I sometimes hear gamer videos refer to brief frame drops, short stalls, and similar discontinuities as hitches. Also game developers I've worked with, including hitches in UI.
This is misleading. A Let's Play is usually intended primarily as entertainment, not as a kind of guide, per the definition of "walkthrough" given here: A description of the gameplay experience for a level or playthrough, intended to guide players who are unsure how to complete it. There is typically no intent to guide players at all, especially in the case of blind LPs. WP Ludicer (talk) 14:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yo, why'd you delete my suggestion? I still think it should be mentioned that the list is a non-comprehensible one. Adding a "dynamic list" banner like in List of Internet phenomena would be a good idea, because not all gaming terms in existence are on this list, no? Just thought it'd be a good idea.

A "Crutch" can be defined as a piece of equipment or something similar, that can help players excel past their usual amount of skill. The term is usually used in a derogatory way, Example: "That guy is using a shotgun crutch". In games like "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six" some players may find using a shotgun to be a "Crutch".
(Authors note) I was surprised to see "Crutch" wasn't on this list because I've have used the term a lot, and I've also "Shotgun-Crutched" a lot in other games. Jaxs-Sauce (talk) 02:00, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
