Noun: a play on the name "Obsidian," which is a video game development company that prides itself on making mediocre sequels to largely successful titles.
Gamer 1: That new RPG is coming out next month! Obsidian made it, and it looks really good!

Gamer 2: Yeah, but Absurdian also developed Fallout: New Vegas. Remember how buggy that was when it came out? Don't waste your money on their new release; wait until it gets down to $20. By then, they should have some of the bugs fixed.

Absurdly Insane 

When someone says something that caught you off guard or something crazy in general.
Classmate : "Yeah, this girl last night almost bit my dick off."
Me : "That is absurdly insane!"

Satorian Absurdism 

A psychological and social consequence of the generational culture divide and the introduction of the internet to youth, especially late Milennials/Gen Z, who conform to Satorian Ideals of nihilism, hopelessness, keen awareness, and a lethargic attitude to much of life's troubles. This has created a strange group of individuals who are totally alien from other generations, and who's motivations, personality, interests, and lifestyle are combinations and variations of infinite (often online factors) totally unseen in prior years. In simple terms, it is the extreme complexity of today's youth, and is what isolates them from their peers. In terms of personality, interests, and desire, they can be seen as "absurdist", or difficult to explain. In a sort-of faux mental-illness type way, where understanding what's going on in their head would take an entire wiki, and often a reason is lacking. It embraces the chaos of reality in the most nihilistic (and directionless) way possible.

tl;dr, the depressing autistic nihilistic absurdist way the Satori generation navigates reality.
That Trump Shooter's motivation is unclear, might be another case of Satorian Absurdism.
