I've heard about this NPC controversy, but what does NPC stand for? From what I know about it, NPC has my complete support. But NOBODY will spill what NPC stands for.
non-player character
god. get with the zoomer-lingo
*sip*
soiled it
@Salo Saloson Don't wag your finger at me young pup.
I'll be nice since I will someday ask for you on graphic design advice
_for now_
it refers to AI's in video games that are incredibly simplistic and predictable @OMGDwayne
ironically, the NPC meme came from a study that people thought meant 70% of the population didn't have an internal monologue
Non-Player Character. Like in gaming? A hapless civilian just drifting by while the Battle Tanks dig in to destroy the lovely city?
sounds about right
yeet
or like the one npc who only has 3 lines ever
patrick casey is an alleged NPC
reliable sources are reporting
I have heard him repeat certain tropes before in firesides... 🤔
@Salo Saloson Yes, I've been in graphic design for 35 years. I worked for newspapers for most of that time. They sent me out into the howling wilderness in 2014. Imagine my relief. So I'm retired and doing freelance. Living way, way out in the country.

I usually have one going on, ruminating away
my head never shuts up
and because the avant garde is how I got into art
@Nemets I have a very, very strong internal monologue. It's one of my favorite things. It is supplemented by my almost obsessive reading. I've recently discovered Counter Currents. That is a beautiful place.
don't need a coordinator if there's nothing to coordinate yet
hey tide

@Nemets honestly it's like another person in your head is talking to you, but it's you, holding a conversation, with yourself. uhm
lol
@Salo Saloson In 1987 I took Amtrak to Philadelphia to participate in the 100th birthday celebration of that arch conman Marcel Duchamp. I enjoyed myself immensely. I had an elderly uncle living there, and I took him along one day to see the Duchamp exhibit. He looked at it thoughtfully, and asked (like you would ask a question of a moron), "Do you have any friends who share your interest in this bullshit?" I agreed with him then, and I agree with him now. But it was a LOT of fun.
@Nemets well, it's not like I'm saying, "hey how are you?" I'm just talking about things... and there's usually another part of my brain controlling the music in the background
@Nemets Everybody has an internal monologue. Some people don't see it that way, but all it is is a debate with yourself about what is right and what is wrong. No one can escape that resposibility.
do you hear a voice when you read?
And I must admit that a lot of my internal monologue is about how I would do things different. I have many, many regrets. My brother has told me he feels the same way. Sometimes we sit around talking about all the shitty things we did. It's funny, but we seriously regret many things.
Assuming @Nemets is anything other than a hyper advanced AI capable of fooling even the most thorough of Turing tests.

if so we should be fearful
both
@Deleted User When I read I hear the voices of the characters and/or the narrator. It's a little jarring when the movie version comes out and it's different.
if I feel somethings off, It doesn't need to manifest in words really.
