Explain Your Username

[GamerBoyManuel16]

My first username was ManuEmo (or Manu-3m0 / Manu3m0) like Manuel (my first name) and Emo, then a bit later i switched to GamerBoyManuel16 i have that name as i was 16 when i've chosen it xD, so its: I'm a Gamer, a Boy and my First name is Manuel, age 16

I'm sometimes also called LittleBruceLee, that's the name classmates gave me/call me, i usually use it when GamerBoyManuel16 is already taken (had it a few times Idk XD)
 

[RealFlameknight]

The name FlameKnight, added the Real only to certain sites, I made up when I was eight. At the time I thought the word fire, translated to English, would sound cool. Then I added the knight because I watched a movie called "Black Knight" with Martin Lawrence and liked it. Thus FlameKnight was made as a username for my legal copy of Minecraft. I've been using it for everything ever since.

[rafe_28]

[da na]

Wat3rmelon8523 was my gamertag years ago so I kept the melon + replace a letter theme. Used to be Wat3rmelonman or something like that but changed it 

[jones177]

Still Jones177.

I already add to this post and did not remember.

I should change it to TOFARGONE.

 

[Avocado Diaboli]

Got a couple of places where I used to go as Advocatus Diaboli, or devil's advocate, because I sometimes like to argue for the sake of arguing without even representing my actual views on something. Either to explore how I feel about something or to force others to do so. Changed it to Avocado Diaboli when my partner misread it as such and I liked the mental image of a horned avocado.

[randomGuy512]

Well now I'm just a random guy.   

 

And I have messed with binary (currently building a binary clock, and by that I mean procrastinating over building a binary clock) so 512 was topical.  

[Queen Chrysalis]

Back when I started browsing I saw a use called Princess Cadence and I thought it would be funny to make one named Queen Chrysalis and uses the imposter face as an avatar.  Still haven't changed it.  I'm 84Hoops in literally everything else, football number and my love for pickup basketball.

[adarw]

wellllll my school made it for me.... it was made for my school gmail account, i liked the sound of adarw fun fact tho, some people have the name adar, i didnt know this until i was in a small twitch stream that thought my name was adar. 

[HQuan]

HQuan is short for Hedwig Quan, my username.

The name Hedwig Quan came out when I make my discord account. Hedwig was the first thing in my mind, so I paired with my name, Quan. Hedwig Quan.

 

Later, I realize that Hedwig is name of a snowy owl in Harry Potter films.

512? What does it related to binary clock?

Sorry, i'm not a pro in binary clock((s).

[PianoPlayer88Key]

Can't remember if I replied to this topic before (and a quick search doesn't turn anything up) so ...

 

I play the piano, and I use the entire range of the piano keyboard when I do.   (Most pianos have 88 keys, some very old acoustic ones have less, for example 85 was common in the mid/late 1800s, into the early 1900s in some places, and some cheap digital keyboards have less, like 76, 61, 49 for example.  I've also played a few pianos with 92 and 97 keys, and know of a couple with 102 and 108.)

512 is just 2⁹ and I've been using binary enough to have memorized the powers of 2 up to 2¹³ = 8192.  512 is the highest 3 digit power of 2, and all the low numbers of randomGuy had been used (I have the same name on reddit etc.) so I just went for a 3 digit one.

In case you didn't know binary is base 2 counting, meaning that it can be read like this: 

2³s  2²s  2s   1s

0     1     0     0                          =4 (1×2²) in decimal

 

Just like our decimal system is base 10 so it is read like this, with 10²s being 100s etc.:  

10³s  10²s   10s    1s (or units)

5        2        3        0

Ahh interesting.  Yeah I recently was learning a bit of binary counting, but have forgotten some of the basic building blocks (hopefully temporarily, maybe if I "refresh" myself it'll start coming back.)

I've memorized a few powers of 2 numbers myself ... I think I've recently lost a few but let's see what I can remember without looking it up...

[Anghammarad]

Well I had many Handles in my days... 

My current one Anghammarad is quite fitting I think... I thieved it from a Discworld Novel Going Postal I think, there he was one of the oldest Golems who was still working and helping as good as he could. Then after helping dousing a fire water did hit him in his red hot glowing state and he explodet into dust... Finding his final rest. 

 

I myself am waiting for the water to come ^^

Damn, and here all I can do is this (because I was board in 8th grade math 18 years ago and there was a banner going all the way around the room).

Hehe, all I remember is 3.1415926589846 .... somewhere around the 10th or 13th digit or so my memory of it starts to differ from what I've recently seen π assigned.   (Also back in the day when I had a calculator with a π function, something like that was the number that it would return.)
