    edit: that stands for "laughed out loud". And I really did.

Wait. tng, was that some weird Dunning-Kruger joke or did you just define lol?

I was displaying my superior knowledge.

Actually, I just felt guilty for leaving a 3 letter comment on Hubski. Somehow, it seemed wrong. I felt dirty after it and couldn't erase the comment (the record of it's existence had likely already been emailed to newgameplus) and therefore added to it. It was a poor attempt at humor. Thanks for outing my insecurities around 3 letter comments.

I feel even worse about emoticons.

except this one: \0 which I'll admit, I love.

I first experienced "\o" in Eve Online and it took me a while to figure out what it meant. There would be waves (hah) of
    \o

    o/

    Got a navy raven today, blah blah blah

And I was too embarrassed to merely asked what it meant, lest I prove myself a noob.

caio mentioned it here on Hubski a while back and now I look forward to the rare opportunities to use it.
