I’ll go first, to set the tone:
Tay Zonday of ‘Chocolate Rain’ fame used to follow me on Twitter. 💪

I encoded one of the very first mp3’s ever made, when it was still a “theoretical” model by Fraunhofer. I sung “I will survive” but in my very bad impression of William Shatner, accidentally posted it many years later on Napster, and found that copy following around many years after that on a torrent site. So, if you have a very old, very fake “Shatner” singing “I Will Survive”, it might be me.
I’m 2 degrees of separation from Elon Musk, Max Levchin, and Tim Walz.
I spilled Diet Coke on Ann Coulter.
Clips from my very old Sven Co-Op youtube videos were used in the NoClip documentary about Half Life. One of the friends I played with too has some old clips used.
I wasn’t notified at all, I was just watching the documentary and basically did this:
Sven co-op was so fun! I thought it as so freaking cool at the time to be able to do that.
For a long time I was in the first image result if ‘London goth’ was typed into google.
I was my states chilli eating champion and even competed in the national championship
Back in WoW’s Burning Crusade days, my friends and I ran one of the most successful guilds on one of the most competitive servers. That was true before and after TBC, but during is when we became slightly known.
We had invented our own loot system in an attempt to make one that was fair. It was designed to be fair not only in regards to accumulating points with which to bid on items, but also to encourage and enable participation of both existing and new members. Anyway, it was complicated and it worked.
Our loot system ended up getting a short article written about it in some gaming magazine. I wish I had a copy of it. My one friend still does. I don’t even remember which magazine it was.
I was in the top 10 in gms maplestory for 6+ months back when Scania was the only server. I was level 100 when third jobs were first released.
A friend of mine and myself invented the word “twat-waffle” and no one ever believes me
Might be because they know that my friends and I did, decades ago. 🤌🏼
I was among the first hundred people to join Reddit.
I have a low-6-digit Slashdot account, and I was user 480 on the Minecraft bukkit forum lol
I was among the first couple thousand to join gmail.
People who think that my simple email address is their email address (which I guess is my email address plus some numbers or something) have become the bane of my existence in the years since.
I’ve had at least three different people on different continents provide my Gmail address to various services. I’ve ignored most messages meant for those people, but one gave it to his lawyer when he was charged with a serious crime for which his conditions of release forbade contact with children. I took the time to tell the lawyer that’s nothing to do with me.
Woah. Are you still on it now? Why or why not?
I am, with the obvious username. I mostly only post in /r/flashlight now, as it’s the most active community anywhere online for that niche interest.

Ratboy Genius said he liked my music
I was a disc jockey in radio, not clubs, off and on for several years. I was never a big name or well known.
I once came in 4th place in the world rankings on a Project Cars 2 time trial and used to regularly come in the top 5% on Gran Turismo time trials. I don’t really race on PlayStation any more though.
I was a top 1000 ranked player in R6 Siege for a while. Which sounds unimpressive to people who dont know that at one point there were about 30 million registered players.
Funny Story about that is that I decided to take a break because I was starting to take it too seriously. I was good but I wasnt going to go pro and I had a good job and a mortgage that I was putting at risk by staying up all night playing. So I actually really got into Angry Birds and Plants Vs Zombies for a while something easy enough to just put down and get some sleep… anyway I was at dinner with some of my wifes work friends a few weeks later and it came up that I was a gamer and one of her friends husbands asked me what I was playing and I said “Recently Angry Birds…” and before I could say anything else he turned into an absolute gatekeeping shitlord lecturing me about how that isnt real gaming and so on for about 5 minutes. Then he mentioned he played Siege… I couldnt help myself “Ive seen that, maybe I could add you on steam and try it out sometime” so a little creative account making later a few nights later I joined him in a few casual matches. I spent about 2 hours casually windmill dunking on him before I was like “Man this IS fun, but its getting late. I might head to bed, play a little AB before I crash out.”
He was at the Xmas party this year and he is still butthurt.
good on ya for playing it through instead of just correcting him on the spot
I lived next to air bud as a kid. My mom hated the dog because the owners would let it roam around and it would shit in our yard.
I was a primary source for “The FAQ Manual of Style” in 1996.
