I discovered Shaun this year and binged most of his videos. The War On Science was this year and is great, though 4+ hours is a big commitment... Most of his other stuff is shorter.

To be fair trial and error and RNG are just par for the course with classic roguelikes, but learning how to manage all that is part of the appeal. Nethack and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup are probably the two best-supported old classic roguelikes out there. Honorable mentions for Dwarf Fortress, which basically abandoned its roguelike mode in favor of a fortress simulator, and UnReal world, which is a weird outdoor primitive survival game that's a testament to one man's obsession.

There are also more modern offerings like Tales of Maj'Eyal, Caves of QUD, and Dungeons of Dredmor that are fully faithful roguelikes with either more modern graphics or QOL upgrades.

Started playing Spelunky HD again the other day, the sequel is better but the original is still fun to revisit.

Morrowind and Fallout: New Vegas sometimes. I've tried playing the original two Fallout games but I keep bouncing off the first hour or two.

Some Guilty Gear XX AC+R with a friend -- we would love to play some old Tekken games too but we're both on PC so Tekken 7 is the oldest available.

Every once in a while I'll play some Sacrifice, such an amazing game that's dying for a remaster.

Just use the web version on Firefox with ublock origin. Been using the free version for years. You'll get a few seconds of dead air now and then as a few ads cycle through without playing, but it's far from the full length that the ad break is supposed to be.
