This my first nickname from when I start gaming on line : Star Craft - Broodwar.
Because fewer a's were all taken

In order to rise

Well. I am a wench. And quite jaded. I wanted to make something I had not really used before, back when I joined the place that shall not be named, and it sort of stuck. I also really love the color green. If it makes you feel any better I am a much happier person today than I was then. Still a wench though. 😈
Mine should be obvious.
I chose mine because one day I had nothing to do and was super bored, so I just stared at ceiling and blackedout. And mind you I wasn't tired or anything neither did I sleep, I just lost consciousness because I was bored.
I just want to have a good time
For Karl!
Because my tiny little arms have been replaced with laser-cannons.
No anime.

I originally chose this as my Minecraft nickname, it's the name of a JavaScript library that I used (https://webpack.js.org)
There was a now deleted YouTube video by OneMinuteGalactica called "Apollo launches his viper funny" where Apollo from the original BSG tries to take off, but the launch tube just goes for miles and miles while the bridge crew and other pilots scramble to figure out what's going on. I thought the reference to it was funny and sounded cool when I was 15ish and it's pretty much stuck
Because it sounds perverse, slummy/moist, and randomly generated in equal measure.
I have no f***ing idea.
I wanted to add "the magnificent" to the end of it but it didn't fit so
I have a big dick , I swing it for the glourius five year plans.
Mine was easy
I like popcorn.
Randomly generated by another website and I thought it was funny.
song by a band that fitted with my habit of nuking my PC every couple of weeks, either because I wanted to try a different Linux distro or because I got some kind of Limewire chlamydia
I don't remember my username
It's my real name.
I lived in Tropical country and iced cool water is the best
I am a TANK
And the most lit general.
Pun intended
FLCL song
One needs a username. So I chose one that I have used for a long time, which incidentally I couldn't use on Reddit

It’s an alteration of an older PSN name I used a while back and it has a really nice ring to it.
TK is a journalism joke. In that field, placeholder headlines used to commonly be written in as "Headline TK" or "TKTKTK" etc. It comes from back when newspapers were typeset physically before set in lead to be sent to the printer. It is short for To Come. Many editing marks are misspelled on purpose to make them stand out from the final text. "TK" is an unusual pairing of letters, so it stands out.
Discord nickname that originated from OneShot (the game my icon is from). I chose it like 4 or 5 years ago and it stuck on Discord so I just adopted it to here
I was trying to call someone an idiot, but I only had a calculator on hand. I also didn't consider talking as an option.
