    Rizz = chaRISma

      Ok so it’s like this::

      Did you win the rizz?

      This meat is a little rizzy.

      Don’t play rizzes with me.

        this meat has a rizzy taste.

      I saw this elsewhere, but the term rizz does imply the existence of other words to shorten all the typical rpg attributes.

      Unsure what they would all be, but I’m thinking these other four seem pretty easy to agree upon:

      Toosh = constitution

      Tren = strength

      Teri = dexterity

      Telli = intelligence

      Ah. It’s a lot more tolerable knowing that. Now what about “drip”?

        Drip refers to how someone dresses. Someone who is drippy has a lot of style.

        Also, this has been in circulation for a few years now.

      It’s started to be used as in “flirt” though, as a verb (or at least my young cousin has used it this way that I’ve heard). As in, you rizz someone -> you flirt with someone. It sounds really strange when you know it (used to) mean charisma, but whatever.

        I think it’s short for rolling charisma on them since D&D has become a pop culture source now

        Especially with all the memes about horny bards and reminders that persuasion is not rolling for mind control.

    Long ago, I had had an idea of an rpg where you play as an introvert with sever anxiety. Each dialogue is a fight.

    New style learned : young talk.

    Effects in dialogue : cause cringe status effect to surrounding characters if they are young adults or younger, otherwise cause confusion.

      Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.

      Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you’re a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.

      You should try it if you haven’t already.

        I have quite a lot of ideas and whil I am an amateur programmer,such games need stellar writing to be worth it and I doubt I can pull it off. Also, while the art doesn’t need to be very fancy, I can’t draw for beans.

          You’d be drawing for humans, though. Beans rarely play video games.

            I actually rely on a very human effect to scribble as a de-stress mechanism. I paint and remove random lines until pareidolia kicks in and I see a form in the nonsense. I then just add eyes and a mouth and some additional touches . Sometimes, I end up with some nice character concepts I wish I could use.

    Every generation does this. The boomers had their fair share of dumb slang terms as well but for some reason everyone loves to hate the next generation for doing the exact same thing.

        Honestly this is just the process of language evolving. Some slang words are born and fade into obsecurity once the novelty wears off, others get used so much that they become part of the language for ages to come. Some even become formal terms given enough time.

    Rizz is a shortened word for ‘charisma’ and specifically for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication.

    I used to be with “it,” then they went and changed what was “it.” Now what used to be “it” is lame, and what is “it” is new and scary. And it will happen to you too!!!

      Floating toilet heads flirt as a method of stealing your food, which only happens in Ohio as thats where a lot of cryptids are supposed to come from, and also have voluptuous posteriors, an ultra-capitalist competitive outlook, and I am so confident this is the truth I will mock your relative performance to mine as inadequate and, finally, a dog joins in as a non sequitur because humans are doing it and using synecdoche I am implying you are also just a sheep.

        I am not fond of slang, but even I have to admit it is a fun word. It also has a great meaning. To throw something with great speed in any general direction but usually quite far.
