Cult classic

A movie term for a franchise that becomes insanely popular among a relatively small group of people.

Had its showrunners not introduced the concept of Regeneration, Doctor Who would have died out in the '60s as a mere cult classic.

Tabularasaness

The quality of being new to a craft and not having learned the conventions and tropes of it, making it very easy for one to start experimenting with it without getting bogged down in the finer details as veterans of such crafts often will. Applies mostly to the arts, such as drawing and music production. Derived from the term tabula rasa, Latin for 'blank slate', representing the idea of one's mind being a blank slate ready to be populated with new information.

"I used to do art all the time, but delving into all the art meta killed all that tabularasaness that was keeping me going. Now my creative drive is running on fumes if anything at all. It's really depressing."

March 32nd

A synonym for April 1st. Often used as a thinly-veiled implication of April Fool's Day for those not paying close attention.

That's right! The devs have already stated that they'll be releasing the Zombie Clown gear pack on March 32nd!

. . .

Charity

A common type of money-laundering scam that makes use of guilt-tripping and vague appeals to one's sense of compassion in order to accrue massive amounts of monetary 'donations'. Unlike other scams, charity is very effective in urbanized environments such as Europe and the USA due to the massive amount of political padding around humanitarian efforts, making it very difficult to launch investigations into suspected money laundering operations under such themes.

I'm sick and tired of seeing all these in-your-face charity funds up online. I'd sooner donate my bank account credentials to a random African prince than help some random eastern-European dude buy cocaine or some shit.

user 2: "what a fucking bulldog; good riddance"

Hydra hotfix

When a video game developer, typically Indie, releases an update for their game without performing thorough quality control checks beforehand, causing the update to introduce new bugs in their game. Eager to fix these issues, they release a hotfix to patch the issue, but it only introduces even more bugs to fix. Lacking patience and any sort of effective quality control protocols, the game developer ends up releasing dozens of hotfixes for their previous hotfixes, creating an avoidable amount of hotfixes that would've been unnecessary had the dev taken more time to perform all necessary testing to identify potential flaws with their changes.

user1: "wtf is with all these hotfixes?"
user2: "the dev made a hydra hotfix and had to go on a wild goose chase to get everything fixed"
user1: "ffs does anyone even know what quality control is anymore"
