This thread exists mostly as a heads-up for the people I play the Time Drops and 6 Pack with, so if you do neither of those (shame on you!), this thread will not mean much for you.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I have had a bit of an evolution with my usernames in video games over the years, and my old pilot name Mr. Wrath (and Robot’s Wrath before that) was definitely a product of that. I used to make unique usernames for every game I played, but around 2020 I decided to “standardize” my game names by using the same one for all of them: AdjectiveNounNumber.
This name was born out of how I noticed how auto-generated usernames for games often had an adjective, noun, and number in that order (like HelpfulOtter482), so this name is a pun on that. I quite like the name, and it always attracts some curiosity in games or severs I join, so that is fun too. The full name is 19 characters long, meaning it often has to be shortened to fit within character limits, but that is only a minor annoyance that does not ruin it for me.
Going back to War Robots now, I kept my Wrath lineage of names until now because this name was probably the most entrenched of my “legacy usernames”, with me liking it more than most others and you all knowing it. But, the name has lost some of its edge for me (it it starting to feel like an edgy teenager name now) and I would like to finally achieve full name “standardization”, so I have finally changed my War Robots pilot name to AdjectNounNumber (had to remove the -ive of Adjective to fit within the character limit). I know it will probably generate some confusion, even with me posting this explanation, but that is fine and will subside, and I am happy to finally have done this for the new year.
Well, that was a bit of ramble. Nothing huge here but figured it was worth sharing to spread awareness of the change and to share the story people often find interesting. That will be all!
