General Reminder:
You are not obligated to be here everyday. You have your private stuff, which are more crucial, so don't be afraid to take a break. Length? As long as you need :)
No worries. Your mental health is an important factor.


Instead of sitting in one place, try to go out. Enjoy nature or explore new hobbies. Analyze the environment. It sounds odd, yet it helps you to clean your mind and you think different - less overwhelmed and more energetic. If you have the chance, try to make yourself a nice break from the stuff.

How unique are our usernames?
Here's the chart:
Of course, in some cases this chart is inaccurate. There can be something out of 2. that can have such unusual combo it could belong in 4, or there might be a character/person with an unique name/nick who got such a fanbase who makes their nicks based on that one character that it's not original anymore. So it's complicated and the chart averaged.
1. NPC name - Something extremely unoriginal. Like an IRL name. It is very common and there is no way this isn't already talent. Example: Ben (No offense to all Bens out there - just picked up a random name)
2. Small alteration or prefix - More original than No. 1, still not very original, because it's just either an on-purpose misspeling, added prefix or suffix, or a mix of 2 things. My username basically has the construction of 2., but I haven't seen anyone else who would use it too, so I'd put myself in like, 3.. Example: PringlesGaming
3. Unusual reference - People who got pretty creative. An case that would fit right here would be a nick that references something that is not mentioned very often, like a forgotten, maybe even lost media character or an unpopular franchise. The second fitting case would be 2-4 words that at first glance have no connection, but if you dive deeper, you'll notice these have a symbolic meaning. Example: Elysian Eclipse (Yeah, it's an actual franchise, I love fitting things that I like in every single place where that's possible. And the symbolic meaning of this one can be found on the FAQ section of EE's official site)
4. Unique name - Pretty much self explanatory. I always have trouble making unique names because my head keeps giving me references that one could think of. Example: Gersef
5. Something like xnxbxbxjdbxndj (isn't actually very unique) - Well, this one is self explanatory. Technically, it's the most original of them all, but for common sense, it's actually a bunch of random letters/keyboard spam. The longer the "username", the more "unique" it is because the probability someone somehow also randomly types this in decreases. Also this tier is mostly a filler because I had no more ideas. Example: xjxjxjdhsjshdhsjdh

Today is the birthday of two very important people:

Victor Caroli, born on this day in 1942, the famous narrator of the original Transformers cartoon, as well as the 1986 movie, the toy, cartoon, and movie commercials, the Secret Files of Teletraan II, the toy commercials for G2, early Beast Wars toy commercials, and two episodes of the Prime Wars trilogy (oh, and he voiced an unnamed Torkuli in "Webworld")

Kōjin Ōno, born on this day in 1959, designed almost every Diaclone toy, and helped work on the molds more when they became a part of Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers, a toyline known in the US as The Transformers, as well as several later figures once they'd started making original molds:
- 11 Autobot Cars between 1984 and 1985
- the Constructicons
- the Dinobots
- the 1984 Decepticon Planes
- the Omnibots
- the 1985 Triple Changers and Octane in '86
- the Metroplex and Fortress Maximus sets (and Grand Maximus)
- Galvatron
- the Aerialbots
- Apeface
- the Trainbots
- 6 Masterforce toys
- Deathsaurus
- Galaxy Shuttle
- the Multiforce, Dinoforce, and Crossformers
- and, finally, the Metrotitan set, one of two Decepticon releases in the Zone toyline

In addition, he also worked on Overhaul/Jackshot for Cybertron/Galaxy Force, two Deluxes and the Fast Action Battlers and Cyber Slammers for the 2007 movie toyline, the G-Shock and Canon crossovers, Ultimate Optimus Primal from the Rise of the Beasts mainline, and, last but not least, the MPG Trainbots and MP-52, 53, 54, 56, and 57. He also has a soft spot for the Honda City R, Skids' alt-mode (one of the Autobot Cars he designed), and the red one he had as a kid inspired MP-54 Reboost.

I’d like to thank the Transformers Wiki for providing introducing me to the neologism
