I’m Romanian and I recently came across the definition of bangmaid which fits me perfectly, so that’s how my username came to be.

The Testament album "the new order"

I am a big fan of the game Prey, and mixed it up with pokemon :-)

[–] enshu@lemmy.world 1 points 34 minutes ago

My dad gave me the nickname. I always loved it.

I'm an annoying vegan. Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, earthling ed?

[–] faceula@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Dracula but with a face.

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

I think I used one of these "turn your name into a fantasy name" generators in like 2007 and changed it a bit and that is my username pretty much everywhere now.

[–] Sudomeapizza@lemm.ee 1 points 50 minutes ago

Give me pizza or else

I'm Darren and here I am in the 'net

[–] nihilist_hippie@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Sometimes my mind goes dark places like nihilism, but deep down I think we should all be nice to each other.

[–] nibble4bits@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 hours ago

Nostalgia. Now it's pretty much obsolete computer terms. When I was a kid, half of a byte was still relevant in computer programming on an Apple 2 Plus computer. One nibble (also can be spelled nybble) is equal to 4 bits.

The big bad wolf.

I see what you did there.

[–] JayGray91@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

It started as johngray, like an alt to John doe, then I shortened to jgray (J. Gray) . I keep using jgray for signups instead and either some sites say that's too short and/or forum members keep calling me jay so here I am

U can guess what 91 means

You better filesystem check yourself before you filesystem wreck yourself

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours ago

Wanpies is a way to say one piece, the anime. Made this name years ago and re-used it here.

It's been almost a year since I've caught up with the manga tho

[–] WILSOOON@programming.dev 3 points 3 hours ago

Everyone always assumes its fro m castaway. Its nnot from castaway, its from this little internet shit series called gorgeous freeman. Heres a taste: youtube.com/watch?v=a70fFYaVxeA . Also if anyone has this sound effect raw, please let me know, ive been searching for it for years.

[–] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

I made this account wanting to try to be chaotic and unhinged for a change, but I couldn't do it :c

[–] joel1974@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

My birth certificate

NFS 3 cheat code

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I needed a 90's hacker sounding username for a Matrix Online RP server back in the day and this was somehow not taken.

A dilbert cartoon from the mid 90s. Long before Scott Adams revealed his complete asshattery.

It's just who I am.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I was goddamn promoted from motherfucking commander.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

Tenno, dream not of what you are. But of what everyone else is, in a very contrarian way.

I was really into warframe when I made this account, hehe. I might pick it up again soon, who knows. But it's more fun to catch up than stay current, so it may be a while.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

Idk, it sounded pleasant.
