"Crippling" lag

[The Outfit]

Well, I'm glad at least one person came at me from a different angle than thinking I needed to know what the definition of "crippling" is.

Dude, you need to get one of those Nikki Suxx signature pinky brackets for your P-Bass. That would be METAL.

Nikki Suxx's bass playing is crippled.

I think generally speaking any noun intensified with an adjective is considered to be more severe. In my opinion, crippling means it substantially impacts gameplay experience, whereas, for example, a bit of freezing when loading in or rubber banding a couple times in a quest or delays in interacting with an object rarely would be just a bit of ordinary lag.
