mines beau biden - no reason lol.
edit: up yours profile pictureless downvoters, we’ll see who cancels who in the end
We have profile pictures?
I didn’t know there were profile pictures. I don’t see them in my app and that won’t be changing.
Exactly what my name promises, no story.
I’ll give you two guesses.
An AI generated image community had a thread that boiled down to “just use your username as the prompt.” And Captain Redmond Aggravated, Airline Transport Pirate was the result.
My PFP is pixel art of my Minecraft Skin made by a PlanetMinecraft Creator . My Skin
I’m too lazy to add one.
I love music ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was looking for something kinda cool, that was completely nondescript and anonymous.
As fellow lemm.ee user I can understand your pain. I also want to upload a banner that I make.
Wait, this is instance-specific? Darn. Though I don’t want to sign up again just to have my Picture Day selfie as my avatar. Sorry Timmy Turner’s dad :(
Mine’s a Lemming in bed - it’s the busy pointer from Lemmings Amiga version.
The reason is because Lemmy = Lemmings, and asleep because this was an account which wasn’t intended to be used (I switched to it when my previous instance closed down).
I could bullshit that the smoking chimp is a comment on human nature or whatever, but the truth is: someone sent me this pic, pointing out that he holds his cig the same way that I do when I’m drinking in a photo. And that was right when I was looking for online avatars, since I didn’t want to use devils any more (too “edgy teenager”).
More than a decade later, here I am, still with smoking chimp avatars.
easy to crosstrack yiur profiles though, espexually wutg the same metadata
It is, but I only use it for online identities that I don’t mind associating. Plus the username is a bigger concern in this regard.
Also, often I use other smoking chimp pics, although this one started it out for me.
Took my brane out, turns out it’s really smuuth.
My profile picture (and part of my username) is a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker. It is a specific model of guitar amplifier cabinet speaker. While it is used all over music, it is a huge part of the modern sound of metal. IMO its tailored frequency response and its specific nonlinearities at moderately loud volumes are uniquely important in producing a slick and modern-sounding metal guitar tone.
I can’t record actual guitar cabinets at the moment because I live with family, but I still use a family of homemade impulse responses that I recorded from my cabinet to play guitar [1]. 9 times out of 10 I solely use an impulse response where the cabinet was loaded with a Vintage 30 (specifically, one of the special ones ripped out of a Mesa Rectifier cabinet). Even when I’m not looking for a “generic modern metal” sound, I typically use a blend of a Vintage 30 and another speaker.
Vintage 30’s are not “vintage”, they’re not 30 inches, they’re not 30 watts, they’re not from the 1930s…I’m honestly not sure where the name comes from.
[1] What I am saying here is that I simulate the sound of the speaker.
