    Me. I don’t think I’ve ever played as a chick if there’s an option in any game.

    Specifically for 2077, I was playing as ‘me’ if timeframes were different. Also I played through the entire game as a naked (open jacket, tennis shoes) ‘me’. And you better fucking believe I was a thick uncut ‘me’. A better ‘me’. A ‘me’ with a thick heavy cock on display and carrying around an old-school minigun and sniper as my mains. Because it’s what I would have wanted.

        In hs one of my friends said he always picks girls in third person games because hed rather stare at a girls ass than mans all day, and I’ve used girl avatars more often. Just can’t in games where I want to selfinsert and be immersed since it pulls me out of it. If I can’t make my character brown I just go with a girl.

        I always play them because I think of them as hard mode. Back in the days of some of the old fighter games the female characters usually got focused on the least meaning that their combos were usually worse or harder to implement. Always fun to pick the “bad characters” and clown on your homies.

      I never see characters in games as “me”. I try to make someone hot or wacky. Often that’s a buff lady. Sometimes it’s “the biggest beard and hair I can get”.

        I’m like that but for movies and TV shows - I can’t get invested. ‘what a dumbass, following the trail of blood unarmed into the abandoned shack, what an absolute moron. Yep, now he’s dead. This movie could be 15 minutes and the killer caught already.’

        When I am the one making decisions, it’s always ‘me’. I have a role, and I apply my own judgements and planning. Instead of going through the front door on the shack, I find the crawlspace and kill the murderer by shooting through the floor, saving and meeting an easter-egg character in the process. But it’s always ‘me’, or as close as I can get to it.

      I used to play about equal m/f characters but i’ve gotten increasingly bored with male characters.

      I never play as me though, i’m always constructing a headcanon, backstory and playing very writerly.

      Over the last 10+ years or so i’ve just found boy stories more and more boring. I think the last game i seriously enjoyed as male was ME2, coincidentally with a keanu looking sniper type.

      IMO, all the dick options in Cyberpunk were on the smaller side.

      If that’s bigger and better than yours … well, that kind of says a lot, lol.

        I thought the large was alright. I’ve had bigger irl but I’m right in the center of average. And cut so I hate how it looks…
