I like penguins and 90s nostalgia. It's a Legends of the Hidden Temple fake team name.

Could I have gone for the alliteration? Perhaps. But Purple Parrots already existed. And I don't like pink.

I learned how to solve a Rubik's cube and figured I could make a username out of it.

Plus, it doubles as a reference to a pixel on a screen and I'm a security engineer, so... It kinda works both ways.

I just really like the character.

Main character from The Darkness that Comes Before/The Prince of Nothing series by R. Scott Bakker. Liked the character, liked the name, loved the books.

I used to like soda a lot when I was a kid.

Trimmed down version of my 'sona's full name "lythlphene" which I came up with kinda randomly in a weird creative mood early in the morning, it's intended to mean something like "earthy creature". I decided that I shouldn't change or tweak it afterwards since I would have just kept overthinking it and never been satisfied

I stole it from some old-timey sailors who were shooting the breeze.

Huge fan of GWAR and always used their lead singers name for online accounts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can’t wait until some internet rando types “GWAR” into a search engine and watches a video… fantastic.

Easily my favourite band. Seen them in concert many times and it never gets old.

RIP Brockie

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

By all accounts Brockie had an epic send off. The band did him proud.

I wanted to upgrade my cringy username and realized it was very hard to choose something, after a while I decided to do the same thing Seba Jun (rest in beats) made for its stage name. 🎶

I like popcorn and may or may not be royalty..

As with all my online accounts:

  • Visit a name generator website.
  • Find one that doesn't suck.
  • Check if it's available.
  • Here we are.

And each has a different email address. I hope adtech loves me. 😁

Mine is inspired by a comic book character I actually got to know through a video game I had tried on my first PC several years ago now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was playing a silly game online and I was so good at it I was basically stomping other players. Tac tac is how we describe the sound of walking loudly in Slovene (there are other ways to describe it: lomastiti, topotati...) and so I combined my name (Gregor) with tac tac and GregorTacTac became my username almost everywere.

It's the name of my sona, as well as the species. "Arx" came from one of my previous usernames which was railroad related (I'm a railfan, and went by RxR). My friends started calling me Rx, which then became Arx. "CyberWolf" comes from my fursona being cyberpunk themed, with cybernetic augmentation. Hence, Cyber Wolf.

A sundry, torn asunder.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's vaguely related to my old reddit user name.
