Anti-softlock

An anti-softlock is a resource used to prevent or get out of an apparent softlock in a videogame (which has been put there by design). It provides the player with a way out of the designed softlock by providing an exit or a way to kill their character in order to return to a previous save state.

Unlike softlocks, anti-softlocks are placed by design and are not effective in true softlocks from by faulty design, death on spawn, spawning inside a wall, or a game autosaving right the instant before you die.

Gamer: "Oh, shit. Where's the anti-softlock? How do I kill myself?"

One whose snobbery is defined by opposition to perceived snobs, highbrow art, aesthetics in general or simply anything one does not like. Can be characterized either by reaction-formation favoring perceived lower-brow forms of art or quite separately by opposition to and persecution of anyone with any perceived aesthetic sensibilities whatsoever.

Anti-snob snob: Can you believe that guy likes Ingmar Bergman??? What a pretentious snob! You know he secretly hates it, nobody REALLY likes that stuff, he's just too much of a poseur to admit he just likes Brett Ratner like the rest of us.

or

Anti-snob snob: I don't like that uppity croissant and espresso bullshit, just give me a roll and strong coffee! (paraphrased from Mad Magazine's Simon & Simon parody)
