The Rule of Backtracking 

The Rule of Backtracking mainly applies to the game Dead Space, where the player does a lot of backtracking throughout the levels. Basically, if you leave an area where you've killed monsters and then come back, those monsters will have mysteriously respawned. It's handy for players to know, especially on Impossible Mode, that just because you have cleared out an area does not mean that it's totally safe for the rest of the game.
Pedro: What the heck is this crap? Man, I swore I cleaned out this area, and now there are more monsters! I don't have any med packs left!
Napoleon: Dude, the Rule of Backtracking, man.
*player is mauled to death by a Necromorph*
Napoleon: Told you.

Backtracking 

When you realise something you did wasn’t as good as you thought so you have to hurry the fuck jo and fix it.
A good case of backtracking:

“HIS NAME WAS SEBASTIAN AT BIRTH BUT HE HAD TO CHANGE IT WHEN HE FAKED HIS DEATH. HES STILL HARRY STYLES AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE REFERRED TO AS HARRY NOT SEBASTIAN. ITS STILL AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A HARRY FIC LMAODNDJD ok im gonna go stare at a wall now”

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
