Zulktism A Brain Tingle Theory Is The idea that when two people in close proximity both notice someone unexpectedly attractive or striking, their brains briefly “sync” through shared micro-reactions—like a split-second mental connection caused by mutual recognition of the same attention-grabbing stimulus.

In simpler terms: both people lock eyes at the same moment like “yeah… we saw that too.” and there’s an unspoken, instant understanding.
“Me and my friend both turned at the same time and just nodded… Zulktism Theory in action.”

“No words were said, just eye contact. That was a full activation.”

“It’s like your brains lag and then sync back up for half a second.”

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
