A term used to describe members of the games industry that use patches for their games to reduce the value of those games in order to sell a solution to the problem they create.
This can be done by introducing new or additional loot boxes and/or microtransactions to games that already have an up-front price tag, or by downgrading a product by stripping features out of it after the initial sale so that they can be reintroduced at a later date for either a monetary value or a PR boost some time after the initial backlash has died down.
Sam: "My 17-year-old game now requires an inferior launcher to run and I can't play any of my favorite game modes offline, all because the company that made it is trying to force everyone to buy Warcraft 3 Reforged! Even some of the graphics options, like character shadows, aren't available to me any more!"
James: "Activision/Blizzard's surprise mechanics at work."
Sam: "I used to really enjoy Trials Rising, but now that loot boxes are a thing, the rest of the game just doesn't seem fun any more. I'm constantly feeling like I need to spend money just so my character looks half as good as the others and there's no guarantee that I'll get the thing I actually want in order to do that."
James: "Looks like Ubisoft's surprise mechanics really hurt this game, huh?"
Sam: "Is that your word for loot boxes?"
James: "No. It's the staff at Ubisoft that introduced them."
Sam: "I'm so sick of EA and 2K sticking loot boxes into their yearly releases of FIFA and NBA! The rest of the game isn't even that good any more, like it's about as meaningful as the brand on the top of a slot machine at Las Vegas!"
James: "You're not wrong. There are probably more surprise mechanics working on these games than actual game developers now."

Quantum Fetish Mechanics is a rule which states that any conceivable fetish which can be invented or conceived already exists on the Internet, and may have been brought into existence simply by a person thinking of it.
"Oh dude, Interracial elderly clown S&M would be so fucked up, imagine if something like that existed!" "Well, it does now, according to Quantum Fetish Mechanics"

Also known as Quantum Handjob Theory, Quantum Handjob Mechanics is a branch of physics providing a mathematical description of the dual particle-like and wave-like behavior and interaction of the hand and penis.
Quantum Handjob Mechanics describes the time evolution of physical systems via a mathematical structure called the Cum Function. The Cum Function encapsulates the probability that an orgasm is to be reached in a given state at a given time.
Quantum Handjob Mechanics is closely intertwined with the Hymenberg Uncertainty Principle, which relates the fundamental principle that it is impossible to simultaneously measure the present proximity to an orgasm while "determining" the future momentum of a subsequent orgasm with an arbitrary degree of accuracy and certainty.
"Dude, I'm failing Naughty Physics."
"Why?"
"I just can't figure out these equations for Quantum Handjob Mechanics. I'm going to fail that test on three dimensional cum functions..."

You probably have made over 3 expensive builds, scours around group buys, have no money, favorited over 50 keyboard/switch sellers, and you hate mx browns(as you should my objective opinion is great), you are subscribed to all types of mechanical keyboard youtube channels, overall channels, build channels, sound test videos, and all in between. You probably have a very specific preference on what you love in a keyboard, and if someone robbed your house, all you would care about would be your keyboards.
Are you a Mechanical Keyboard Enthusiast?
