Quite a long story to be honest,

but to put it short, childhood dream game, supersmash brothers brawl, i'd always choose mario, owned basically every single mario game before selling it all, and "FST" being the name of a company an old accomplice used to own... pretty strange tbh.

Before this I was under the alias of "Mariofan1" as seen in my signature. Pretty obvious what that means :3

My middle name is Bjorn (pronounced Byorn). It's Norwegian for bear. I found a random adjective generator and just kept going until i got something that applied to me and sounded decent. I also go by Jobless Ducky(I just like ducks) and Joobels. I almost always use Joobels now. pretty much everyone who didn't know my real name would call me jobless so I just shortened it to Joobels cause I though it sounded good. Pretty boring I guess.

My old username was Pixelated_Panda, but that was way too long. I had a few friends in my Discord that I had met a few years back when I made YouTube videos actively, and I had a server with all of them in it. One of them, (his username is DrHectix on osu), started calling me Pundice but prounounced "Pun Dice", and I honestly don't know why he called me it. But I took it, and changed the pronounciation to "Pun-diss". And that's how I got my username. :D

When I was playing Tube Tycoon I had to think of a name and I was like "I need a really cool looking name". So I took the coolest letters in the alphabet (x, y and z), put them together with e and r to form Zeryx and then I capitalized some letters just for the looks. And when I wanted to name my osu account it told me that ZeRyX was too short, so added these [ ].
(Actually I wanted to make a new account named [ZeRyX] but I didn't know that you weren't allowed to do that, and so I had to use the supporter tag to change my name because before that my name was ShiroChoin and I don't wanna explain how I got that name...)

I sort of broke the rules coming up with the name “Canadian Baka”. I had another account I made agile ago. While playing on the account, I was playing multiplayer when I saw someone with the username “American Baka”. I thought this was hilarious but didn’t have the money for a name change, so silly ol’ Me went ahead and made a new account (back when the system was slightly less strict) and made an account called “Canadian Baka”. Luckily I was excused for multi accounting so I’m not banned. Yay!

2008-2009 I played this other game, Combat Arms. I was a kid, came up with this dumb name six_killer18, then stuck with it for all other games and other online stuff.

Killer was a cool thing to put in names for some reason, I put it in because it was a shooting game. "six" came out of nowhere, the under dash serves as a space, 18 is there just cause.

Keeping the name because of sentimental value above everything until I finally decide to drop it down the line (probably not very soon)

My other username was k2_____ (censoring it since it's my real name lol.) Found a 3 letter word that looks good (ded) and stuck a part of my old username there (KK, which is k2 or 2 Ks).

In other games, if that username is taken I'll just add a Z in there, resulting on dedzKK. If that's taken, then its dedKu for me after that idiotic MC in Boku no Hero Academia.

Before I played osu standard, I downloaded osu to play osu mania. I always make sure to make my username sound cool for the game I'm on. so I thought what username describes a great osu mania player? jazz-hands came up to my mind because of a movie one of my teachers showed us about the history of jazz, and the people there were really great at playing the piano.

As a kid, I was an weird weeby dumbarse and even though I never really watched Naruto, I knew there was a character nicknamed "Sand Eater" or something (what's his name ? Gara or something ?). Now, weeb kid me thought "w0wzies!!11 that very cool ! i need make name that sound like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And because I wanted to go all the way in my weebery because who the fuck knows, I wanted to add a Japanese word. I went for "stone". "stone" in French is "pierre". Now, a normal person would have simply used Google Translate, but the dumbass that I was didn't want an actual Japanese character and looked for another translator. I found one, but failed to realize all it did was translate the phonetics. So it gave me Pieru.

I hate this god damn name. osu! is the only place where I still use it because I don't wanna spend money for a name change.

Oh, and I actually found out when I started playing this game (for real) 6 months ago that "pieru" meant fucking "fart" in Finnish, so now everybody in Bancho thinks I'm Finn even though all I know about Finland is that they have saunas and alcohol. And murderous intent.

When I was in 4th grade, me and my friend wanted to make youtube channels to play Minecraft. I had no idea what to call myself and my friend suggested me "Zerox" and I thought it sounded cool. I just added a few numbers to it, they changed a lot over the years until I settled on 029. I created my Osu account under the username ""Zerox029" but when I was playing multi, people were mistaking the 0 for an o so I decided to change my username and I picked ZeroxPlaysOsu. I still regret it to this day.

A few years back I created an Xbox live account and a random username was generated for me. I wanted to change my username to something better but I couldn't think of one, my free name change also expired.

One thing led to another and now I use this name on anything that uses a username. But I usually put my full name anyways if there's an option.

Apparently LumpBloom7 is completely unused on most services so I never have to worry about my name being used by another person.

Years later when I started osu I though again, why the hell not. Now it is commonly mistaken as coming from the zinger burger in kfc and I wanna change it lol.

PuriPuri (プリプリ ) It's the SFX to express freshness (prawns, young girls etc), it also means chewy and tender. But that's not why choose it.. I like it because it's fun saying puripuripuripuri really fast. :>

Also this beautiful character ... it's one of my favs on One punch man

My old name used to be Penguinsanez. That originated from when I played club penguin back in like 2005. It's just the combination of penguin and insane. Very few people were able to pronounce it correctly, and a few people actually thought it said Penguin Sanchez, so that kinda stuck as a nickname of mine. Then I changed my osu name to that.

Honestly barely have a clue. I used to talk about how much of a noob I was at games a long time ago, and then I thought of ultima as ultimate so it's a like "Ultimate Noob" type of thing (even though ultima means last or something) I still suck at a lot of things so it's valid in a way.

It's really lame and I use it for everything nowadays so that's why it's my osu! name. I used to be called Vortexium, but I don't know where that came out of.
