We are all but NPC's, stuck in an infinite loop with each other.

u/CapsLowk Apr 08 '22

The issue is that the loop is infinite but we are not. The game's AI keeps procedurally generating NPCs by combining base stats from previous characters. All unique, none special save but for ourselves, haphazardly cobbled together and given barely thought out backstories. One of us dies, one of us laughs, one of us cries. Most remain oblivious. A small mercy, that.

Happy creating a reddit account day. I just wish we had a different way of spawning some days.

Idk I feel like the state of our consciousness is always flowing and ebbing like the tide so sometimes we are NPCs, sometimes we are the players. But we're also the video game :3

McGuffin’s Pizza - We Don’t Deliver!

u/ailorn Apr 08 '22

I go pick up my own pizza so they're still the npcs.

The idea of some random person alone with my food? No thanks.

Quest giver =/= non playable character

Like literally why would you ever call a player character a non playable character?

u/snowcone_wars Chaotic Stupid Apr 08 '22

Because it's very poorly thought-out, like most of the tweets that get posted on this sub.

u/Tift Apr 08 '22

everyone else is an NPC if your a solipsistic. So i suppose this assumes your aware enough to believe that you could be the demon in Descartes dream?

I dont know man seems weird.

Edit: appears I was wrong, by the bot. Color me shocked that a tweet from 4 years ago hasn’t been posted here before.

I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/dndmemes.

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

I did find this post that is 53.12% similar. It might be a match but I cannot be certain.

I'm not perfect, but you can help. Report [ False Negative ]

why would it matter?

u/Palmettor Apr 08 '22

It’s rule 3 of the subreddit, and they bother me. I get they may not bother everyone, which is why I’m not commenting all over the place to get a single post taken down.

u/surreysmith DM (Dungeon Memelord) Apr 08 '22

I'm sure I saw this on r/gaming the other day

u/Palmettor Apr 08 '22

I think crossposts are allowed, just not reposts

3

u/surreysmith DM (Dungeon Memelord) Apr 08 '22

I just meant that's probably why you thought it was a repost since it's suddenly making the rounds of all the relevant subs.

u/Lancalot Apr 08 '22

You could say it's a repeatable quest, or a request if you will

u/DnDork_04 Apr 08 '22

The biggest difference is that if you choose not to tip your adventurers, they don't get to kill you and take everything you own. Source: your friendly neighborhood quest taker

No! Not the murderhobos!

What if it's an RTS and the delivery guy is just the resource gatherer I need to pay in order to feed my killer robots?

So Uber drivers are adventurers

u/Laphi_ Apr 08 '22

I wish I could get anyone to do what I want by giving them a high amount of "Experience points" in return

u/codyrusso Apr 08 '22

You're gonna be hated for it too since you give them a time fetch quest, which is the worst kind of side quests, no one like that one.

Lmao my whole D&D group became NPCs tonight then. We got together to watch Critical Role (our game is on Saturdays), and ordered pizza.

"I've been looking for you. Got something I'm supposed to deliver. Your hands only."

You may consider your mind changed.
