Computer science terms that sound like fantasy RPG abilities
I’ll start:
- Firewall
- Virtual Memory
- Single source of truth

Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names
malloc
Tell me that isn’t the name of a demon.
Ethernet
spawn daemon
Force Merge
Disconnect Peripheral: Removes someone’s limb.
Critical Vulnerability: Increases critical hit rate.
Memory buffer: Allows you yo remember things better.
Reroot tree: Tree digs itself out of the ground, walks to another location and takes root, as if it’s always been there.
Heap sort: More advanced technique for which Reroot tree is a prerequisite for some reason. Arranges assortments of things into neat piles with only one kind of object per pile. Very useful when looking for things in treasure chambers.
“I cast heap sort on the owlbear.”
“…”
“The owlbear is sorted into neat piles, the first containing hair/nails/claws/beaks, the second feathers, the third bone, the fourth meat, the fifth blood…”

I’ll just throw out there the old school
halt and catch fire(also the name of a really good show I need to rewatch and actually finish sometime) but also who can’t lovelp0 on fire?
