When the simulation is low on resources, it starts running cars with full tint so it doesn’t have to draw the npcs
It reduces the driver AI setting for those cars, too.
...wait, this singleplayer game has been an MMORPG this whole time?
Uh-oh.
I refuse to believe this and will continue farming them for XP.
"Every other car" so only half the people driving are npc then? Thats far less then i thought. Thats pretty encouraging actually.
Nar nar. You've misunderstood. It's every other car is a person with life goals. It's nothing to do with drivers.
Every two cars
Half of the cars
Even those could be interpreted two different ways 😄
Judging by some of their driving I'm not so sure every car isn't an NPC on an overloaded CPU
Not until you compare it with horror fact #2: half of the human population is dumber than the average person.
I am not a native speaker so forgive this stupid question: does "every other" here mean "every second" as in "every other day" or "everyone except me" like I'm the only guy without a life?
~~The latter.~~ Actually, wait, no: in this case it means "every" including you, but with an emphasis on those who are not you.
It's ok, even as a native speaker I had to think through this same thing. I have come to the conclusion it is talking about "all the other drivers on the highway".
Every other-car emphasis rather than every-other car.
It probably is supposed to mean the second, but it reads like the first. To make it actually properly read like the second it would be "all (the) other cars".
Of the 8 billion people on the planet, there's only one that thinks you're the main character.
There's actually 2! My mom and me 🥹
The cars are people?? BRB going to ask my person what their goals and destinations are, they might be different from mine and we need to have a serious heart to heart
I started thinking about this as a kid and I still sometimes get an overflowing realization in a moment of traffic or walk. I got my pilots license a few years ago too and when I’d be up in the air and looking at all the tiny people, cars, homes. It just blew my mind. They’re all people with their own thoughts today and some are mundane and routine and some lives got turned upside down this week and some are happy and some are in chronic pain.
Man. People, ammirite?
This is why we must destroy all cars.
My thought is, um, yeah? That's why we let them merge.
The freaky thing is drivers who criticize other drivers as if they can hear, or the other car AI can and cares.
I don't criticize them expecting them to hear it. I'm more confirming that the stupidity I'm seeing is actually happening and I'm not hallucinating it.
Reminds me of this study from a few months back: Study Finds Cyclists Are Better People Than Drivers
Or, just maybe, you are a NPC for using a car?
but I don't own a car 😇
This is the way
The walkway. Or bike path.
Stop. They only have faces when you look.
Fake fact, someone nearly hit my trying to change lanes and barely reacted when I blew the horn.

It seems one of those life goals are to drive 15 miles per hour lower than the speed limit in the passing lane, and not passing anyone. Every single time I take to the road.
I usually do this mental thought when on the roads looking at houses thinking a whole family lives there with dreams, joys, tragedies, fascinating stories, etc.
I try to keep that mindset when meeting strangers, taking interest in that unknown world.
I do that too and am disappointed that I'll never know their life stories. I think it's a good thing I'm an introvert.
Not true
If so then they better get better at driving because they’re making me mad as hell.
That's what the experience of "sonder" is. It's that very realisation about everyone.
I'm 100% sure I've seen video game AI drive better than at least 40% of people on the roads, no way they're not NPCs
That's fine, just get the hell out of the passing lane if someone is coming up behind you.
ok but sometimes I feel like an NPC because that's how society treats me 😢
So rest assured, you truly are the fabulous important person you think you are, because there really are some cars on the road being driven by NPCs.
Don't believe the meme about NPCs: people are people
This should be something taught by the DMV to get your license.
