SirEvan for most games, except World in conflict, where it's [LGNDS]SPCRich1AD

In case you want to know what the Sirevan is for, its an old inside joke from a company i used to work for, where i spent 15 minutes trying to get a customer to know my name...I'd tell him "Evan.....Sir" and he'd reply EVANSIR.....for 15 minutes straight....so i changed it to Sirevan. The WIC name is my clan, plus SPC (specialist, my rank when i was in the Army, RICH-my last name, and 1AD, for the 1st Armored Division that i was in when I was in the army.

Cool thread, let the aliasing begin! (Y)

Xfire: rraze

Nowadays I only play two games online with two different names.

CS:S: revv

Urban Terror: ls|rw

I've had way too many aliases in Urban Terror so I'll stick to my original 2.x name, redwave which I abbreviate now which means it's sort of another alias :ninja:

I generally only play "online" in the capacity of my LAN or at LAN parties, but I will every once in a while join an online game of Tremulous or Nexuiz. On Tremulous I'm ANovastral (makes me curious how ANova got his name) and on Nexuiz I'm "[sACRILEGE]Gruesome_Cruciform", which harks back to a long-running in-joke at a LAN party I hosted a while back.

Most of the time, though, in any online/multiplayer/LAN game I play, I'm "Aidan Novastral," "ANovastral," "Aidan," or "Novastral," or some other variant of the name.

Back in the sof2 days I went from OnE+PuNcH+MiCkY (very briefly) to Psych0 (which i held for about 2 - 3 years) Then to Vamp!r3, then finally shortened to Vamp, and have stuck with that since!

use Vamp for everything now, steam, game profiles etc. Apart from Xbox Live where it was taken, so I'm Mr Vampy (me and my mates all put Mr before our name)

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
