I play life on hard mode, permadeath on, neutral birth options.
I'm aiming for one of those grim-dark endings with lots of robots and Warhammer 40K references.
Doing great so far, and haven't even died once!
I'm not a big fan of the pay2win mechanics though. Kinda ruins the gameplay.

I give it a 999,999,999 in a billion chance that he watched The Matrix last night

lol. He probably watches it to psyche himself up for another day of being too cool for the rest of us

But do you code shite? For your sake, I hope not.

I wondered why there was a big red sign saying "LEVEL 2" when I reached 1,000,000 rep points!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I think I'm a curly brace short of a function...
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Are You Living in a Simulation?[^]
I posted this in the Lounge in April 2003!

We Are living in computer simulations.
The computer is our brain, and everything we see, hear, feel, etc, is composited there.
Who knows what the world really looks like?

I had a dream once... more of a nightmare, that I was playing quake and I was the character in the game, and someone shot a rocket at me and I realized that it wasn't a dream and a game, but that it was real (in my dream) and caught such a big fright knowing that if the rocket hit me I'm dead that I woke up almost like Leonardo di caprio in the movie inception where I went into a state where a had to spin something as to make sure that I was actually in the real reality and not in inception.
What I learned from that experience is that life is not a game, so don't screw with it.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo
I don´t want to be a computer simulation!!!!!
|
|
|
|
|
Why Not?
What difference does it make?
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, my low level of English prevents me from maintaining a deep conversation, so I'll be brief:
Surely no difference, a simulation does not know that it is being simulated.
It is, above all, a psychological desire. I want to really exist. I want to have soul. I don't want to be a hologram, or executable code.
My life should make sense, else what I'm doing here?
If I'm not real, I want to kill the matrix architect.

Strongly recommended:
Realtime Interrupt: James P. Hogan: 9780671578848: Amazon.com: Books[^]
This story is not quite being a computer simulation, but about living in a computer simulation. Or... Is is reality? How would you find out? When you exit the simulation, how do you know that you are back to reality?
I known people who have had sleeping problems after reading this novel. Admittedly, it is somewhat "creepy". But fascinating. Like all James P Hogan novels, it is very well researched, carrying a lot of real expert knowledge, with a logically consistent story. And just slightly across the border to Science Fiction: You are left with a feeling that this could be real reality in just a few years.

we are a computer simulation != high possibility we are computer simulation

Well a program bug would explain the presidential race this year....

Nah! Not a bug - just a hacker having a laugh!

Well I guess the joke will be on us...

ELON MUSK FINDS GOD
One could confer that Elon is saying there is a higher power. Indeed he is saying that GOD exists and is in control of everything!

Once you start learning a little bit about quantum mechanics you can't help but agree.
The fact that the universe doesn't hold the position of every particle in "memory" but a probability simplification... That's exactly what I'd do to save resources if I were to program a universe.
The fact that there is a speed limit (light speed) is so weird that I have to think it's done because otherwise the processing speed required would be infinite.
It makes perfect sense.
Oh! I almost forgot... Did you know that the universe has a "resolution"? Yup. 0,000000000000000000000000000000000001 meters is the smallest possible size for anything

I know a lot about QM and I don't agree. Without the facts of physical law you mention, the inflationary Big Bang, the coalescence of matter into stars, and the arisal of organisms that can figure these things out would not occur. Therefore, such facts of physical law are logically necessary. This is the weak anthropic principle.
