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!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Same reason for all disaster tourism.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] DrQuint@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

But maybe, MAYBE, there's other simulations better than this one.

[-] DrQuint@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Right? People saying "lmao they know they're NPC's" but all I see is people desperate to escape this shitty life.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

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!! 😨

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev -1 points 1 year ago

I mean, there are easier ways if you just want to logout to a void

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Easier than uttering a phrase?

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Believe me, they're not easier, and they don't fail cleanly.
