Are We Living in a Cosmic Video Game? And If So, Who's the Developer?

Title: "Are We Living in a Cosmic Video Game? And If So, Who's the Developer?"

Ever feel like reality is just a little too weird? Like things don’t quite add up? You put your keys down, turn around, and poof! They're gone. You swear there was a Berenstein Bears book, but now it’s Berenstain. (Seriously, who approved that spelling change?) Maybe you experience déjà vu so often you’re convinced you've hit a save point in life. Well, my friend, welcome to Simulation Theory 101, where we ask: Is this base reality, or are we living in a high-resolution video game with questionable patch updates?

Rendering Reality on a Budget

Now, if we were designing a simulation, how would we do it? Would we render everything in existence all at once? No! That’s a waste of processing power. Just like a video game, it’s far more efficient to render only what the player sees. Think about it: when you turn a corner, does the world exist behind you? Or does it only load in once you look? That tree in your backyard—do you really know it's still there when you're not looking at it? Or does the simulation just generate it when needed? (Go ahead, run back there real quick. I’ll wait.)

This also explains why the speed of light is a hard limit—it prevents information from rendering faster than the system can process. The universe might just be an open-world game with a strict draw distance.

The Great Memory Rewrite (a.k.a. The Mandela Effect)

Let’s take this theory one step further. What if short-term memory is also flexible? Like, what if the simulation can edit our perceptions in real-time? If you notice a glitch—say, an object that shouldn’t exist—the system might just patch your memory and pretend it was never there. ("No, that building was always green.")

Enter the Mandela Effect: mass memory inconsistencies that suggest someone—somewhere—keeps rolling out sneaky updates. Maybe we all did remember Nelson Mandela dying in the ’80s, but then the devs decided to extend his storyline. Maybe it was the Berenstein Bears, but then an intern made a typo in the latest patch, and now we have to pretend "Berenstain" was correct all along. (We're onto you, Reality Dev Team.)

Jesus Knew How to Hack the Game

If this is a simulation, maybe ancient mystics, prophets, and that one uncle who swears he can win at scratch-offs every time just figured out how to manipulate it. Jesus literally said, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can move mountains." Sounds a lot like cheat codes, doesn’t it?

  • Walking on water? No-clip mode activated.
  • Turning water into wine? Alchemy patch exploit.
  • Raising the dead? Respawn hack.

Maybe the entire point of existence is to figure out how to become a modder in the game of reality.

Déjà Vu: A Glitch or a Save State?

Ever have a moment where everything feels exactly like you’ve done it before? That’s déjà vu, baby. And if we’re in a simulation, this could be the system reloading a previous checkpoint. Maybe you died in a timeline you don’t remember, and the game just sent you back a few seconds to fix your mistake. Or maybe you just experienced a reality autosave.

(If this is true, then good news! You can probably save-scum your way to success. Bad job interview? Just keep going back until you nail it.)

So, Who’s Running the Simulation?

That’s the billion-dollar question. Are we:

  • A historical reconstruction from DNA fragments discovered in the future?
  • A cosmic science project for hyper-intelligent beings?
  • The beta test for an intergalactic MMORPG (where nobody has figured out how to contact the devs)?

Or are we just some alien teenager’s homework assignment that they forgot to submit? That would explain a lot of the bugs.

Final Thoughts (Before the Simulation Updates Again)

If this is a simulation, should we try to break it? Should we find the cosmic command console and type in GODMODE? Or are we here to level up, solve the mystery, and ascend to the next dimension? One thing’s for sure—someone, somewhere, is coding in real-time. And if they’re reading this…

Fix the economy while you're at it, please.

What do you think? Are we living in base reality, or just another cosmic RPG? Drop your thoughts below (unless, of course, your memory gets wiped first).
