The term 'Nerfed' is a reference coined from the popular toy brand by Hasbro®, known for making play-weapons and sports equipment with an emphasis on utilizing a foam construction for the fun and safe use of their products. As such, the term is used to refer to something in a story or video game whose capabilities are altered to be less effective, hence comparing a previously useful tool to a Nerf® toy. A character in a story may be 'nerfed' to reconcile overpowered abilities with the continuity of the plot. A strategy or weapon in a video game may be 'nerfed' by the developers to ease the frustration of other players, encourage alternative strategies, or increase the level of difficulty.
His character had a really good strategy in the pilot, but then it was like he was nerfed for the rest of the season.

Get the Nerfed mug.The pretentious "Big-tech" dorks of Silicon Valley known for annoying otherwise-productive & tech-savvy people, helping to destroy the first amendment with censorship, and growing a technocracy to replace not only themselves, but pretty much most of humanity.
While Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and the likes have always been fodder for critics of upstanding human behavior, 2020 really showed how powerful the Nerf Gun Mafia has become, and how dangerous it is to America as well as the rest of the world.

Get the Nerf Gun Mafia mug.This when a video game company with a mmorpg online game makes your character extremely weak and useless because you was so much more powerful than everyone else. And a lot of people cry about it too. But the game makers and other people get so jealous because he gets all the girls and love. They nerf him as much money and time he put into it. And that’s the worst criminal offense ever. And they think they can get away with it because they move to an island so they can’t get arrested by other authorities and a lot of other people move across the world to escape charges and death. For their crimes. They don’t want to put in the same hard work as him and cry and steal from him. ,
They all going to hell for nerfing those greatest players and cost them everything. Don’t worry and took everything they had too. Some people spend 20 years or more building they self up in a game becoming stronger. Nerf
