After the earlier thread on Horizon I've seen this term pop up more. What do you think Era?

"A slay, yet basick" the next big way to describe games?

I think it means ''it slays" i.e. it's very good yet it's uncomplicated? Is that right? Why do we have to spell basic like that? Why is that the best way to describe games? What if they are bad yet complex?
I'm sure it doesn't actually mean anything, the dude in that OP is just some entertaining combination of a terrible editor and under the influence.
Is this the embodiment ofhttps://www.resetera.com/threads/that-holy-shit-im-old-moment.36916/ this thread?
I mean..
It means it's technologically and artistically exciting, but not that great as a game.
But.. "a slay, yet basick" isn't something you'd ever catch me saying.

I can't tell if this is a drunk thread, or someone commenting on a drunk posting trend taking it seriously.
It's a newish Era meme. Don't worry about it.
You'll see people run it into the ground in no time.
How about using terms common to the English language instead of vaguely defined new-speak that hardly anyone understands or can even define properly to make one's point understood? I think that's pretty Basik.

No idea what rub hive means. For me that game was something that I bounced off of until a month or so ago. Just got done replaying a bunch of Witcher 3 and went back to HZD and realized that I should be playing it exactly like a ranged/gadget focused version of the Witcher. Started having a lot of fun with it.
I'm not sure if I had a mental block playing it or if the game didn't do a great job of explaining how you were supposed to take it on or what. All I know is I needed another game to get me to see how it was meant to be played.
It's good, yet unremarkable in a way

What the heck is "slay"??? What does "basik" mean???
And why do some people always say "YAS QUEEN!!!"???

FINALLY! A COMPREHENSIBLE ANSWER! thx.
Now I understand the HZD example.
If you ever have to ask if a certain saying or slang is the "next thing" the answer is most assuredly "no".
Hopefully not, first time hearing it and I'm already pissed off at how stuoid it sounds. Saying anything "slays" is ridiculous but misspelling basic as basik on purpose just takes it to the next level of annoyingness.
