Pertains to and when something out of your own control (or seemingly out of your own control) goes totally wrong and has negative consequences. "The Steamer" loves everyone despite everyone despising "the steamer."
Losing a sports video game at the very last second. Dropping your beer. Getting in a car accident. Pouring your cereal only to find not enough milk. Your girlfriend cheating on you. Steve McNair coming one yard shy of a superbowl victory. All of these are just some examples of "the steamer" and how it ruins our day by loving us.

Get the Sanchez Steamer mug.Refers to people who are in well-paid, cosy, cushy jobs - who don't actually do any real work but are exceptionally talented at justifying their own worthless jobs, wasting money and making sure that whatever happens their own job stays justified and safe so that they can maintain their own cushy lifestyles. Good at feathering their own nests and shitting in other people's.
Lifestyle maintenance strategists are usually 'precious' but deluded people who highly rate their own value or worth. They'd be laughed off a building or construction site.

Get the Lifestyle Maintenance Strategist mug.noun. Gaming. A strategy that seeks to provide means for overcoming a challenge (e.g. a boss fight) not by engaging with the challenge itself but rather by bypassing it altogether. It is oftentimes exploitative of a game's mechanics, taking advantage of oversights in game balance made by the developers to easily deal with an obstacle.
Cheese strategies trivialize challenging content, by either speeding the process up immensely to eliminate the challenge or by making it nigh impossible to fail (e.g. through creating means to infinitely heal oneself). One could distinguish between "fast cheese" and "slow cheese".
Not to be confused with glitch exploits. Cheese strategies always work within the bounds of the game.

A: Hey, I just can't beat this boss, this one move just kills me every time.
B: Oh yeah, I struggled with him too. But there's this cheese strategy using this set of armor and a combination of potions that makes you pretty much invincible so I managed to get past him.
