Incidentally, if I meet you in real life and don’t recognize you it’s because I need to see your profile picture and name at the same time to connect it.

It’s only very embarrassing when I do that

Honestly, I have the same problem as well. I meet a lot of folks online, remember them by their pfp, and then have no clue who they are when we meet up at a con. I have to ask for their username. 😭🥲🙃

I remember @matthtaylor.com wearing a button or something of their pfp to conventions and I thought it was a genius move for exactly this reason

I'm the same, so thanks for pointing out your new avatar. New avatars often mean my brain pretending they're a whole new person.

I only have this one because The Wheel of Time is coming out. I will go back to my face in a month or so, with a name change.

So once every year and a half? I try and announce it first for accessibility reasons.
