My name is dedicated to the Nine-Tailed Fox from League, who she is my main in Wild Rift.

PS: I haven't played Wild Rift after I felt tired of getting tilted in Ranked.

Someone once told me "pick two words and a number"

I did

Autocorrect kinda fudged mine up and I said go it.

It's a variation on what my wife calls me. It's been my username on forums and such for a long time.

Been using this user name since I made a PSN account when I was 12 lol

It's a reference to age of empires 2. My favorite game during my childhood.

Why?

Because one was required.

When?

2001, heading to Assembly '01, a large LAN event in Helsinki.

Or was it '02?

No one ever has had the user in anything I participate in

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was trying to figure out a username for another social media, and landed on this one after trying weird combinations of my name and birth year, none of which I like. Afterwards, it just stuck around because I became my life motto for many things as well.

I get mad sometimes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wanted something not related to my other usernames and I fucking love gyozas

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I used this name for a specific purpose, then that purpose became irrelevant. With the API fubar, I ditched both of my profile names though this does bone one purpose of one of the old aliases (for my NSFW work) so I may end up bringing it back in some form. I like this name better though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I just used the name I use on Discord and a few others places.

It was originally Toothless_NEO and still is on Reddit, Steam, and for some reason matrix but I changed it everywhere else I could because an asshole was harassing me and encouraging other people to harass me (had to actually pay money to change it in some places, Xbox live makes you pay to change your username).

childhood memory i guess

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Used to play a lot of games, some sci-fi, some fantasy... was lazy and didn't like having to come up with multiple names. It just kinda stuck.

Came to me in a dream

It's a reference to Buell Motorcycles and their tractor like engines.

Controversial

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's like shootin' the breeze, but old time sailor-y.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Wind... fire... All that kind of thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I actually forgot why

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago
