As with all my online accounts:

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

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.

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

Was my reddit username for ten years. When I joined reddit it was through the swimming sub, looking for info on waterproof MP3 players so I could swim laps while listening to AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Slayer, etc etc. I'm a bogan that swim laps pretty much every day.... therefore waterbogan

I think mine is kinda obvious but in case it isn't, it's "GNU" in the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet. I got it because I like aviation and Linux... and also because I'm too autistic to get a more normal one

Combined a few numbers that are meaningful to me, turned it into hex, and here we are.

A fairy name generator.

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

:,(

My daughter gave me this name.

Not so wild as I used to be.

i just wanted to sound like an american mafia wiseguy

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. 🎶

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

It's my lizard's name

Pulp fiction.

I got plastic in my brain 🧠

Alliteration, Rhythm, Rhyme, and I like properly made tea.

Govt-issued

Because breakfast is the most important meal.

pewgar is my defacto English name and seemsimandroid was my previous Reddit username but i couldn't put a slash so i put a underscore

I was 9, I like video games, my first name is Harry

Almost 20 years later and there are people IRL who call me "gamer" and not "Harry"

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

I just like that short comic/meme of the Muscle Wizard

my friend's username started with "int" and I wanted a similar username, and interstellar sounded cool (I was also 12 when I made it) and then I added a 1 because interstellar was taken

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

I was in a 3 little pigs mood at the time.

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.

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

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.
