My name is one syllable, so hearing “noobmaster” or whatever to address me instead of my actual name is cringe. I prefer people just call me by my first name
This is gonna sound weird but when I game I don’t want to think about myself the in the corporeal sense.
Friends calling me by my name doesn’t bother me but I never tell online people my name and it feels weird if they find out and start using it.
Some friends do use my tag when they could use my name and it doesn’t bother me since we’re gaming, I guess it would be weird in a social context outside of the game
I play with a guy online games for over 10 years. I never met him, he lives on the other side of the planet. He knows my real name, my online name changes constantly. He still always calls me by the name i had when he met me. It’s pretty funny.
The secret trick was to play on a CRT. Wii could only do 480 output anyway, and there was the added benefit of CRTs having relatively thick glass so the Wiimote plastic would shatter first before the TV screen broke.
The people that broke TVs were either using LCDs or Plasmas.
Jokes on you, I always used the safety strap on the Wiiz even if I was just in the menu. My neurodivergent ass brain wouldn’t let me hold the controllers without having the strap on
I’ll have you know that I always use the Wii safety strap! Some call me weird for still walking around with that strap so many years after I sold my Wii, but I haven’t broken a single TV since then…
Didn’t play Alan Wake 1 and 2 but I viewed the AW1 “let’s play” of @welonz and the AW2 “let’s play” of @coxclips. Just wanna share my thoughts re AW2. There are spoilers below.
So much reading. Yes, you can skip a lot of those. Yes, the title is Alan Wake 2 and Wake is a writer. But a gamer who very much dislikes reading may be turned off or think “I may be missing much by skipping most of the reading, so I’ll drop AW2.”
It seems Alice is alive. So she’s been living sans Alan for 13 years minimum. Extremely :(. I wanted a :) end for them. I can imagine an AW2 where the year is 2013 instead of 2023, and Alan was able to escape the “dark place” in 2013 and live with Alice happily. The writer (I dislike Sam Lake’s writing so I’m not saying Sam Lake) can figure out the plot gymnastics in between to make the game so interesting.
Scratch slew Jaakko Koskela so easyyy. So powerful. He could just slay Anderson, Casey, Cult of the tree and the Fbc at the start.
The Fbc’s light arrays placed far from each other outside the sheriff’s station were plot convenience.
Anderson aided Wake with writing the end despite Wake inserting Logan and David in the tale. 😑
Sarah and Barry were sidelined. :(
Sam Lake most likely disliked a fairy-tale :) end for AW2 but don’t say “In horror, the hero must pay a price to save his pals.” (or something like that) like it’s a rule.
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 😅
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
