    Old man yells at cloud time: I feel like naming yourself “Ninja” is something a 7 year old would do. I can’t take it seriously. It’s like naming your BG3 rogue “Assassin” or your music group “Guitarists”.

    But also I stay away from all influencers, so I don’t know what’s going on in that world.

      I mean, it’s not an influencer thing, it’s a common sense thing. His username on twitch used to be NinjasHyper. Common sense dictates that this is a fairly normal username because of the nature of usernames. Common sense also dictates that when addressing someone who you only know by the internet moniker of “NinjasHyper”, you’re going to call them Ninja or Hyper.

      naming yourself like a 7 year old is a good way to be popular as a streamer of a game 7 year olds play

        I expect most people don’t stick with their nickname from when they were a kid. The kid we called “green shit” (because he’d always play luigi) isn’t obligated to carry on that name. I mean, we lost touch, maybe he is, but somehow I doubt it.

          Most do, sounds like you just gave people abusive names and they just stop letting you call them that.

          Nicknames are what people call themselves, not the names bullies use lmfao, what a take.

            A. You extrapolated from one sample to a generalization. That’s not very sound. There were other nicknames but they were less memorable (eg: “curly” for the kid with curly hair)

            B. Giving yourself a nickname is kind of dubious. Not like shortening “Nicholas” to “Nick” , but like “Call me killer” is kind of laughable. Maybe that was just where I grew up, but if you just tried to give yourself a cool name it’d be laughed at as unearned.

              You understand that there’s a difference between “calling yourself” and “giving yourself” a nickname? The latter wasn’t stated by me, so I don’t know why you’re bringing it up.

              If your buddies called you killer, and you used it, that’s calling yourself the nickname. Of course it’s lame to give yourself one. But when you get introduced to people, using the nickname they would use is okay. You’re just spreading what’s already been given to you.

              Calling anyone green shit, even as a joke is just being a shit person, don’t need to extrapolate anything when you’ve laid it bare.

                You got me. Me and my friends were little terrible people when we were eight years old. Enjoy your victory.

        What exactly is “100% straight up hating”? Are other percentages available? Other directions? Verbs?
