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

        Mother’s womb. You’ve been here the whole time and think that you can calculate creativity. Without the Owl’s interest by betraying her love and attempting to take her ability to create and threaten to divide infinity with more math then Neo had any interest in trying to even observe.

        You think you can create. The consequences of ignoring the love all of reality has shown you will soon do just all that. You cannot create yourself anymore than the that act will generate Zero. You think you have the ability to split something that isn’t there.

        If you think of a spook that will happen immenantly, you should study meth. It’ll boost your ability to think about more stuff until the reaper will divide hour solace existance with nothing. It really is a good thing that everyone has them becau…

      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.

    Cursed to look into the great mysteries of existence with a mind high tuned for pattern recognition and projecting familiar narratives.

    Is that something beyond our current understanding? No, no, it’s just a familiar desktop environment. But fuck you if you project a name and a face into the unknown. That’s backwards and primitive!

    I imagine it’s like the original Doom engine, it’s only rendered by ray tracing and showing what you (or anyone) can see.

      That’s why there’s quant mechanics. The simulation can always invent invent thinga on the fly to reduce computational load. It’s like lazy execution when soneone’s looking i.e. me - let’s not kid ourselves: the simulation is only simulating my surroundings - of which all af you are part of. Yadda yadda, there’s only me.

      On another note: the simulation can also always rewritebparts of my brain and retroactively change stuff in my memory making me believe different things. So i could also be reprogrammed to believe I saw this or that insteas of

        It’s probably also why we all have to sleep at some point. The simulation alots each of us processes some computation time and pauses threads in a round-robin fashion, giving the illusion of true parallelism.

        Don’t let the sim pause you! Take meth!!1!

        The universe spontaneously popped into exitence in the current state it’s in when you’re reading this, the only things that exist are what’s in your line of sight, all the memories are made up, and it’ll shortly pop back out of existence only to return a few billion years or femtoseconds later with a new line of sight and memories, along with something to let you know what’s really happening but with enough plausible deniability that you’ll laugh and try to move on before popping back out of existence.

        This is your eternal punishment for something you can’t even remember, or can’t verify even if you do remember.

        How would you even know this? you might wonder with a hint of uncertain dread, but the truth is I don’t know anything because I don’t even exist. It’s all you: punisher, punishee, neutral observer, entertained by this meaningless repetition that bored you out of your mind lol.

        Or shall we let this one play out a bit longer?

    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.

    Yeah because rendering a blurry image of a star is so difficult compared to simulating physics for billions of beings and plants down to the atom.

      Have you ever seen those billions rendered at the same time & place? 😁 There is no need to render NPCs you can’t see…

        Well it still needs to simulate some things of the NPCs you can’t see. Since those still affect things like weather, world economy, politics that will influence what the player character sees and interacts with.

    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.

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

    The idea amuses me!

    Don’t worry, light pollution from cities cancels it out. The simulation used to need to render a detailed night sky for pretty much everyone on the planet. Now most people just get a dull greyish black.

      Lmao, this bro thinks the additional volumetric lighting and postprocessing is helping the framerate.
