Ask HN: What's the story behind your Hacker News username?
I've found some pretty interesting usernames here. The creativity is sometimes next-level!
If you have a unique and interesting username, curious to know the why and how :)
- aszantu 3y agolooked for a name for an evil player character in an mmorpg, back in the 2000 or so. The character lead a glorious life, and died a glorious death some day in 2005 or so, really hurt to let him go. He'd eat cats from the streets, traded slaves for money and information and generally acted disgusting and fearful like Gollum in Lord of the rings. I used him to explore my own and other ppls darker fantasies, ppl are terrible xD. Kept the name. It was created using dices and numbers on the alphabet. A=1, B=2 and so on.
