Some internet users switch up usernames for every website, while others stick to a sort of "brand". Tiiimezombie is the latest "brand" username this individual uses widely, initially for gaming and the like.

Steam
The username was created for Steam on June 1, 2013. The user claims their goal was to create a "cool" username "without any numbers on the end." Their first "purchase" was Team Fortress 2 (it was free, though an items was purchased on the market to allow weapon drops).
Through no specific effort on their part, several years later one of tiiimezombie's Golf With Your Friends custom maps would receive a fair amount of downloads and plays. Negative comments were considered "inspiring," says tiiimezombie, as such comments were "evidence that the map emotionally resonated with those players."
Tumblr
In 2013, tiiimezombie joined Tumblr. This is their absolute favorite social media website, according to first hand accounts. They run a modest blog with no strong content consistency, and rarely make personal posts. Their most popular post is an edit of a Little Witch Acadamia screenshot, followed by a Slay the Princess weed meme.
After a year or two of retweeting game development gifs, tiiimezombie created an account on [legal name no longer a funny bit] to follow dozens of artists and post fan art of their own. They deactivated July 8th, 2025; citing the leadership's prized chatbot switching answers to "nazi shit."
Youtube
Historians debate exactly when tiiimezombie first showed up on Youtube. The initial videos would have been like youtube skits and gaming content.
Their only video that has a notable number of views is a YTP edit of a Hubba Bubba Glop commerical, one that, according to experts, is still quoted by tiiimezombie and their sister to this day.
Twitch
Tiiimezombie joined Twitch in 2016. They got into vtubers because of their sister. VividlyVivi was the first streamer they were exposed to. That said, early into the 2020 panini, tiiimezombie stumbled upon content by Nyanners, and quickly grew obssessed. They would watch her content after work religiously for a year following.
Oddly, it wasn't until they actively started watching VividlyVivi, NaiyoSpede, ImamuraCross, and Piffle that they truly came into their own as a member of a chat community. This is most evident within ImamuraCross's discord, the one place that a given twitch member could speak with tiiimezombie directly! They make jokes whenever possible in other Twitch chats, but it's harder to make an impact when the audience is too big.

The Super Mario Wiki
The username Geniusguy445 was created in 2010 for the Super Mario Wiki. from a love of Shy Guys and a belief you need numbers for a username to be unique.
They only editted a few actual content pages, but quickly grew obsessed with markdown as a web language. They most loved creating 'userboxes,' which were small rectangles containing an image on the left and some identifying caption on the right. The base ones were small, such as "This user's favorite game is Super Mario World" or "This user is an amateur programmer." Quickly, the stack grew as they made strings of joke boxes about everything they could think of tangentially related to the wiki or userboxes in general. At the time of writing, they're still midway trying to convert the tower to direct html to both preserve and add on more recent or relevant sentiments.
The Game Ideas Wiki
A Super Mario wiki user invited them to join the Game Ideas Wiki in 2010.
This individual was actively part of the GIW for approximately 5 years. They contributed to 5 or so actual articles. As highlights, they had to appeal to the community managers of the parent company to be given authority on the wiki as 'bureaucrat' and 'administrator' - user rights manager and webmaster respectively. At the time, there were only two other users. One split off to make a crossover-OC series idea, which tiiimezombie helped make art for.
More importantly, they used their admin rights to completely redo the site navigation and theming to attract more users, as well as 10 or so separate major homepage revisions to help new users get started quickly. This is where they learned about favicons and SEO. Forum posts indicate they enjoyed that work more than writing down game ideas, despite having an endless set to choose from. The list hasn't shorted, but tiiimezombie uses more asynchronous note taking systems (like Google Keep and Notion.so).
SmackJeeves
SmackJeeves was a smallish webcomic hosting service. This individual had their own comic about shy guys, which is now rehosted here. They also helped do the webpage design for their younger sister and another random user who was making a Homestuck-like comic. To this day they're very proud of how they reworked the templates to allow the pinned 'author comment' to be the green text format Homestuck uses.
Days of time were spent reading a mix of sprite-rip comics and genuine handdrawn work. They would use the built in RSS feeds to keep tabs on comic updates, and it was a huge part of their routine checking all their comics. These days, they follow a lot fewer webcomic stories, but they are always willing to share recommendations.

Glossary
tiiimezombie
tiiimezombie: (time-zom-bee, english) - a. A stylization of "time zombie" combining the name with the species' vernacular moan (i.e. braaainzombie for context). b. an internet user who created the concept
time zombie - a shambling undead craving an extension of time over sustanence. In mythology, a time zombie's bite would literally steal time from a victim. With the surplus, such zombies may choose to take multiple bites simulaneously, undo recent damage to themselves or store that potential for later. Victims often visibly age from a bite, leaving it a less than subtle injury. Whether a bite is fatal or zombifying seems up to the story. Many stories note a time zombie's interest in clocks/watches, though whether this is a substitute food or just a shiny distraction is debated.
GeniusGuy445
GeniusGuy445 (jean-yus-guy, english) - a. A username alluding to an original Super Mario themed species of Shy Guy.
Genius Guy - A reasonably smart Shy Guy that drives a small clown car, like Medi Guy, but one that shoots lasers.
