the whole inner voice thing was considered in various ways and tim did that great vid about it, but more or less it's not quite voices in your head, it's your OWN voice in your head. It's the ability to stop and ask yourself things like, "gee, is hitting this random stranger over the head with a bike lock a good idea? y/n" before you just swing wildly and do it.
The hard facts shift from study to study, you can get different results depending on how you ask the question and what situations you present. There are very clear situations where any normal person doesn't sit there and mentally talk something out because you recognize immediate action is a need.
If you want a good example of what NPCs really are: Watch any of Campus Reform's videos where they go out and poll university students about something that suddenly leaves all of them utterly stumped. They have no idea how to respond, so they give up on the actual question and start spitting out canned lines that sound like it supports their cause, without actually addressing the question.
That's the kind of thing that if they stopped for half a second and actually THOUGHT about it, rather than just their internal programming trying to pick a line at random, they would realize "wow... that does not apply to this situation, and I need to either really THINK for MYSELF, or admit I might be wrong."
Here's a perfect example of it:

All the NPCs went to this protest to get "Assault Weapons" banned, but their programmers forgot to explain to them what an "assault weapon" is.
Yeah watching those videos made me think that the 17% number might be higher than the general population since all the subjects in the study were college students
I saw what you did there 😏
Not sure I agree with all those bingo squares. I know I only watched Black Panther just to see how bad it was, and even had a 'polite discussion' with someone here where I explained how they're a bunch of black fascists. The NPC of course, disagreed with me.
The rest are largely in line with what makes an NPC.
Hmmm
if you mean the "unhealth obsession with major cinematic-- etc"
top right corner
watching just Black Panther is not an obsession
ahhhh
you are right
no, i agree with the obsession one.
but that one I give fault to.
needs to be replaced with something like "Thinks Wakanda is a Utopian Society the rest of the world should strive to be." or somesuch nonsense.
since it's still aiming at the MCU
I'd give another reference, but those movies are such idle popcorn flicks, I scarcely remember anything of note about them. I could recap their stories and scenes, but... like... they're nothing outstanding.
I think that slot was just a bit generic, super hero movies became more of the same
ahh
I might fill the "Non-Spiritualist one"
I regret to say, including top right there, that means I hit 3 marks.
I've not created anything of artistic merit. And I actually do believe art can be pedo stuff... though that one is mostly due to unfortunate interactions with both "artists" and consumers of such content.
waaa
loli hentai isn't pedo

i thought her face couldn't get more obnoxious
I'd say it's pretty true to life
aw shit, I'll get in the robot. And I won't be a whiny bitch about it either.
First thing I see out of this discord is an Eva meme.
let's murder us some space aliens that think they're angels or ... whatever the fuck it's supposed to be
I wanna be in the robot
Lemme get a robot
