Origin of your nicks and a story behind them? My story also.
I ran an online BBS from 1987-1988. Anyway, I took it offline 33 years ago and my nick back then was "Bugz Bunny". I was pretty well known in the exploit/phreaking scene and you could see my nick in many cracktros. Knew a few of the guys from Paradigm, Eaglesoft Inc, etc, etc. Bugs was my fave cartoon character, so I modified his name a bit, and voila, my nick. Silly, eh?

Then around 1996 I changed my name to Delphinus Minor, which is Latin for "little dolphin", since I am a navy certified SCUBA diver. As time went on I shortened it to "Delphinus" and now I just use Del. My real name is actually Jason.

I have been on Steam nearly 17 years and never really introduced myself, or told my story because when steam first went online it was primarily just used as a place to collate your games. Most of us were still buying optical media and many of my fave titles I had to buy again, which I don't mind. Those devs deserve that.

I plan to write a book sometime about my underground "career" and will be including the time my group and I got busted after we created a shell account at a well known bank and stole a penny from 50,000 accounts and deposited them into the shell account(Group was called TFF, or The Fantastic Four. Lame, isn't it? We were teens and it was 1986.)

So, we got caught and we never got charged. The reason no charged were laid is because my parents, our parents, and us teens agreed to never mention which bank we violated. The reason? This bank definitely did not want their clients/customers to know some punks accessed their accounts, got by their security and stole from them.

I then got very heavily involved in exploiting mainframes via datapac numbers, and placing servU daemons on university servers remotely, or "pubstros", so that 0 day and 0 second FXP groups could fill them up with all kind of goodness. That is well behind me now as well. I'm now just some has been that lives in the past but really enjoys sharing and I really hope people enjoy reading my stories.

Was it wrong? Depends on what you think of banks and whatnot, but legally, yes, very wrong, but in my opinion not immoral. But that was a different time, and that kid is long gone, but he dwells inside of me.


So that is my story. I never really started to get into Steam forums until recently. Most of my posts are older game related posts and pretty vanilla. I have some serious health issues now and want to talk about all of this to strangers.

Thank you for reading this wall of text.

I used to use Dioxyde, after a musician that I used to listen to. Got sick of that name, so I changed it to Voxoid, which I used for Crysis Wars back sometime in like 2007-09.

Waaay back in the day there was a developer called Psygnosis that made games for 16 bit machines like the amiga and the megadrive/genesis.

Before they were psygnosis with the round blue owl face logo, they were known as Psychlapse with the same logo but red.

It's just a cool word.

Well, back on club penguin as a child around 2007 when i wanted to make a new account,i just wanted to put my real name with numbers (i had to put numbers since obviously lot of ppl had my real name on club penguin) but club penguin censored It and i didnt want to be named on club penguin like P24748374 (random number, not exactly the number i had )

So i had to make a new email and a new account and i was thinking about a new name, and i was eating haribo when doing said process and that reminded how much i love candy (and i still do)

So candyy came up to my head ,i tried the spanish translation to It or just putting every type of sweet in spanish as a name but it just doesnt sound great on spanish, in english sounded better...

So candyy was the final name, i only had to put the number 482 cuz obviously there were lot of ppl with that name and 482 was the first number i came up with, unfortunately i could not put hearts on the name like i did now but now i can



So the moral of the story is that some stuff just sound better in english than spanish...

An incorrect spelling of "Blu-Ray"

Just the first three letters of my real name and then 3 random ones, most of my nicknames are variations of that same formula just changing the 3 letters.

In manic and compulsive and I put to much personal info in my original post. But I deleted it so it's all good now I guess. Take care.

what will you do if someone saved the post? not saying i did, of course
...

Mistakes happen. Sometimes they can be undone, & sometimes they can't.


Whenever someone asks me to delete a post of mine where I have quoted theirs & they have deleted their own that was quoted, I generally oblige the request & delete it, though.

I'm not from the UK but I kind-of believe in the concept of "the right to be forgotten", if that is what people so choose.


This, of course doesn't apply to stuff that I believe is relevant to keep in my lawyer's filing cabinet but no one else needs to see that unless they decide to sue me or something.

Okay, I re-added my story. Sorry about that everyone.

Was eating a fajita and had a Slim Jim on the desk. I briefly considered Slim Fajita Jim.

Those things are good, likely why I'm not so "slim" anymore. Heh.

Snip

I am glad someone shares the same values I do, I usually snip the contents of the quote to avoid permanency and to avoid immortalising something someone says. I also don't like being quoted in case I change my mind about what I wish to display.

On topic: I always leave my options open, and I am highly cynical and distrustful of others, my name is somewhat appropriate for that, it was assigned to me long ago by my colleagues.

me parece una falta de respeto
