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

2018-10-18 04:30:38 UTC  

*sip*

2018-10-18 04:30:38 UTC  

soiled it

2018-10-18 04:31:00 UTC  

@Salo Saloson Don't wag your finger at me young pup.

2018-10-18 04:31:29 UTC  

I'll be nice since I will someday ask for you on graphic design advice

2018-10-18 04:31:33 UTC  

_for now_

2018-10-18 04:31:39 UTC  

it refers to AI's in video games that are incredibly simplistic and predictable @OMGDwayne

2018-10-18 04:32:10 UTC  

ironically, the NPC meme came from a study that people thought meant 70% of the population didn't have an internal monologue

2018-10-18 04:32:32 UTC  

Non-Player Character. Like in gaming? A hapless civilian just drifting by while the Battle Tanks dig in to destroy the lovely city?

2018-10-18 04:32:51 UTC  

sounds about right

2018-10-18 04:33:06 UTC  

yeet

2018-10-18 04:33:11 UTC  

or like the one npc who only has 3 lines ever

2018-10-18 04:33:35 UTC  

patrick casey is an alleged NPC

2018-10-18 04:33:44 UTC  

reliable sources are reporting

2018-10-18 04:34:02 UTC  

I have heard him repeat certain tropes before in firesides... 🤔

2018-10-18 04:34:19 UTC  

@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

2018-10-18 04:35:52 UTC  

I only touch art because I figure us filthy right wingers need it

2018-10-18 04:36:03 UTC  

my head never shuts up

2018-10-18 04:36:08 UTC  

and because the avant garde is how I got into art

@Koba EXCUSE ME

2018-10-18 04:43:30 UTC  

@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.

2018-10-18 04:43:50 UTC  

don't need a coordinator if there's nothing to coordinate yet

2018-10-18 04:44:10 UTC  

hey tide

2018-10-18 04:44:19 UTC  

👋

2018-10-18 04:45:09 UTC  

@Nemets honestly it's like another person in your head is talking to you, but it's you, holding a conversation, with yourself. uhm

2018-10-18 04:46:06 UTC  

lol

2018-10-18 04:46:38 UTC  

@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.

2018-10-18 04:47:57 UTC  

@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

2018-10-18 04:48:14 UTC  

@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.

2018-10-18 04:51:54 UTC  

do you hear a voice when you read?

2018-10-18 04:52:27 UTC  

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.

2018-10-18 04:53:07 UTC  

Assuming @Nemets is anything other than a hyper advanced AI capable of fooling even the most thorough of Turing tests.

2018-10-18 04:53:31 UTC  

if so we should be fearful

2018-10-18 04:54:31 UTC  

both

2018-10-18 04:54:41 UTC  

@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.

2018-10-18 04:55:34 UTC  

if I feel somethings off, It doesn't need to manifest in words really.
