Indeed.

I don't think anyone replicates the entirety of their IRL personality online, always just various aspects. On a setting like NSG one is, essentially, a personality attached to a name (rather than a personality attached to a name and a face) so if you change the name you can allow other aspects of one's personality to dominate. This is particularly the case if one feels, in some way, constrained or confined by the nature of their "main" identity.

And, to be clear, I am not talking about rule bending, let alone breaking, behaviour.

If my truck wasn't governed at 67, I'd be able to cover more distance. As it is, I've managed slightly over 700 miles in a day a couple of times.

Not a lot of breaks, to cover that mu h territory. The actual drive time was just under 9 hours, but food and bathroom breaks take time.

Well, I'm mandated by law to take a half hour break every 8 hours... Other than that, I don't stop. The times I listed were actual drive time. Total elapsed time could be up to 14 hours, depending on whether I have pickups and/or deliveries that I have to do as well.
