Welcome!

Thank you!

Hello.
I am one of those people who's username they've been using so long, they use it for everything.
How did I get here? I kinda already wrote that on another forum, so I'll quote it:

I am Spielsprache. Once a gamer, now a linguist.
I started by playing Minecraft, then I started playing Portal, then I played games other than Minecraft again.
At some point I started making Phonetic Alphabets, ya know, because English is terrible?
Then I discovered the IPA. IP-Yay?

Alias(es): GamerGeek, but some people call me "Gamer". I guess you could also call me SpielSprache
Location: In the Universe
Date of birth: I'd rather not say
Gender: Male
Occupation: None
Interests: Linguistics, Gaming
Favorite music: I listen to The Sims 2 Soundtrack, PvZ Remixes, and Harry's Portal music all the time
Political ideology: Quite left.
Conlangs: I actually suck at conlanging
Other hobbies: Gaming (Ocassionally)
Where do you see yourself in ten years?: Idk

Welcome to the CBB!

I already introduced myself in the introduction thread, but I'll do that too:

Alias(es): NeoNamo (IRC), Unapersona (Wikimedia projects)
Location: Catalonia, Spain
Date of birth: last century, prefer not to say :P
Gender: nonbinary. Please they/them pronouns
Occupation: student!
Interests: languages (of course), music, programming (sometimes), LGBT+ issues.
Favorite music: no special type of music. Right now, I listen to Pentatonix and Sonata Arctica.
Political ideology: somewhere in the left spectrum. Probably socialdemocrat? Actually, it depends: do you want the idealist answer or the realist one?
Conlangs: Nevira 1.0 (dead and deleted), Nevira 2.0 (or just Nevira) and Tarina (very new). You see, I like the words that end in -a.
Other hobbies: playing the piano, programming, reading, writing, reading again.
Where do you see yourself in ten years? On Earth, I hope, with a job as a translator or interpreter!

So do languages

NeoMahler, whence cometh your username? Are you a Mahler fan? I must know :)

Mahler is not my favourite composer, actually. It's a long story. I'm a user of the #wikipedia-ca Freenode (IRC) channel and, before I changed my nick to NeoMahler, I used "Unapersona" (which, in Catalan and Spanish, it means "Aperson"). Sadly, a troll used this nick (probably because it's a silly name) and I got banned. The operators asked me to change my nick to a more unique one.

By that time, I had finished a Catalan Wikipedia article about the 8th symphony of Mahler (it was missing) and it got the "featured article" distinction. So a I had the idea of using the name of the composer and adding the prefix Neo- because it means new (to make sure people didn't think that I was the real Mahler :P) and also, as a Matrix tribute, I guess.

You could get your wikipedia name changed.
Also, I prefer "nova" I once named an open conworld project called Terra Novus, which failed.

Funny that I've been here for almost three years but never actually introduced myself. Time flies!

Where do you see yourself in ten years? Hard to say. Every time I had some sort of plan it changed rather dramatically. I can say with some certainty that I will be married, with kids, and tired...that describes me now, so I imagine it will be the most consistent thing about me for the next ten years lol
