Redditors are stupid in very specific ways and it annoys me.
I mashed the keyboard.
Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind
Star Wars Galaxies I was on a red wine kick at the time and had found Ecco Domani to be a good low priced red. I meeded a character name for SWG so I looked up "to seize" in Italian to make "seize tomorrow".
It's actually "squeeze tomorrow" or "tighten tomorrow" and should have been "cogliere il domani" which is cooler. But c'est la vie, or questa è la vita.
Display Name is because the Earth part of a Universe Simulator program run on a windows 11 machine and the Earth.exe process crashed, which is why we have assassination attempts, felon president, CEO getting shot, random coup attempt in South Korea. The Simulation program just spews random plotlines without the Earth.exe process to fine-tune it. Its basically telling AI to draw human hands, it keeps making no sense.
Just needed a name and combined a word with an animal
Someone else took karl first and I want to know which one of you it was
Guess.
You really want to see this thing everybody talks about?
Bitwarden username generator 👍
Remember that mobile game that was popular a while ago, Neko Atsume? It's that, but with Etna from Disgaea, because at the time I first made this username (years ago) Neko Atsume was taken and I was playing through Disgaea D2.
My display name is a short-version of my nickname which is a phonetic amalgamation of my first and last name.
Sometimes I get kinda pedantic.
When i joined the fediverse I decided to make a break from my old usernames.
Way more years ago than I would like to admit, when I was in my teens, I learned to play a Fender Mexican Stratocaster. It became my name on my BBS, and has stuck ever since.
Most people think it has to do with FM radio.
Edit: Also, this question has managed to get replies from almost all of the prolific participators on Lemmy. Nice.
Shakespeare and Serious Sam.
I asked Dr GPT for a list of nouns and adjectives with a particular theme and picked some I liked and combined them. I do the same process for all my digital identities.
I'm fatigued in more ways than one and people joke that I'm fae because I'm allergic to metal.
Used to live in Norway when I joined reddit, and the whole Norse lore resonated with me. Back then I had a number attached, that wasn't needed on Lemmy anymore.
Ranidaphobic; but going with Frog-Man was a too on the nose rip off of Bat-Man (and it’s taken anyway).
I have no imagination and my legal name is Tanis Nikana.
It scans like a username when it’s all lower case and jammed together though.
I liked playing tachanka on R6, tht is short for TheHolyTachanka
Bit warden made it for me
I used to play GH3 on PS2 a lot and i played boss battles quite frequently
One time, in another game called Soldat, when a clan was recruiting they told me to change my old nickname since it was bizarre (i was 15 yo). I was looking for inspiration and quickly came up with Lou (final boss in GH3), added ` so i would be recognised easily while also not impersonating anyone unintentionally.
Few months passed by and i saw someone on some Soldat-related IRC channel chilling with my nickname and that person wasn't actually impersonating me (he/she used that nickname for much longer time than me since "Lou" is actually a first name which for me, as a native polish speaker, wasn't that obvious at the time) so that huge coincidence made me come up with an addition to my nickname - 2nd boss in GH3, famous guitarist - Slash. In the end i started using LouSlash`
As time passed by, in some places/websites/games i couldn't use ` so i drop it occasionally.
Patrik/Pat is just my name, sometimes use Legendbird on sites because once it was the first thing I thought about (Zapdos, to be exact).
no imagination and I thpught it was funny image (current acc avatar)
I like the word argyle and I'm angry
