I'm a nerd. I'm a Natalie. I'm a nerdy Natalie.

Honestly, Halo 3

Cool hobby from my past ….. plus for whatever reason lemmy didn’t like my generated username and I gave up

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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 started off on Discord as a joke I no longer remember the context of, and was originally just "PopeJoeI (as in Pope Joe the First)" , and then spread to other areas, like the site formerly known as Twitter.

Then Discord added the crowns to admins and it then became "PopeKingJoe" and that's that.

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.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s a thought

[–] victron@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Old internet nickname, back in the MSN Messenger days.

[–] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Would be a very long comment but it's a reference Black Kettle's betrayal and murder by General Custer.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I combined my dog's names (Kona and Loki) but fucked it up the first time I ever used it as a username. It was supposed to be "Kolonaki" taking the first two letters of Kona and the first two of Loki then alternating in the second half of both. KoLoNaKi. But I accidentally entered "KolAnaki" and just ran with it.

I liked it so much, I made it my fursona's name since before that name was just "Raccoon."

[–] Oxnvat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I couldn't come up with shit so I put a random word through a cipher and switched a few letters around

[–] ike@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Take a wild guess

I was in a little cafe in Taiwan and that's what we ordered.

I'm a fan of BNA's tanuki main character Michiru, and Summer Tanuki's storyline, and how Tom Nook's name is pun with Tanuki and...

The stars just aligned for me, I swear.

Akuma is a boss. Been my favorite all through my childhood.

[–] momentary@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

My preferred username was already taken a long time ago. This was meant to be a temporary replacement, but now this is my preferred username.

I was hungry

[–] Tempus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It was about time.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My username? Cuz I've had it since like 2003 or so, possibly even earlier. I'm a simple man, I like consistency.

[–] poplargrove@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't you worry people will be able to find what you were up to elsewhere in the past?

it's my name in Arabic, translated to English. very creative, i know.

[–] BigNote@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Because it's a pejorative term for a loud-mouthed know-it-all bloviating idiot and I like to keep myself humble and try not to take myself too seriously.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I thought it was funny
