Bad design

Bad design is attributed to games that have Gameplay artifacts that unfairly punish the player should they not do as the game orders of them.
Bad design can also be exacerbated by games punishing players simply because they didn't know any better.
Terraria's boulder trap removes up to 400 HP instantly despite the fact players are not allowed to see it; A crystal-clear example of bad design.

Furthermore, they are not made aware of its existence until much later on in the game, meaning if they've attained valuable items it's all lost in a matter of seconds without the chance of retaliation.

reality design

The design and implementation of a customized reality for an individual or a group of individuals to live in.
After working as a graphic designer in New York City, that profession's capital, for two decades, I turned to designing my own personal reality and call myself a Reality Designer, an individual who practices reality design.

Reality design observes and documents the current reality and finds ways to modify it to fit the needs of the client. It usually entails blocking out undesired things and supplanting them with desired things, as well as finding ways to facilitate the development and eventual realization of other desired situations and conditions which do not happen overnight.

design rodeo

A design session held after weeks of prep and just before a deadline. These decisions are made chaotically and without clear justification. This is analogous to "holding on to the horns of a bull until it throws you off". It also infers that the participants are all cowboys.
The designers just came out of a design rodeo that wrecked the solution - what a bunch of cowboys!
