When listening to music while under the influence of psychedelic drugs such as LSD. Some psychonauts use this term as a rationale for consuming psychotropic substances. The term comes from lo-fi music and is described to bring the psychedelic voyager closer to reality and more intense auditory hallucinations. Lofing does not only include lo-fi music but ranges from all sorts of music.
"There are all sorts of madmen dropping acid these days? What do they expect to get out from it?"
"They're just lofing... is there something wrong with having a blast and at the same time establishing a real connection with artists?"
LOFing is a gaming term used to describe a combat strategy that involves the use of a Large Organised Force (LOF).
The term originated in the Mortal Online IRC channel as Beta applicants decided that a new term needed to be invented, to describe an attack force - that was equal in size to that of a Zerg, but did not lack the organisation that is associated with Zerging.
The term was first suggested by Sampzky on June 4th 2009.
Player 1: How is the assault on the enemy keep going?
Player 2: We're LOFing the crap out of them.
Player 1: Nice one, keep it up.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
