What's your username and why?

[LukeSavenije]

I want to do a fun game. We all have a username here, and we made them with a good reason (most of us). What is the story behind yours? Mine is an easy one, it's my name.

[Nicnac]

people ugh... call me that

[Drak3]

My fursona's name is Drake.

[Volbet]

I needed a screenname to play Ultima: Online and Volbet just sounded kinda cool (at least it did when I as 9).

The name just stuck and I've been using it on various online platforms since.

[Princess Luna]

I always use My Little Pony mains characters names as usernames/profile names.

[Syntaxvgm]

Syntaxvgm
 

It is because I put it here

[SupremeGOAT]

Supreme GREATEST OF ALL TIME! because I am...

 

[voiha]

Typed on a list my full name then started taking letters one by one in some order, the final was AHIOV i just typed it backwards and it became voiha and I thought it's aight...it's kinda lame but..eh

[jiyeon]

Seoz, which is simply my favourite K-pop idol's surname (Seo / 서) and then a 'Z', because I used to use 'seozminy' being nearly my full name, I just slashed my first name out of the username and ended up with 'Seoz'.

 

Also, it's pronounced soh-zee!

[Vulrax]

My username on steam used to be headshot82 to appeal to my 10 year old mind. I started playing csgo and was made fun of for not headshoting people, so I kinda came up with it on the fly

[jpenguin]

I keep the same name on most forums; penguin is often taken

When referring to MLP, shouldn't it.be 'mane characters' XD

[GoldenLag]

kept this name for a while and ls pretty much my OG universal screen-name.

 

The story behind it is related to my 150-300ping internet with 400-700 kbps internet. It was a great time when you could only game when being alone on the net. Sadly i had a trio of siblings......

 

Golden? Because i needed something extra. If GoldenLag is taken for some godforsaken reason you will find me as DiamondLag. And if that is taken you might be able to find me as some other element or gem + Lag

know how it feels, exept my atom laptop was the problem

[Guest]

Because William is my name. And my profile picture is from the game Oxygen Not Included.

[Silentprototipe]

I honestly have no idea how my 10 year old mind came up with it but hey it works!  . Unlike RTX it works  So I genuinely have no idea how I came up with it but its nice. Though If I had to explain it now its more or less because I was quiet and im not done growing yet. Hence Silentprototipe . Also yeah Prototype is spelt wrong on purpose for god knows why. Oh well  

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

I used to work Renaissance Festivals and Lady Fitzgerald was my stage name.

[Blasteque]

I've been using this since original Unreal Tournament days.  I don't remember how I came up with it.

[Supportsneedlove]

Because they do. I'm also known as "WindowsAndGates" because luke said it in the Linux Tech Quickie and it sounded cool.

[ThatBlockishWay]

Young me used to have an xbox account called LikeABlock4477 but the numbers always bothered me, so I came to the conclusion that if I did everything like a block then Im doing things in that blockish way. To be fair MineCraft was huge and thats all I cared about (still play it)

[Sfekke]

I've been using Sfekke ever since my first time I had to signup with a nickname,

I'm not quite sure how I got that nickname I think some friends literally shouted it at me once. 

First used it in 2007 registering for a random flash game.

If Sfekke is used, Sfekke22 & Sfekke20.

22 is for "February 22", birthdate

20 is for 2000, birth year or 02 (February) but reversed depending on what mood I'm in

Thanks to a stroke of genius from my Twitch chat that noticed I used "SfekTek" on YouTube things like "SfekTheRedneck" & "Sfekanians" also came to be.

 

That's why and how it came to be, like always .. I probably gave way too much information because I'm "so" interesting *faceplants into desk*

 

To be fair I had this more let's call it edgy period where I went by .. prepare yourselves :

• CoolBoy3399
• CoolBoy339966
• CoolMan3399
• CoolMan339966
• TheGamer3399
• TheGamer339966
• Lord_Sven_
• th3_chosen_0n3
  • And 1000 more unoriginal nicknames, most of them where on Steam or accounts I luckily never have to use again
    Eventually turned around back to Sfekke, which in my mind sounded childish .. it fits me 'nuff said.

But we .. don't talk about that anymore so, kkthxbai

My grad school focus was on synthesizing pyrazine compounds that would act as proteasome inhibitors.

 

Velcade (Bortezomib) is a pyrazine and boronic acid derivative that functions as a reversible proteasome inhibitor.

You're giving me flash backs to friends and family when they'd ask what I was up to in school.
