Mine should be obvious.

I'm a Bailey Sarian Fan.

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

Discord nickname that originated from OneShot (the game my icon is from). I chose it like 4 or 5 years ago and it stuck on Discord so I just adopted it to here

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

In memory of the Apollo app. RIP.

I used to always play Pyro in Team Fortress Classic and would just run around setting people on fire and then running away. It was my only strategy and so I adopted the name.

My initials are kn, I was 10, and kn10 was taken :p

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

I was hoping to be generic. Also, to add to articles and photos on lemmy, I wanted random photos from users. I don't even care what they are. So far I've seen a beautiful landscape.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

I don't remember my username

[–] lunaticneko@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Not calm.

Not typical.

Full cat.

HISSSSSSSSSSS

After one of the best songs from the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Fun fact: it's also the favorite song of their bassist!

[–] _TK@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

TK is a journalism joke. In that field, placeholder headlines used to commonly be written in as "Headline TK" or "TKTKTK" etc. It comes from back when newspapers were typeset physically before set in lead to be sent to the printer. It is short for To Come. Many editing marks are misspelled on purpose to make them stand out from the final text. "TK" is an unusual pairing of letters, so it stands out.

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

Gamertag. My new one at that though

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 3 points 2 years ago

I'm a guy who likes MsDOS

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

I hate myself

[–] nerdalie@lib.lgbt 3 points 2 years ago

I'm a nerd. I'm a Natalie. I'm a nerdy Natalie.

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

It’s an alteration of an older PSN name I used a while back and it has a really nice ring to it.

[–] zettajon@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] deur@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago
[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I like to smoke dope.

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

I had a bad dream

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago

Real name is Mitch and am somewhat irritable, so. . .

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

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

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

It's such a majestic creature.

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

because of duckington city? shall we? cheers my friends

[–] Heliumfart@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Wanted to be crass and nerdy, simultaneously.

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

It just seemed fitting.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

It's been my internet identity / haxxorz handle since the 1990s, and the story is about as benign as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and his black-and-yellow striped sweater.
