A /v/ meme. Stands for non player character. The little guys that wander around a town saying the same things to RPG player characters.

These types of interactions are a good example of "npc behaviors" . Clip taken from Oblivion which I don't recommend playing.

Non player character. They aren't living a stary ass life. Think if them as part of the world like animals in a natural order, rather than Individuals with complex dicision making and goals. They basically have zero motivations aside from existance. In games they rarley leave the same house let alone city.

I took Benjamin to represent the stolid bulk of older Russians that were sharp enough to know that things had been shit under the Czars, were shit under the USSR, and would continue to be shit under whatever replaced the USSR. Given this mindset, there is no impetus to overthrow the system because you know that things will never get better. Benjamin just made the best of a bad situation - until Boxer got the glue wagon.

I just read his Wikipedia article after asking and it suggested he either represented that or the intelegencia that did nothing, even though they were just as smart as the pigs. Probably a mix of both.

I disagree; Benjamin was not a fart sniffer. Benjamin had sincere resolve to mind his own business, not out of hand wringing cowardice, but out of cold resignation. Besides:
>Donkeys live a long time
kind of spells it out for you. Benjamin is old.

I said “You even know what that stands for?”
He responds TO ME, not the OP “Brainlet here , what exactly ?

“Stands for” is not revering to a quote. You think he meant “what does that quote mean exactly ?” But he never said it.
