In games or tv series (particularly anime), a short event or battle that is drawn out to several hours / multiple episodes, often for dramatic effect or clarity of events.
The DBZ effect was clearly shown in our game when a battle that took 24 sceonds in game took and hour to role play.

The act in which people sellout in order to boost their finances by locking their media and adding erotic images/video behind paywalls.
I can't believe Yaya Han fell victim to the Nigri Effect.
It seems there's a Nigri Effect within the cosplay scene.

Having great urge to do something, preferably video game related (fallout 3/ fallout new Vegas), and once the activity is about to begin, you lose all urge to do said activity.
"I'm going to go play fallout 3" *loads up fallout* "I don't want to do this anymore"
"Why not"
"I got the Fallout effect"
"Why not"
"I got the Fallout effect"

The Renaldi Effect, or "Going full Renaldi" , is a social psychological phenomenon that refers to cases in which an individual has a well-established bias in which someone's subjective confidence in their judgments is reliably greater than their objective accuracy. This is the phenomenon in which people tend to believe they are noticed more than they really are. Being that one is constantly in the center of one's own world, an accurate evaluation of how much one is noticed by others has shown to be uncommon. The reasoning behind the spotlight effect comes from our human tendency to forget that although one is the center of one's own world, one is not the center of everyone else's. This tendency is especially prominent when one purchases a yellow Ferrari 430.
