Is there a special meaning behind your username, or did you just come up with it on the spot? If you're curious about my username, just look it up. It's too long to explain.

Serafos is my Blood Elf Paladin's name in World of Warcraft. It doesn't really mean anything. It's just a random name.

Mine was dumb. All I really need to say is that I sucked at typing when I was around 12 years old, and my username is the same username I used when I made a Runescape account in 2009. Nothing was ever quite as satisfying as maxing out magic without resorting to splashing.

Davil ?= Devil (Again, I sucked at typing back then)

Joe = My nickname

193 = I didn't know if Runescape names needed numbers or not, so I chose three corners of the numberpad.

I said it before, but I really fucking miss the Runescape HD days from the late 2000s.

Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.

Back in the early 90s I played Jazz Bass when I was still in Highschool. Some random dude at my Highschool convinced me after seeing me play upright bass after at a school musical event to join his music band (he really thought I was a good Bass player). After that I decided to take up the guys offer and went out and bought a 6 string Carl Thompson bass Guitar. We were able to get a few gigs preforming live at a few local small venues from tiny sports bars to underground raves. The singer of our group just had a lot of connections. The ironic thing was most of the places we ended up preforming live at the audience wasn't too thrilled we were basically just a Jazz band when Grunge Rock was still extremely popular. Most of the time we just ended up playing a bunch of popular grunge rock covers from Nirvana's "Smells like teen spirit" to Joy Division's "She's Lost Control". Performing in front of at most an audiences maybe a few dozen Punk Rockers that didn't even like us mosh dancing to our Jazz music. We were simply just known as Josh's Band till I came up with a name for the group which was "Colourwheel". The band broke up shortly after our lead singer wanted us to stop playing Jazz Music completely because he said no one wanted to really hear us play Jazz (the dude really wanted us to be just another Grunge band). Since the guitar player and I wrote half of the original songs we usually ended up performing live we weren't too happy about the direction the drummer and our singer wanted the group to go, so we basically broke up after less than a year playing together. Thus ends my short lived career as a music artist.

Every User name I tried to pick was basically taken when I originally tried to make a User account on this platform. Taken over a dozen tries to find something I liked and just remember the Band name I came up with back when I was playing in the Jazz band I was in back in the 90s. "ColourWheel" was apparently not taken so I just went with it. lol

It is based off of the Rozen Maiden anime series. I simply replaced the word "Rozen" with "Desu" to have "DesuMaiden" instead of "Rozen Maiden". Makes sense?

Lini was a secret character you could recruit to your team in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and his job class was a Mog Knight (Moogle Knight). Lini ia my profile pic for both my anime page and for the forum. The forum pic is another job class you could pick called a Gunner. Unlike other secret characters I felt that Lini's was pretty interesting.

Word of advice, if your enemy is a team of moogles you are doomed.

The 'Megu' part comes from either Megumin (Konosuba) or Megumi Kato (Saekano), I forgot at this point.
The 'Sae' part comes from the anime series Saekano, one of my favorite series.
And the number after that does not mean anything at all.

I didn't put much thought into the name. I just based it on the word "Jelly" (because I really love jelly) and added a couple of letters to make sure no one else had that username. That's all there is to it!)

I used to go by the username "Orion_Gospel" a name I came up with when I was just 12 years old. Over the years, I felt it no longer suited me, so I changed it to Pokitaru, a name that originates from the Ratchet and Clank games, which I absolutely adore, especially the original trilogy.
I chose it simply because I love how it sounds.

@Pokitaru That post awoke my R&C nostalgia, listening to some themes right now, the composer is a genius, so many great tracks, can't remember which was my favorite, maybe the Starship Phoenix theme because I spent so much time there.

@Zarutaku Man, I've been on the nostalgia train for the og RAC trilogy for a while now. I've been following a streamer who speedruns the game quite often, and it makes me very happy to see that this franchise not only is still alive, but the og games are still relevant.

The Starship Phoenix theme is a banger, easily one of my favorites as well. I don't know which one is my top favorite. It's very hard to choose between so many great soundtracks, but I'd say the Megacorp Store theme from Going Commando is definitely one of them.
