Ask Lemmy

"It's just a flesh wound."

"Do you make it to the cloud district very often? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you don't."

Mornin'. Nice day for fishing, ain't it? Hua ha.

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

"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.

"I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX."

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

The only war is class war.

I used to be an adventurer like you, but I took an arrow to my knee...

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

I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!

"I just want to go hug my cat right now"

"On your left."

rides by on a bicycle

"I don't know you, and I don't care to know you."

"I'm too tired for this."

"My potions are TOO strong for you, traveller!"

Welcome to , I love you

Interloper.

"Wake up. None of this is real."

Or

(Covered in claw marks and cat fur, clutching a warning poster about a wild catlike beast) "if... If not friend... Why friend shaped??"

"You know where your towel is?"

“The treasure was insane. I saw it myself. You just have to brave the mumble and it’s all yours.”

I AM ERROR.

"Leave me alone!"

Hello! (But 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.)

"Did you know that according to our definition of rocks, ice counts? I've just been thinki- oh, you did? Well, next time you meet me, I'll have come up with a new, incredible fact! Like: "

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

They digitised my mind and stuck me in here. Get help, please.

"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!))

"I open up my wallet, and it's full of blood."

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.

To make sure my creator got sued for copyright infringement ... "Shake it, baby" or "Damn, I look good" or "I'm too old for this shit"

Remember the crazy hermit in Ravenholm in HL2 who won't help you until you complete some tasks? He speaks at you over a loudspeaker and then through a slit in a door IIRC. It's a beautifully designed level.

Anyway, I'd like to tip my hat to that crochety character by being an NPC who recites the Gettysburg Address during an epic onslaught.

"Wash day tomorrow. Nothing clean, right?"

"Come on Frank"

Frank is my dog and we're going somewhere

“Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pie!”

"This is my one line of dialogue."

"Want some rye? 'Course ya do."

I used to be a virgin like you, but then I took a vagina to the penis.

Sometimes i doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

...

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

That one!

I don't quite know exactly, but I'd love to be the NPCs that eludes to an Easter egg that isn't actually in the game.

Alternatively, dressed slutty in a random bar:

"You need to get your combat multiplier HIGHER before I swing ajar."

"I know I put it here somewhere."

Ah, interesting, that's... What? Wait, I'm doing five things at once. I just, ah, kind of zoned out for a minute... Hang on.

And I just restart whatever animation loop I'm in.

"I mean sure, why not?"
