You ... are ... a ... toy! You're aren't the real Isildurs Heir! You're, you're an action figure! You are a child's plaything!

Whoever is playing my character must be thoroughly disappointed with my life choices.
That explains why you run around the street kicking boxes in search of treasure chests and enhanced weapons.
But....if he is playing with your character...doesn't it mean that he is the one making you life choices?!?Whoever is playing my character must be thoroughly disappointed with my life choices.
Count me in, but i want a restart button.I've been desperately looking for the save point for about 2 decades so I can go back and do the first part better. No luck as of yet but I'm sure soon I'll find it.![]()

And doesn't it makes the player a sadist?

unless the player doesn't know he is playing a game and/or he doesn't know the character is sentient

Unfortunately, save points are only located inside Subway franchises, and you have to eat something there first. Not worth it at all.![]()

No, i haven't.Have you seen the Rick and Morty episode where they play the VR game about living a human's life? Hilarious and vaguely associated with this train of thought.
But that would bring us to another question.I've always imagined the simulation hypothesis as either a SIMS or Civilization type of simulation where the player isn't actually controlling each individual life but more of the broad strokes kind of thing.
Since the restart would mean everything again, with no prior knowledge of what happens, i would like to take a new crack at it, since i failed at it since day one.F*** that, I ain't doing this life BS again. I'd rather be floating around the multi-dimensional ether.
