    Not quite sure what defines a rogue-like, since even Balatro was
    claiming the rogue-like status! However, this one is interesting. You
    may not realize this but I see a great deal of potential in Tetris base,
    as I'm still addicted to Block Out (a 3 dimensional Tetris game I never
    got enough of while studying Japanese at Indiana University).

    My host mother in Hokkaido Japan asked me once, "Uodobii-san wa terebi
    geemu o suki desu?"

    Hell yes, I suki terebi geemu!

    Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a
    sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage.
    The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath,
    whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There
    Genubath lived with Pharaoh?s own children.
