He's streaming Stardew right now, but I might be too slap happy to ask.

I don't think a mod is eligible for NPCing. But also NPCs are long dead for noob games.

I didn't think Cubs or KayDubs was modding this game.

Also, I think the real issue in the past with NPCs is that we didn't explain who or what they are very well. Just as noobs can understand what the role is of a mod in posting in a game, and that they are not "participating" in the sense that a regular player is, I think if instead of trying to trick/confuse them, if we explained the NPC, it would be fine. Does that defeat the point and make it unfun? I don't know.

Yes, kdubs is modding. Perhaps it's been discussed more off-site than in this thread though.

NPCs were always explained but that didn't stop the confusion. (I think once an NPC was even "almost" yeeted.) Their only purpose was to explain how the game worked however. There was a delicate balance between overly influencing the game and making the game needlessly more perplexing though.

I feel padawans handle that balance much better because they can actually explain the game hands-on instead of vague hypotheticals + everything that happens affects them (being an actual player) so less might be "taught" for the lulz + less likely to ghost.

We also rarely have NPCs in games nowadays anyway so it's not as preparatory as it used to be.

What was the last game we had NPC?

And do NPCs count towards games played?

What was the last game we had NPC?

And do NPCs count towards games played?

Not sure if it was LIS?

And I want to say being an NPC shouldn't count towards game totals, but obviously mods can create their own rules.

I can feel through my screen that it interests you because it's like being involved in the game without having to actually play it. But I don't want you to be indulged this way Lawpy.

Just play if you want. We like it when you do.

What was the last game we had NPC?

And do NPCs count towards games played?

Paws was an NPC in Howwrses but y’all know by now that my memory of other games is nonexistent

 

[kaydubs]

Not sure if it was LIS?

For newb games: STL was a NPC in Winter Wonderland, 2019? 2018?
LIS was in the circus themed one that Trilt ran (I think I was in the background…), that was before the wonderland game.

MJ was coined an NPC in BioShock if my memory isn’t failing me.

 

[supershorty]

What was the last game we had NPC?

Lawpy pls, are you for real right now?

 

[supershorty]

Guys, Lawpy was an NPC in LaWWpy, do we not recall this?

[Zenge142]

@tunky you should come play WW!

 

[nseig]

@nseig How did your test and interview go?

Interview was just weird. I know I preformed decently but I don't know. The test went extremely well! Ended Physiology with what should be an A+ from UC Berkeley. Hopefully that will be my last college course (graduated last winter). Thank you for asking! Today I'll be in the car for 5+ hours so I'll be able to catch up with whats been going on here.

@Lawpy, @bluestoat is my lab tech, so you can ask her all about what a nightmare working for me is if you're so inclined

Oh god, she liked this, she must agree it’s a nightmare 😱

 

[bluestoat]

No idea what you're talking about! Kreacher lives to serve. 😛

 

[Trilt]

LIS was a player, not an NPC in my noob game. 🙂 He just... didn't last long, haha.

 

[WildZoo]

Every time it ended up mass confusing the players for at least a full cycle from being able to learn how to play.

That's just because STL is a confusing person

 

[SportPonies]
