Combined a few numbers that are meaningful to me, turned it into hex, and here we are.

Huge fan of GWAR and always used their lead singers name for online accounts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can’t wait until some internet rando types “GWAR” into a search engine and watches a video… fantastic.

Easily my favourite band. Seen them in concert many times and it never gets old.

RIP Brockie

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

By all accounts Brockie had an epic send off. The band did him proud.

A half-assed variation of "bah humbug"...

I stole it from some old-timey sailors who were shooting the breeze.

Main character from The Darkness that Comes Before/The Prince of Nothing series by R. Scott Bakker. Liked the character, liked the name, loved the books.

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

my dad came up with it on his own and I adopted it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Trimmed down version of my 'sona's full name "lythlphene" which I came up with kinda randomly in a weird creative mood early in the morning, it's intended to mean something like "earthy creature". I decided that I shouldn't change or tweak it afterwards since I would have just kept overthinking it and never been satisfied

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I just really like the character.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I learned how to solve a Rubik's cube and figured I could make a username out of it.

Plus, it doubles as a reference to a pixel on a screen and I'm a security engineer, so... It kinda works both ways.

As with all my online accounts:

  • Visit a name generator website.
  • Find one that doesn't suck.
  • Check if it's available.
  • Here we are.

And each has a different email address. I hope adtech loves me. 😁

I like penguins and 90s nostalgia. It's a Legends of the Hidden Temple fake team name.

Could I have gone for the alliteration? Perhaps. But Purple Parrots already existed. And I don't like pink.

I am the pretty Guardian in a sailor suit who fights for love and justice!!!

My xbox Gamer tag was oXOrangeBudXo because i was very cool and unique and just started smoking weed. I then went normal and was OrangeBud in different ways. Then Orange because i didnt smoke anymore. And then PixelOrange because i like the pixels. And if that name is taken, its PixeIOrange with upper i.

My dad didn't know my birthday.

I wrote several stories about a gardevoir named Azula.

She then later became my fursona, so the name stuck as a replacement for a past username

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It's still just random.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It's vaguely related to my old reddit user name.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Minor changes to the random name generator from EvE online and World of Warcrack.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I'll give you one more guess...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

A sundry, torn asunder.
