I'm trans and I like Sci Fi.

[-] Tekchip@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A Tek chip was the delivery mechanism for the VR drugs from the William Shatner authored TekWar books.

[-] Laila@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Because it's mine and it was available.

[-] qwertychomp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Because this was my username on reddit before I deleted my account, and I don't have the creativity to think of something else

[-] Samsqantxh@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Autocorrect kinda fudged mine up and I said go it.

[-] limpid_luster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

childhood memory i guess

[-] doesitwork@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Because it works

[-] Nittick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My friends name is Nick and was thinking about him when I came up with this name. Also wanted a cool unique name like my brothers came up with for their gamer tags.

[-] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I live on South End and I love sunsets…combined, it makes no fucking sense.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Name of my favourite novel.

Someone on reddit a long time ago said, look at the item to your right, that's your new username, what is it? It was before I had ever made an account so I took that as time to make one. I was at work so a bag of plasma was there. Done deal.

[-] mathterdark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Math was my favorite subject in school, and I think that adding the phrase "after dark" to something made it sound cooler. So I combined the two to create my username.

EDIT: my display name (not username) is the exact opposite of the display name I used on aliensite

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

A weird set of events. First I just wanted to sign up on SDF Public access UNIX system but I didn't want to waste my username for testing it out in case I did something wrong. So I went with user224. However a good user named xiled verified that account for me so I stuck with that username.

Later SDF posted on Twitter about running their own Lemmy instance, and since I didn't yet know what Lemmy was, I used the same username. Slowly I made comments and posts locking myself into the stupid "user224" username. And I can't change it.

[-] ahriboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

My name is dedicated to the Nine-Tailed Fox from League, who she is my main in Wild Rift.

PS: I haven't played Wild Rift after I felt tired of getting tilted in Ranked.

[-] excitingburp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Crunchyroll autogenerated it. I liked it.

[-] Nika03@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't really remember, but it's short - 4 letters, 2 syllables and it's a real name. It's not my real name though and yes, people love referring to that n-word when they see my username. I have it for years and I don't regret it.

[-] darreninthenet@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I'll give you one guess...

[-] Wololo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It's a reference to age of empires 2. My favorite game during my childhood.

[-] Demographics@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

No one ever has had the user in anything I participate in

[-] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Very vaguely related related to my old reddit dead name.

[-] raptore39@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ok, I'll bite. What was your Reddit username based on?

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because Ganondorf should have been a clone of Samus in Smash Bros Melee, not Captain Falcon. At the time, his one appearance (Ocarina of Time) had him using a projectile-focused moveset. This would have inevitably given him morph ball motions (down-B and roll), which would have ultimately been swapped out, but it's a fun thought that it would have been like that during part of development.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Why?

Because one was required.

When?

2001, heading to Assembly '01, a large LAN event in Helsinki.

Or was it '02?
