By creating a direct correlation between in-game power and time spent grinding, every player has the potential to reach the top 20% (although the Pareto principle will still apply to the amount of time spent grinding). According to the Pareto principle, players with better aim, faster reactions, or more extensive tactical knowledge will quickly dominate the entire game, frustrating the now-powerless vast majority. The first explanation is that it helps ensure a level playing field. Criticism Įven though grinding has the potential to cause players to stop being entertained and can be seen as contradictory to good game design, it has been justified in several different ways. Level increases often come with additional statistical boosts and new abilities which allow the player to defeat stronger enemies, which in turn rewards and encourages grinding. Players may also grind simply to become better at the game, gaining experience and leveling up. "Interesting" content is distinct from merely new content which is too similar to previous content to be considered interesting by the player. If the player experiences all of a level's interesting content before reaching the next objective, but is not powerful enough to proceed, grinding may be the only available game-play option. Due to the controversial subject of grinding, these workarounds can be frowned upon.Ī need to grind may result from lack of game content, the inability to battle stronger enemies, or the desire to collect more in-game items or currency. This is usually considered a form of hacking or exploiting by game developers when playing multiplayer online games, these actions may result in a ban. Some players may program scripts, bots, macros, and other automation tools to perform repetitive tasks.
Some games may also require grinding to unlock additional features or items. Grinding in the MMORPG genre can be advantageous, using the same strategy to repeatedly kill AI-controlled monsters to advance one's character level and unlock content.
Some games, especially free-to-play games, allow players to bypass grinding by paying additional fees. Others embrace grinding and consider it is an inherent feature in all video games. Some consider grinding to be a symptom of uninspired game design and do not enjoy it. Grinding is a controversial subject among video game players. Alternatively, players might enjoy performing repetitive tasks as a way of relaxing, especially if the task has a persistent positive result.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: and you might like to check out the growing collection of curated slang words for different topics over at Slangpedia. There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it. Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they're relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.ĭue to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary.
