I was hoping to be generic. Also, to add to articles and photos on lemmy, I wanted random photos from users. I don't even care what they are. So far I've seen a beautiful landscape.

Always wanted to be a TIE Pilot...

/Empire did nothing wrong.

Never tell me the odds

I left a shaker cup with some drink mix in there for weeks, totally forgot about it. Now it's a science project

In memory of the Apollo app. RIP.

I have a degenerate, coomer obsession with the character Widowmaker from Overwatch.

Am arcane and slimy, was descriptive.

It's been my internet identity / haxxorz handle since the 1990s, and the story is about as benign as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and his black-and-yellow striped sweater.

I guess I’m a sucker for puns.

I was hungry

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was really craving pancakes with maple syrup, but I was at home without pancake mix or syrup, and everything was closed because it was 3am.

Nakari has "existed" since I was a teenager. Started off as a character I used in writing as an outlet, but slowly the name also became a handle for me. Hell, I guess an entire "presence" since it's my go-to for most sites.

Lexfortaine came around because I wanted something vaguely "proper" sounded in a D&D game, and I never actually got around to giving the character Nakari a "canon" last name. It worked well enough for an asspull, and has just been tracked on ever since. Grown to like it, actually. Feels more like a proper name.

It’s a thought

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

[–] duckington 2 points 1 year ago

[–] mrchampion 2 points 1 year ago

Years ago, when I was around 13-14, I wanted a "cool" sounding username, since I was also sick of coming up with usernames for websites. I did some thinking, and came up with "Mr.Champion". Used it ever since.

[–] spaceduck 2 points 1 year ago

It's such a majestic creature.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

An inside joke

[–] mruniverse 2 points 1 year ago

I love thinking about the universe and I'm a guy. Not much too it. lol.

[–] MrSilkworm 2 points 1 year ago

Been using it for so long, that I forgot how I chose it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because it said I had to?

Or is the question, WHY did I choose THIS username?
