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

In the capsule unit, all the required amenities are provided; TV, radio, alarm clock, adjustable lighting... almost everything is provided! Every device is within your reach and you can control everything in a sleeping position.

CasualGoth 

A style of Goth that is both cheap and comfortable.
The average male CasualGoth's wardrobe consists of black band shirts and graphic tees, as well as black and blue jeans. The average female's wardrobe consists of the same, with the occasional poet's cap, skirt, or lacey glove thrown in for a feminine touch. Most CasualGoths have been a part of the Goth subculture for a long time, and have discovered that they don't need dramatic makeup or outfits to be Goth. Makeup is minimal, a little eyeliner there or lipstick here, or they might just paint their nails.
