Aleks

Aleks Dalgaard is the primary co-host of Let Me Tell You About alongside his best friend (reluctantly) Tad Becker, whom he met in gym class in high school. He stepped down from his position as co-host on July 11th, 2021, to focus his energy on pursuing his art career. Many on the LMTYA discord server were sad to see him go but wished him the best on his next creative journey. He is a fan of Japanese Popstar Sensation, Hatsune Miku. He is a very easily excitable nerd who enjoys anime and video games, possibly more so than his own family. He occasionally will state that he only has an interest in anime-related gaming, thus making him "not a weeb" despite being heavily invested in various Japanese cartoon characters. 
As of late, he has returned to the podcast. This is hotly debated to be either the "real" Aleks or an elaborate AI. Aleks/"Aleks" has appeared in Noyz Boyz episode 32 "New Boyz In Time" and episode 33 "Life, Death and Super Mario", and the Bonus "It's surprisingly easy to mod your 3ds". It is unclear how long this will last. 
He doesn't have that many accounts for social media and admits having two Twitter accounts in the past. One of those accounts being hosted by Aleks when he was very young and considered "Cringe". He does have a current account, but it's mostly shitposting. Typically it showcases him working on his art. More accurately, it's screenshots from whatever game he's playing at the time; he might eventually post art if he ever decides to not be a bum. 
His twitter is not going to be made public, as to leave at least a degree of separation from LMTYA. And because fuck you, eat my shorts. 
== Family ==
Aleks grew up with three siblings and developed a rough relationship with his parents. Aleks frequently discusses his father not being a good parental role model and how it has affected him as an adult. Aleks also frequently discusses his older step brother and the "brains and brawns" relationship the two had. Besides what's stated on the podcast, there isn't a whole lot deeper in his familial relationships.
There is his aunt, who reportedly sleeps in strange places in her place of living. She also shares names with a particular "ranch".
== StarFox ==
Around Alek's younger years, Aleks had a SNES which he used to play StarFox, A game that was about cute anthropomorphic animals that fly in advanced spacecraft known as "ArWings" to save the Lylat System. Over the years, Aleks has become increasingly attached to the game, stating that it is one of his favorite video game series and has been very passionate about his love for the franchise. Aleks mentioned in the StarFox episode of the podcast that he thinks "StarFox Command had killed StarFox for ten years until StarFox Zero came along and killed it for 20 years."
In his early teenage years, Aleks spent time writing on and talking to other people on StarFox Online, an online forum website about the game and its many fans that he had come to know and hate, such as a man who goes by the name "Kursed," a StarFox fanatic and adorer of the character Krystal. Kursed would frequently harass Aleks about his opinions on a fan game he was helping develop and how he wanted to change things about it, specifically wanting to change various things about Krystal and the overall graphics quality of the game.
It could be said that this is what made him into a closet furry.
== Senran Kagura ==
Aleks is a fan of Senran Kagura, a fanservice-filled arena action game where the player controls a sexy ninja girl, AKA a Senran, and battle large groups of other Senrans in a Dynasty Warriors fashion. Aleks' favorite character is Hikage, a green-haired, large-breasted Senran who wears tattered jeans and a small blouse as her combat dress and uses knives as her weapon of choice. Aleks has stated that he loves Hikage so much that he has a shrine of her found in his room that consists of various collectible figurines and statues, limited edition cards, and even a bootleg Dakimakura (Body Pillow) of her. It is still unknown why Aleks adores Senran Kagura so much (though it's probably because of Hikage), but he states that he is "saving that information for maybe a Senran Kagura episode".
== Guilty Gear and other fighters ==
Aleks is similarly a fan of the Guilty Gear series, among having a general interest in Street Fighter. While it's not super explicit just how far in he is within fighters, it is reported that Aleks is most drawn to Ramlethal Valentine, a boss character Guilty Gear -Sign-, of whom extended later on into the series as a playable character later down the line. And in Guilty Gear -Strive-, he had attained the highest rank of "Celestial" with her and having bought a pillow cover of her in a promiscuous pose, as seen in the imgur link provided in "Let Me Tell You About...EVO 2017". To current day, Aleks has strayed from -Strive- in feeling that it's just not very good. He is correct. Blame Bridget's retcon. 
He also knows a fair amount of the Street Fighter series, having talked extensively about it in some points of the podcast and was even excited when Abigail was announced*. Though it also seems his relationship with the classic arcade series is tenuous, as in Noyz Boyz 18: The Decade of Memes he goes on about feet and its relation to Street Fighter's Makoto roughly 20 minutes in and talks about feet for 10 minutes. Most of this is spawned because of Street Fighter featuring characters who often have bare feet. Feet Fighter, if you will.
Aleks seems to have a fair amount of interest in SNK's King of Fighters series, but he doesn't really talk about it much on the podcast. It has been noted in the LMTYA Discord server that he is fairly competent with Maxima, and has been shown to have completed a couple of the King of Fighters 13 combo trials via Discord streaming. Quite frankly, it's very scary and very terrifying. Fear. As it stands, KOF is a bit more on the minor side in terms of interest. 
== 3DS Modding saga ==
He has been noted to have found 3DS modding to be surprisingly easy. This has also extended into him having almost literally game available to the 3DS.
== Fire Emblem ==
In his absence and into his return to the podcast, Aleks has taken to the Fire Emblem series of games, starting on the likes of Fire Emblem Awakening, the "revival" of the series. As of late, he's gotten through most of the "modern" series of Awakening, Fates, Echoes Shadows of Valentia, Three Houses, and Engage. Sometimes he streams Three Houses in the server, and has generally mixed reviews of the series, of which usually range between neutral to "dogshit" depending on the game. The poor bastard. One may only hope he doesn't fall victim to the horrible gacha game.
