Your Avatar Explained

Mine is the main character Suzumiya Haruhi from Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu, also known as "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya"

It's one of my favorite anime shows! (Y)

Mint Adnade from Tales of Phantasia, but somebody has heard of Star Ocean? well... the creators of star ocean are original staff from the Tales of Phantasia game. Kosuke Fujima knows how to draw a girl (Oh~ my godess).

What is the story behind your avatar?

The purpose of this thread is to find the meaning of each other's avatar.

Mine: Need I say more? :p

Yes.

What's the point of starting a thread asking people to explain their avatar and then not explaining yours. Not everyone knows everything about games/tech etc ( I assume it's a character from a game).

Mine - well, i'm into rock/metal, and it's a guitar playing, head banging character.

Mine is Evil Teddy. No idea why, have had it for years :)

The teddy is from one of the early MSN Messenger builds IIRC. I gave it red eyes, a frown, and that flamy background myself :)

My avatar is actually my 40th birthday present from my wife -- she has a friend on the Internet who does custom portraits and avatars (website at http://www.dot2uk.com, and she commissioned this portrait for me because I'm a Star Trek fan (she says fanatic....but that's okay....because it's true.) Neat combination, too -- Capt. Kirk's uniform from Star Trek II-VI, and Geordi LaForge's VISOR from Star Trek: The Next Generation in place of my glasses. :)

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
