let this a lesson for ya: don’t assume everyone has the same set of abbreviations as your niche.
Should I not assume people won’t think USA stands for Uncle Sam Association?
I mean “EU” is spanish for “USA” (Estados Unidos) and it’s a bit disorienting to me when I read the news in my native language as I always read it as “European Union”
EE.UU usually
I think my favorite overclock was back in the early Conroe days when Intel first released the core m processor. I bought an Asus white book and after assembling everything and doing on a power-on test I immediately powered it off and did a pin modification to force the socket from 100 megahertz front side bus to 133 megahertz front side bus.
It was such a simple modification that netted me significant performance improvements and voided my warranty in the first 5 minutes.
OC stands for Original Character.
How the actual fuck did you expect people to know that? 😂
When someone in the artist community says OC, it always means that, and nobody ever actually spells it out. So my thinking was, if there were as many artists on here as I thought there would be, someone might have one they could talk about.
I’ve never so much as shot a gun, so no, never had an open carry.
I don’t normally open carry, though to do regularly concealed carry. Have been told by others a few times they were happy I was carrying, made them feel better when we happened to get into a seedy area. Luckily nothing came of it, and hopefully it stays that way forever.
OC stands for Original Character.
I haven’t done that in a long time.
Most recently I probably overcolocked my original playstation portable.
OC stands for Original Character.
That just raises further questions.
It’s a term in the artist community to refer to characters that are standalone, as in they aren’t from a particular work of fiction, which are in turn stereotypically (but not always) used for purposes of roleplaying.
I thought about getting some OC spray but decided it wouldn’t fit in my bike bag
What’s OC spray?
I have a lot of original content, mostly Tom Swifty jokes here on lemmy at !tomswifty@midwest.social
Are any of them original characters?
Is it even possible to own an Orange County?
No, but it is possible to own an original character.
Christ aye, the last time I had Optical Catheters was an experience I won’t forget for a long time
They make those for eyes?
I do not own any Orange Camels.
I didn’t know those existed.
Actually yes, my wife bought 6 outdoor chairs this summer (and a matching table) but we didn’t really get the weather to use them.
At least you’ll have more time to work on original characters then. Which you do have, right?
“Power dynamics” ahh thread
I get that OC can mean lots of things, but I think most people in this thread are willfully misunderstanding you because of preconceived biases about original characters being ‘childish.’
I will instead attempt to engage in good faith. Here is an original character I conceived for a Star Control D&D game I ran.
Archivist Ryll (pictured at right) is an Yllk who joined the crew after they performed a mission to help him study an anomalous neutron star. He is pragmatic and cheerful, and always game to help out, but dislikes authority figures. He lost his rear legs in an accident involving IDF (interdimensional fatigue). He is shown here in the epilogue of the campaign in his capacity as archivist, assisting with the official documents as the Alliance of Free Stars signs a formal cease-fire with the VUX Admiralty after the Battle of the Sa-Matra and subsequent dissolution of the Ur-Quan Hierarchy of Battle Thralls.
