How did you come up with your nickname?
What's the meaning behind it (if any)?
ALSO you can share the story behind your quote! Suggested by pebble444 <3
Here is my story:
I thought a nickname that involves the word noob would be funny if I ever got good, or just true if I didn't. So it is a win/win either way.
I LOVE CAPS because they are easier to read and people regard it as SCREAMING (which I don't do), so it is a bit of a troll too.
THE_NOOB was taken however on the sc2gg website... So I went with LUCKY_NOOB instead.
What's your story?

I like the philosophy of Aristotle and St Thomas Aquinas

to be a pebble is to be someone that can be like everyone else, therefore included into the community; 444 is a religious number, people in italy are very religious; i was trying to be just a pebble but username was allready taken, so that was the first idea to add at the time. a pebble is round, small, and fits in almost anywhere. it can be a weapon, a support, or a part of thousands of different same like minded individuals.

I fell in love with SKTelecom T1 back in the height of the golden ages, I also started as Opticom (No fuckin idea, smoked too much weed), and then I evolved into Telecom, I guess. All in all, I chose the nickname and just decided to stick with it after 10+ years or so, I gathered too many friends along the way to change my alias again.

My first WoW character was a Troll Shaman named Brahmin, after the Hindu deity. Someone bought me a realm transfer which meant I needed a new name, so I went with Zam, a slightly trollier version of my name + Brah after Brahmin da Shaman, mon.

When I was in University, I started to suffer from anxiety. I started seeing a counsellor who has helped me tremendously with understanding myself. The first time I was in her office she had a saying written on her white board. The saying was, "Between Stimulus And Response There Is A Space. In that Space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom," by Viktor Frankl.
The reason for my ID is that first sentence. My name is an acronym for it. It has helped me tremendously as a person, but especially in my ability to stay calm and parent my kids in a way that I feel suits who I want to be. I still say this to myself fairly regularly and it helps me think about why I'm feeling the way I am.

It's why this emoji T_T was invented. It means Turtle Terran makes me cry.

Once I managed to get back to B.Net and having an existential crisis realising I didn't have a specific name and was a nomad in the BW universe, I had a lightbulb moment and settled on Psycrow, who is the protagonist from the Earthworm Jim series, which was one of my favourite ROMS to play. Being young and trying to be stylish, I felt psyCrow worked best. It didn't feel complete though, so I took inspiration from a surname (Crowe) and added the 'e' to the end to make it a bit more complete for me.
Polish people often comment on how my name is funny to them as 'psy' means 'dog' in Polish, so my name loosely translates to 'dog crow', which of course is both ridiculous yet great. Although since coming back to Remastered late last year, I've often thought of rebranding to something else, but stick with this in the hope I come across some old friends while playing public games.
