It’s a race between GrayStillPlays and Let’sGameItOut to see who can break the game first, and I’m here for it.
Didn’t Spiffing Brit find a few infinite money glitches with Steam and/or YouTube?
Haven’t heard of Gray, but if they’re
nothinganything (thank you auto correct for making me say the opposite of what I meant) like LetsGameItOut then I should really check them out.“Ruin the game!” Is one of Gray’s catchphrases.
I’m here for it. Let’s speed run the next cosmic reboot.
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!
Like before the last reboot 13,8 billon years ago
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
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?
good! we need to turn it off and then on again.
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.
Oh you think you exist somehow outside the simulation and are not just a construct of it. The Truman of the show.
It’s nothing special. It’s blue.
Now excuse me, I’m off to imbibe vast quantities of alcohol.
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…
I’m imagining a big ERROR - pop-up appearing in the sky all of the sudden.
The idea amuses me!
“We apologize for the inconvenience”
:( Something went wrong.
If you send this to a technician, include this error code: <Error>
Seeing Valve’s error.mdl would explain so much about this universe.
I remember playing starfield and a planet preview got corrupted, so the planet was full of “you shouldn’t be seeing this” textures
Something like this
I am also amused
It’s all good, the simulation has asset culling and LOD settings.
You know that friend of yours who never did anything after high school and then completely disappeared? That’s right. Asset culling.
Huh, weird, their mom said it was a drug overdose.
And I thought my eyesight diminishes as I age. Turns out it’s reality itself that’s falling apart.
And figured out parallax a long time ago
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.
This is the second post in a row where I see Douglas Adams referenced.
Time was when you would be in a forum and think “This is the second post in a row where nobody referenced Douglas Adams.”
Lmao I remember this quote from Futurama S4E8 Godfellas. I didn’t know they got it from Douglas Adams.
BSOD vibes
We love neo-geocentrism
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.
I use glasses so I can switch between high render distance and high-FPS.
