board my platform

A nicer, sarcastic way of telling someone " please be kind enough to understand things from my point of view"
Mom: Devon, when I was your age, and hung out, I didn't smoke weed, I listened to The Beatles

Devon: well, board my platform, maybe you will understand modern idiotagers better

Platform Cycle

When a meme is posted and becomes popular, there is a sudden surge of this kind of meme across the more populated areas of the web.

Stage 1 of the surge is the start: often memes will start on Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit. Twitter and Reddit often have their own meme surges within them after a meme is made, largely unaffected by the discussions on other platforms. Instagram memes can move between Reddit and Twitter, but rarely are built on in Instagram itself.

Stage 2 is the true beginning of the meme's journey: it is saved and posted to many other places online, often including Tumblr and iFunny, the worst places for the meme to be picked up, however they are crucial in the growth of the meme, spreading to the lowest points of the internet.

Stage 3 can often start in the middle of stage 2: it is used in chat rooms and apps like Discord and Teamspeak. This boosts the growth of the meme to astronomic levels, as the meme is now used in a personal creative way or spread to large amounts of people through a lot of small groups.

Stage 4 is the end of the road: after a specified amount of time (depending on how funny or well-used the meme was) the meme dies. It moves onto the afterlife by being posted to Facebook, or being reviewed by PewDiePie. On FB, the meme is laughed at by the elderly, and soon after becomes completely irrelevant and overshadowed by the next big meme.

It must be noted that 4chan is secretly in every stage.

platform

A gaming term that also merges two meanings: it refers to a synonym for the "side scroller" genre, where the gameplay involves moving sideways through levels, and the console or operating system on which a video game is played.
Whether you're playing on a console or PC, the platform can greatly affect your gaming experience, especially in side scrollers!

Ability-Gated Exploration Platformer

An ability-gated exploration platformer (AGEP) is a genre term for a video game that is heavily based around exploration and non-linearity, with certain areas generally inaccessible without upgrades or new unlockable abilities.

The game space is often open-world or semi-open, and involves encountering obstacles that the player cannot usually overcome without later backtracking. This is the generic term for the genre more popularly known as "Metroidvania" or "Zeldavania."
I'm working on a new game. It's an ability-gated exploration platformer inspired by Dead Cells and Guacamelee!
