I just pick usernames for accounts based on random memories I have. Beavis told Butt-head "You don't have a family, bumhug!" in the Christmas special "Beavis & Butt-head Do Christmas".

we used to mainly go by laserdiscjockey everywhere, it was a username someone else came up with. combined our interest in old tech (laserdisc) and music (discjockey). then we figured out we were plural and we were like "ahhh damn well now we gotta come up with a collective name" and we stuck "laserdiscjockey" together with our music project "dreamcast society" to make Laserdream. thought it was a cool enough name to start using everywhere

In all honesty, The username for this site is basically my initials but cooler. Kind of sound edgy now that I look at it, but I'm the furthest from that lol.

Though Macro came from an older Username I don't go by anymore, that came from an old acronym MDS, which was because I really liked the nintendo DS :3.

Nemesis is because it sounds cool.
