curiosityLynx ( @curiosityLynx@beehaw.org ) 5•10 months agoAnd the shape and colour of the exclamation point depends on which animal it is? As in a kitten causes it to be pink and the dot to be heart shaped while a bed bug changes it to a horror font?

Narrrz ( @Narrrz@kbin.social ) 20•10 months agoI’m perfectly happy with my four dialogue choices without any fancy persuasion checks.
Ananääs ( @Jojowski@sopuli.xyz ) 15•10 months agoI like the idea of NPC energy, especially when working in customer service - sometimes I feel like a vendor in a camp talking with customers and dropping random rumors or tips to them
AltheaHunter ( @AltheaHunter@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English13•10 months agoInsanity. I’m not putting in the effort required to live just to be an NPC.
BluesF ( @BluesF@feddit.uk ) 15•10 months agoFortunately there is no protagonist. Everyone is the centre of their own story and a participant in everyone else’s.
ParkingPsychology ( @ParkingPsychology@kbin.social ) 7•10 months agoIt’s just an oversimplified position. I think you can want very little (quantity wise, as number of desires), but exercise massive amounts of will to achieve it. And then you can live with more or less ego, or more or less empathy and care.
I’m sure there’s dozens of other ways to do it. You just can’t get there with “NPC” and “not NPC”.
Some people are much more the protagonist in their story than other people. And then there’s the degree to which the story actually overlaps with reality. You can make it all up and not follow up on it, or you can make it come true, and everything in between, human reality does allow for that.
