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?
Yes, but he didn’t use them to crash entire sites.
I’m waiting for TheSpiffingBrit to finally find an exploit for infinite entropy.
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
nothinganything (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.
“Ruin the game!” Is one of Gray’s catchphrases.
DoS on the universe
False. Time dilation is already implemented and likely proportional to exceeding processing ability. At worst we’ll tick so slow that every moment is eternity.
Maybe the frame rate is slowing down already. We’d never know.
That happened in Permutation City. The simulation could stop intermittently or go extremely slow and no one inside could notice.
Wh-A-A-A-t?¿?
We wouldn’t even know if He had to turn it off and back on again a couple times.
That happens nightly unless a user is still running which causes the next day to run all slow and laggy
That’s a pivotal plot point of Dark City
Back in the 90s and early 00s when I was in HS and college, going to the video store and finding gems like this and watching them at midnight so I could return the tape the next day made movie watching much more of an adventure. I enjoy my streaming services, but might suffer a bit from too much choice. The closest I get now is when I watch some movie I never heard of because it is on Netflix’s removal list.
I remember watching that in highschool, probably influenced me than I know
Same. I watched it all the time
I’m fairly certain that would be impossible to have all users logged off at the same time
Just pause time itself. There, everyone is sleeping.
As someone who seems to have a 36 hour circadian rhythm, my life would be dramatically better if I could pause time to sleep when needed, actually been a dream of mine for about 25 years
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.
Are you trying to deport me???
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.
I swear to Oracle that if you make my mouth disappear I will put you on a bus with a speed sensitive explosive
We do need a reboot…
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.
hopefully it’s not running on Nvidia
If the universe catches fire we’ll know
Long before they crash we will lag.
Things already lag if it’s moving near the max speed supported by the engine or near an object that requires a lot of calculations.
Of course. But since we are inside the simulation how would we know. Unless some systems lag more than others.
Unless some systems lag more than others.
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?
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!
Get wrekt David Hume, there is no God in the Quad
There’s a short story (more of a novella) by Stephen Baxter on this exact topic, for what it’s worth. Touching Centauri: https://www.e-reading.mobi/chapter.php/1035265/30/stephen-baxter-phase-space.html
Also this short comic: Bad Space: Cataract.
If that were true, and it was just a simple large telescope using lenses, would anything have to actually be rendered or would simple 2D images displayed in the telescope results suffice? Also assumes no pre-rendering.
Assuming there’s no one else in that part of the universe looking at it from closer up, you could probably play around with fudging some super-duper low-resolution (compared to being there) LoDs on that part of the sky to make it look and behave good enough.

It’s all good, the simulation has asset culling and LOD settings.
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
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.
The simulation is intentionally choosing the most convoluted and incomprehensible content possible in order to try and stop us.
You joke, but the James Webb DLC is tripping everyone up.
black holes and dark matter are the errors starting to pop up
