Good article: Minnesota’s Angry NPC Liberals
“…The application of the NPC meme to the unthinking liberal herd is perfection, sublime, possibly a miracle sent by God to keep our spirits up as we take back our country in the teeth of increasing violence from the Left…”
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a videogame set in the old West. It is a sequel to a huge hit, and will be one of the highest grossing games of all time.
But, oh..it has problems, says the NPC reviewer.
A quote:
The game’s interactions are constrained largely due to its inspirations. Westerns are a complex and problematic genre tied to a violent history that gave rise to the myth of the gun as an egalitarian tool (e.g., the oft-quoted “God made man, Sam Colt made them equal”) and rugged, self-reliant masculinity. As a result, interactions with Red Dead Redemption 2’s NPCs exist within that masculine framework. Arthur and the player’s actions are expressions of a mythic masculinity. We rescue women and lesser men—after all, better men would be able to fight off bandits and manage their horses— and compete against would-be gunslingers while using unique abilities like Dead-Eye to our advantage. We tip our hat like a proper gentleman, and we kill anyone we want. The game rewards those masculine impulses without fail. I rarely am able to help for my own sake in Red Dead Redemption 2. The Western framework leads to only certain kinds of interactions, and those interactions inevitably lead to rewards: outshoot someone in a marksmanship contest and you’ll gain some cash; rescue a man from wolves and he’ll give you a treasure map.
These rewards further stress that, in spite of Red Dead Redemption 2’s meticulous details and animations—created through excess, condemnable hours and strenuous labor—the NPCs just exist for the player’s benefit.
End quote.
Note that this person just critiqued the meticulous details were created through "excess. condemnable hours". God forbid she ever has to meet a deadline!
And then she actually says that the NPCs just exist for the player's benefit.
Ummm...EXACTLY! It's a videogame, you clueless bint! Do you think the NPCs, which are actually just scripted lines of code, deserve their own lives?
Wait, I think she actually does...

How Late Night "Comics" See Themselves Vs. How Every Normal Person Sees Them
Here they are, posing for Vanity Fair, trying to pretend they're all in Sinatra's Rat-Pack. Just a gang of Immortal Comedy Assassins, destroying the world with their ninja humor skills.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
