    @JawsIsTheNextKiller Thank you.

    Unironically, good friends started to call me like that on a daily base which lead to short version "Pii" which spread quite quickly. Everyone calls me "Pi" now (pronounced like "pee" in switzerland) without even knowing the origin of that nickname, thinking it has something to do with Pi, the symbol.

    When I drink too much when going out, I start to use it as an opener for conversations with cute girls as they always want to know why I'd want them to call me "Pee".

    I started my first account ever on YouTube with a stupid name that ony sounds cool when you're 9 years old in the 2000s.

    7 years later i went to a chatroom about a certain show i liked for the next few years.

    There you can pick up old accounts when they've been abandoned for long enough.

    After a few years, i finally managed to snatch the account Boss.

    It's short and without ugly numbers and symbols.

    Ever since then, i use Boss wherever possible.

    If Boss ain't available, i add my lucky number, which hasn't failed me yet. (That number is actual luck for me btw, won 3 prizes with just that number or including that number.)

    Back when I was 10, and my brother was 14, we used to play Roblox, and I made an account where my brother creatively named it Poweas. Pronounced poo-wee-ahs. I just liked the username. Most people tend to pronounce it as pow-ee-as. But yeah, the actual one is different. I just stuck with the username. It's funny because I only stopped playing Roblox when I was 15. I had a scary dedication to that game. But DBD is my only favourite game plus watching blocks run around is just weird honestly. But yeah, that's my origin.

    Only gaming account that has a different username is my XBOX.

    It's the same as my Steam name.

    Pyro because the 'Meet the Pyro' trailer was what made play TF2, one of my favourite games.

    I later added Dude because the main character of POSTAL 2, another game I really like, was named 'Postal Dude' and I thought Pyro Dude, sounded cool.

    So... my name kind of unoriginal

    Mine is due in part to him

    and in part to the fact that back in my years at the Art Institute of Urbino I would never color my drawings/doodles/cartoons (in italian, "Acromio" sounds like "acromatico", which means colorless).

    Because I Love Rock And Roll.

    Also, when I was really little I sucked at drawing faces, so I only drew people with helmets or masks, mostly knights because drawing a pot helmet is really easy (it's basically just a cylinder with a line and some dots). As a result I started to like knights and think they were cool.

    Not very interesting, but that's my story.

    Those dang people hook farming and ruining the match. It's not that many points. Good points in cleaning totems and you prevent NOED.

    I played Counterstrike back when it was a Half Life mod and would always use the Glock to shoot players from behind.

    My psn is Jane Austen related (jaustengirl) but I didnโ€™t want to risk being harassed - and since my name was taken already, I chose to go back to Austen and pemberley sounded the most lyrical (as opposed to say NorthangerAbbey.)

    if psn ever goes through with name changes, I might switch it to pemberley. Maybe then I wonโ€™t have to contend with creepy messages and random friend requests you know were made just because of the โ€œgirlโ€ in my name.

    My dad used to be in the Army when he was young and everyone called him and his friends "The Iron Knights". I thought it was cool, so I used it for my forum name and for my gamertag. ๐Ÿ™‚

    It's the same as my PSN and XBL name. The "SnakeSound" part came from an incident in 8th grade where a baby snake was in my classroom and most of the girls were freaking out about it, so I started making snake sounds to mess with them. My friends gave me the nickname a few days later. "222" came from a fake phone number I made up for a school project.

    If I should ever happen to see you if you are in PS4, I don't think I can ever kill you because of the reasoning behind your name...

    Killer's have hearts too.
