Epic Games

Definition

The video game company behind Fortnite that became a lightning rod for gamer controversy due to frequent game changes, competitive scene drama, and their aggressive battle with app stores. Known for making decisions that simultaneously print money while enraging their most dedicated players. They're like that friend who keeps changing the rules mid-game because they own the board.

Example Usage

"Epic Games just added another feature nobody asked for while ignoring the bugs we've been complaining about for months."

Essentially a very organized hoarder that can retrieve anything you need in milliseconds, assuming you ask nicely in SQL.

add-ins

Software plug-ins that extend the functionality of a larger application, like giving your Excel spreadsheet superpowers it never asked for. These little code parasites attach themselves to host programs to add features, automate tasks, or generally make your life easier—or introduce delightful new bugs.

Processing data closer to where it's generated instead of sending it to a faraway data center, because apparently the cloud wasn't edgy enough. It's like moving the kitchen closer to the dining table so your food doesn't get cold.
