The most beautiful girl that can’t choose an aesthetic to save her life. People pronounce her name wrong but it’s ok. She’s incredibly unique and once she’s out of your life, you’ll spend generations missing her. She’s definitely not one to miss out on knowing. If you ever meet a Netia, just know you’ll always be in love.
Netia is the perfect example of an ideal person.

An ASCII "hack and slash" based game, of the genre "dungeon crawler". "Hack and slash" denotes oen of the game's requirements: Killing things (monsters, in this case) until you level up enough to continue.

The primary goal of this game is to retrieve the "amulet of Yendor" for your character's god, and after retrieving it (from the deepest level of an extremely large dungeon), carrying it all the way back up and through 5 planes.

The game has multiple thousand references to fantasy books and games, such as "Hack", another "hack and slash game", Lord of the Rings (a fantasy series by J.R.R Tolkein), and Dungeons and Dragons.

Many game completions ("ascensions") require over 12 hours of gameplay, and Nethack is known as one of the most difficult to beat games of all time.

Dude: "Oh my gosh, I've tried for years and have never been able to beat that game!"

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
