Someone try this
The first time I ever played Earthbound, I didn't know the kids had canonical names, and for reasons which to this day I cannot fully account for, I named the main kid "Steve". I don't even remember what I named any of the others, but Steve has stuck with me, to the point that going on thirty years later it's still my primary mental association for the character. "Ness"? Who the hell is Ness? That's Steve.
My sisters and I did this when we played Final Fantasy X. We named the main character Pretty. Referred to him exclusively as Pretty. (Mind you, we were tweens/teens at the time. We just thought it would be funny.)
This had unintended consequences, because, well… Our parents could tell we really liked the game, so they wanted to get us a present from the new Japanese import store in the area. Off Dad went—knowing nothing about the game beyond what he’d overheard from us.
He came back in a huff. Turns out he asked the poor workers there for a figure of Pretty. “Who?” Pretty, the Pretty boy in the new video game! “…Who??” He couldn’t believe they didn’t know anything about this important character from a big new game.
I think he threw his hat on the floor when he learned that his actual name was Tidus. “Then why have you been calling him Pretty?!” “Because he’s pretty!”
yknow what would be a fucked up phone feature
No, I don't. Please, proceed.
if whenever you plugged it in you had to manually enable charging mode and there was no built in way to automate it
That would be fucked up.
yknow what would be more fucked up
Football field full of viruses.
Abraham Lincoln teeth sculpture.
Really big vampire.
Inside-out Sweden.
if they added automatic charging mode but paywalled it
Yeah that's pretty fucked up.
Sorry to everyone who’s enjoyed the last 130 years of science and culture journalism, but Disney needs the money to fund Toy Story 9

my brain just spat out what is simultaneously the best and worst potential end credit scene for fnaf
a bunch of cops are surveying the inside of the wreckage of freddy's. there's dead bodies. they're taking pictures. chatting amongst themselves. whatever. one guy in a detective style trenchcoat is standing off to the side. his back is to the camera. one of the cops breaks away and approaches the detective guy.
"so, what do you think happened here?"
"i'm not sure."
the entire audience freezes in horror as they realize. they know that voice. the camera pans around to face the guy, and slowly. matpat removes the sunglasses he's wearing indoors.
"but i have a theory."
smash cut to black. the theater collapses, killing me, in the audience, instantly--
(the voice theft in particular is really depressing)
how can you tell

Two: A bearded person sits outside and says ironically, "I challenged a nine year old kid to a basketball game and won." Three: A person wearing a yellow bandanna as a sweatband says dramatically, "I challenged a nine year old kid to a bench press competition, and won." Four: A (presumably) nine year old kid walks across a lawn, shaking their head slightly and sounding out of breath as they say, "I had the worst day of my life." End description.]
