coined the term "fuck-em-up" to refer to any game that invites you to act like a psycho. Its less a genre and more a mentality of rewarding the player to act wildly aggressive. Revengence, Ninja Gaiden, God Hand, and some DMC games fall into this category.
Wo Long, Bloodborne and Pizza Tower are all Fuck-Em-Ups. Constant aggressive forward pressure. Naruto running into a horde of enemies. Do not look backward, that shit is for cowards.
So there's a Polish word "chmura", means a cloud but usually in a "raincloud" kinda deal, a darker cloud. And Russian from the same Proto-Slavic word has an adjective "хмурый" (hmuryj), which means "gloomy". Interestingly specifically "хмуриться", the verb form, means "knit one's brows". So kinda a "negative mood" word.
So from what I understand from reading about the origins of these words, the Russian word also initially meant "a gloomy cloud", which was via a metaphor transferred to mean a human mood, and then mostly got stuck at that meaning. You can still call various gloomy things "хмурый", but it's now making parallels to a gloomy mood and the cloud meaning is pretty much lost.
