I don’t mean my username! Yours!

I guess this is more of a game and maybe not strictly the right place. But, the idea is to make a top level reply with you asking ‘guess’ or saying ‘:)’ or what have you, and everyone else should answer what they think the username means or refers to, without looking any words or concepts up! Off the cuff, what do you think it means when you see this person’s username?

Not sure about the mobile apps, but if you hover over someone’s name in Lemmy it will show their username if they have a display name set. My username is quite boring and straightforward, but I like seeing other people’s weird usernames especially on semi-anon places.

Bonus: What do you visually think when you read it? Even if you misread it as a typo, what did you imagine when you read it & saw their avatar?

      ulu mulu no die sounds like a spell! which the no die is obvious. or it’s a caveman situation of referring to themselves not dying “Ulu Mulu no die today”

        Not that far off, not actually a spell, but it’s a fantasy videogame, and the “no die today” is right :D

        It’s from Gothic, an awesome standalone RPG series released more than 20 years ago. Ulu-Mulu is a symbol of peace that you have to craft and wear at some point into the story to avoid being killed on sight while entering a city full of orcs. An orc shaman is helping you in your quest and he keeps saying “stranger wear Ulu-Mulu stranger no die”, it was so cute that I “adopted” it into my username.

          wow!! I’m surprised I kind of got the sentiment from it. It is oddly cute.

            It is indeed! If you’re into RPGs I highly suggest Gothic, it’s a fantastic game, if you can stand 20 years old graphics that is lol, but once you’re into the story you won’t mind the graphics being so old, having a compelling story makes up for it IMO.

              I’m all about crunchy old graphics, those are the best kind.
