It's the name of my youtube and twitch channels.
The name is a bit of a long story using text to speech in Sea of Thieves to annoy another crew. Tried getting to to speak in an irish accent and misspelled "charms" and the way the TTS said "chamrs" was just hilarious. So there we go.
I had a bottle of maple syrup on my desk and I'm not a very creative person.
Its the same username I had at the other place that shall not be named, until I got permabanned for reasons still unclear to me.
I originally joined via the swimming sub there, looking for recommendations on waterproof music players to use while swimming so I can listen to AC/DC and Motohead etc while swimming laps. I'm a bogan (Australian and New Zealand slang for a person whose speech, clothing, attitude and behaviour are considered unrefined or unsophisticated) and I swim laps every day. Therefore..... waterbogan
Out of habit. It was my reddit username for almost a decade and the first thing that came to mind when I made a lemmy account.
Why I originally chose "justlookingfordragon" on reddit: I was looking for fellow Pokémon X/Y players with dragon-type safaris willing to share their codes, but the simplest usernames like "dragon" and "safari" were already taken, and "Imjustlookingforadragontypesafarikthxbai" didn't fit the character limit. I originally didn't even plan to keep the account, so I didn't care that the username was silly and awkward.
"Wolf Link" was a nickname that came later.
Just some random thing that comes on my mind at the time, i guess.
I like pretty assholes
To paraphrase a longer explanation, I’m a Nintendo fan, I like Mario games, I love the Bowser fights. I wanted some alliteration on that and Bashing came to mind. Played with that and ended with BowserBasher
The first time I tried karaoke, I was a bit intoxicated and worried that, having a common name, another Nick would get confused. My parents worked by full name incorrectly, so, I figured that that would be a great way to differentiate it, not realizing at the time that the name "Nick" itself normally has a "k" in it, making "Nick w/ a K" arguably more confusing. After sobering up, I found the whole concept wonderfully silly and decided to switch to it as my main screen name.
Because I wanted to be obscure and mysterious, but if I'd call myself MrMysterious I'd know deep inside that I'm a wanker.
Why not?
You can work it out yourself by looking at my instance name.
A real life nickname I've had since I was 7. I've just stuck with it for the past 26 years. It actually originated from the Beanie Baby Lizzy. And Izzy is just Lizzy the Lizard without Legs. 🐍
I was binge watching the show "Letterkenny" One of their plotlines was about a Ostrich. Allegedly.... Im Australian, No Ostriches, only Emus.
Self descriptive.
That is just who I am
Food you want to eat but won't risk your life for
What if Carl’s Jr. had a son
Way back in the day I wanted my club penguin to be named sparky, but that name was already taken. So club penguin recommended to me sparky678348
I like noodles
I hit randomize in a passphrase generator until it farted out a mental image that made me laugh.
I stopped taking my daily interval 💊
I liked Ren and Stimpy when I was a kid first getting on the Internet.
Star wars
I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds
I lived in Tropical country and iced cool water is the best
It's the back of my name stuck on the front of my name. Also hope it makes me sound like a knight of the seven kingdoms.
Two random nouns
I don't remember my username
Well, I'm waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven't landed a good post to do so...
Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames
Because fewer a's were all taken
My name is not Tony
It's my real name.
