no

>>59969836
probably

>>59969836
yes

>>59969836
Probably not

>>59969836
absolutely.

The original game was a simulator trying to demonstrate how an adaptive distributed system (life) could survive meteors, climate changes and other cataclysmic events.
So far it works OK. There are scheduled events every now and then, and the dashboard also has a dedicated button (e.g: to send a deluge)

The server was hacked by some kids who wanted to larp as cruel gods and they made an ape able to think and talk just for fun.

They quitted some time ago when they got bored. They are playing some other games now. However some players are still being worshiped by the chimps who have been left wondering wtf happened.

I'm tire try again later.

>>59969836
Does it really matter?

>>59969836
blacked again

we can assume that any civilisation intelligent enough would start creating simulations in which intelligence could develop and create their own simulations
of course one cannot simulate the universe in which they exist, but they can simulate a simpler one. for example we may be able to simulate a 2D universe at some point

maybe we are a simulation created by 4D beings

You are over complicating it, all it takes is one D and a wet hole to create anon.

Yes however it's not exactly a computer.
If there wasn't any simulation you wouldn't even exist.

Any realm in which you exist requires applications of the principles of that realm.
The application of those principles can be considered akin to a per-frame update of a video game.
The most obvious principle of the universe is physics. There are a few other principles that work "behind the scenes," similar to how the logic of animation updates occur such as the way NPCs example move around.
When Elon Musk spoke about it he referred to "base reality." Yes, we are living in base reality. Harven, the afterlife, etc... are different realms, each with their own principles that have to be applied.
The application of these principles pretty much match our understanding of them. We describe the paths of particles via the mathematical principles defined in physics, "updating" or advancing the state of the universe involves applying these principles to every particle in the universe.
Consider how much of a computational challenge it is to update the forces on a single atom on the surface of earth. The atom has to consider the gravitational pull caused by all other atoms on earth.
Time in this universe can be paused and the universe can be duplicated or deleted. Consider the case of an emulation where you pause the emulation, any amount of time can occur outside of the universe and it could take any amount of time to update the universe because your perception of the flow of time is dependent purely on the principles of the universe. Our universe could be paused for any indefinite amount of time and you wouldn't perceive it at all.
