If it is a simulation, yet knowing that does not give you any ability to control the simulation in any way then why even waste your simulation time considering it? Just play it to the best of your ability.

It explains a lot. And makes me take it less seriously, and I'm not falling for the reincarnation scam anymore.

If it is a simulation then reincarnation is almost a certainty. How you play the game determines what you get at the start of the next one.

I'm not playing again. This has to be the worst game ever. At least for the odd person who likes Creative Mode.

You don't have a choice. The simulation will restart and you won't have any memory if this. Just the residual evidence of how it changed your code.

What is your problem with the game anyway? It's not supposed to be easy. Do better.

No, I'll refuse to go to the white light trap. Just like exiled programs in The Matrix. I have enough memory left to know it's not 100% effective, and more can return. I'm not the only one either. Angels disguised as people I knew and "God" aren't going to fool me anymore. I'm trying to spread the word. I've always been suspicious of NDEs, because they're never in line with God, but rather human ideas about him. Yet they can't be making it up in their heads either, because it's roughly the same for everyone, only with whichever deity they believe in. It is now crystal clear that this is a trick. I have had enough of it.

What do you mean what is my problem with the game? Look around you. It's literally nothing but misery and suffering, for most of the world nonstop. For God's sake wake up already, and stop buying those toxic positivity lies about the world being good even when it's a vile prison. The only way you could possibly like this is by being so brainwashed that you don't even think about these things. Games aren't supposed to be easy, but they're supposed to be enjoyable, and you're not meant to be forced to play. No, this is slavery and experimentation, or maybe just some sadists using us for kicks. Either way it's beyond obvious what kind of existence this is. There's no hidden beauty to it, and if it's a lesson it's a pointless one because you won't be able to remember it next time anyway. Despite this people still fall for that idea in droves. I guess we want to believe our situation is better than it is so we pretend it is. Then when someone points out the obvious they are hated and persecuted.

I'm having a good ol time. You are the architect of your own experience. Blame the player not the game. And don't worry so much about what you think the NPC's experience is. Most of the misery exists to create side quests. What you do about the misery reveals who you are. If you can't handle the thought of other's misery just ignore it. You do you boo.

Games aren't supposed to be easy, but they're supposed to be enjoyable,

Then call it a test. You are making bad assumptions by attaching meaning that isn't there. It's definitely not supposed to be what YOU want it to be. How arrogant.

No, this is slavery and experimentation,

How is a simulation more slavery and experimentation than a non simulation? You are grasping at straws trying to construct a logical form for your negative emotions but you are clearly way off base. You aren't making sense.

Your life sucks largely because of the choices you made. You choose to cling to excuses like "muh uncontrollable circumstances" and ignore all the ways you could have done better. That attitude of always looking to blame anything but yourself is why you so desperately want this to be a simulation. You desperately want something else to be in control of your life so you don't take the blame for it.

It won't get better until you make it better, and that won't happen until you start holding yourself responsible.

I wish it were that easy. You know, I used to say the same things and probably hurt many people with my prideful attitude. When I was young I had not even a fraction of the problems I have now, and I'm not talking about the new responsibilities, which are nothing compared to what else I have to face. My mental illnesses appear to be mostly progressive and induced by puberty, I have been a total wreck. Before that I was that person who thought everyone who suffered deserved it, it was their own fault for making bad choices, and I was glad to not be like that. I always did the right thing and was better than everyone else. Or so I thought. "Reality" hit me like a brick in the head when all of a sudden, I failed and fell into trouble no matter what I did. I no longer had the luxury of being able to do well by simply making the right choices. Bad luck got me left and right and there was nothing I could do about it. Over time, it became apparent that it must be consciously decided, because it was way to sophisticated to be random. The fact that whoever I mentioned this to suddenly became laser aggressive toward me, even people who were otherwise calm and kind, pretty much sealed the deal. The "universe" is predestining everything, and it is not good, and it's a conspiracy that it wants to cover up. Eventually I lost the strength to even control myself. Now I see why everyone else struggled to be good all the time, because under normal circumstances it's next to impossible. I was very lucky back then, it came easily to me but not to others. But I could not see this. Instead I simply assumed it was all their own fault, and judged them ruthlessly for it. Now I'm humbled. And not only this, but making the right choices no longer results in positive consequences. I used to be lucky enough myself to not realize how literally 100% of life is "luck", or rather predestination disguised as luck. I does not matter what I do, I'm shoved right back on the road to the same terrible fate. And honestly it was foolish of me to ever think that I had any real control over my life, or anyone else over theirs, and I regret blaming them when things went wrong. I'm sure if you told to someone in a gulag what you just told me, they would be very hurt, because "making good choices" isn't going to get them out of there. In fact it will most likely get them tortured. It's not their fault they are in there, they are victims of a corrupt regime. Likely born there. Is that their fault? Can they do anything about it? Look how poorly Jesus's life went. He never did anything wrong. This is the problem with liberals. They think everything is someone's fault, and can't accept that the world isn't 100% inherently good and loving. And they think humans and government can magically fix everything just by doing good. But all they end up doing is making things even worse.

The truth is this world is a mind experiment, or sadistic bullying, either way slavery. I've been through every way of trying to dress it up nice, and it's all lies. I'm sick of the bullshit toxic positivity coping. The only real solution is to find a way out.

It's definitely not supposed to be what YOU want it to be.

Then tell me: how on earth could it possibly be a good thing? It makes me a slave, no matter how you try to reframe it. And it makes you one too. It's torture, plain and simple. You've become so dependent on the world and brainwashed, you can't separate yourself from it. That is very sad.

"making good choices" isn't going to get them out of there. In fact it will most likely get them tortured.

So you admit that even in a gulag people have choices to make, and those choices can effect if they get tortured or not. I'm not being sarcastic, or trolling. You need to realize that just because your choices can't "get you off the road" doesn't mean that they don't matter. Giving up makes your situation worse. Wallowing in self pity makes you give up. Fight it. Fight the urge to tell me I'm wrong to win an internet argument. Fight for the strength to keep fighting. Try to prove me right and you will find that reality will follow.

Sometimes it is good to quit. Quitting because you don't like something or it's hurting you is completely different from accepting defeat.
