Some of the best times I've had in video games is discovering easter eggs and getting outside the maps in Halo 2. We discovered some crazy shit

[lasselasse]

A few hours ago I discussed this very topic with some colleagues, and now I find this in my feed. Oh the synchronicity.

[hipreference]

Is Lex Fridman a Gnostic? Should Lex interview fellow Austinite Richard Linklater on this very idea? Because Waking Life changed my whole life, I think he totally should. Also he should mention Austin Public and this dearth of new comedians making their home here, it’s a great resource.

[BirdDawg]

Excellent question and answer! Wow, lot to think about!

[godclothshango]

Well it first starts with achieving CHIM.

[dylahn]

What an absolutely entertaining question to ask that man thank you for this

[sumtingwong]

The best way is to find a tutorial on Youtube about it

[paulmurphy]

If we are living in a small simulation I'd like to talk to the programmer about their pronouns. Seems like a productive use of time.

We live in a Victoria 47 run by some sweaty streamer from Europa

I guess if the simulation was designed with no way out, the only way to get out would be to simulate the base really world inside the simulation. The only way out is in.

[NourDaher]

the door is inside the searcher ⚜if i was a smart programmer i will hide the door inside the player 👍👍😉😉💥💥💥💥💎💎💎💎💎💎 it is a state of consciousness

How you escape from this simulation: Neutrality/ detachment.

[ritalinSolution]

Reminds me of the progression of the game Portal

[Blazeww]

You probably don't want to do that the wrong way...

If this is a simulation someone created it and knows the rules of it and what happens if you get it wrong.

[ericm]

Up up down down left right left right b a select start

[bleedingcovenant]

to escape is to never be in the first place

[DankBlastBeats]

That's easy bro, just achieve CHIM.

[cellardoor]

Look, Todd, the dev room is one code away. it's not that hard to find.

[Red_AIert]

I guess it would be best not to try to respawn. 😬
