I have this problem when people use abreviations for game names. There are so many games that it's impossible for me to understand. And good luck to find out which game it is if it's a new one you never heard of...
Man I love CP, if only it didn't take up so much space on my hard drive.
When one piece fans have hyped up the villains for Water Seven but saying u are excited to see CP9 is way too sus đź’€
Really? I never would have thought Captain Planet would take up that much space on a hard drive. Are you storing fucking Captain Planet as a 4k video? It was a cartoon from the early 90s. I think 480p would be more than enough! Sure there were 114 episodes, but they weren't that long. How much space can the complete Captain Planet really take up?
AC, GoW, EA, POE, CS, DS, so, so many.
Assassins Creed, God of War, No idea, Path of Exile or Pillars of Eternity, Dark Souls.
God of War vs Gears of War are my least favorite but there are others like when it’s solo, ie D2.
No love for guild wars, I see
Guild of Wars? GoW is the initialism in question
It can sometimes work if there are more than one character involved TES:III, F:NV, EU4, CK2, VIC2, HOI4, and CoC are all good examples. Also yes I did use a bunch of paradox games but only the ones I have more than a thousand hours in.
Who's up for some AC?
Acceptance Criteria is a must. Just ask QA.
Thank, my house has pretty good insulation, I don't even have a fan, not to say an AC
Armor Class?
Acronyms are a pet peeve of mine. Basically useless and now you need tribal knowledge to understand what the hell someone is talking about.
That's true, but it's also true that within a small community sometimes acronyms are necessary. Like, imagine NASA:
"Jones exited the AL in his AES but the C4ISP flagged an error either in the LSPG or WFCA."
vs.
"Jones exited the air lock in his Anthropometric Extra Vehicular Activity Suit but the Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Information Systems Protection system flagged an error in the Life Support Power Generation System or Water Flow Control Assembly"
Insiders can use the acronyms to be much more efficient. Outsiders probably wouldn't even understand what they're talking about even if they did spell things out fully.
The only problem is when acronyms leak and what's a well known and clear acronym in one group becomes a confusing one to another group, or worse is confused for a different acronym from a different group.
If the intended reader is a regular person just use normal words, even if it's not 100 % accurate.
All three ways don't mean much to me as an outsider, but the last one at least paints a somewhat understandable picture.
Somehow, 10% of the acronyms reduce to "TLA". Including the very nice self-explanatory "three letter acronym".
TMA is a problem. (too many acronyms)
That's My Ass!
The Mighty Ape!
They say /c/fuck_ai butttt damn for ambiguous acronyms…
Exactly! They say AI but what do they mean? GPTs, LLMs, GANs, CNNs....do they hate RAG as well?
