Video game terms you hate

then what the fuck do I call these?

Angry Group of Muslims?

No you dumb niggers, people who use "mob" to refer to a SINGLE ENTITY

Enemies. They are enemies.

Also used in World of Warcraft long before Minecraft

Read the first fucking post. Do you even know what a MUD is?

It doesn't fucking matter what you think or post, people use what language makes them understood.

You're like those dictionary people who go "X isn't a word stop using it!" Fuck you and fuck your autism.

...

You're retarded.

Pretty sure the term has roots older than MUDs.

ayy ye u kno wut im talkn bout fam
langage be a personel art that lets hongles like me express theyselves

It does. Way older.

...

...

See this? This is true culture. Its not autism, its not aspergers, its actual true creative human expression. Learn from it, you autists. Learn and be enlightened by it.

the fuck is this

"I don't understand the thread"

toxic wasn't mentioned so far brah

Hey, hey, everyone.

WHO GIVES A FUCK JESUS CHRIST YOU PEOPLE

First post best post as usual.

Mob is short for mobile, objects in the game that were self mobile, the term was coined by Richard Bartle when he was developing MUD1 since before MMOs as we know them today existed.
The term is used for any computer controlled characters in games since before you were born.

For a board focused on vidya, some of you people know almost fucking nothing about it's history.

did you read the post or not

I thought I didnt hate any video game terms but god dam I hate that.

In addition

You're so bad. People were calling the enemies in MMOs mobs, if anything WoW popularised it long before Minecraft.

Why?

pls no bumperino the thread
you said nobody gives a fuck, right? :DDDD

I've seen many a deltoro video for video games and only in minecraft do I see people refer to one creature (zombie, creeper, or whatever) as "a mob"

Once in a dark souls video, but the person who made it was a crustacean imo

I guess because it reminds me of early 90s american films like who framed roger rabbit which I dont think fits with video games at all.

If its a video game about tom and jerry or something then I wouldnt have a problem with toons.

Is a fucking clip
I can't stand when people do this.

So you support editing the definition of racism to 'anyone but whitey' so long as it catches on?

It doesn't matter if they don't know the origin of the term, they are using it right you double nigger.
You're hating people by using the fucking term the right way you double nigger.
Even worse, you wouldn't mind them using fucking angry men or obstacles, but using mob makes you rage just because that certain person doesn't know that in fucking 70's someone decided to call NPCs mobs because they move.
I would put a reaction image here, but i don't have one that show just how disgusted i am to share this board with a fucking hipster faggot like you.

...

wat

...

no wonder video games aren't reaching full potential. These people looks like genuinely horrible D-bags who do their best to sound like they have a clue. But they can only rehash tired and tried crap we have already played. Or they aim real high and realize they have no idea how to do it.

You are one dumb motherfucker. Please kill yourself.

cancer

Mob ain't too bad. I like its shortness.

For me the biggest one I have issue with is "RPG", less because it is annoying, more because it doesn't actually describe the game necessarily. At least, not properly. RPG stands for "roleplaying game". Well that ain't a good descriptor, considering you always play a "role" in anything you play.
I don't have an alternative, but it is just something that irks me.

I just want to set these people alight.

You forgot "streamlined".
Literally "Less content".

Honestly I'd prefer that over aiming as low as possible.

...

...

BEYOND FUCKING MAD

I really, really hate the term healer. Would you honestly call your priest a healer? How about your doctor?

my doctor/priest cannot cure all of my wounds with a beam of light in less than 10 seconds.

healer is the right term you dip.

...

Then why the fuck are healer classes given religious titles like priest, shaman, or monk?

You watched the video in the linux thread and then screencapped this "up next" video.

Because I know this, I should probably kill myself.

You're adults, just say aliasing. How did this term that sounds like it was made up by a 5 year old even become popular?

Referring to screen resolution as taking the height of the screen and adding "p". This is only a legitimate thing with TV broadcast, but fucking console casualness ahs permeated everywhere to the point that even supposed MUSTARD RACE folks use this shitty terminology. Before you console casuals pretending to be PC gamers took over, we referred to resolution like normal people.

I'm rather fond of jaggies tbh

It's a glock brand assault clipazine, you ultra nigger!

I thought it was an abbreviation for "Movable Object".

That being said, yeah, toon is the worst.

Are Jaggies a not so subtle Capcom injoke on their design philosophy for Monster Hunter games, or is that giving them too much credit?

That lizard is clearly giving the eyes, mate. Why would you do this to me

Why does it trigger so many people here? When I use it in online game nobody jumps at it like you people do.

"I still don't understand the thread"

There's a difference between talking on a shitty anonymous image board in a thread specifically complaining about this shit, and in game with people you might want not to think you a sperg.
I don't flip out at people online for using shit terms, using shit tactics, or generally acting like massive faggots. But that don't mean I like it.

Because the etymology of it is the literally most retarded thing. "My character looks like a cartoon, so I call them a toon." No they fucking don't.

Okay, I've been out of too long.
I have not played any MMOs in years, and I don't discuss single player vidya outside of Holla Forums and my very hermetic circle of friends.
What's up with the "toon" thing? I'm confused, I have never ever encountered it. Somebody please explain (and preferably provide a video reference, or something)

When people throw around terms like "lore" or "world building" as the best features of a game, as if they're substitutes for good gameplay or writing.

Anime triggers me more. Just seeing that picture you posted decreased my impression of you by 50. Now the barter prices are really high if you want to buy from me.

Faggot.

Don't you get blocked instantly?

...

You could make a toon and resume your lecture. :^)

Because before doctors existed those professions typically did medical care…

Yes, I would. He heals things. He is a healer.
This is a fairly typical term for this shit, bruv.
Now, granted, I might not call a doctor a "healer", but he would still be a healer.

...

...

This is a healer.

Fuck, where can i get those Mokou pics?

This guy, he gets it.
I would've used the word "wages war" myself, but eh. Same type for "sorcerer".

Btw I don't even watch anime, I just like to use anime reaction images because they convey emotions really well.
Sometime ago somebody called anime "emotional pornography", I tend to agree with such notion.

...

Spoonfeeding is wrong.

...

what does a paladin do?

If i had to put a finger on it, i'd say it's because it's popular in WoW, and Holla Forums has a long-standing hatred of anything that's popular.

Doesn't explain all the Overwatch threads, but there it is.

i dont remember any links i might have been given, i just saved them as i found them; but i just googled it anyhow and here you go danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=shangguan_feiying

...

Paladins are pals.

Padalin'.

Isn't it pronounced "paladEEn"?

You can leave.

>>>/reddit/
>>>/facebook/
>>>/tumblr/

Calling a game with direct control over the player character a 'role-playing-game'. In a RPG you can only influence what your characted does but how well they perform said action should be tied to your stats/diceroll/common sense/dungeon master's and other players' opinions. Doesn't really matter what the system is as long as the rules are followed and you can't get around these rules by player skill like you can in action games

No, not unless you are some faggot Euro, anyway.
It's always been "pala-din"

Why? All those place are full of anime watchers with cute girl or naruto avatars. I prefer it here.

that sounds like something specifically slavs would do

Every name for every glitch move name from a fighting/party game players use

What's a "Paladin"

I was thinking maybe middle easterners. You know, like how Saladin is pronounced Salad-IN in the west, but Salad-EEN over there.

Google.com

...

as a slav-breed, I can say that a slav would say "PalAAAdin", not "paladEEn".

...

Why would they name it after something you do to get to school?

What about ravioli steppin'

If mob stands for "self-mobile entity" does this mean NPCs are also mob only friendlier?

...

Most NPCs are either stationary or tied to following you, so usually no.
Free roaming ones like you would see in Musou games would be mobs indeed however.

I went looking for sources on the origin of "toon" in this context, and while I couldn't find anything definitive, this guy has a pretty reasonable explanation.
gaming.stackexchange.com/a/77215
The only thing I'd add from my anecdotal experience is that it was commonplace on LooneyMUD (opened in 1994) to refer to characters as "toons" because it is a cartoon-themed MUD. That was my first exposure to the term in gaming, and I noticed around that time that it was frowned upon in other MUDs where "char" was the preferred shorthand. I hypothesize that "toon" migrated to MMOs via more casual players, as many hardcore MUD players initially rejected graphical MMOs due to the perception that they were shallow or inferior in some other way to the MUDs they had already been playing.

I have to agree. People who don't have any idea how to spell German shouldn't do it.
It's Krieg not Kreig

...

...

Well there's an anime about guys who get stronger the more emotional duress they're under called Gantz. But now that I think of it every anime is about that.

There's like 3 anime that have been cloned forever. Now we're on like generation 7 or some shit.

These pictures are being forced too hard. You already killed the meme you're trying to make.

The proper term is "bitch". Possibly "slut" if s/he is cumtrained.

TOON

...

This one is by far the worst. Mob is ok when it's referring to a group of enemies, aka a mob of monsters.

Mob was short for mobiles which referred to any singular Monster in Ultima Online.

Gross tbh

Because you're a faggot

And you're even worse than that.

We don't

Unsage.

Isn't manga endless power level creeper like DBZ?

innovative has to be the worst.

It's not like western anime and mangas are any better in making original storylines. Shit, they even use the same characters over and over again in perpetual reboots

nobody cares about or has any respect for muds or people that play them. theyre called muds for crying out loud

I don't know if it's still a thing, but "jumping puzzles" pissed me off. It's call platforming you fucking plebs.

...

...

That's the nickname used for tanks/damage dealers.

It's from that communist inspired documentary about indie dev scum.

European migrants.

It's more like the enemies get a hell of a lot stronger as the series goes on, and the protagonists get slightly better equipment to help them survive. A lot of the protagonists end up dying, but they get a little more plot armor towards the end.

...

motherfucking finally I see it mentioned

also expect a lot of bullshit whit the plot

LUDONARRATIVE DISSONANCE

How about "overpowered"?
AK47s FOR EVERYONE

What do you want?

Most of these words have been misused to the point where they don't mean anything anymore.

Toon triggers the fuck out of me also

That actually means something, though.
Usually when the gameplay and story at at odds with each other.
An example is Undertale. The game's message is peace and shit, yet most people you come across attack you for no fucking reason and you're meant to either beat them into submission or do some dumb bullshit to relax them.

You faggots need to get over it quicly, because you're browsing a board full of weebcucks aka people who post moon toons all day.

There's porn of this 'relaxing', isn't there?

That may be so but kill yourself you gay furfag gook.

MOONTOONS!? YOU ARE FUCKING CALLING ANIME MOONTOONS? KILL YOURSELF YOU FURRY CUCK

they dislike the word toon only when it gets used to define a character/avatar in a videogame you furfag fuck

...

"A mob, mobile, or monster is a computer-controlled non-player character (NPC) in a computer game such as an MMORPG or MUD. Depending on context, every and any such characters in a game may be considered to be a "mob", or usage of the term may be limited to hostile NPCs and/or NPCs vulnerable to attack. Common usage refers to either a single character or a multitude of characters in a group as a mob. In most modern graphical games, "mob" may be used to specifically refer to generic monstrous NPCs that the player is expected to hunt and kill, excluding NPCs that engage in dialog or sell items or who cannot be attacked. "Named mobs" are distinguished by having a proper name rather than being referred to by a general type ("a goblin," "a citizen," etc.). "Dumb mobs" are those capable of no complex behaviors beyond attacking or moving around."

tldr slow your autism down, OP.

Tool.

...

I can't kill myself right now, anons, I'm busy playing video games!!!!

Also, Moontoons is now officially THE trigger word of october, enjoy.

When I hear this word I imagine the guy typing it weighs at least half a ton.

Hey retard we only get triggered when someone uses it in a certain context. Of course you know this though you're just being a faggot.

So is powfoo the new onta at this point?

You should also not reply to them because that encourages them to shitpost.

...

Sometimes we feel lonely and only shitpost, argue, and curse at each other because we need human contact. Sometimes I engage them just for the fun of it.

Aw, does somebody need a safe space?
>>>/tumblr/

The trick is to reply so often that it's too easy, and so therefor is boring.

...

can't be worse than "Japanamation"

It is quite a bit worse than that.
Personally, I always prefered "Gook cartoons".

Fuck.

Epic

what about moonimation.

gonna be using it from now on.

Actually sounds rather nice.
Moonimation
If anime wasn't already fine, I'd use that.

Well now that's something I thought I'd never see. You ought to learn your place here, faggot.

I think it comes from ToonTown right? You're alts were different "Toons" in that. Anyone who calls their alts in different games or played ToonTown at all is autistic though.

we will never know

I usually refer to my characters by their name or class.

This a million fucking times.

And I'd also throw in gunplay.

I don't see the problem

kys

it would make sense if it actually referred to gunplay, but it refers to gun presentation

I think it bothers a lot more people than you might think, they just never bring it up because it's not worth starting an argument over and having everyone think you're a cunt who gets upset over trivial things.
On Holla Forums it's a different story, we're anonymous here so we'll call people faggots over the tiniest issues.

DP's for shoryukens.

DP refers to both the motion and the general concept of an invincible rising uppercut – both of which are common in almost every (2D) fighting game.

Works in ToonTown.

Some NPCs in Wizardry games were autonomously moving around.

I know, but that's not what I meant though.

You ought to take your own advice, moontoon poster.

Any game that uses this word to advertise itself immediately loses my attention.

What's wrong with saying wallbang, unless its outside of cs 1.6 its wrong csgo is bad and I don't play it. Its what everyone called it.

In the korean mmo's I played 10 years ago "mobs" are the enemies that the secondary tanker pulls from the boss.

...

...

I never heard this term

"Japanimation" only just makes me image some middle-aged dad trying to be 'cool' and 'fresh' with his shonenshit-addicted daughter

this
'mob' was common parlance in EQ, which makes sense because EQ was just a DikuMUD with bad graphics. UO players used it as well. A lot of players of both came from MUDs.

Then WOW players used it because EQ players brought it with them.

I fucking hate when people say 'toxic' like it means anything.

I also hate it, because you know that the more often you see it, the closer the game you're playing is to being irredeemable.

THIS word is why I quit playing dota, moved to overwatch, then quit overwatch too.

I wish I had a program to auto-filter anyone who says the word toxic, I just fucking hate that word so much. I hate league players too. The fact that league players exist just makes me angry beyond control.

You can just hear the lisp of some nerd as he draws out the 's' and spits all over the screen. The plebbit generation that has taken over Bethesda modding needs to be lined up against the wall for running this word into the ground.

Nailed it. Only people who seem to use that term are those that frequent Yahoo Answers and Tumblr for videogame discussion.

Reeks of Mountain Dew.

Not really a term but the faggots who spam lenny face 24/7 in chat. Shit was fucking everywhere last time I played TF2. Nobody ever gets punished for it, and if you tell them to fuck off they just do it even more. You can't win.

I remember using it in FFXI before wow was released.

how does he do that cup grip?

This. Ya caught me oops, now that everyone knows I'm a racist I can't rightfully call you a retarded piece of shit anymore. Except I'm still going to do it.

People with this mentality belong in safe spaces.

Mob is the correct term. Knowing the origin of the term doesn't make it invalid outside of the origin.

You're getting angry for no reason.

wew lad

Came here to post this.

Toon will always be the literal worst of all gaming terms.

The sides of the cup are being supported by his three lower fingers.

The fucking ranger's flashbangs just almost instakills these fuckers if you play as USA. Also everything related to toxin or flame also rapes these fuckers. If you use some cheap tank yolo rush tactics then yes, they are OP.

...

Healer

Sorcerer

I hate it because it makes me think of the Britney Spears song. The song's okay-ish, but I can't associate that with a word that's just supposed to mean "asshole". It's twice as bad when someone who is an asshole turns it around and calls people "toxic" for daring to criticize him for screeching over his mic because somebody missed a shot or something. I hate hugboxing as much as the next guy, but what's even worse is when someone's hugboxing about being an asshole.

Anita Wheaton, stop pissing off the moontoon-loving chanmobs, furrfam.

The only thing that irritates the shit out of me is people calling their characters a "toon".

"Toxic" and "Offensive", the words of the hugbox generation.

lol that was already discussed like 4 or 5 times, but yea that really kills my fucking autism. It drives me into an autistic REEEEE spree. I can't handle it.

hax

I fucking love you

This, especially when
OMG GUISE SOME L33T HAXXORS JUST TOOK DOWN BLIZZARD SERVERS

*I expect people to not post related to the topic things*

Stuff like this makes me think that the only people who buy into PC garbage are really dragging the bottom of the barrel mentally, but that also there is a proportionally significant 'bottom', which makes it mandatory for the rest of the whole to comply or be whined into submission. Ironically, if everyone else just told them to shut their retarded mouths it wouldn't be an issue, but that never happens because the bottom dwellers are the only ones who lack enough awareness and respect to not understand that they're wrong in attempting to force others to behave how they deem acceptable. Its a real conundrum, but I think augmented reality tech will solve this, once we can mute people in real life, the angry stupid 'bottom's will be excommunicated from the entirety of society, and we can all enjoy ourselves in our own private communication utopia. There won't even be the threat of getting fired, because of inevitable universal income, and the lack of a need for bosses and companies to help professionals and creators to connect and network. Really really looking forward to the future.

This argument is retarded.
It's just a generic term for categorizing the main suite of tactics a party member provides to their group.

So you like pink moontoons, don't ya, fuckboi?

10/10 will use to trigger fags in the future

Lore.

But we co-opted "fam" and "tbh".

It's ours now, just like how we took back Pepe.

Clip when it's clearly a magazine

If you want a shorter term just say mag

You didn't co-opt anything, you just sound like a retard

the term "imba" actually makes me genuinely angry

that almost sounds as pretentious and dumb as hegelian dialectics

i shiggy diggy doo, famalamadingdong

I don’t understand the context of these, but I love them to death. So it’s a touhou character drawn to interpret an engrish translation of a preexisting chinese phrase, or did the drawings come first and the translations are just wrong?

Normalfags are just laughing/angry that they spat on a meme they liked.
And what the fuck is posting here going to do? Normalfags don't know shit about 8ch despise all media drama about it.

Drawing and chinese text comes at the same time, the artist tries to translate his own subtitles for the images and and it just comes out like that.

...

...

It was ok.

...

...

...

...

Boy am I glad I've never heard it before

no, you're an autist, it was just short for mobiles and it's fine to refer to objects that are mobile, like mobs.

...

with or without nuts

Thats offensive I'm a metroidvania, and so is my entire family. I demand you aplogize for your sins.

its tunes
haven't you watched the berensteins gate?

"proc"

I don't understand it myself but I feel hostile against people who use the words "toon". I just feel disgusted by such people

...

I hate the term, granted I've only heard it once or twice.

What's wrong with proc? What would you rather call it?

Kill yourself

I don't know but it sounds bad.

I just looked it up. Apparently it stands for "Programmed Random Occurrance".

All those years in WoW and I never knew.

I never heard it until I recently started playing Warframe.

...

...

...

...

But it does mean something, it's just misused. The original meaning was a person who is such a giant piece of shit that he makes other people not even want to play the game at all.

What's wrong with ELO?

I've been seeing that thumbnail on youtube too much, how much gold did those fuckers pay to shill that video?

Jesus Christ man, fucking fat people

Casual pls leaf

Not my fault the word bazooka sounds so cool

...

...

...

Hey! Hey! That airplane is an antique!

LOL!

I'm wondering where you're going with this one. Because it's a name, not an acronym?

I agree, that word is problematic.
On that note, it's not a game term, but my most hated word is 'problematic.'

As far as games go I'm not bothered by much besides 'toon' and 'mob' which have already been covered, but I'm starting to be irritated by "game feel."

I don't like how many goons are using Holla Forums now. This image board likes anime, and you will too as long as you're posting on it, filthy goon.

The best way to deal with goons is to keep posting lots of triggering images, and nothing triggers a goon more than anime. Keep doing what you do best, anons. When you feel like there are goons nearby, post the smuggest, snuggest anime grill you can find. We'll defeat them by simply being ourselves.

I can't post one right now, because I'm using Tor

Hey newfriend, enjoy your stay, Just dont post okay? It'll really single you out untill you know what the fuck youre talking about.

Aaaaw, is the little weebcuck triggered? You can always go watch your moontoons at your safe space, >>>/a/ .

Only MMO is makes sense for.

It's called food.
If you call it anything other than that, kill yourself

Toon, mod, aggro, toxic.

Hang anyone that uses these terms.

I'm not bothered by people using fam as much, it feels like saying bud or pal.

Why?

As in the target for an AI's attacks, or as in hostility/animosity displayed by someone?

What's wrong with mod and aggro?

Your mod aggro against toons is pretty toxic.

The only term that makes me autism-rage is nutbladder.

Oh man my nutbladder is oozin' a jerkin' ya know what im sayin'???
what the fuck does that word mean

I feel like moontoons is an appropriate merge of the terms moon runes and Chinese/gook cartoons 10/10 fam

"mob" has been used in every MMO under the sun because MMO playerbases include older folks.

...

This is so colossally wrong it hurts. The trademark of anime is the inability to be nuanced, with expressions so exaggerated they're meaningless to anyone not on the autism spectrum.

"Mob" just means "mobile" so it's fully apt to use the term in MineCraft to refer to mobile units in a mostly-static world. It means the same thing.

Might as well get pissed off at somebody using the word "player" because they didn't invent the word.

Gank

wew

Someone's projecting.

He's shitposting to a feral degree

firestab

Remove hair from most animu characters and you can't even tell the people apart from each other.
Heck theres often not much difference between male and female besides maybe hair or eyelashes.

You haven't watched very much anime then.

Jesus, that's like calling ME!ME!ME! anime.

It's an entire feature film animated in Japan. It's Anime.

All of this looks the same

Who are you trying to prove yourself to?

You didn't even post animes with different art styles at all

Here is one you should have posted you you damn Mongolian

Who cares? It's been a term in MMOs for over a decade.

Thats yamato 2199 not interstella.

Because it's an actual system designed specifically for 1v1, not any ranked competition.

Anime is just animation shortened you fucking autist.

You're blind then.

The only one that looks different is the last one

you are retarded

...

do guys know the difference between style and design?

here, here are 3 different looking animes

I thought "mob" stood for "mobile object."

Got anymore nonlewd Marty pics?

That one was surprisingly pretty good for a children's anime, and literally the ONLY movie in existence about a carnivore brought up by herbivores that realizes it cannot survive without eating meat.

What's the anime in the first pic though?

Mind Game (2004)

For someone who really hates animes I sure do fine the only good ones or at least bizarre ones

"Zip" did nothing wrong.

Lots of variety, but also a lot of similar-looking images. does it better; smaller sets of images make it harder to skim over and possibly miss the differences.

Everything's nonlewd if you crop correctly! I don't save gay porn, though.

WoW players say toon and mob.

other than WoW players and MMO players that left WoW to play other interim novelties, I don't know any other people who say "toon" or mob to their character or enemies.

As a genre definition, it is as worthless as MOBA, and as far as I'm aware, it's mainly popularized on NeoFAG.

Never heard of it. And MOBA's just the normalfag-friendly alias for ASSFAGGOTS.

...

(Nice)
Wasn't gank monkey phonics at one point? Like tbh. smh, fam, etc. ?

I always thought it was short for Go Around 'N Kill.
I did know one guy who used gank to say someone swiped something from him
