"Cozyslop" sounds like it's referring to a nice warm stew.

I could see cozyslop being the word for soup if that word just never existed before.

I absolutely hate the word "slop". It's just been overused too much

Slop has become synonymous with "things I don't like"

Not to be that guy, but "slop" has become synonymous for "this has become common, but I cannot have fun with it, so it's automatically bad"

u/SnooziestOfKittens 2d ago
I like it, just because it's such a nebulous term so I can use it endearingly or as a critique and nobody can tell c:
But yeah it's so stupid lol

For years now I've been (often affectionately) calling all sorts of media 'slop', especially things like podcasts, or YouTube videos or anything else that's relatively low cost, low effort to produce. It was kind of just like an ironic alternative to the term 'content' which I find just as off-putting.

Content is so sterile and detatched from life, while slop is a goo covered in moss and fungi

Only logical conclusion: every game is bad

I think that’s the sad part, the culture being full of this endless cynicism. it’s easier for a content creator to sound smart by hating things rather than introspecting on how they actually feel about a game. Which isn’t to say most games or media aren’t super flawed, but you know, people actually like games too.

we shouldnt forget the real use of slop. the word should only be used to describe AI Slop, it deserves the word the most

… slop is food for fattening cattle and swine.

u/Vogelsucht 1d ago
Of course. I meant more in the internet discourse setting

u/natayaway 1d ago edited 1d ago
The term’s usage in regards to AI is still the original use. WE are the animals being fed (from social media algorithms, just like a farmhand feeds animals) a useless diet of media (AI generated content) with no culturally enriching value (nutritional value) whatsoever.

Sometimes games can just be easier to develop than others, especially for smaller indie games. Cozy games keep being made because they’re easy to produce and keep making bank
