falter

P1: Don't falter, I think your brilliant.
P2: I'm not that good. I lie, cheat and hold hate in my mind.
P1: Makes you stronger man. We treat mishaps like sinking ships. A good quote to live by my old friend. "How glorious it is__and also how painful__to be an exception." -Louis Charles Alfred De Musset

Falter Ego

What some might define as an 'alter ego' except for the fact that the person is aware of the change between their usual and abnormal selves.
When someone is trying to impress a certain group of people, they may snap out their falter ego and put on a show to make those people think they're cool by their standards, when really they're just posing.
Gill: "Oh my gosh, I heard you and Bob broke up!"
Jen: "Yeah, he had a falter ego."
Gill: "Pardon me?"
Jen: "He'd act one way around me and my friends so that we'd like him, but then become his true self around all his buddies. I didn't like the real him, and the fact that he tried to hide it with a falter ego is worse."
Gill: "Well, good for you!"

casual filter

A part or stage in a game that escalates in difficulty in a very short period of time, separating the casuals from the actual gamers.

Not to be confused with a steep/vertical learning curve, as these mean that the game is hard to learn and master from the beginning.

Games with a casual filter will give you a false feeling of confidence as the filter comes after you have learned the basics and started progressing, just to catch you off guard and make your run end, usually having to start from zero again.

Some examples of casual filters in games include the winter in Project Zomboid and your first goblin raid in Dwarf Fortress
Person 1: Ayo wtf is this I just lost my 30h run, how do you even survive the winter?
Person 2: Welcome to the casual filter, play more and git gud

Roblox Filter

A stupid filter that roblox has which hashtags almost half the words in the english language, the filter keeps getting worse and worse every year until the point you can't type the letter 'a'.
Person #1 : Hey ###### ### ##### #### ok?

Person #2 : Yeah sure # #### play ########### with ####.

Roblox Filter is a stupid way of making words invisible for younger 5-12 roblox kids.
