I am an old gamer. When I was a young buck like most of you in high school my friends nick named me rooster since it rhymes with my last name. I like playing games from when I was a kid in the 80's like Pac-Man so I added retro. I am in the IT field and an old nerd so I used leet speak from the 90's to make my username. :-)

I came up with this username during the early 2010's when I was young and the word "epic" was thrown around like crazy. B is my first initial, and 13 is my lucky number. It's simple and lame, but it makes me remember simpler times. (Kinda wanna find a new name though lol)

It's my real name, kind of. My real name is a bit different but it is only used in official papers - this is the name people always calls me no matter where I go.

My username comes from the fact that I was a SMW hacker.

My first name was SUPER_Samurai_ since it was my favorite song on DDRHP1 when I was young (lol). I also called myself GR33N (favorite colour) and OmegaAlpha (since I started learning ancient greek at that point and I thought it was edgy or sth). Then after, I had to sign up for a website called smash.gg since I was big into those smash bros tournaments, and I had to pick a different name since omegaalpha was too long and didn't fit well. I said fuck it and decided to just call myself "Dickson" since it was a real name but also had a funny haha word in there (points if you find it). Then it stuck around. I'm not actually called that irl lol

Unnessesary necro bump.

My original name is isuckatspeedrunning (it came from me not being good at speedrunning) and I wanted to get a twitch account. I was gonna go with isuckatspeedrunning. But I forgot streamers usually thank new followers and say their usernames and I didn't want to trick people into saying that they suck at speedrunning when they really dont, so I thought of speedrunningiscool. I chose that one because...well...it is cool.

Shame. Tricking people into saying they suck at speedrunning and then clipping it out of context would have been a solid meme.

King Boo is my favorite character in the Mario franchise and I like the Lieutenant rank in the military. I was almost going to call myself feigned competence since I have almost no speed running skills, but that wasn't as exciting.

Back in high school, I got all my friends on an anagram kick. When I plugged my own name into the anagram finder, naturally I got a bunch of funny but meaningless results. Except one...

[Something] Warm Cabin.

Warm Cabin! That's, like, a reasonable phrase you might hear! And who doesn't wanna go visit a nice warm cabin!? I went by [Something] Warm Cabin for years, until I decided to shorten it to warmCabin. Partly because it's more slick, and partly because it was my full name...

The weird capitalization is called "hump capitalization," and it's a programming thing--variable names usually get capitalized like this. It's also a Homestuck thing.
