Dommy mo....... oh fuk

I hate the implication of what it meant going from calling them PMs, for Private Messages, to being DM, for Direct Message.

I want PMs, not DMs.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But the messages aren't private, that is why I don't say pm anyore.

I’m old enough to remember a time when you could receive your messages instantaneously via instant messages!

I hate whoever changed this nomenclature. It's PM and I will die on this hill.

[–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I am too afraid to search this.. I thought PMs meant menstural cycles in some cultures.. Like british if I am not mistaken.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Turns out most PMs weren't actually private since site admins and mods could see them, so they switched to 'direct message' as a more honest description.

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago

I always thought "PM" stands for "Personal Message", which is more or less an okay description. You send a message to someone "personally", not in-person, but close enough, I suppose.

Most TLA's are horribly overloaded (T for 2).

[–] reinei@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

At first I read that as "top-level aliases" and wondered why you meant T for 2.

Then I suddenly realized the more pressing question: if there are top-level aliases, are there sub aliases? And what would they look like?

Player Master? I don't think this will ever catch on.

[–] phase@lemmy.8th.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Game master is better. Less Dungeon focused. Dungeon Master can also raise eyebrows when people think of Dungeon for BDSM.

Game Master is better.

I wrote one is better, I didn't write that one is forbidden. When we speak we use one at a time in a sentence (see meme above) so... how both?

Knowing D&D people, it's usually both.

I really should find a local tabletop group.

They share a lot of the same soft skills

Ah, dungeon. Meshi.

I'll be slipping into your DMs...

This made slightly less sense before I remembered that manga is supposed to be read right to left.

I didn’t know persona had a manga

[–] melvisntnormal@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

I think they've made one for every iteration. It's where we get some of the alternate canon names for the protagonists, like Akira Kurusu and Minato Arisato.
