It was more random to be fair. I used to have a bunch of names. Then, I picked Retrofuge which sort of just stuck. It's funny because I was very used to changing names back then. The general idea that I loved retro games a lot. I have a very scientific mind, and I used to pretty much love analysing and breaking down the aspects of games into great detail. Like, a centrifuge which is the idea of sepreating things. So, I just got the word Retro and part of the word, centrifuge. Then, Retrofuge was born and I had this name ever since.

I exist, just finding stuff of interest.

At least this took some creativity! All I did was pick a character from Rayman M and steal his name. :lol:

It's a pretty clever one Retro, very nice! Mine's less clever, but at least it makes people guess how to pronounce it :hap:

Mine didn't take any creativity at all because it's literally my name and people call me it. :lol:

My username originated from a joke inside a friend's Discord server.

I like to call Rayman a "limbless lad", so, joining a Rayman forum, decided on TheLimblessLad.
Heya, I'm TheLimblessLad, and I started my Rayman journey in mid 2020 with Origins, and have loved the series ever since.
I also run a pretty decent Rayman Twitter account, @RaymanFacts, so that's cool.

I once came up with "domnibus" in elementary school, and i have kept it since. I like it, it sounds simple.

Bumping this as I find it interesting for recent members :mrgreen:

The nickname I have in RPC is my secondary profile on PSN. There are a couple of reasons behind the name. The first (an main) reason is... I like Megadeth! The singer is named Dave Mustaine and Vic Rattlehead is the illustrated mascot of this band. Now it all make sense, right? Also, that's my name irl :)

Ah, that's a cool way to come up with a name. Mine is just short for my real name, and it wasn't taken. :P
