This is amusing to me because I’m super old school and was using local dialup BBSes in high school. We all used each others’ BBS handles when we got together for local meetups. I’m still friends with some of them and they still call me by that name even though I haven’t used it since the 90s. I’ve been called by my handle(s) for literal decades.
I went to a really lovely meetup recently of people I’ve been talking to on a small forum for years who I never met before. One of the hosts had the same first name as me. People just called me Squid. I was fine with it.
I use a different name for every game / platform / whatever I’m on so I don’t get too attached to any particular one. I used to do the single online persona thing, even cross-linked them all back to my personal homepage lol. But the modern web is so commercial, that’s not fun anymore.
While my names evolved over time I tend to use the same ones online at the same time, except on that one character on that one game which became my main game and now the entire guild knows me by a different name than what I’m used to, felt a bit weird haha
The downside was that the interviews were sometimes a bit awkward and you were supposed to use non verbal cues to get clues about someone lying or not. It was a tad too ambitious I guess, as even in real life you can’t really guess.
I can get the faces were awkward. My only complaint really though is the car chases. Because I’ll try to drive through something that I usually can in other games like a Chain Link fence only to be stopped dead in my tracks. Can be really frustrating when trying to catch someone
Well I never tried driving through a chain link as it would just destroy your car in real life and you might get really injured if the chain is solid enough 😅
