Comment on 'Friendslop' dominated 2025 by proving time and time again that graphics are overrated
Grapho@lemmy.ml 10 months agoYeah, I see many people using the name without apparent malice but it feels inappropriate. Slop is low effort bullshit designed to capture the biggest market for the lowest cost, with little artistic vision. I don’t get that impression from most, if any, of these games.

This is also the first I’ve ever heard the term in any context so I’m hesitant to believe the author when they say “it looks like it’s sticking”…

I’ve heard it previously, the first time I couldn’t help but crack up because the term was so petulant and asinine. ‘They’re playing cheap games with low res graphics with their friends and having fun, someone make them stop!!’ is the vibe I get every time I hear it, and it’s still a hilarious term to me.

I’ve heard it for a while now, and when I first heard it I know precisely what it meant with no explanation. It really is a “good” (linguistically only) word.

It’s unfortunately more widely used in the dev space too
