Whenever I spend a long time gaming I feel that I wasted alot of time without real benefit other than some fleeting enjoyment when really I want to be more disciplined. Therefore, I decided to choose my username, not just for this website, it is my gaming name in general. I feel without purpose when gaming when I really want to do something more constructive, but I keep gaming anyway.
I used to be Mothmethey (MOre THan MEets THe EYe), Moth for short. I added Nowise (NOt What I SEem) as an alt for an MMO, but it eventually became my main. Then I played FFXIV and they asked for a first and last name. So I named myself Nowa Ise, and it's stuck ever since.
