Nothing except believing that there was a creation force that created me.

Find the command to open the console. Issue su -. Try to guess the password.

understand the rules and do any side quest that i encounter

I mean… it wouldn’t really be my move, would it?

I'd break the fourth wall and give thanks to the creator.

Unless there is additional context like how to communicate with the outside world there's not really reason to change anything. Even if the life I love and the bonds I've created are "fake" it doesn't mean they're not worthwhile.

But if it's something like the controllers of the simulation are actively making things worse or refusing to improve things then that's different.

I would just keep living my life, it’s not actionable information for me.

Does it mean anything in itself to be in a simulation?

I don't really see how that would change anything in my day to day life.

Try to hack it. Would love some infinite resource bug.

Fuzzing inputs until I find a buffer overflow.

Wouldn't make a difference. The only part that could change my actions would be what happens once it ends. But simulation or no I'm stuck here for however many years and have to make the best of it.

It wouldn't change anything because this is the reality we have. I wouldn't suddenly become immoral because there are still consequences and even if some people or even everyone but me is not real, they will still react as though they have emotions. If I hurt my wife, she would still cry. If I did something bad enough, she might divorce me. Take half my stuff. Lose some access to my kids. Those are all real consequences even if the people are simulated.

Maybe I'd be less concerned for people not immediately around me because any good simulation wouldn't actually sim everything out of range, so there wouldn't e.g. be Palestinians starving to death if no one "real" was there.

I suppose it would re-open the question of existence beyond death, but I don't think I would ultimately come to a different conclusion—there is no reason to think this experience would continue past my own death, and if I were memory-wiped and re-inserted it wouldn't really be the same me anyway, right?

If it were matrix-style there is a reality out there to experience if I can leave the simulation, I'd have some hard thinking to do about whether that would be likely to be a better existence than the one I'm having here.

Make coffee.

Commit 34 felonies and run for president

But in the end it doesn't even matter

Simulation meaning the universe and everything in it is simulated, including myself? Or like I'm jacked into a simulation Matrix-style?

The former means there's nothing to do about it. The latter means what I do here is largely irrelevant.

Big difference in response.

um. look to reprogram this shit.

Jack off and do fuck all???

Doesn't change much, at least I know I only live once and afterlife is fake

Remember that I'm a nihilist and shrug my shoulders.

Then start to think about how everyone else is going to react and how I'll need to plan for that.

Try to access the help or stats menu.

Nothing changes does it?

Also I'm not sure if I'd me more or less scared of death. If this is a simulation, to escape reality, I can't imagine how terrible reality would really be.

I'd give the sky the finger and then spend too much time wondering what perspective we're even being viewed from.

I'd also probably start a diary, except every entry would be: "Fuck you people for creating a world like this. Do you enjoy the suffering of countless people? Turns out God really is a prick."

Have you heard of Roko's Basilisk? Basically, if we were in a simulation, it's best not to acknowledge it

Noclipping into the Backrooms.

Try the ESC key.

I would have Morpheus upload Kung Fu into my brain.

Is there an option to leave the simulation? And could I come back if I didn't like reality?

If I couldn't come back, I would probably just stay here.

It would be an interesting fact, and I'd want to study the hell out of it, but it doesn't really change anything if nothing can be done about it.

I think that two items would be pretty prominent for humanity:

• First, if we know not just that it is a simulation but that this brings some knowledge of how the simulation's physics work that differs from our previous non-simulation understanding, how to make use of those properties.

• Second, figuring out how to "break out", how to influence the world in which the simulation is being run.
