Play Conditioning

A term invented by Harry Brewis, more commonly known as HBomberGuy on YouTube, is a term used to define how games teach their players how to play them beyond basic mechanics and button tutorials. Prime examples of play conditioning would be Bloodborne's use of the rally system, combos and lack of shields to draw players into an aggressive mindset, or how Devil May Cry's style system makes players want to experiment with the mechanics to get better scores.

Similar to the 'Space Cadet' and 'Away with the fairies', though this one also refers to someone in deep thought as well as someone who is daydreaming.

To play cookie

To play cookie (LV: spēlēt cepumu) - traditional Latvian game, usually for boys and played at parties.
The game is played by at least 2 lads standing next to each other with a cookie on the table in front of them. The lads proceed to pull down their pants and aggressively jerk off, trying to be the first to cum. The last lad to cum on the cookie is the loser and has to eat said cookie on the table, which has been glazed with the cum of many blokes.
Hey guys, we have some time to spare before we hit the actual party, want to play cookie (trad. spēlēt cepumu)? Kirill got a kick out of it last time.
