I'm a fan of BNA's tanuki main character Michiru, and Summer Tanuki's storyline, and how Tom Nook's name is pun with Tanuki and...

The stars just aligned for me, I swear.

[–] BigNote@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Because it's a pejorative term for a loud-mouthed know-it-all bloviating idiot and I like to keep myself humble and try not to take myself too seriously.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Am arcane and slimy, was descriptive.

[–] SilentSeven@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's from a book I like.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It just seemed fitting.

[–] MildlyIncorrect@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I sometimes say things that may not be 100% correct. I’m only human.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Tandybaum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Boom, still got it

Among us name generator

[–] BitsOfBeard@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I used the same moronic username I got from a name generator for 20 years before Reddit was trashed. I took the opportunity to reinvent myself. I'm a techie with a beard....

It's such a majestic creature.

[–] LovingCivilian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

[–] Heliumfart@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Wanted to be crass and nerdy, simultaneously.

[–] lorez@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I used to really love William Gibson. It's the name of a fictional musical duo in one of his novels, Idoru.

[–] MrSilkworm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Been using it for so long, that I forgot how I chose it

Because I had to to create an account...

[–] lemonadebunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

At the time I hadn't tried limeade

Because it said I had to?

Or is the question, WHY did I choose THIS username?

I love the movie.

[–] hamsammy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

From an old clip that played on a radio station back home "Sittin' on the porch with my ol' lady, eatin' a ham-sammich"

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am too lazy and boring for a username, so I just use my RL name.

I was really craving pancakes with maple syrup, but I was at home without pancake mix or syrup, and everything was closed because it was 3am.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

My name is the spell that I can cast in real life. Not as good as a real Muscle Wizard's, but it's something

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.
