How can I get better at remembering names in video games?

Corroded@leminal.space to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 17 points –

I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 and keep forgetting names. The database section helps but it can be tedious going back and forth when I'm reading emails and notes to see what is relevant. This isn't just limited to Cyberpunk though. I feel like I run into this a lot with games. Any tips for getting names to stick?

Bro I'm bad at names IRL. The best tip ive heard is, as soon as you learn it, repeat it till it sticks while picturing the person in your head. Not sure if that applies to games

You only need to repeat it once, but do it out loud in a really deep, raspy voice. Like if you meet a woman named Natalie, just say back to her in the deepest demon voice you can: "~NATALIE~"
