Save the World Syndrome

A strange phenomenon experienced by several games from 2017-present where the original game is surpassed in popularity by a battle royale spin-off or gamemode occurring in the same game or universe. The name 'Save the World Syndrome' comes from Fortnite: Save the World, a PvE shooter created by Epic Games. The developers introduced a new mode called 'Battle Royale' which quickly replaced the core game.

Saved that starfish

A phrase used when one solves a minute problem.

It is particularly useful when others in close proximity are unnecessarily stressed over the aforementioned bother.
A professor is giving a lecture with a PowerPoint. One slide has a minor typo and the entire class becomes disgruntled. Annoyed by the complaining students, and his embarrassing blunder, the professor edits the PowerPoint and mutters, “whew, we saved that starfish.”
