You also have to consider this as a concept. "Ring Rust" is term for Human aptitude diminishing as the result of a skill set not being applied over as set of time. If I am not continually or continuously performing a task, my ability to perform said task diminishes over time. Consider a knife. If you use a knife the blade dulls and it, therefore, needs to be sharpened. But AS you use the knife your ability to use the knife increases over time. If you stop using knife for an extended period of time, it will develop rust and dull as the natural and your ability to USE the knife will also diminish.
Hym Iam "And that's where the term 'ring rust' comes from. Aptitude diminishing as a byproduct of atrophy. What I'm dealing with now is a combination of atrophy and biomechanical disfunction. I haven't had to be serious in a while and I feel like I am fucking dying. And I could totally use your eyes. Once the Meta hud glasses improve and I aquire my own personal interface I might buy a pair."

Eli Rust Theory

An informal term used to describe a recurring pattern in which Eli, after discovering a video game he genuinely enjoys, becomes highly engaged with it to the point that it dominates his leisure time. During this period, he is unlikely to play alternative games and tends to decline invitations to switch until his interest naturally shifts.
Ever since Eli started Arc Raiders, he hasn’t touched anything else—The Eli Rust Theory is in full effect.
