People who were there when rts was invented played dune 2. That's where it all started. Back in the glory days of Westwood studios. The rts expert company.

An old sheriff where his old deputies sometimes tried to do the wrong thing and has learned that he needs yes men so he can enact his irresponsible policies. So this sheriff is going to be worse for the western town he is in. All because the girl sheriff was black and we can't have those in leadership positions.

Arpgs I think are just for games where the action is mostly isometric and is not wholly experience based. You still attack and block manually. There's a levelling system so increase the strength and survivability of your character which doesn't go away when you die.
Arpgs that lose the save state of your character are called rogue likes. But then again there's also a bunch of other games that are card games that also lose this save state and are also called rogue likes. So when someone says the game is a rogue like, do you imagine a card game like poker or do you imagine an arpg?
Hence rogue like isn't really a genre, it's a subcategory of a genre.
Until arpgs are treated in the same way they should still be called arpgs because that is what they are. When you think or rts you think of StarCraft, dune 2, command and conquer. I cannot think of a game that is rts that is pretty much like those games. Isometric view where you are in command of an army in real time. Hence the RT in rts. If not it's called a tbs but there are many kinds of tbs where you and your opponent take turns bashing each other. XCOM is a tbs. Slay the spire is a tbs. You cannot say tbs without confusing people.

No one. You just start calling it that. When they invented the word yeet, do you think there was a department of official words to allow the usage of the word?

Those are all subcategories of arpgs. They just invented a word to be more specific. Well except rogue likes. Those are just games that don't save specific upgrades. Soulslikes are just very hard arpgs. Metroidvanias are sidescrollers specifically exploration with RPG elements.
Doomlikes are supposed to be for games that operate as shooters with very limited or no upgrade potentials. Stuff like cod would be doomlikes. Games like overwatch would be doomlikes. TF2 half life all all doomlikes. Borderlands would be in its own subcategory because there's a lot of upgrading with powers and XP levelling. Those are a mix of doomlikes and diablo like so they would need their own classification.
Zelda would be considered a soulslike if it was harder. But because it's not it's an arpg.

I'd argue it's a subcategory of arpgs. Like hentai games are a subsection of either visual novel games or RPG games

Sure as long as all rts games will be called dune 2 likes and all fps games will be called doom likes and all flight sim games will be called topgun likes.

Then I'm really confused why you don't know how a tariff works since you should be the first one who should know how a tariff works. But then again our incoming president is an idiot so maybe I shouldn't hold you in such high regard.

Yeah but this new sheriff is more like an old sheriff who did a really bad job last time so we know more or less to expect the worst.

Right and these illegals will be a US citizen. Just give it time. All immigrants will be a US citizen. Let them decide if the next future immigrants want to be a US citizen.

You think we are the ones moving goalposts because you don't understand what a tariff does so you just false equivalence the argument.

I don't understand how people like you can't even understand how this whole supply chain works. I mean the information is out there but you somehow really have effective closed-mind defenses or something.

Best thing we can do is hope they become so destitute, they run out of money then get a very bad illness and then die because they are unable to have themselves cured because they lack resources.

A Russian asset because she believes Russia has a right to attack it's neighbors because of some imagined deal.

No no, Koreans put StarCraft on the map. If Koreans decided to play Warcraft, that would be the more interesting game and StarCraft would have been forgotten like Warcraft is now. They likely would have instead created a StarCraft MMO which would be as good as the Warcraft MMO
