Are we in a giant simulation? If so, what’s the point and when will the dlc drop?

If we were living in a simulation, they wouldn't have made my life so goddamn uneventful and boring; they would've made me swim in the pool and then remove the ladder, so that I drown or installed a mod that gave me the bone structure of a dog, so that all my animations are fucked up.

I doubt it, a simulation, along with the language of that 101010 stuff doesn’t really make sense to malleability of the Human mind.
If we are living in one, you’d think that means one day we became capable enough to do this sort of thing.
If I remember right, no leading science believes we could ever do it, therefore kinda unlikely.

We couldn’t be sim-like in simulation either, we’re simply much more complex, and the sims are just. fiction. entirely, true to fake, fiction.

Last would be a brain in robot, or liquid filled box, in which case takes too much subjective/relativism style arguments to hold any actual merit. Nobody else could disagree with you, because they’re the experience of your perception. They can disagree with your ability to believe they can, but why listen? They’re not real, they’re made up, they’re a product of your dream world. You’re a brain in a jar dude, ignore em, go jump off that bridge the cop told ya not to.
Then there’s the innate issue with them all, to create a complex simulation, you need an even more complex creation/technology to do so, presumably at least.
We can’t even figure string theory out, nor do some leading figures in science believe we’ll ever have the math capable of doing so.
Imagine it’s possible though, 10D, well 4-10D Universe with a future where we created items that transcend such Universe in complexity?

Having no empirical evidence or testable implications, this argument is not science or even scientific speculation. In the language of pragmatism and logical positivism.
Unlike say String Theory, in which Science believes it’s possible if we could calculate/structure it, we just can’t
There’s absolutely zero evidence on the simulation theory, save for sophism, if we accept this who’s to say there’s not a species above the one above us, or one greater than them. Where does it stop, we have no free will, we are nothing.

But it doesn’t exist.


TL/DR

I don't always (or usually) agree with Sam Hyde, but he once said the simulation theory, namely the likelihood argument made by Nick Bostrom, was a way of dragging people into nihilist thought. It's worded in such a way to be as irrefutable and as hopeless as possible, when really it's all semantics. It's a fucking SCP basically, remember that anytime you think of this theory. It's some cosmic horror fanfiction, nothing else.

Even if it were true what exactly the fuck would anyone do with that information

Probably realize life isn’t just more meaningless than they thought, it’s also completely out of their control to change, or make any better. They’d attempt near death via hanging, simulation wouldn’t allow it. Endless suffering, then after they finish shidding or farding they’d just cope.
maybe
