    Well, have you considered that perhaps that’s the point?

    In the beginning was the Creation of the Universe. This has made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

        That happens nightly unless a user is still running which causes the next day to run all slow and laggy

            No need, you just allocate users to servers depending on theie average sleep/wake cycle nd bounce the servers one at a time, when usage is at a minimum. Ever had one if those late night brain’s gone blank moments? Now you know.

                Believe it or not…straight to jail.

                I’ve just spotted your username, I feel sure one of your relations had some sort of run in with the sysops already, and now you’re trying to convince people that there can’t be server reboots? Suspicious. Very suspicious.

      That happened in Permutation City. The simulation could stop intermittently or go extremely slow and no one inside could notice.

    I mean, planck length & planck time are probably the resolution our simulation runs at. And collapsing superposition? Obviously just the “LoD” system only rendering what’s relevant to the users/creators and wasting no resources on unused assets.

    Lol it would be the simulators fault for trying to run the universe on a potato computer!

    Just download more ram Mr Simulator!

    Do universal simulationists believe in an anthropocentric simulation? They really gotta go all the way to reinventing a personal god who cultivates all of creation around human experience while remaining invisible and omniscient, but this time it’s a robot they’re inside of.

      Makes sense they appeal to similar groups and both provide naive comfort of an unfalsifiable metaphysics instead of having to deal with the discomfort of the unknown and not knowing.

    [to be read in a snobby British accent]

    Dear Gentle or Ladyman

    It appears that you might have some trouble understanding the fundamental concepts of “the universe”. See, in order for us to, let’s say, "know“ what is out there, we first have to observe it. Or rather, explain why a certain thing is the way it is.

    You see, we already are affected by the working is these said far away galaxies and celestial bodies. Which means that this is like a slime farm in the spawn chunks. While we do not see it, the farm continuously runs.

    I’m imagining a big ERROR - pop-up appearing in the sky all of the sudden.

    The idea amuses me!

    At some point you just gotta realise you won’t support 2+k consumer graphics & simply let it render at less details.

    Who is gonna know? Yes, boobs have always been triangles.

    It’s a race between GrayStillPlays and Let’sGameItOut to see who can break the game first, and I’m here for it.

      Haven’t heard of Gray, but if they’re nothing anything (thank you auto correct for making me say the opposite of what I meant) like LetsGameItOut then I should really check them out.

        I watch them both, LGIO is more about finding glitches and pushing a game to its limits. Grey is more about just not giving up and skill to do the impossible, both are fun.

    The simulation is intentionally choosing the most convoluted and incomprehensible content possible in order to try and stop us.

    They have a trick: every time you sleep, they reboot to avoid memory leaks.

    It also allows them to optimize in the background.

    I would fucking love to see the walls around me come crashing down with a matrix effect.

    It’d be a sigh of relief. A deep one.
