A taihenge (ããã¸ãã²ã¼ - taihen, Japanese for rough + game) describes a game that is janky, unpolished, and usually unpopular, that is still beloved by a niche community. A taihenge is not to the extremes of kusoge, but still is not considered a good/great game by most people.
The term was developed in the English-speaking world to combat the overabundant misuse of the word kusoge outside of Japan for any game that is a little rough around the edges, especially when it came to early games in a genre that did not yet have any of the staple features and core gameplay cemented, as well as experimental games and budget indie titles. The word and concept is slowly seeing adoption internationally, including in Japan.
This girl told me she was a connoisseur of kusoge but it turned out nothing she played was all that terrible. I'd classify them as taihenge at worst.
Far tastier but likely less nutritious than the actual Cookie Crisp cereal, it's when you break up cookies into a bowl of milk and eat it like cereal
She shouldn't be eating DIY cookie crisp every morning with her diabetes!
YouTube Channel Operator; a less cringey term for someone who makes YouTube videos and runs an account than "YouTuber". Typically pronounced as each letter, some choose to pronounce it "yee-ko" instead.
Why does every YCO make the same face in their videos?
