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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours 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

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
