Imagine the world is a video game

Imagine the world is a video game for which you were given a character. Everyone else is also just a character in the same video game. Within the video game, there are a number of sub-games which a certain amount of other characters also play in and compete in.


Now go out and play the game the way you want to, to the best of your ability.

I am pretty sure we are living in a simulation to be honest, it's the only way to explain why things have become the way they are.

When you die, you respawn as another character only to face the same existential pain and fear of death that you faced in every one of your previous characters.


The aliens find this amusing.

You just have to do your best with the character you're given.

If you want gigachad status and you weren't born that way, you probably have to get plastic surgeries brah and do all the other things possible to looksmaxxx like looksmaximus.

Overcoming that fear is level one of every game srs.

Technically you respawn as the same character every time you fall asleep and wake up. The game starts over every day.

Life is a game of repeat games.

When you die you respawn as another character.

No lol, if you have high intelligence you get to add more skill points each time you level up.

P.s: Beauty ain't a skill you're thinking of character creation.

Sure you can acquire more skillpoints at the END of the game. But first half of the game has the most content and fun anyway. Endgame is absolute trash and your character gets nerfed quickly as well.

Brb grinding out dozens of useless skill like some pathetic skillcel when you can just chad your way through life with one or two and absolutely mogging attributes.

OP, you're right about everything but one thing, when you respawn, you randomly go into other existing characters (of which the cycle of life differs) till one day you respawn into a human (or other super conscious character).

So you go through trees, lions, eagles, deers etc. till you respawn to a super conscious character, in the current meta, it's humans, maybe in your next respawn, it will be a cyborg (cause if you really think about it, we are already cyborgs, our phones are permanently stuck to us, it gives us data about localisation, weather, shopping etc. we stopped depending on other humans / ourselves to get those informations, the next step will obviously be an integration of that technological part into us).

Unfortunately, luck is also a big part of the game since as some other players pointed out above, you can be born with lower stats, basic genetic defects and go through a ****ty game, you have to play the game you've been given as best as you can, at worst, there's also the quick and easy exit through a suicide bag, gun or barbi, I won't go into details here but I will just tell you that in the past games that I've played, the exit was much harder and most gamers had a really short game (apart from the lucky ones for that cycle, they lived in castles, but when the low currency cycle hits, they were the first to be attacked).

All this to say, don't worry gamers, try to make the best of your current game, try to find a speciality that you like, if you don't like playing, that's okay too, hopefully you get nice stats for your next super conscious character the next time, if it's a cyborg, you better hope it has the high end technology and not the ones made from scrap tech (brb using eyes without infrared capabilities fken lmao)

Pretty sure the alien that controls me uses Pay to win. I’m high in luck, intelligence, looks, charisma and physique, no way that’s fair
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

You should check out a youtube Chanel called "vagrant holiday" a miscer posted about it in another thread and I'm hooked. Best yt content right now.

The guy basically lives a video game life. He travels the world like a hobo, riding stealth in trains and sleeping in the woods/ parks like a hobo. He's been in dozens of countries like this and he never spends money on hotels. He stashes his hobo camp in the woods while he's exploring the town, taking chits and cleaning himself in McDonald's and chit. He picks ticket stubs from trash cans and visits all the museums and chit for free.

Even as a hobo se seems to slay local women now and then too lol. Anyway hi record's his videos in a first point of view perspective and he always has funny commentary to go with them. Dudes based as phuck, he never posts his face or identity which is cool in an age of blatant narcissism.

Can't post links since I'm on my phone but check it out.

Saw all his vids recently, not sure if you were the one to post the thread, really good channel and inspired me to try that kind of lifestyle with its hardships.

I mean it pretty much is. Education and work are boring af, but are necessary skills to up your rep and position in life. Then you can buy a home n focus on things you really like. When you play Skyrim, you pretty much do all the boring chit till you can buy a house. Once you have one house, levelling is easy and you save more money etc. Pretty much how life goes.

It's an interesting thought but i think what is happening is we have always been living in the elites simulation/matrix but they were just implementing things slowly into our society but for some reason after 2012 they decided to just throw it all out there and crash the whole thing. So now we are witnessing the fall of the west. I still legit wonder where all of this is coming from but with social media i feel like they can push agendas much faster aka clown world

David Icke talked about this years ago how we were all indoctrinated since birth to accept certain things like history in school, college, working hard etc. That system is breaking as we move into age of Aquarius.

They even brainwashed millennials with consumerism and wanting everything name brand and stuff like that. Now look where we are with everyone just consuming everything. No community. Just look at me!

I agree with your first part of the post about experiencing different levels of consciousness on respawn, i.e. as animals, trees, bugs etc.

You lost me though at the bold. You're claiming to remember past lives/deaths?

Yep, it's why they say there's levels to this chit. Everyone has to pay their dues in some way. Otherwise they have what they're given.
