Mine was given to me by a friend, after yet another round of back-and-forth, lighthearted trolling. She kinda just threw it in there and then convinced everyone to call me that, so I just adopted it and rolled with it.

A bit later I realized that I could score mad points with it on Scrabble, and that sorta sealed the deal XD

What about you?

I had to make an account in a psp homebrew forum to access some files and around that time i was into splatoon so when it was time to choose a username i wrote "inklingsama" at first, but then thought that it sounded kinda dumb so the L was deleted and here i am, using the same name for everything. The "sama" at the end was to add that extra weebiness to seal the deal.
 
It's my idea for a slogan if Sega ever made a Dreamcast 2. It's got a double meaning. It's the sequel console and it's using the 2 as also the word "too" meaning also. Like this is also thinking. When you consider how much AI has evolved and improved over the years since the original Dreamcast was a thing, it makes even more sense today. You could say "It's still thinking", but that to me would be referring to the original Dreamcast and not the Dreamcast 2, like it's a mini console or something. My profile picture was made by someone online a while back, can't remember who made it, but i liked it. It's the classic Swirl with a big 2 in it. I remember brainstorming back in the 2000s and the 2010s about what the console would look like too. Basically a big flat box that would double as a DVD player with 4 USB ports for 4 controllers to be plugged into it at once for 4-player games. It would have had a menu like Gen 7 consoles with an online store and a pay to play arcade service. PSO (whatever version) would come pre installed on every unit and the first year you signed up would always be free. Sonic Adventure 3 would be the launch title for it and the pack in title as well. :)
 
I was using the lego website when I was 13, and they changed their password format, and told everyone to make a new one. However the new format didn't allow for spaces, and my old one had a space, which couldn't be accepted to change the password. So I had to make a whole new account.

I accidentally misspelled my username and missed the "e" in "rules". Turns out it was for the best, as the username isn't ever taken anywhere, its all mine everywhere I go
 
I was in the mexican equivalent of 7th grade, and my brother's bff recommended us an anime called "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" my brother didn't think much of it, but I was obsessed for a good while.
My favourite characters were Yuki Nagato and Kyon, so I became Yukyon online.

-I did use snaketrainer before that one online for a few years
 
VampireLord comes from the vampire lord characters in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC and the 1024 are some random numbers. I thought maybe I should use some kind of spookyish name online, since I wasn't sure what else to go with. I guess I could've always used Vampire Lord1024 with a space between the Vampire and Lord part. Ah well, maybe next time.
 
There's a new one on Switch and it's so good.
Also play the Japanese version because they censored the western one, the japanese release has english too.
Ever play the GBA one with Becky? :)

Gorse, scientifically known as the Ulex flora family, is a variety of flowering plants common across Western Europe (mostly in the UK) and the Northeastern United States. It doesn't have any actual uses, but it's commonly used as a garnish in certain rustic dishes and little decorations.

...But, secretly, my username comes from the combination of Goose and Horse, made up on a whim when I was about 12 years old. Me and my friend were making accounts for something (I can't remember what), I thought up the name on the spot, and have been using it as a a nom de plume online since then. At the time, uncommon proper nouns were very popular as usernames on forums, so I was very happy with it. It's also generic enough that it doesn't lead back to me in any way, so nobody will ever know who I am behind the screen. ;)
