approach-avoidance defensive conflict

Being a backronym of AADC (the title of an Indonesian movie), "approach-avoidance defensive conflict" refers to the psychological struggle where a single goal has both positive and negative aspects, causing a person to be both drawn to and repelled by it. This internal tension leads to stress and indecision as the individual weighs the pros and cons, and the conflict often results in periods of back-and-forth thinking. Examples include wanting a promotion but dreading the longer hours, or wanting a vacation but being discouraged by the high cost.

Tower Defense

A type of game where you defend against waves of enemies attempted to attack an end point in a path. Instead of attacking the enemies yourself, you have 'towers' that will attack them for you with positions chosen by you. In almost all of these games you can upgrade these towers to make them stronger. The most popular tower defense games are often made by Auckland based company Ninjakiwi with their series of tower defense games since 2007 and their most recent tower defense game BTD Battles 2 or just Battles 2 in 2021.

A: Wanna play some tower defense games?
B: Yeah sure.
