discussion Please for the love of all that is pervy. Can we all stop speaking in abbreviations

[ツSisterSexualシ]

Before using abbreviations, you should provide the explanation keys

 

[Teaspoon]

Ouu. A quiz. Let's see....
hsoa: Hot Sands of Antarctica
osil: ?
fin: ?
tdp: The Daddy Plan?
pf: Proud Father
tg: ?
tgif: ?
dmd: Dating my Daughter

I'll order appetizers for the table!

 

[JUJU]

The only problem I have is when a new one pops up and I have no idea what it means.

 

[Matt_Tex]

This thread is absolute needed cause some the i looking for game and the reponses are all abbreviations !!

 

[Fuk]

You got a point

IYKYK

 

[juustomestari]

Thank god someone said this. As a newbie in this field of entertenmaint I’m often wondering what games are mentioned.

 

[whydoineedto]

Come one people.
Like the topic says : No more abbreviations for game titles
If you do, you know you are either gonna be asked what it stands for or nobody replies because we don't wanna go on a holy quest to figure it out.
So no more shit like: osil hsoa fin tdp pf tg tgif dmd CL <--- Specially for RIC0H
Not everybody is a prev game name connoisseur.
Specially when people ask for recommendations of games to play and you guys just seem to throw out random abbreviations ( It does make me laugh but still )

So please for all that is perverted,,, just stop.

NOYL, IMO that just sounds like PEBCAK.

I agree. I had one of my downloads fail and I closed the thread a long time ago. Now all I've got is a busted zip with an abbreviated game title. FUUUUUUUUUU

I can't believe I can use this again after so long.

There's a simple solution to figuring out what game is being referred to by an abbreviation: just ask.

 

[vixifairy]

so looking at the OP's list... i kinda gotta agree. ive not been here long enough to learn all the names of the games but i dont recognize any of those.

 

[jackjackhunter]

Lol I feel ya. I once worked at a company that handed me a list of abbreviations and acronyms as part of my onboarding docs ;-;

 

[RandomLycan]

Sometimes while I read twitter I think that people aren't even speaking english anymore, it's crazy the amount of dumb shit they say, legit can't understand what they're saying

Like Tosser said, you can ask...
Or simply use the abbreviation in the search bar... it's super easy.

 

[conzibald]

wdym roflmao crip fr fr asap uh... i have already run out of abbreviations i can think of.

 

[Bangcoaches]

Nah, it's just easier to type like that, lol.

 

[Duden00b]

I can see both sides of the argument, in other forums I used to put the full title once and then start using the abbreviation. A little effort goes a long way.

Wouldn't it be better to make it easy to link to a game page by just typing some code with a prefix, like $tg or &tg, similarly to @ for users. That could trigger a search and have the forum system automatically provide the full name and link?
This could be automated by providing an auto-complete style popup with the search results of all games that match that abbreviation, or automatically pick it if there is only one match.

It would have the following benefits:

• For posters, it's almost as fast as just typing the game abbreviation, while providing verification that the title is correct.
• For readers, it provides a direct link to go check out the game, making the forum more enjoyable to visit.
• To obfuscate Games+ content, links to Game+ pages could automatically be redacted when displayed to visitors that do not have Game+ access, making it impossible to know which game the others are talking about, and preventing them from grabbing information to report to hosting company.

Or people could just type things out and not make devs do dumb work

It's funny when people talk about the games they like and how other people should play them, but only speak in abbreviations
