What is Lex? Baby don't hurt mehome    blog    young lex chronicles    portfolio    about me

Seventeen years ago, a woman in Arizona went into labor.

Seventeen years later, the byproduct of that labor session rambles about things that only
he cares about.

What is your name?

My name is Lex, but around these parts I go by "lexdoes", all lowercase.

That username doesn't make sense. What exactly
are you "doing"?

It used to be "Lex Does Games", which was ripped off from a gaming YouTuber
that unfortunately turned out to be a wife beater later on. In 2015 it got compressed to
"LexDoesGames", and in 2021 the name got compressed further into "lexdoes".

How old are you?

As of typing this, 17.

What are your views on things?

I am autistic, have ADHD, and I am also bisexual. I don't support anything that wants me
dead and/or in an asylum. I also pray for a ceasefire in Palestine now. If you are not fine
with either of these then this website is not for you.

As for whether I'm a Marxist, liberal, socialist, or whatever, I genuinely have no idea.
I guess I'll find out when I have to pay my own taxes.

Tell me more about your life.

I live on the upper left hand part of the United States, with my father, a programmer,
my mother, an artist, and Lulu, the tiniest Shih Tzu you could possibly fathom. I have
a sibling but they moved out a long while back.

No, not your real life, that's too boring. What's
your online life like?

My parents first made the mistake of sitting me down in front of a computer in
2009, before I was even two. And, for some ungodly reason, I got my first computer
when I was just FIVE. I love my parents, but they could have used that money for
something less mind numbing like... food?

My first experience uploading content to the Internet was in 2013, when I
uploaded two videos to my YouTube channel and proceeded to not do anything
else with it for the next four years. The next year, I somehow convinced my
parents to give me a Twitter account, which I promptly doxxed myself on.

In 2015, I created a Scratch account. Here, I simultaneously learned
programming and got to talk with other kids, which is pretty neat.

2020 came, and since I turned 13, I got myself both a Twitter and a Discor--

STOP. Nobody asked for an essay. What's your
online life like now?!

Sorry. It's been doing alright... I mean, Twitter's been pretty much gutted by
Elon, and my main Discord friend group has been drama-heavy lately, but
otherwise it's alright.

Why did you make this site?

I'm a ramble-prone person if you couldn't tell already, and while long Foone-esque
Twitter/Bluesky threads can be fun, a blog is far better way to let me ramble.

Why does this site look like it came from the
early 2000s?

I like the old 2002-2004-ish aesthetic. Also, it's easier to make than having to deal
with a bunch of CSS or paying for SquareWeexbly or whatever it's called.

What happened to the old site?

It didn't go anywhere. And before you ask, no, the unfinished Kirby slashfic didn't go
anywhere either, for better or for worse.

What are you interested in?

Old technology, especially old video game consoles. I also like collecting and listening
 to vinyl records, although not as much as I used to. I still do, just so that if someone
over the age of 30 asks me about my hobbies, I don't look sound like a dork by
 saying "Video games!"

Quick, your favorite things, go!

My favorite video games are Tony Hawk's Underground,  Kirby's Return to Dream
Deluxe, Track and Field, Balloon Fight, and Crazy Taxi.

My favorite artists change on a regular basis, but right now they include The Offspring,
RHCP, Jakob's Castle, Jack White, and Tame Impala.

My favorite TV shows include Phineas and Ferb, Infinity Train, and the earlier seasons
of SpongeBob. Young Sheldon is also pretty good when there isn't a Twitter user in
your ear telling you it's awful.

How can I reach you?

For now, try tweeting at me. You can click the Twitter button at the bottom of every
page. I'll figure out how to make a contact form eventually.

Are you looking for work?

A source of income would be nice, but unless I explicitly say so, please do not solicit
or send me job offers.
