Creation and Usage Notes

Derives ultimately from its gaming usage, especially in the mid 2000s. The meaning was reinforced by the City of Light in season 3 of The 100, an AI virtual reality created by A.L.I.E. for humanity to escape to ahead of the second nuclear event. -David J. Peterson 15:14, 14 January 2024 (PST)
