Your Username And You

I suffered from having a laptop with Windows ME installed and I regularly threatened it with an upgrade to Windows 98 !  I only used it when away from home, but eventually it crashed once too often and was replaced.

I think Windows ME must be the worst OS Microsoft have ever released* Windows Vista wasn't good, but it wasn't bad as long as you didn't ask too much of it.

 

* My own opinion is that Windows ME wasn't actually released, it escaped and was never recaptured.

I became very well acquainted with Darik's Boot-n-Nuke program back in those days. Every time the PC caught a virus, I'd wipe the hard drive clean and reinstall the OS. Had to save any files that would fit on those old 3.5" floppy disks to prevent losing them. If they were too large to fit on those, I'd burn them on CDs. Gotta say, I'm loving cloud storage these days.

And yes, I'd take Vista any day over ME. Sometimes I used to think ME was itself a virus.

I have an obsession with death. Everything death. I got the username from my own mental health, as I feel like and believe I am a walking dead person, a corpse perhaps, and I feel out of my body, and out of this world.  Edgy, Dark, I know - but that's something of a person I am, and it's just become me. 

So people called me "D" online, because of my handle "Death" which my obsession with death was expressed a lot online, hence the nickname "D". 
I also get the nickname "D" because of my name "Dimitrios" which means "Earthly being" in greek I believe.

Between the age of 11-14 I used to go on a chatroom on an old flash game website called SFG. I had a lot of friends on there, and it was a good place to socialize for somebody who was extremely socially awkward at school. I used to go by RZ on there because the letter combination looked qutie cool on the chat, plus I was top of the hours online ranking a lot so new members would instantly recognize me online. I continue to use it primarily because I can't think of anything better and it's relatively unique.

Also, it doesn't stand for anything, but I'm open to suggestions. I always liked Radical Zebra.

Kinda coming at it from a synthwave angle, but... Retro Zebra, perhaps? Or Retro Zombie?

Full disclaimer: I'm not great at naming things.

Retro actually seems to match your preference for older anime pretty well.

As for Z … Zeitgeist?  

zeit·geist /ˈtsītˌɡīst,ˈzītˌɡīst/ -noun- the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time; the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era.

But given the Deadpool 2 inference … maybe not

I do like Zebras, so perhaps this is not such a bad idea.

Very intellectual! That would make me appear far more sophisticated than I truly am, which is right up my street

 

[Wai_Wei1]

I chose Wai_Ei because its just a really funny name. Another reason is because of George Harrison's song named "Wah-Wah". There really isn't much reason other than I thought it was a cool name!

[Wickett]

At this point in life, I realize that to some degree my username is a bit cringe as the hip youngsters say, but the backstory is somewhat wholesome and it stuck.

Approximately 18 years ago I found out through a Return of the Jedi game for the SNES that the main Ewok in the movie's name was Wicket. My father and I already had a long running joke about how funny and cool the Ewoks were to us, and when I found this out from the game I started using Wickett with an extra "T" because I felt it looked better and more balanced. 

Later I began to use iWok as a play on the original Apple iPod commercials while still keeping Ewoks involved. It was around this time that I started a YouTube channel (one I only really started using a few months ago believe it or not) and the name Wickett was already taken, so I went with WickettTheiWok. To this day I still use Wickett and in some games where that's too long I go by Wick.

[Zeref]

Zeref is just from the anime Fairy Tail and happens to be my favorite character so I chose the name. 

[Animedragon]

Animedragon comes from the fact that I like anime and I like dragons, so it sort of fitted. Actually, quite a few of my on-line names have 'dragon' in them somewhere .

[Forlorn]

I chose my username because it's what I feel like after my big sister passed away. With mom being my only reliable relative I have left, all that's going to be left after her is me, so, after going through a number of different usernames, I eventually settled on this one. Thanks to the encouragement of a best friend of mine I'm going to keep it. Plus, this way people don't have to guess what my new username is going to be next time. ^^; 

[r1bit]

a few years ago i was watching a roblox youtuber flamingo and he mentioned how he originally wanted to name himself ribbit. i didn't have a set user so i went "yup good enough" so now its like this

[Libidine]

Libidine is the greek word for lust, which just happens to be the name of my favorite FMA character!

Kotaro Lawliet is the merger of two characters that for the most part exemplify my inherent nature.
It is missing a core aspect of me, that, if I were as of now forced to complete, I would do so by making the full name,

Kotaro Tadano Lawliet.

However, it, and none of the other contenders are a perfect fit : Sakuta, Tomoya, Bell and Wang Ling.

[neverletmego]

I chose this name because I love being held.

[Kirika_Madeleine]

Well my username is based on my two favorite characters

 

Kirika Yuumura from Noir

Madeleine from Madeline 

[froggy]

My username is because I love frogs. They're stupidly odd looking.

[Zenki]

I chose Zenki after the Zenki Toyota 86-GT race car in MF Ghost, it's a cool car nice'n fast 86 was a good year for me as i left school in 1985 and was on some kind of apprenticeship and got my first proper job in 1986 and i left my parents home that year too

[Sarada]

I chose Sarada for the simple reason that my sister's username on here is Sakura and one of my best friends users is Sasuke. They also made me do it : > 

I also like Sarada as a character if I'm honest. I haven't watched all of Boruto but she is hands down my favorite in the series. 

[Kikyou]

Kikyou is based on Kikyo in the anime / manga InuYasha. I feel a little bit like her in some parts of my personality. I was too betrayed however a lot by people. So for a little time when I was younger I too hated people, like she hated Inuyasha for what he did. Though we all know wasn't on purpose in the anime / manga. I always loved how she looked, she's very pretty to me and she was misunderstood in some parts on the anime ( if I remember correctly thought ) I always wanted to cosplay her too and still due but money is tight for me still even after high school.  Lastly I remember in the show her pain and anger so I can relate a little bit like that as well.
