I assume they're talking about player names, not usernames - steam usernames are unique, but steam player names can be whatever you want and are often duplicates.
I love Saints Row IV. Such a silly game; great way to just fuck around and blow off some steam.
Cool to see the Immich team going full time. I don't use it personally but I hear great things
Why is this oniony? "Professional drivers are in the transportation industry" sounds absurd?
Note that OP made a distinction between "need" and "ought to" and I agree. You don't "need" to know any of these, but you "ought to" because knowing them TO SOME DEGREE helps you use the machine more effectively and safely. Networking course is definitely going overboard, but I still think they're important to know. I'm pretty sure doctors already do understand the basics of how MRI machines work.

Learning about HTTPS and SSL lets you understand what it keeps secure and how that can keep you secure when you're e.g. banking.

What's stopping you from deleting the game, redownloading it, and setting a new account name? Etc
