My favourite track from the Journey OST by Austin Wintory was titled ‘Apotheosis’ and I wanted to understand its meaning. I adopted this username as a nod of respect to the game and its soundtrack because of its profound impact on my life.

It was my only non-bot account on this instance which only existed to create communities. My main account’s instance closed down so I made this my main.
I haven’t posted in !totallynotrobots@lemmy.world which I really should do as it’s the perfect username for that community.
- QuentinCallaghan ( @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz ) 3•1 year ago
Well, obviously Quentin Callaghan isn’t my real name. I got this from some online American name generator.
Honestly would’ve assumed irish
- Remy Rose ( @MxRemy@lemmy.one ) English3•1 year ago

- Vengefu1 Tuna ( @Vengefu1Tuna@lemm.ee ) English2•1 year ago
The thought of it was funny to me.
Well you were right lol. But I have to ask, why 1 instead of l, surely it wasnt taken
- Vengefu1 Tuna ( @Vengefu1Tuna@lemm.ee ) English2•1 year ago
Thanks! Glad you think so.
When I was creating the gamertag, someone else had the L version. I was surprised too.

- pseudo ( @pseudo@jlai.lu ) English2•11 months ago
Because I could’nt get it on Reddit. So first thing I did arriving in the Fediverse was to leverage the power of multiinstance to get the perfect pseudonyme.
Best part of lemmy is you can get any username, even if its taken theres other instances where it isnt.
- pseudo ( @pseudo@jlai.lu ) English2•11 months ago
What about yours ?
I got mine from that website childish gambino got his, forgot the website name.
- FlihpFlorp ( @FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee ) 2•1 year ago
My original gamer tag on Xbox was gameknight named after the Minecraft book series then when I moved to pc the name stuck around for a little bit on steam and eventually I wanted a silly placeholder name so it was SeñorFlipFlop.
Well the most temporary fixes are often the most permanent solutions and with the exception of discord all my usernames now are some variation of flip flop with my gta rockstar name being Flippy-Flopp and planet side being FL1P1E5FL0P

South Park reference for something I found funny. Not much to it other then that.
- siipale ( @siipale@sopuli.xyz ) 2•1 year ago
My username is a portmanteau of words siivu and viipale which are two different types of slices. I’m not sure if English differentiates these two types of slices but siipale is something between those two or both at the same time.
Anyway, in addition to being an interesting portmanteau my username sounds similar to sopuli so it’s a perfect fit for Lemmy.
That’s cool
