US President Joe Biden has condemned Iranian attacks on military facilities in Israel, pledging a coordinated Group of Seven (G7) diplomatic response while highlighting the United States’s help in taking down “nearly all” of the attacking drones and missiles.

Biden, who cut short a trip to Delaware and returned to Washington, DC to meet advisers over the late Saturday night attack, said in a statement released by the White House that the US forces and facilities had not been hit.

The US president said he reiterated the “ironclad” support for Israel’s security in a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom he has had strained relations over Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza.

“Tomorrow, I will convene my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack,” he said.

“And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people,” he said.

    At the International Roguelike Development Conference 2008 held in Berlin, Germany, players and developers established a definition for roguelikes known as the “Berlin Interpretation”.

    These guys have extremely strict definitions, which mean that most “rougelike” games are in fact roguelites, if you care about what they think.

    There are nine “high value” factors that are more or less a requirement:

    Random Environment Generation
    Permadeath
    Turn-Based
    Grid-Based
    Non-Modal
    Complexity
    Resource Management
    ‘Hack-n-Slash’
    Exploration and Discovery

    Plus six “low value” factors that are less important:

    Single Player Character
    Monsters are Similar to Players
    Tactical Challenge
    ASCII Display
    Dungeons
    Numbers

    There is, as you might expect, a fair bit of controversy about that though.
