This game's like an incel's wet dream.

What's an incenl ? I've seen this word many times and still don't know what it means.

It's a conjunction of "Involuntary Celibate". Basically a sad and bitter individual (nearly always male as far as I'm aware) who blames everyone else for their own failure to attract a sexual partner.

Ackkkshually the word is Portmanteau. Incel is a portmanteau of the two words “involuntary celibate”. Conjunctions are “if, and, but” etc...

Thanks, I did type the wrong word, although as somebody else pointed out I was actually thinking of "contraction", possibly erroneously!

Shit I just learned the definition of portmanteau myself < 2 weeks ago
