  • Then where the fuck did my family get it from? Cause we almost exclusively stick to Celtic, Roman, and Christian names IE Lucius, Jess, Gordon, Robert, Michael, Scott, and Antony so why did we pick up a random German name to start throwing at random kids every couple of generations. Like don’t get me wrong it’s faded in the last couple generations but I can’t imagine my 2x grandpa Jess.

    The Willms (how it was spelt before immigration) were surprisingly well traveled and I know that the mother of my ancestor who came over was from Schleswig-Holstein so it’s possible the name moved around.








  • Also just to add to the point that it was more of an American console market problem. I’ve met a couple grey and white beards who were part of the PC gaming side of things during the crash and according to them they were small but thriving since they were able to filter trash and share things around as needed thanks to the community aspect of things. Who knows maybe in an alternate world where the NES flopped it was the Commodore 64 that reigned as king for early home gaming, hell maybe we could’ve gotten a proper port of Metal Gear years earlier.
