I tried searching for it and couldn't find it. I then thought I'd eventually figure it out after seeing it used enough times. Couple months down the road and I still have no idea what it stands for. Please help me...
thank you. It's been driving me nuts!
OPM, anyone? I know what it means, functionally, I just don't know what the actual initialism stands for!
Sort of like how they call Let's Plays "After Action Reports."
Yeah this community uses "working as designed" instead of "working as intended" like everywhere else does. Sort of like how they call Let's Plays "After Action Reports."
Although I'm also pretty sure this community used those terms before their out-of-community counterparts even really existed anywhere else.
Working As Designed
aka "we just didn't get it to work right, so we just left it in as it was"

(Let's Plays also tend to be dreadfully boring, but that's another matter.)
I'm pretty sure "After Action Report" has been around in the strategy community for a while; "Let's Play" is more recent, and is usually in the form of a video. An AAR is also usually in-character, which a Let's Play usually isn't.
