    Rizz = chaRISma

    Use it the way your parents would use “game”.

      Ok so it’s like this::

      Did you win the rizz?

      This meat is a little rizzy.

      Don’t play rizzes with me.

      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

      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.

        It also does damage to you as the person sitting in front of the screen whenever you disappoint Kim!

        Heard of the name but never really checked it. Reading the wiki, my idea wouldn’t achieve a 1/100 of the depth this game has to offers. Very impressive game .

              Ah, I didn’t pay attention to the instance you were posting from. I already frequent several of the comms on dbzero and like half of the games in my library are pirated but thanks for the kind offer.

          If you’re interested then you should definitely give it a shot. There’s no combat - all your “battles” are just conversations 😅

        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.

            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.

                Beans do be having a good taste in art. Especially, lemmy beans. Stress based Automatic drawing is the future of modern art. /j

    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.

    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!!!

    Rizz was the final straw for me. I no longer have any interest in attempting to understand today’s youth.

    They just need to shut up and get off my lawn.

      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.

    Rizz at least makes some sense as a shortened version of charisma.

    I was kinda worried for a while that since kids these days don’t really have music as a tool to rebel against their parents, and as for shocking via clothing or something like goth or satanism… they’re just recycling 80s and 90s all over again. So how are they gonna do it?

    Not so worried anymore. They always find something. And not just from language. The ways to be fucking idiots are endless and as a really novel thing, kids these days go up to 30 year olds.

    Has anyone ever found a slang term coined in the last decade that they unironically enjoy using?
