[[folder:fishsicles provides examples of:]]
* [=~all lowercase letters~=]: The username is always done as "fishsicles", not "Fishsicles". NO EXCEPTIONS that I remember. Might be wrong.
* {{Asexuality}}: [[NeverLiveItDown Although according to the Internet this does not include]] [[{{Portal}} artificial]] [[SystemShock intelligences]].
* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Worldbuilder's disease present and accounted for!
* BadassLongcoat: All of the coat, [[SubvertedTrope none of the badass]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality
* BrilliantButLazy: Emphasis on the "lazy".
* CargoShip: People ship me with my computers. There may or may not be good reason for this.
* CatchPhrase: "Interesting..." and variants.
* CharacterAlignment: Either ChaoticNeutral or TrueNeutral.
* CloudCuckooLander
* TheCynic: [[{{Metaphorgotten}} "Most of what I say will be in jest; beware though my clouds of cynicism, bringing the heavy rain of sarcasm and the lightning of dismissal onto the parade of your happiness."]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Emoticon}}: While I usually detest them, I came up with ";E" a while ago and have been using it frequently since. [[spoiler:It means "winking Cthulhu" ;E]]
* GoodWithNumbers: I finished Calculus III at ''seventeen''.
* HollywoodAtheist: Has some of the traits, particularly the transhumanist leanings and cynicism.
* InsufferableGenius: Not even going to deny it.
* KnightInSourArmor
* LargeHam: When I am not TheStoic, I am this. My reactions to segmentation faults can be ''truly'' glorious, as anyone who has coded with me on IRC can attest.
* {{Lurker}}: ''Always watching. Never seen.''
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: Created the TroperTales page.
* TheMadHatter
* TheMadnessPlace: Known affectionately as "hackertime".
** ForgetsToEat
** TheSleepless
* MadMathematician
* [[MadScientist Mad Programmer]]
* NiceHat: A trilby.
** Now bolstered by a fedora with ear flaps. (It is [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Minnesota]], after all...)
* OldShame: Or as I like to call it, "stuff I wrote yesterday".
* PathOfMostResistance: I manually debug my code, because I have gotten used to doing it that way (rather than using debugging software). Apparently this makes me a lunatic.
* PlayfulHacker
* ProudToBeAGeek: Hell, I talk in [[TooMuchInformation unnecessary detail]] later this page about how I shoehorn geeky references into my source code. About all you need to know, right there.
* RantInducingSlight: Ask me why I hate Java. [[SchmuckBait Just ask.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: [[MoodSwinger In one person.]] My demeanor rapidly alternates from "understated, bored expressionless bastard" to "hammy, overenthusiastic smirking bastard".
* ShoutOut: Almost every program I have written has the variable declaration "char newtype" somewhere in a constructor. What? It is the ''new'' value for the ''type'' variable, of type ''char''. [[BlatantLies Absolutely nothing to do with]] [[MobileSuitGundam telepathic pilots of red mecha]].
** Not quite as popular, mostly because [[AwesomeButImpractical it serves no practical purpose]], is [[ZetaGundam "typedef char quattro"]].
** ''SweetBroAndHellaJeff'' references pop up often enough for me to make up the term "Sweet Code and Hella Comments". Usually along the lines of "//fuck im falling down all these for loops", "//i warned you about recursion bro i told you man"[[hottip:*:This one was on the terminating condition of a recursive function; in other words, it made sure it does not [[FridgeBrilliance keep happening]].]], "//the socket ruse was a... distraction", "//this section has too many... TEMPLATES and VARIABLES", etc.
* TheSmartGuy: While my friends and I argue over specific roles in the FiveManBand, this one is pretty much universally accepted.
* TheStoic: Typically, [[LargeHam although...]]
* StylisticSuck SignatureStyle DarthWiki/IdiotProgramming: My testbed code uses "[[LogicBomb std::assert(1==0)]]" to force programs to exit in an unpleasant manner, which is [[CaptainObvious not a particularly nice way of handling it]], but stays there because a) I am never going to use that code and b) I find it hilarious.
* {{Ubermensch}}: InvokedTrope.
* VerbalTic: Uses "Hm." a lot. Even/especially in text.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Suffice to say that photophobia kind of blows.

If I ever interject C++ into my conversations, just remember that thinking in human languages [[TheMadHatter is for sane people]] before slapping me upside the head.

I stick with "fishsicles" for almost everything I do, so if you spot the username there is a rather solid chance it was/is me. My actively maintained memberships are extremely fluid so the odds that I am still actively posting are extremely low. [[http://www.fishsicles.net I have a website.]] That is presently down.
