Well I just liked the character of Q in Star Trek and the evolution of his character from a nasty devil to almost a friendly beeing. And he was in two of the few interesting episodes of Voyager. And finally it's pretty much what I do frequently in SE IV: watch the primitive beeings (AI) and sometimes interfering for my pleasure .

Happy_Dau is just the re-translation of my name. My First Name is Felix, which is Latin and means "The Lucky One". I was thinking about Lucky Dau but that sounded more like some advertising for cigarrets, so I chose Happy Dau. The _ remained from old Quake I times when there was no space, and I finally got used to it.

Dau is my Last name and is an old joke in computers. A Dau is the "Most Stupid User You Can Imagine" (Duemmster Anzunehmender User) and I liked it alot (I knew how to boot our old 286 and start the game "Digger" when I was six). So I kept it. The term DAU refers to the german GAU (Groesster anzunehmender Unfall). I don't know if an english equivalent exists, a GAU is just the term when a nuclear power plant explodes.

Lol. Not quite. In fact, my strategy is just the opposite. I like to build ships that will never die. Often I have to force myself to cut out some defense for an extra gun mount . See my DN design.
I also find it fun to see how close I can cut it, yet still win a battle without losing a ship (severe damage is good, blowing up is bad)

I first started using "Heavyweapons" for games, such as my Scorched Earth type game (in VB), which was very popular at highschool. (With only four computers facing away from the teacher/supervisor's desk, competition was fierce )
I chose my new name when I had to register for forums and stuff on the net, and everything seemed to already be taken.
After struggling for a few days, trying to come up with something original, I landed on Suicide Junkie.
It was interesting, and not too serious (addicted to suicide?!?) and I couldn't come up with anything else, so there it is.

I honestly don't remember, I have been using it for over 20 years now. There is a band by that name, but I never listened to them. Maybe it is because it has an "X" in it, who knows what your are thinking when you only have one digit in your age.

Aside from inertia being my best quality, LeTharg is general enough to fit into a variety of universes from fantasy to futuristic.
