Neopets I was ShelbysTheBomb and SqueeksDaFlyer. In 2019, I joined again as ShelbyEileenCosplay. The website really hasn’t changed and it’s nostalgic and so good for my mental health
I set the Xbox username “Myname420”, myname was of course my name. I didn’t know what 420 meant at the time, I just thought it looked good. Later I wanted to change it, but it was paid and I didn’t care that much, it only showed up in Minecraft when I logged in (because that was the only game tied to that username I played).
After I stopped caring about having a unified online persona, I just picked random names everywhere. Sometimes I’ll just drop a name that doesn’t fit anymore.
Feels so freeing. Like this is my at work account. When I hand in my work laptop, it’s gone.
Having worked for online customer support it was always fun to get the people who were embarrassed to read you their email address to look up their account.

40 yo you embracing the name again because you realized that agonizing over what random people think about a perfectly fine username isn’t worth your time.
(I could’ve made a picture here but I’m also not agonizing over what random people think about my laziness.)
That name was legitimately chosen in my mid-teens for a short-lived troll account. I wanted something that sounded controversial without actually making a statement.
Then I realized that my old username sucked and just stuck with it.
