Humor, jokes, memes about TTRPGs

I'll start:
Your turn
Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names
Reroot tree: Tree digs itself out of the ground, walks to another location and takes root, as if it's always been there.
Heap sort: More advanced technique for which Reroot tree is a prerequisite for some reason. Arranges assortments of things into neat piles with only one kind of object per pile. Very useful when looking for things in treasure chambers.
"I cast heap sort on the owlbear."
"..."
"The owlbear is sorted into neat piles, the first containing hair/nails/claws/beaks, the second feathers, the third bone, the fourth meat, the fifth blood.."
Null pointer – sends the victim on a quest they can never fulfill.
spawn daemon
Force Merge
This one’s not quite CS but oh well. Spell check - After a series of unfortunate accidents at the magical university, all novel spells must be submitted to the administration in writing to ensure their safety before first casting.
Root access - Access to the Underdark druid communication network, which is transmitted through a continent-wide system of interconnected tree roots.
Command: Line - A creative use of the command spell that forces an affected creature to spend their turn forming or waiting in an orderly line.
Neural net - The system of control used by an elder brain to control and coordinate illithids under its influence.
Power word: Infinite Recursion
Spoofing
Cryptojacking
Bluetooth sounds like a negative effect. Similar to using Bluetooth in real life.
Authentication tokens - Some heirloom jewelry or letter of permission from the local royal family used to prove you are on their mission.
Gap analysis - when your party finds a crevasse or pit and determines if they can jump across.
Buffer - party member who casts buffs, usually a bard.
Microservices - when you barter with gnomes to repair your gear.
Ruby gems
Memory leaks
Layers of abstraction
Master branch
Void function
Hyperconvergence or hypervisor.
Lossy compression feels like cheating:
Silicium Bug = A insect creature made of quartz.
Gate Array = An ancient holy temple with partially defunct portals of unknown origin.
Mail storm
Perhaps not that deep "cs" but still :D
Big-o and Little-o notation
FIFO and LIFO
I always found "The Perceptron" to have such a badass name…. 😅 (Math part was annoying though…)
Bounds execption: Allows larger objects to fit in smaller containers, ritual spell effective for 1 day, can be upcast to increase amount of "overfill", some check when retrieving the item for a chance of "corruption" (small chance to retrieve a different item, or have the "overfill" become something different like have the outer edge of a bar of gold be meat)
Paralellization: High level time magic, Allows the target multiple turns to be taken simultaneously, but an equivalent cooldown afterwards (waiting for all threads or jobs to return before being able to continue), so 3 turns at once means 2 turns the target can't do anything after.
Split brain configuration: Allows focusing on multiple concentration checks/spells at once. This could also be called paralellization, or multithreaded.
Pass By Reference enchantment: requires two identical items. Once enchanted, changes to one happen to both. Room for all sorts of shenanigans.
Private field: cast on an area to prevent entry/visibility into it by unauthorized entities. Sounds inside are not audible to unauthorized entities outside of it.
