Don't have the best internet and my favorite video game franchise is Metal Gear.

You don't choose your username. Your username chooses you

[–] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Truer words have never been spoken

[–] ToastyToast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I've been using some form of this name for 10 years. It's a part of me now.

[–] taanneth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Tanith was one of the goa'uld from Stargate SG-1 which I was a huge fan of as a kid. Back then I was not so good at spelling so I sounded it out and kept adding letters until I found a username that wasn't taken

A catchphrase of an interestingly math-themed villain in my favorite game, The World Ends With You

I'm a Bailey Sarian Fan.

[–] martinbasic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That references the name of my programming language I first-learned in my entire life.

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Congrats. You are a survivor.

[–] psud@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

One needs a username. So I chose one that I have used for a long time, which incidentally I couldn't use on Reddit

I left a shaker cup with some drink mix in there for weeks, totally forgot about it. Now it's a science project

[–] Eigengrau@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Eigengrau's interesting colour

[–] Tempus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It was about time.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It’s a thought

[–] Neve8028@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

The Neve 8028 is an amazing mixing console lmao.

I have many thoughts

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It started off on Discord as a joke I no longer remember the context of, and was originally just "PopeJoeI (as in Pope Joe the First)" , and then spread to other areas, like the site formerly known as Twitter.

Then Discord added the crowns to admins and it then became "PopeKingJoe" and that's that.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Am arcane and slimy, was descriptive.

[–] zowka@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I made a club penguin account when I was younger and this is the username I use ever since.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I guess I’m a sucker for puns.

[–] duckington@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

because of duckington city? shall we? cheers my friends

[–] mrchampion@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Years ago, when I was around 13-14, I wanted a "cool" sounding username, since I was also sick of coming up with usernames for websites. I did some thinking, and came up with "Mr.Champion". Used it ever since.

[–] spaceduck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's such a majestic creature.

[–] SilentSeven@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's from a book I like.
