When a game asks you to name your character, do you use your name? I'm too paranoid to do so
>>
fuck catposters

>>737683815
It's ok, because I use your name.
>>
>>737683815
I use different versions of my name to fit the setting. There's a more antiquated sounding equivalent that I use in fantasy games or if my character is someone of high status. If he's just some guy, I use the modern version.
>>
I use the names of my fantasy girlfriends
>>
No. I'm an actor playing the character. The character is not literally me.

I use Adolf Hitler. If the game censors it for whatever reason I uninstall. This is what means to be a knight of Deutschland.

Nope, I use whatever funny name comes up in my mind or I use one of those.
Jill Kews for a female character or Nate Higgers for male one.

>>737683815
If I use my real name I get jealous of my character because they'll get rich, powerful and will have companions and maybe even a partner while I'm just sitting in my dark cold apartment with nothing going for me. It's not fair, man.

I used to do usernames but one game called me a liar for not inputting my real name so and it spooked me, so I do it all the time now. It's kinda liberating, actually.

I don't know whether to chase it off or just call the SPCA to see if they can send it elsewhere. I can't guarantee the people here won't find an excuse to dump it into the river in a trashbag.

The first time I played Fallout 1 when I was 11 or 12 I had an old video game magazine on my desk that was open to an ad for James Pond 2: Codename Robocod, so I named my character Robocod. Ever since then I have used Robocod for every game.
