Scrub Check

noun. Similar to a skill check in TTRPGs, it is an impassable obstacle in a video game that is intended to ensure that the player has enough skill/knowledge/technique to proceed.

Generally used in game design because the player will genuinely not be able to defeat the game's challenges without learning to play better. e.g. Celeste's crystal hearts, non-optional soulslike bosses, etc.

A Scrub Check is NOT the padding out of a game by implementing sidequests, mandatory items, etc., it is rather the implementing of a hard limit/difficulty spike that a player without the requisite skill cannot pass.
"Ugh, I can't get past this huge barrier in chapter 9."
"Yeah, that's the Scrub Check for the rest of the level. Trust me, you are not going to win unless you know how to wavedash and wallbounce. The bonus levels will teach you."

Show Up, Shut Down, Clock In and Check Out.

This phenomenon describes how some people react to undesirable and uninspiring work situations. This phenomenon is mainly applicable to people working boring, mindless jobs, most of whom perform rote work -- e.g., data entry -- or are paid simply simply for their presence -- e.g., a booth attendant. Activities that constitute 'shutting down' and checking out' include: napping, reading, sending excessive/unnecessary text messages, and listening to one's iPod.
Elliott: I'm surprised Tom hasn't gotten more sleep today -- doesn't he have to work the graveyard shift tonight?
Mark: Yeah, but remember, he's a booth attendant in the middle of the night...he's just going to Show up, Shut down, Clock in and Check out.
