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.
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!
Game master is better. Less Dungeon focused. Dungeon Master can also raise eyebrows when people think of Dungeon for BDSM.
Game Master is better.
... why not both?
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?
Tbh it normally is 🙃
They share a lot of the same soft skills
Knowing D&D people, it's usually both.
I really should find a local tabletop group.
I hate whoever changed this nomenclature. It's PM and I will die on this hill.
Preventative maintenance?
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.
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.
Prime Minister?
Most TLA's are horribly overloaded (T for 2).
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.

I'll be slipping into your DMs...
Dungeon Meshi!
Ah, dungeon. Meshi.
This made slightly less sense before I remembered that manga is supposed to be read right to left.
Daddy Master
(Especially when Anthony is smooth)
Dextromethorphan?
The orphans are on what kind of meth?
Dank Memelord
I didn’t know persona had a manga
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.
