Well for me, that falls apart really fast, as even tho humans can be sheep (only doing what they have been told).
They still understand things, and reason out what it is they are agreeing to all the while (even if it is a faulty view).

I mean, if i can understand Why a person believes what they believe, i have a better chance of adjusting their views or even changing it. Does this analogy make me a hacker then? Breaking programming code heh.

It's just a joke m8

Like you're overthinking this. The joke is that there's a subset of people who just revert back to the same 5 lines when challenged and they don't think critically

Like an NPC

Its also a insult, which fair enough people can say whatever they want. But i prefer the things i say to make sense :)

I'm just not a fan of it as when i think of a NPC, what comes to mind is all the characters i enjoy in video games.
So i find that a bit failing as a joke or insult, but oh well i guess some people enjoy it.

To be fair, even if the player character is controlled by someone who thinks critically, you can only execute the commands the game was programmed with. You only have choices of A, B, and C, and can't go off-script either

*unless you're playing Morrowind :)

Or unless you're playing a tabletop module

The DM is generally not going to have the Blacksmith say a whole lot more than the most basic shit as per the script, and once an NPC is elevated to proper character status they basically cease to be an NPC

If the GM is following that template, sure. Though that's an argumentum ad populum if we're saying the gamemaster has to do that because it's common to do. What makes an NPC on tabletop can only be defined by the GM, which can, as you've demonstrated, change at any given time (and for no reason at all). It should be noted they aren't limited to actual people in tabletop, either, but can be environmental set pieces

In summation, NPCs are ass-pulls, their actions inventions based on the need of the scenario, or whims of the gamemaster

We are all NPCs.

most likely

Lol. There’s an aquaman movie coming out.

Aquaman is a meme for how useless his powers are. This may flop hard.

Flop, kinda like a fish out of water?

I'll leave....

i'm a big fan of Marvel, but a slightly bigger fan of DC and in the animated series (and in a lot of the comics), aquaman is great. But there is a good chance the movie will fail because DC isn't doing a great job outside of a few movies with there characters.

I think Aquaman, and the rest of the the DC heroes needed a standalone movie before Justice league

But regardless, after I saw the Titans trailer, the DC movie franchise is dead to me

that was such trash, i can't believe they are still going to show it.

tho, i think that is for TV, not a movie.

oh...except the Christopher Nolan Batman series

@RoadtoDawn lol. We are on the same brain wave.

I wasn't trilled with wonder women (even tho it was an ok movie), i don't see wonder women when i looked at Gal Gadot, she is to small....

And exotic

But hey, if you gotta be tied up by someone, you could do a lot worse 😍

^ fair assessment

It begins...... anyone watching?

What begins :V

The Sunday show.

Ooooo

Yeah

Hi. Just wondering - i've been a $10 patreon member for a while now, but have yet to use anything on Discord

how is my discord user linked to patreon?

ping Matt about it, or send an email

ah. so it's all manually done

Yes.

Just curious, cause I see a lot of ethnostate fanboys in the streams (I’ve only watched three, to be fair)... how much of Matt’s and/or Blonde’s fans/followers are just being edgy or actually want to “gas all the kikes and brownies” sorta people?
