Maya syndrome
Maya syndrome is a mental condition primarily (although not exclusively) developed by people who attend college or university for game design. People with Maya syndrome tend to believe that just because they are using an "industry standard" software, their products are inherently flawless and superior to anything else, regardless of their level of experience. They often dismiss criticism from more experienced people who use a different software, especially who use open-source applications. After a person develops this condition, they become difficult to work with in teams using diverse tools. The person will often work on a 3D modelling project, and refuse to do revisions after the first pass on the asset, resulting in a practically unusable product. Sadly there is no known way to cure Maya syndrome. At present, the only options are to keep these people isolated from healthy developers and hope that time and more experience heals them, or to play onto their mental state, and work with them in an echo chamber in order to try and pry usable products out of them. (Sadly the latter option has the danger of not only not improving the condition of the affected individual, but even making it worse.) The name of the condition comes from Autodesk Maya, a 3D computer graphics production software, which is the most common cause for the development of the symptoms described above. Similar versions of this syndrome can be described for a number of other professions as well.

The fact you guys make custom mugs is the most hilarious yet smartest thing ever, thank you so much I'm definitely gonna collect these and chuckle at the crazy words/terms only I will understand the depth of! 😂
This mug... this mug gave me a feeling that I can only describe as pure euphoria. The 'MRI - Man's a Real Idiot' mug is truly a gift from above. I cannot express how happy I am with it. When it arrived at my front door, it was a moment of epiphany for myself. My eyes were opened. I understood what was missing in my life... and it was that very mug. Whoever created it is truly gifted. I bless them. You too could purchase it, although the price may seem high at first, for what it is, it is the greatest deal one could ever make.
It was so easy to order - and I could play with the syntax of the definition to get it just right. All of this was easy. And quite soon it arrived and is perfect.
Arrived safely and in one piece. New term is already being used in the office loosely.
Great mug. Super customer service!
Love their products. Have bought numerous mugs. Buy 'em.
Very prompt order fulfillment, and all the messaging was perfect!! Looks great! Thank you!
Bought this without checking the back for my 12 year old cousin's birthday who adores trains! He's a lil autistic. I thought to 'run a train' meant to work on it and keep it running, much like my cousin is always talking about how he wants to drive a train. I was distraught to hear him turn over the mug on his bday in front of his two very strict puritan parents. My auntie and uncle are threatening to put me on a list now and threatening to sue me for defamation or some shit idk i didnt go to law school cus im not a nerd lols. (unlike them who both went to university) i got a kick ass job as a bouncer for an under 18s club - youd be surprised how big 12 year olds get- but they are just stupid. im worried i might get fired if this leaks.) Thanks a bunch! (sarcasn) - im feeling p down atm, if anyone could cheer me up, my number is 0800 1111, if anyone wants to do whats on the mug LOL (serious). btw, i kept the mug for myself since i found it decently adequate and quite tasteful. /srs
