What is tilting?

From video game culture. When your emotions stop you playing your A-game.

An analogy to the tilt mechanism in pinball: if you bump a pinball machine too hard, it will light a "tilted" message and refuse to work properly, throwing the game.

He lost half his HP in the first 30 seconds which was bad, but that got him tilted and he just YOLOed five enemies, a battle he couldn't possibly win.

What does "tilting" mean?

"On tilt" is a poker term used to describe someone who is letting their luck affect the way they play. For example, if someone has lost a bunch of hands in a row he or she might start playing recklessly to try to make up for it. Also, if a player has won many hands in a row, they might start to play differently as well. This playing out-of-line so to speak is called playing "on tilt."

Player: I doubt he has a great hand. He's probably only betting a lot because he's playing on tilt.
