Overcooked / Cooked in this subreddit just means that the sliders were pushed too far to the right.
Cooked (the slang word) is not being commonly used in this subreddit.
Edit: I'm gonna put some receipts in here. I ordered the posts in this subreddit from the top month by most upvoted. I came across all these posts while scrolling down for a bit before I encountered a second post using cooked in the slang sense (there was only one singular case using it as slang at over 1k upvotes)
Some people in this thread seem to think the issue being addressed is the slang word. It is not. It is using the words cooked/overcooked in the post processing sense.
And a bonus thread from two days ago complaining about cooked/overcooked in the post-processing sense just in case anyone still thinks the slang word is the issue:
People also use cooked to refer to cooking vegetables. It's the same word, does that mean it has the same meaning? Of course not, you just don't understand the difference so you're insisting there isn't one.
Cooked (post processing) - Too heavy on the sliders
Cooked (positive slang) - Something that was done well/awesome/etc...
Cooked (negative slang) - In trouble/Did poorly/etc..
In the context of this subreddit, 95%+ of use cases are referring to being too heavy on the sliders. Not the slang word.
Maybe the difference in opinion here is this - in my opinion, the first and third phrases are related. “It’s cooked” and “it’s overcooked” stem from the same original meaning (the vegetable one). I’m not a linguistics expert so I don’t know for sure, but regardless I don’t think the mod should restrict the rest of the sub’s ability to use a common phrase just because they don’t like it.
