Literally people say its the thing they play when they dont have the energy for something else the way that people use fast food to replace cooking.
Easy to spin up and there are so many knockoffs that are "fine" but barely different.
It's easy and pretty much automatic but filled with dopamine giving stimuli even if it wears off really fast. It makes it about as addictive as fast food too.
