took a sleeper train to visit family, and while dozing had a dream that I was on Train Internet (a separate internet that could only be accessed while on a train). All I can remember of Train Internet is this meme, which I have dutifully reproduced here for the Regular Internet.

Now I heard there was a tiny box
Engraved with names like Minecraft Notch
And Brian Fargo and FourZeroTwo, yeah
But though it promised games for free
And mobile ports on your TV
It's a cold and it's a broken Founders' Ouya

i cannot even begin to list all the dumb shit I've made npcs say purely to entertain myself
i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".
