I have opened a merge request on Refined Hacker News (https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news) which is a pretty great HN extension for Firefox and other browsers. Thank you to OP

Edit: I'm pretty pleased with my blue Space Invader!

Cute, but I don't think it really adds much to the site. The content of the comment is much more important to me than whoever posted it. In a way, even the usernames are superflous.

Try looking at one of the threads in this post, I'm struck by how much easier it is to follow a discussion at a glance. You see pink avatar talking to green, pink, green, oh here comes orange. You immediately know someone new jumped in with new info.

Also yours kinda looks like a portrait of a middle aged 8bit character.

Edit: Gotta admit though, on the front page it looks kinda goofy.

Thanks. If you input the code multiple times it shows you a number of avatars equal to the number of times you input the code.

Got me to post for the first time just to see my guy.

You could have stayed in stealth mode by just going to your profile page ;)
