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)

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
