My original reddit name. It is on my 2 Guinness World Records for "Largest Online Secret Santa".

It means = Paramedic, guy(pig), and I did "save" two babies as a Paramedic.

I was tickled pink about this prehistoric fish that went viral a little while back and I thought I would adopt its name.

It's like when kids make up a ridiculous nickname for you in grade school, but it sticks and you end up using it on your business cards.

It's embarrassing. I'm not telling.

They were out of Bort usernames.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

i thought that my old username (that i came up with when i was 8 and creating an account for runescape) was too childish.

At some point after i watched donnie darko while being really high. The rest is history

I based it of the kid who goes “fahfahfahfah” in the pork chop sandwiches gi joe thing but everyone thinks it’s a reference to Jeff Dunham

I have plans to find a better one.

I got it from a random generator after I had to change my Minecraft username when I was a kid. Been using it ever since.

My favorite cyberpunk book, Neuromancer has a bartender in it named Ratz who serves drinks to the main character in a bar called Chatsubo

Not so wild as I used to be.

At the time, I was playing a lot of Diablo.

Sleeping pills and a misspelled person. It was my pirated minecraft username first.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Golden Sun for GBA... except it was taken so I added an I... it's occasionally taken so sometimes I switch it for a 1 but I hate doing that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

It was tough, but I squeeked it in just under the wire.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I just love the Kirby game series cuz it’s really cute but I also love Kirby himself as well at it being a reference to Kirbo from TerminalMontage, who I also equally love as is one of my fave YouTubers.

808 is a reference to the Roland TR-808 drum machine, referencing to many of my favourite electronic/alternative/hip hop musicians that have used it.

Also I love being cringe too so there’s that too xD

I made it up myself. I came up with the phrase decades ago, and recently decided it was time for a new online moniker since a number of people were able to deduce my real identity based on my old one I'd used for a couple decades prior.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Mistakes.
I created a test account on SDF pubnix. Since it was a test account, I didn't use my usual username, but just user224. Then some good user (xiled) decided to verify my account. Thus I had to stick with it.
Then later on Twitter I've seen SDF announce their Lemmy instance. Not knowing what Lemmy is, I've used the same username as on SDF pubnix, which was an accident.
I can't change it either, and this account has some history already. Just building up on mistakes. Just like when I find a "temporary" solution to something.

Named after Jubei Kibagami of Ninja Scroll, first anime movie I ever watched. The 08 was my jersey number when I played soccer.

Ninja Scroll

I'll let you guess the second half 👍

The first half is actually short for Indigo.

Back in the day my old internet alias was Indigo Michigan. I eventually dropped the Michigan when I became a Brony. "Indigo Brony" didn't really sound great, so I shortened it.

It used to be the name of my character back when I played DnD, and the very origin was some online dwarvish names generator.

It's a portmanteau of federation and degenerate. This account was going to be a porn account and I am a degenerate.

I like Marvin from hhgttg. Also, I have sleep issues.

I have always loved magic/mages/wizards/locks/witches/shamans in video games. When you have to make tons of alt accounts on MMOs or RPGs everytime i did another mage playthrough I started coming up with names for the memes. Some were okay, some were bad.

When I went to do a hardcore playthrough of a game and was trying to think of a "sweaty" (sweaty being someone who puts in a lot of effort, for those unaware) pun, sweatyfireballs was born. I was so proud of if it, it became my new go to user name over my long running previous name that I came up with for my mage on vanilla wow. I peaked that day.

Axollo - Moonstruck and replaced the letters.
My earlier name was childhood cringe.

I was originally called deadlok, it was a gaming name I came up with when I was 10 and stuck to it other than contracting it a bit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Had it for forty years, it was my CB radio call sign.

Mine is an old Black Crusade character name. The original Xariphon was a scholar-warrior.
