paywall

A virus that began in the late 1990s and has spread rapidly on the internet in the 2010s, requiring users to pay in order to view articles on news websites. They began doing this thanks to users using Adblock.

Companies like The New York Times and various other newspapers began exploiting this to their fullest extent. And if you're trying to write a paper or something, expect yourself to lose a couple dollars to these greedy dorks. You'd better be off using Incognito Mode on Chrome if you want to get around them.
Kyle: Hey, were you able to write that essay?
Chris: No, every single website I visited is locked behind a paywall and now they're making me pay for an overpriced subscription.
Kyle: Screw those guys, they have enough money!

Tencent

Chinese version of Electronic Arts. They suffer the same problems of buying companies and transferring their ownership to the Chinese government, as well as being greedy in their individual games.

Nippon Ichi

Basically the Japanese version of Electronic Arts (or EA). They were a once great company who started turning to crap in the 2010s. This all started when they would localize licensed games based on anime, manga, and doujin franchises, only to degrade them. Things started getting bushier when they began licensing anime titles with no dubs.
Konata: Hey, did you get Touhou Gensou Rondo?
Susumu: No, that's a crappy Nippon Ichi game. I heard they pulled an LJN on it when localizing it for North America. Basically a long tutorial, bad backgrounds, and nobody online. I'm gonna get the AVGN to review this.

crashaholic

Term used to refer to any buggy app that crashes a lot, but can also refer to your computer as well.
Example 1: Pinnacle Studio is such a crashaholic, so that's why I switched to Adobe Premiere.
Example 2: I bought a new PC because my old one was a crashaholic every time I tried to use it.
