Where I grew up it was a common way of saying the game was fucking up. I assume because we all grew up with cds skipping and just transferred the verb to playstation games because of the disk. As an example is a thread from 2016 that talks about their ps2 games skipping:
Video games existed long before disc based music, so you’re attributing the words the wrong way. Games have always lagged, skipping is something different, and not the correct term, since it’s used for music. But yes of course people can use it to communicate still. But it’s gonna create issues since it’s just not the right word.
If anything we should be saying music lags, but that’s not a correct term either. Yes it makes sense, sort of, but yeah. There’s better ways to communicate the right meaning.
I mean, it literally is the correct term depending on where you are but you do you. Music cds skip as in they repeat a section over and over if you smudge or scratch them. I don’t know what to tell you if you haven’t seen it. Maybe listen to us older folks who were actually there?
lol, you’re the one saying that game skipping came AFTER music, clearly I’m older than you. Sounds like you were just using the wrong word and didn’t know, now you do.

It’s absolutely strange that you want to claim you’re right, when I JUST finished explaining that music skipping came well after game lagging. Does reality just not exist to you or something?
