92: r/NPC, u/dogboobes doesn't even have a hair tie, and Internet gentrification - a podcast by Did You Reddit?

Well, we're officially back in the garage recording pods at 7:00am. Oh, you thought that would mean crystal clear audio quality and an unwavering professionalism? Well clearly you still don't know who you're listening to - what we lack in professionalism, we constantly make up for in our on brand inpredictability. Since we last recorded in the garage, u/itsyerdad got a new computer, incompatible with our previous setup, so we had to proverbially duct tape and bird feather this episode together. Lucky for you though, our in-person chemistry makes it all worth it, as we dig into the weird world of NPCs, or Non-Playable Characters, the right wing's latest insult for people who casually participate in Trump-bashing. It's an odd evolution of terms like "Sheeple", and to a degree "Snowflakes", as it requires a certain level of gaming and Internet-lingo familiarity to understand, which may be why it's recently been subject to some strangely authoritative anti-free speech moves from the Internet gods. It's a fascinating topic that we only graze the surface of. Plus, we discuss the art of catastrophic street photography, and discover r/tardtales, possibly the last vestige of a pre-gentrified mainstream Internet. This episode brought to you by Yeller Feller Endeavor 2, out now from Rockstar Games.
