Ask Lemmy

When I got to the username prompt Sagat's voice jumped into my head. While I enjoyed SF2 way back in the day I haven't played in probably 25 years, so I'm not exactly sure why I thought of it.

There was this user named dolphinfucker69 that posted a really elaborate text post about fucking dolphins and became a sort of microcelebrity on certain subreddits that I am not proud of frequenting so I won't name. If you know you know. Anyway he eventually got banned and it was memed on for a while and he did some ban evasion. I needed a new account at the time and figured a name similar to that might make some people laugh. So here we are

JustTheTip was taken. So I had no choice what so ever

Pure Pwnage reference

Well, I try to be an optimist, but life sometimes is just shit

First time I was prompted for a username, I happened to have a Roadkill Cafe poster on my wall. Couldn't find anything better in my room unless I was going to use "LampBookDumbassCat"

Back in the olden days I played Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast at a buddys home. I didn't have a username for online play and I think he had gotten his from a Majoras Mask guide, so I flipped through it and randomly chose Gibdos. It's been my one and only username for over 20 years now.

Well, let me tell you a little story

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea…

wanted a zerg sounding name when I started playing SC2 and then mained terran instead

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

Deep cut Expanse reference. Specifically to an episode that had a lot of personal meaning for me.

It's my stage name

I change usernames every couple years. Betch is just something a couple of my friends started calling me a while ago. It basically became my name until I found something I liked to replace my deadname and it also became my new online identity.

We are a small clique of kobolds who share a Lemmy account in real life. It seemed appropriate.

I like glitchy stuff, and I had friends who added "-ington" to everything for laughs.

Character in the world I made up when I was a kid

One of my favourite characters from a book.

Well....

Edit: seems my gif doesn't load?

Edit2:Thanks!

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

Back when chatrooms were a thing, me as an edgy teenager, wanted something that I thought made me appear dark and mysterious so I chose Der teufel (the devil) as my handle. Most people couldn't read it properly and called me Truffle instead and I embraced it happily.

I like crab and i'm easily annoyed.

24 years ago my dad asked me what I wanted my username to be and I was struggling and he said “hurry up or I’ll pick something silly like prettybunnys” and type it in and I said “ok”.

I'm ready good at killing rocks in Minecraft

it's my name. i'm jerome.

I was a DJ in the 90ies and needed a DJ name. I was looking for one and when I was on my way to Berlin for the Love Parade by train - already half drunk. And the we stopped in the city Jena, in the part Paradies, so the sign Spain "Jena Paradies" and I thought it was the perfect name for me as a DJ.

Then I added another e and dropped the "last name" part and here we are with "Jeena"

I am an idiot.

I take pictures and I fart

I like dark souls

I like sea otters. I've spotted them in the water once or twice
