A friend's been doing a lot of Final Fantasy 1 stuff and while talking about maps and dungeon designs I used the term "stud tile" for "forced encounter/miniboss tile" and they started using it too. Then someone asked what that means and they had to ask vee.
And I'm like "Oh gods okay, let me take you back... further back than that... no further.... 1978 specifically, and Avatar on the PLATO mainframe"
To be clear, I wasn't ALIVE then, but I've researched that era of gaming quite a bit.
@trysdyn I would also like to know what that means, as we've never heard it before

@Felthry It's pretty much a term used in Avatar and Mordor for "If you get an encounter on this tile, it's going to be from a deeper floor than you're on, and the encounter rate is raised"
It's not absolutely correct to use in FF1 because FF1 the special tiles force an encounter, but it gets the point across I guess.
