I don't understand
Imagine you're walking along and someone near you says what the dude in panel one says, then disappears. Pretty sure you'd have doubts about your own reality.
Plus, finally a chance to exit the crapsack timeline we're living in? Pretty tempting.
What do you think why he spends his time here? His reality is worse!
Same reason for all disaster tourism.
Not necessarily. I play a lot of video games that suck worse than this reality. Dead Cells is still pretty fun, but I sure don't want to live there.
Ok, you got a point.
Imagine people wanting to come to our reality for fun. Our reality is like GTA but without cheat codes
Who knows, maybe the NPC's are just that good at conversation and they suck ass everywhere else.
But maybe, MAYBE, there's other simulations better than this one.
Don’t exit, sorry to be unfunny. Escape reality instead via book, games, and what not.
Right? People saying "lmao they know they're NPC's" but all I see is people desperate to escape this shitty life.
Right, but why would everyone want to logout? If you don't remember how you login you're probably a npc. I'm not sure it's a good idea to signal the computer that you want to "exit".
It’s a joke about existentialism. They don’t know if they’re NPCs, or just users who somehow forgot. And if they’re NPCs, they don’t want to be.
If I'm an NPC.... COMPUTER - LOG OUT! LOG OUT!! 😨
I mean, there are easier ways if you just want to logout to a void
Easier than uttering a phrase?
Believe me, they're not easier, and they don't fail cleanly.
exit(1);NPCs perspective when you exit a video game.
Shoutout to Epic NPC Man
EEEEEPIIIIIC NPC MAAAAAAANNNN
Morning great day for fishin ain't it huhuh
The people in panel 2,3,4 fear they might not be real and just NPCs.
I feel like having the capacity to question your own nature of existence sort of proves the existence to begin with. So if the fear is genuine, they too are genuine. Whether they are in a simulation is still debatable
I think, therefore I am.
I think I think, therefore I think I am...
I think I think therefore I am therefore I think therefore I am… I think?
Maybe its not about a game at all and dude has just acquired the ability to suspend his consciousness and the other people want to also be able to just stop existing for a while...
But how do you unsuspend when your entire conscious is not doing anything?
Just wiggle your mouse or hit your space bar of course.
An external timer maybe? Like an alarm clock for your existence...
So basically sleep
People who believe in God believe themselves to be NPCs.
Correct.
Source: I bought the DLC to gain the actual knowledge of reality a few years ago, and it's the biggest mindfuck a DLC has ever been. Well worth it. If there was a dev I would have said it was their masterpiece.
He got to escape this wretched reality.
We live in a simulation
