Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

"Get out of here, Stalker! Release the Epstein Files!"

I am an NPC in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Shadow of Chornobyl (2026 Remaster -- (All we did in the remaster was fix the bugs, it is the same game you know and love except for this one NPC now reminds you of the Epstein class criminals!))

Interacting with you unlocks Epstein island at the wish granter, which teleports you into a prison cell with a broken camera and a security guard with a gun

Did you know? You can change your gender at any time by going to the OPTIONS MENU. Normally it's a lot of work!

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago

Oh now you have me worrying whether game devs are going to start disabling gender switching after character creation.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I wanna be like that very annoying NPC in the Pokemon Bizzare fangame that just rambles on forever about such a meaningless story. But with my own nonsensical story that has negative a million plot relevance.

Otherwise, if we're talking like a single sentence of dialogue:

Hokus pocus, joker's ride, come take a spin on a carnie ride

Bonus points if it's in a medieval set game and deeply confuses the player character.

You keep treating this like some kind of game... do you know something the rest of us don’t?

"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this."

But I give a random, weird, (seemingly?) useless item each game.

The full text of the AGPL with no line breaks.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

I like to imagine myself standing by the main road, away from any important game stuff, but somewhere the player must pass through to get to the game stuff. And I'm just screaming at the top of my lungs. No reason, and it's never even addressed; it's just something the game implemented to annoy the player character.

[–] remon@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There was some NPC Golem in WoW which would say "I do not enjoy conversation." when you talked to it.

That one!

"I've got plenty of things to say!"

They did it, and got away with it too. Don't ask me how I know. I've said too much already.

Hello! (Deep in my eyes you could read that I had something very exciting to tell you at some point, but it was part of something that got cut due to cost reduction.)

Make your politicians stay up at night thinking about you.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
