It must be fun having unique names. My last name is very generic and gets slightly misspelled almost all the time.
Yes, always correcting people on their pronunciation of your weird name the first time you meet them is very fun.
Screw it.

It’s Gabriel. Not Gabrielle, Gabriel.
People don't know the name "Gabriel"?

Like... the ANGEL Gabriel?

People are dumb.

But it's the predominant religion of America.

I assure you that most kids have gone to Bible school at some point in their lives or has learned about the Bible at some point. That leaves little excuse for not knowing one of the freaking Archangels.

My name is Kevin but I've never really kept that a secret. Call me whatever you want. It's a free internet.

There's still around 25% not Christian which is a lot of people given the population.

Raymond, I'm guessing?

That's also my first name, though I use a nickname.
Nice, well that's one thing we got in common. And yeah, that is my name irl. Although yeah, NSG's middle name is technically a nickname I get addressed for. Which is funny because at work, there's also this girl who also have a similar name as well. I'd imagine her is spelled by "Rae".

Whereas online everywhere else, people on discord call me Ten as a nickname.

Okay I'll go log off here for real this time.

staindgrey staindgrey I just recently finished the underground tunnels, and am going to be heading into the labs soon. Almost done, and I have to say the game really is a great time. I didn’t play it when it first came out, but I can see what made it really stand out in the genre and really make it a classic.

Great game. But once I finish this, it’s time for Resident Evil 0!
I'm glad you like it! You probably won't like RE0 as much as REmake, but it's still worth a play through.

What's disappointing is that the static camera angles/tank controls style of survival horror is almost certainly dead. I don't think we'll ever get a game better than REmake because the horror genre has merged with shooters and first person jump scares and shows no signs of wanting to go back. While I adore modern Resident Evil, keep in mind that REmake and RE0 came out on the GameCube in 2002. They're almost old enough to vote and they're the last of their kind.

I once knew someone named Angel. Everyone misspelled his name as Angle.

Honestly, I didnt remember Leonardo. I just thought it was the easiest way I thought without being totally obvious. I mean its better than to say that I shared my name with two characters in the Smash roster.
XD It was fun to guess! Really!

You all know my first name and last name (I don't like the idea of using an alias in my work for some reason)…but all I can say about my middle name is that is freaking long, hard to pronounce and I hate it. It aparently means "Defender of Men/Humanity", which is kind of ironic since I have lost my faith in humanity many times to the point sometimes I wish I could destroy it. :v Cough

Okay, but Gabriel is an archangel.

He's in multiple religions, including Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism. While Islam and Judaism don't call him by the strict name "Gabriel" the name is still there.

K Club represent.
Now I realized my middle name (which is the one I use) starts with M, too. It's not Biblical, though.

My first name is technically an Alaouite one, but that hardly counts, since it's as common as, say, John.

And I'm kind of tipsy so.

You don't necessarily need to be religious to have heard the words "the Angel Gabriel", especially in America and the UK.

I'm 99% sure Gabriel was the angel who told Mary she was pregnant with Jesus, meaning it's one of the most important names in the Bible, and is brought up whenever the Nativity comes up, which happens a lot in America.

Don't call me that though cause that would be weird.

*Insert totally feasible suggestion from a Yoshi* :yoshi:
Yoshi would probably eat my entire house and that's impossible by actual human standards!

So I apologize but I'll have to decline that suggestion.

If anyone was ever curious about what kind of music I consider my aesthetic, my current favorite band is Polkadot Stingray and I'm currently listening to this bop:

I mean, I listen to a wide range of music, but this song in particular has a lot of different sections that kinda power me up, so to speak.

It's late so I feel like talking about myself for a bit.

Whether someone is part of a religion doesn't usually mean anything regarding how many people are aware of them. Knowledge is more due to devotion or education.

Most people I've met with a formal religious (denominations of Christianity) education struggle to name any Biblical figures beyond Jesus, Mary and God. Even fewer are actually aware of shared figures and stories between Christianity and Islam.

It can be hard to piece it together, though. "Gavri el" and "Gabriel" resemble each other but it can be harder if you know them as "Cebrail".

Or it's just me.

Eat whatever the **** you want to buddy. So long as it's filling and keeps you full until bed.

I mean, typically when I'm hungry and it's late I eat a bowl of cereal, so that'd be my suggestion.

It kinda sounds like we should all get into a conversation about memetics but nobody can ever talk about that nowadays cause the word "meme" has been so FUBAR that the concept is just lost at this point

People can't even figure out how to pronounce the damn thing.

It's meant to sound like genes. Memetics like genetics.

Are you serious? Like Joseph, Cain and Abel, Noah, Adam and Eve, Judas?

I should think that those should be ingrained even in pop culture by that point, much less formally taught Christians.

My Music Choice would probably be something like this
(Specifically 3:45+) but your Music choice is pretty decent too. I like the rhythm of it it's very upbeat and the Singing is pretty decent too.
Why, thank you~
Yeah your Name is very pretty and super cool!

The common abreviation for my first name is usually completely butchered by the English speaking so I'll just settle for my full first name and say you can call me Cornelis
