    It is a intended as an insult. It is intended to insinuate out of style and old fashioned. Has nothing to do with the rhyme. Rogue is used to describe those games as they are “rogue like”. If this were similar it would be “doom like”.

      I don’t think it’s intended as an insult at all; rather, it’s just a joking reference to the meme that to gen z, anyone 30+ is a ‘boomer’.

        Ironic humor is difficult and often misunderstood.

      Except, you know, that it’s a relatively popular genre that people actively seek out by that name because they specifically want those mechanics.

      It’s absolutely not an insult.
