The Curse that Should Not Be Named

Explanation
The Curse that should not be named is four letters that should never be said before someone attempts anything difficult in a video game. The letters consist of, in alphabetical order E, P, and Z with the letter Z used twice in order to complete the curse. The effect of invoking the curse results in an immediate and complete failure in whatever task the person who said was attempting to do. When said in a mocking manner, it makes the effect of the failure even quicker in retribution. Notable streamers who are able to call upon and invoke the curse are SqatCobblr and Shraxa.

First Invocation of the Curse
The first recorded instance of the curse being recited and having an immediate and direct reaction was by SqatCobblr. While playing a Mario Maker 2 recreation of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Sqat had spent various hours trying to complete a specific level. The trick was that the level had, at the end, a flying goomba that would appear out of nowhere as the player jumped up to complete the level by hitting the flag.

The amount of surety in Sqat's voice seemed to charge the effect of the curse, as immediately as he said it, his hubris was repaid karmically.
