Is there a single out? I haven't even checked

Update: yes there is

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.

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

My crew are all over 55.

The zero build is fun, give it a shot

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

What do you feel about the name Gaga?

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The juxtaposition of the formal "Lady" and the babyish "Gaga" is mildly interesting.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

I'll give you that, "Lady Ninja" sounds way cooler.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 weeks ago

I like that it's an homage to the best band ever, Queen.

What about band/musician names? Isn't calling yourself The Boss, or Satchmo, or Hootie and the Blowfish, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Led Zeppelin "unserious"

And secondly why is being silly bad?

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Id go see a band called "The Guitarists"

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.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Not if you are using @ In that case you would use the full username.

I wanted to be like kids these days amiright, but yeah you had it right in the first sentence. You are actually just 100% straight up hating.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

This is 10% luck hating 20% skill hating 15% concentrated power of hating 5% pleasure hating 50% pain hating and 100% straight up hating

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And if that’s your nickname growing up and it sticks..? Gotta be a few dude.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

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.

Context? Were they beefing?

[–] AZERTY@feddit.nl 66 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It was something along the lines of Ninja inviting Gaga to play fortnite sometime and she's like who tf are you.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 20 points 2 weeks ago

I've seen it many times, but it would've made sense to post the things that Ninja fella said.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Who's ninja? (I really don't know)

[–] FozzyOsbourne@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That band is ridiculous. Fun to listen to, but I would probably not function well as friends with their main followers. They seem a bit intense and chaotic.

[–] FozzyOsbourne@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, the music's mad but have a read up on their antics if you want to not like them anymore!

Now you just confused me for a moment, and I was picturing him streaming Fortnite

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A very popular game streamer. This post is pretty old, at least a year.

A previously very popular game streamer

How old is this? She has at least one skin in Fortnite because of the rhythmic game mode.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 28 points 2 weeks ago

In fairness, I can imagine her channelling her inner Lucille Bluth if she was asked by one of her staff if she wants to be in Fortnite for some sum of money.

It's very much a "nod your head to receive free money" situation.

2:45PM, Oct 16, 2019. So this post would be 1959 days, 12 hours, 59 minutes and 18 seconds old. (Feb 26 2025 03:44 UTC+1)

Yea, this is Lemmy dang it!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

You mean to tell me there isn't a Lady Gaga skin in Fortnite? They got everyone and everything else 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are several as they released a music mode/rhythm game and she was featured in a pass.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Right? Or Bjork's swan dress.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Fortnite is the new version of Unreal Tournament.

[–] chaoticnumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fortnite is to UT, like a Dacia is to a porsche.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Cool. Now I just need another analogy to explain the comparison between a Dacia to a Porsche.

[–] chaoticnumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Errr ... fine. I have a bias. I didnt like fortnite. I grew up playing twitch shooters like quake and UT. The most important things that mattered back then was movement, positioning and ofcourse, aim.

Aim was a huge huge part, back then the input was as analog as it got. Nowadays I feel like raw aim has taken a step back, while still being important, It is not THE diferentiating factor any longer, especially in games like fortnite.

I'm bitter about that because my mechanical skill is still up there even as an older dude, but in todays games everyone runs circles around me, especially in games like fortnite.

I miss the arena shooters, the raw input feel of 1:1 of the analog days. But I guess I'm just another older guy screaming at a cloud.

Closer to a paraded corpse than a new version

Oh you silly Gaga, it's Forknife.
