The Super Meat Boy Effect

The Super Meat Boy Effect is an effect coined by the YouTuber and Twitch streamer Failboat where the idea is the task at hand isn't that hard, but the issue is that because you died to it so much, you now die on the other parts because you're trying to get to the part you're having trouble faster, which then causes the cycle to loop all over again.

Guy: Goddammit! Why can't I get to the end?!
Guy 2: Looks like The Super Meat Boy Effect is in full play.

Birthday effect

Also known as the birthday blues, this effect is a statistical phenomenon where an individual's likelihood of death appears to increase on or close to their birthday, e.g. due to skydiving in order to celebrate birthday

They say there's a birthday effect, so I’m skipping the skydiving this year; I don’t want to become a statistic.
