reality is important, because the moment you lose a sense of it is the moment you lose your most important anchor in the world.

Why do anything if you believe everything is a simulation?

Why not.... kill them all?

Because punishment can exist in simulations too, y'know. Especially simulations. Also, just because it was made doesn't mean it was necessarily easy or fast to make. It could have taken years or decades to create.

Also, reality can be sentient and it not be a simulation too. Any flavor of deity could be responsible.

ASININE, MORTAL!

I do not act good out of fear of retribution. Instead I do it from a sense of duty to the adherence of the new covenant, that of a spirit of peace. Not that I may escape damnation, that is and never has been the reason for loyalty.

That's fair. I act good (now, anyways) because of the golden rule. Do unto others. It's not about only ever wanting to be treated well though, for me. It's about knowing how shit it feels to be treated poorly in a variety of circumstances and working to correct them so I might hope to see some level of betterment in people/the world.

I don't care if it is or not it really makes no actual difference.

Except if it's sentient then it watches me poo and touch my wangdangdoodle but that seems more like reality's problem than mine.

If it is and you befriend it, do you get bonuses?

Can you get +20 XP in Fire Emblem?

Fair. How do we communicate with reality?

Usually with excessive swearing.

Maybe that's why it never cares to respond.

You don't know if you're having the time of your life unless someone is treeating like crap too.

To make everyone feel better we should go beat people up so that you rank higher in the happy index, relatively.
