Npc

An NPC, in internet slang, refers to a non-player character. NPCs are characters in video games that are controlled by the game’s computer rather than by real players. They often serve as supporting or background characters that interact with the player’s character during the game.

Examples:

1. In an online multiplayer game:
A: “Hey, are you ready for the raid tonight?”
B: “Yeah, I’ve been practicing my strategy. We just need to find a few more players to join us, or we’ll have to rely on NPCs to fill the gaps.”

2. In a discussion about social media:
X: “It seems like everyone on my timeline is sharing the same type of posts these days.”
Y: “Yeah, most of them are just NPCs, mindlessly following trends without adding any original content.”
