I lust in my heart for as many dead refugees as possible.
Here are some ones you can play: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Sil, Brogue, DOOMRL, ADOM, ToME4, nethack. I can give you advice on most of those. Give it a shot.

I used to dislike roguelikes until I realized I had never actually played one. I'm going to play DCSS.

I play Crawl, DoomRL and Tome4 OP.

Of those 3, I have beaten Crawl 7 times (4 15 runers) and DoomRL on Ultra Violence.

The tome4 victory eludes me because I refuse to play on baby mode, ahem, I mean the mode with lives.

What other roguelikes should I sink my teeth into?

Brogue looks cool and also short like DoomRL. Is it?

Roguelikes are lifelong games man. They'll be there with infinite replayability long after you're finished with other shorter games.

Jump in whenever. Roguelikes are eternal.

the only good roguelike is one way heroics because you can win before it becomes a chore

That one's alright but it's a little easy. I got bored after beating it with a naked unarmed character.

whats the difference between a good rogue and bad rogue

ive played half of those games and i cant tell which are good or bad

i liked 1 way heroics the most because its pretty quick but that doesnt seem like a defining characteristic of the genre

IMO a bad roguelike will be full of dick moves and kill you from bad RNG because "haha roguelikes are supposed to be hard isn't it funny"

Good roguelikes will be winnable most of the time as long as you make good decisions/don't get greedy.

DCSS is really good about this.

that was a sick game & random world had more variety on each playthrough than pretty much any modern game with procedural generated levels
