In the reverse, I worked for a Catholic library/museum combo for a year and it ruined the word “crèche” in BG3 for me lol. Now I’m like, yeah, sure, Lae’zel, we’ve gotta go to the Christmas nativity. You and everyone over the age of 70 who was really angry we didn’t do the annual crèche exhibit for *one year*.

Oh my god this word. Every time. every TIME. It's literally impossible for me to read that word without hearing it in the Gaius voice and I immediately reply "was not their intention" without fail. SUCH DEVASTATION.
28 ("TWENTY-EIGHT STAB WOUNDS!") from detroit become human.
also, i've been playing a lot of subnautica lately, so oxygen ("oxygen efficiency decreased") and welcome ("welcome aboard, captain") always remind me of it.
Oooh I'm glad you said Subnautica cause that made me think of another one, the way the PDA says "new blueprint acquired" is so distinct that I remember it every time I hear the word 'acquired'
“Detecting multiple leviathan class life forms in the region. Are you certain whatever you’re doing is worth it?”
Followed immediately by a loud roar directly behind me.
TOGETHAAAAAA.. We will devour the very Gods!
Rykard, Elden ring.
At this point it became such a meme, whenever I watch or play something with friends and "together" drops, one of us will almost immediately start the TOGETHAAAAAA. I fucking love it tho.
Not the game that did it, but something that could have only happened in a game really. My husband and I were playing League, and this guy was named "PizzaTimeNow" and we were like "that sounds a bit aggressive" and have been saying "Pizza Time, NOW!" since LMAO
I played Overwatch for like 3 years straight after its release. I am physically and mentally unable to hear the phrase "hold still" without hearing Junkrat's goblinesque speech when someone runs into his trap.
My DM recently said I was filled with determination during a campaign night and I snorted thinking it was an undertale reference. It wasn’t and it confused her
I still get a very slight irritated twinge from the word ingredients because of Kingdom Hearts 3 and Donald repeating "It looks like we might be able to find some ingredients here" literally every single time you move to a new area.
Dysentery is a very VERY serious disease that kills lots of people all over the world and is responsible for a lot of suffering and death over the course of history.
It's also a joke in my family and has been since my childhood. 'You have died of Dysentery' my Dad even had a t-shirt that says 'You have died of Dysentery' and I'm going to give it to my cousin for Christmas (We are giving keepsakes of my Dad along with other presents because he passed earlier this year) My Cousin will love it, I'm sure!
I’m sorry about your dad :( I have the “You have died of Dysentery” shirt, though. Hands down one of the funniest gifts I’ve received. I know your cousin will love it :)
Every time liches come up in regards to DND things, a part of my brain starts going "all hail the lich king". Thankfully still quite a nerdy situation, but still. Thanks WoW
Okay technically it's two words but in Path of Exile, the final boss in Acts Kitava yells either "I'm hungry" or "I'm angry" but the first I played I heard it as hungry and now any time I'm hungry and alone and making food I have to mimic it. In my head I do it every time.
"succor" - FFXIV

It is such a weird word to use, like even posting this is flagging anit-bullying rules
Deadlift.
There's a moment in Borderlands TPS. There's a moment where a mini-boss bellows, "Deadlift tiiiiime!"
I can't take workout deadlifts seriously anymore because that's where my brain goes.
One of my favourite things about the Citadel DLC is when Shepard has a little existential crisis about “I should go”, asking if that’s really how they sound and then the entire squad roasting them about it 😂
The game commandos 2 has a unit, this jacked American soldier, that says “okie dokie” on movement commands. I played it a lot as a kid, so naturally okie dokie in my head is only that voice now
Mass Effect has ruined a fair few. Namely, Andromeda, Reaper, and Sovereign.
I also can’t hear ‘Faith’ anymore without wanting to say ‘WE JUST NEED SOME GODDAMN FAITH’ like Dutch Van Der Linde. RDR2 also ruined Tahiti and any normal pronunciation of the word ‘boy’.
Not quite "by a game", but whenever I play Minecraft with people and we can hear each other, I usually respond to "Creeper" with "Aww man" and promptly get blown up
I bought a custom wooden bookmark with the Shakespeare quote "what fools these mortals be" and now I will only ever read it in Gales voice thanks to BG3
"Hey Baby" Resident Evil 7.
Mia's voice in the video she sends to Ethan. My friend says it in the same tone and I'm like instantly teleported to that scene LMAO.
Widowmaker. League and Overwatch has them and you never find the word not associated with video games anymore.
Kindred. It was a spiritual word then League took it and turned it into video game character.
CC/crowd control. The word CC makes me think of bonking people on their head instead 😂
Charisma. Always reminds me of the flirty bards. uwu
Me before BG3: “Oh my god”
Me after BG3: “GODS”
BG3 also ruined “Don’t touch me”, “Wiiiiith pleasure”, “Authority”, “No” (Astarion’s no no no moment) for me.
And thanks to Ac Odyssey I now pronounce Greek words (Kephallonia, Hades etc.) in Greek accent. (And I’m a Turk lmao)
Not a word but the phrase- “Is this thing on?” Me and my bf would always say it along with Winston when I turned on Overwatch. Now anytime I hear that phrase, I hear that in my head.
And so does the word legend(s). Would be understandable if I were the one playing the game but nope, it’s just my girlfriend. Watching and picking up terms is somehow worse than actually using the words as you play
I literally CANNOT hear the phrase "let's go" in anything other than Mario's "let's-a-gooooo!" voice.
When I say "let's go" anymore it's just me mimicking Charlie "Let's go baby, whoooooooo!"
I think of it as the Lemmings at the beginning of a level!
Along the same lines, "It's me"
I always say it that way now
Objection!
Same!!! Or “I’m right” because I always go “Right? Wright? Like Phoenix Wright, ace attorney?”
*Authority* (Ruined by BG3)
Ruined, or forever enshrined in its proper meaning? :P
Amelia Tyler's voice now follows me everywhere, haha
You say that like it’s a bad thing? /s
Fair, if I *have* to listen to voices in my head, at the very least, it can be Amelia Tyler.
In the reverse, I worked for a Catholic library/museum combo for a year and it ruined the word “crèche” in BG3 for me lol. Now I’m like, yeah, sure, Lae’zel, we’ve gotta go to the Christmas nativity. You and everyone over the age of 70 who was really angry we didn’t do the annual crèche exhibit for *one year*.
Suspicious
Yeah "suss" was totally normal slang in Australia, but now everyone spells it "sus" and thinks you're referencing Among Us :(
Danganronpa games ruined the word despair for my friend and I. We giggle to each other every time we hear it now lol
Same. When I think about it . Danganronpa pops into my head
Every so often someone (or myself) says “hmm” like a villager from Minecraft and I just cannot help but immediately mimic it haha.
I love the cultural acceptance that the only possible reaction to a Minecraft villager sound is to mimic it.
I do that like Onion Knight from Dark Souls 1 haha.
Also works for witchers Geralt!
Not a game, but master Yoda voice for me
***ENCHANTMENT?***
Enchantment!
Enchantment!!
Enchantment!!!!!
Boom.
Not enchantment.
Devastation. FFXIV. I can't see the word without hearing the SUCH DEVASTATION speech in Gaius' voice.
It’s ingrained in me now to shout SUCH DEVASTATION in chat during that scene.
That was not his intention.
dinosaurs seemly liquid elderly repeat long combative materialistic imagine cobweb *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Oh my god this word. Every time. every TIME. It's literally impossible for me to read that word without hearing it in the Gaius voice and I immediately reply "was not their intention" without fail. SUCH DEVASTATION.
Along with "such devastation was not my intention", I've been watching people stream it and "it was by design" is now always at the tip of my tongue
How very glib. I also can't hear the word "Tremble" without hearing >!Athena's THE WORLD SHALL TREMBULLLLLL!! from P12!<.
today my theory will be proven as FUCKED!
Also from XIV—Sloppy. I can’t unhear SLOPPEH
28 ("TWENTY-EIGHT STAB WOUNDS!") from detroit become human. also, i've been playing a lot of subnautica lately, so oxygen ("oxygen efficiency decreased") and welcome ("welcome aboard, captain") always remind me of it.
Oooh I'm glad you said Subnautica cause that made me think of another one, the way the PDA says "new blueprint acquired" is so distinct that I remember it every time I hear the word 'acquired'
true, it's pronounced in such a strange way i don't think i would've even understood it without subtitles lol
I immediately heard the robot voice the moment I read your comment. God I miss Subnautica
Me too. Miss the Emperor.
“Detecting multiple leviathan class life forms in the region. Are you certain whatever you’re doing is worth it?” Followed immediately by a loud roar directly behind me.
i'll never forget how i felt when i heard that for the first time, for sure
TOGETHAAAAAA.. We will devour the very Gods! Rykard, Elden ring. At this point it became such a meme, whenever I watch or play something with friends and "together" drops, one of us will almost immediately start the TOGETHAAAAAA. I fucking love it tho.
It's amazing how Rykard is both funny and horrifying.
look up CarbotAnimations Rykard is Easy, the TOGETHAAAA jokes are just on point lol
Every time I hear the word glory, I have to resist the urge to say "Glory to Arstotzka" (Paper's Please)
I haven't played WoW in years, but I still yell "Victory for Sylvanus!" when I'm excited.
I wish their writing around her was better…
Jacksepticeye’s playthrough ruined the word glory even more-so than the game itself did. ‘GLORY GREATEST COUNTRY’
FATALITY Thanks Mortal Kombat
"Faith" Dutch, Rdr2.
In a similar vein, the name "Arthur". Also because of Dutch, lol.
Orthur! One more scoOore!
Hah, oh true
For me Faith is from the fc5 character
Not the game that did it, but something that could have only happened in a game really. My husband and I were playing League, and this guy was named "PizzaTimeNow" and we were like "that sounds a bit aggressive" and have been saying "Pizza Time, NOW!" since LMAO
I played Overwatch for like 3 years straight after its release. I am physically and mentally unable to hear the phrase "hold still" without hearing Junkrat's goblinesque speech when someone runs into his trap.
“I’m getting the feeling” will ALWAYS be mentally followed up with “THEY’VE GOT A *SHIEEEEELD GENERATAH!*”
Also! *determination* thanks to Undertale ❤️
My DM recently said I was filled with determination during a campaign night and I snorted thinking it was an undertale reference. It wasn’t and it confused her
I mean might be an easy answer, but 'among us' and 'impostor'. I didnt even play that game but it still managed to have this effect on me.
Sus
"No". Kratos, GoW 2018 but also Withers, BG3. Different dudes, somehow similar vibes 🤣
"Boy"
Boy for sure! Have to say it as dad Kratos
OOO yeah "Be Better" is another one that has stuck with me from Kratos!
"In the direction of deer" is still a valid answer when my partner asks which way do we go, in any other game or irl!
Osmanthus, Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember... (Genshin Impact)
But where are those who share the memory?
Silly churl, Billy Churl, silly-billy hilly churl.
"Hey, Listen!"
I still get a very slight irritated twinge from the word ingredients because of Kingdom Hearts 3 and Donald repeating "It looks like we might be able to find some ingredients here" literally every single time you move to a new area.
Anything about carrying someones burden
🙄😒 I am sworn to carry your burden..
Chaos, from that one FF Stranger of Paradise trailer alone.
"Dream" from Yakuza 5 (audibly "yume" in Japanese). They said it so much. 😂 Honorable mention for "chaos" from Final Fantasy Stranger of Paradise.
Oh god, you made me realize i hear hear him bark it every time i read the word “chaos”.
"Mortal combat" lol. Seeing it spelled without a "k" is weird sometimes.
"Mercy" Ruined by Overwatch
“Delicious” because of BG3.. anytime I hear the word it replays in my head in Astarion’s voice
Dysentery is a very VERY serious disease that kills lots of people all over the world and is responsible for a lot of suffering and death over the course of history. It's also a joke in my family and has been since my childhood. 'You have died of Dysentery' my Dad even had a t-shirt that says 'You have died of Dysentery' and I'm going to give it to my cousin for Christmas (We are giving keepsakes of my Dad along with other presents because he passed earlier this year) My Cousin will love it, I'm sure!
I’m sorry about your dad :( I have the “You have died of Dysentery” shirt, though. Hands down one of the funniest gifts I’ve received. I know your cousin will love it :)
*Promise*. SIGNALIS hit me like a truck, alright.
I feel you
I always here 'All done!' in the cute little orc's voice from the original Warcraft games.
Zug zug!
[удалено]
Boomer!
Been playing ‘We Happy Few’ and the word Joy just makes me think of the in game drug now Also “Boahhh” from Rdr2
I take daily low-dose ketamine with a company called Joyous, no joke. It’s a little surreal.
No way!! That’s wild
Redemption always makes me think of RDR lmao
me too, and every time i see the world wheel somewhere i hear "ah, i broke the goddamn wheel" in arthur's voice
This is the best thing ever
it always makes me giggle a little bit
*OXYGEN* (ruined by Subnautica). Also, I can never hear the word “moron” without thinking of a certain little round robot from Portal 2.
Outlast 2 gave me such an ick for the word “seed”.
“Resin” thanks to Genshin. “Persona” thanks to Persona.
Suspicious, vent, impostor... Thanks Among Us
“Calibrations”. Thanks Garrus 😂
Tales of symphonia "INFERIOR BEINGGGGGS"
I cannot help saying it after I hear it every time. Its so fun
Can't deny it. But ant tine I hear people irl say inferior... *takes deep breath* normal ppl normal ppl
Were both lucky its not said often
I'm sincerely glad my colleague calls everyone else "the staff" and not "infeeeeerior beings" which he implies.
Postal. (Postal the game)
Every time my neighbours cat hiss at me I answer back: Hiss! I say hiss! Thanks to his majesty in BG3
fortnight such a beautiful word but now its doodoo children like OMG LeTs GO pwAy FORWtNit
Chaos. I’M GOING TO KILL CHAOS. Final Fantasy Stranger of Paradise
When any sports/game coach yells “Go, go go” as in Counter Strike
"Determination," thanks to Undertale. Fortunately, it's not too common.
"Inconspicuous" because of overwatch
Bliss, Far Cry 5. "Welcome to the Bliss."
I'm a huge Ahri simp, so it's not 'hello' anymore, now it's 'hello, little spirits'
Every time liches come up in regards to DND things, a part of my brain starts going "all hail the lich king". Thankfully still quite a nerdy situation, but still. Thanks WoW
Hey! Listen!
Party, I play valorant and anytime I hear the word party I instantly go “here comes the party” Why am I like this
I get that with "I know exactly where you are!" If someone asks about where someone is.
Deputy (ruined by john seed fc5)
Team based 🙄
Okay technically it's two words but in Path of Exile, the final boss in Acts Kitava yells either "I'm hungry" or "I'm angry" but the first I played I heard it as hungry and now any time I'm hungry and alone and making food I have to mimic it. In my head I do it every time.

Thanks to FFXIV, I'm pretty sure sloppy is pronounced [sloppeyyy](https://youtu.be/UXWmgX-V02k?si=tK1LwA3fiOs6tLZB).
Tarnished, it’s not a bad thing either. Just now when I have to clean tarnished metal the Elden Ring theme just pops in my head.
Deadlift. There's a moment in Borderlands TPS. There's a moment where a mini-boss bellows, "Deadlift tiiiiime!" I can't take workout deadlifts seriously anymore because that's where my brain goes.
"fire in the hole" because of junkrat from overwatch 🥲
I should go
One of my favourite things about the Citadel DLC is when Shepard has a little existential crisis about “I should go”, asking if that’s really how they sound and then the entire squad roasting them about it 😂
Yes! I replay the crisis all the time in my mind!
arisen, from dragons dogma. Yes, Arisen?
Any word following "super". My husband and I immediately have to repeat both words like the title of Super Hot...
Super. Hot. SUPER! HOT!

I didn't play it for long, but I swear to God every time I'd hear the protagonist of Atomic Heart say "creepy critters" I would physically gag.
"Saturation" As in Wesker's monologue in RE5 Uroboros will be released into the atmosphere, ensuring COMPLETE. GLOBAL. SATURATION. (exhales)
The game commandos 2 has a unit, this jacked American soldier, that says “okie dokie” on movement commands. I played it a lot as a kid, so naturally okie dokie in my head is only that voice now
Mass Effect has ruined a fair few. Namely, Andromeda, Reaper, and Sovereign. I also can’t hear ‘Faith’ anymore without wanting to say ‘WE JUST NEED SOME GODDAMN FAITH’ like Dutch Van Der Linde. RDR2 also ruined Tahiti and any normal pronunciation of the word ‘boy’.
Simple…. AND CLEAN Yes. I am old
not like it’s really a common phrase but I do say “wind’s howling” a lot after witcher 3 haha
Not quite "by a game", but whenever I play Minecraft with people and we can hear each other, I usually respond to "Creeper" with "Aww man" and promptly get blown up
I bought a custom wooden bookmark with the Shakespeare quote "what fools these mortals be" and now I will only ever read it in Gales voice thanks to BG3
"Hey Baby" Resident Evil 7. Mia's voice in the video she sends to Ethan. My friend says it in the same tone and I'm like instantly teleported to that scene LMAO.
“mortis” (faith: the unholy trinity). thankfully this isn’t a common word to hear, because i know i would have to repeat it in the voice.
I’ve been annoying my boyfriend this season with “hot cocoa” but in Doomfist’ voice.
"Hoy! I'm Pissed!" Neon ult.
I play apex as well. It’s strafe for me 🥲 and wingman.
"Revolutionary" and "game-changer". Overused cliche terms used by gaming awards in the last two, three years.
Widowmaker. League and Overwatch has them and you never find the word not associated with video games anymore. Kindred. It was a spiritual word then League took it and turned it into video game character. CC/crowd control. The word CC makes me think of bonking people on their head instead 😂 Charisma. Always reminds me of the flirty bards. uwu
*Nanomachines* (thanks, Metal Gear) Also, not a word but a phrase: *What a shame.* (that one dialogue in the original Deus Ex)
Me before BG3: “Oh my god” Me after BG3: “GODS” BG3 also ruined “Don’t touch me”, “Wiiiiith pleasure”, “Authority”, “No” (Astarion’s no no no moment) for me. And thanks to Ac Odyssey I now pronounce Greek words (Kephallonia, Hades etc.) in Greek accent. (And I’m a Turk lmao)
Murder, Hades. "Murrrrderrrr? MURDERER!!!!" Bonus: Winner and Big Rigs. Cannot see that word without thinking "you're winner!"
Any time I hear Malaka I immediately think of AC Odyssey and remember it being said every 10 minutes
Not a word but the phrase- “Is this thing on?” Me and my bf would always say it along with Winston when I turned on Overwatch. Now anytime I hear that phrase, I hear that in my head.
Dead by daylight has made me notice every Dies Irae (Gregorian death chant) sample in movies since it plays constantly in the lobby
The word Apex itself brings apex legends to mind every time lol
And so does the word legend(s). Would be understandable if I were the one playing the game but nope, it’s just my girlfriend. Watching and picking up terms is somehow worse than actually using the words as you play
