A person or object doing something that is seen as futile and repetitive, usually taking a long time to finally get the satisfaction of completion. The term is in reference to the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who is punished by being forced to roll a boulder up a mountain, only for the boulder to fall back once nearing the top.

sisyphic 

A frustratingly futile task, especially one that keeps being attempted. Related to the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who is condemned to roll a huge bolder up a hill, only to have it roll down again, just before it gets to the top.
“We want to thank all of the activists that stood with us all these years. They stood by our side during the long sisyphic struggle, and all our supporters, in Israel and throughout the world,” he added.

Sisyphus Prime 

Bigger Badder and Radder version of bitch baby Minos Prime. Instead of Minos's charge up sequence where he has to be birthed from his flesh prison, Sisyphus kills his flesh prison (called the flesh panopticon) from the inside. bro is just built different... oh yeah, also instead of Minos's speech which was something like "thanks for freeing me, imma beat the shit outta you." was nice compared to Sissy's speech of (Imma beat the shit outta you, and god himself!" still got beat by a gro-pro with legs, skill issue imo...
(also this is a bit off topic but where are the souls going? does V1 just have some spare black soul gems in his inventory for prime souls? like are they going to extra hell? if we keep diving further are we going to reach that extra hell and meet them both? Maybe they combined into a combined Prime soul named "Sisyphos Prime" or something...)
Person trying to beat Sisyphus "Ok google, how do you beat Sisyphus Prime?"
Souls game lookin ass google "Parry, Block, Dodge Kid... Parry, Block, Dodge."
Person trying to beat Sisyphus "k..."

The Sisyphus of Biff 

From "Back to the Future" to describe the fate of Biff Tannen, marked by his repeated, failed attempts and subsequent punishment for his evil transgressions, muchly similar to Donald Trump.
We watched "Back to the Future" so many times, only to mock The Sisyphus of Biff.
