    You got me thinking about the next stage.

    How long could one live in GTA, knowing that everyone else is an NPC, before they became a monster that could not be safely pulled back into reality?

    Let’s be honest, if we know we’re in a world with little to no consequence, and all the people around us will just respawn every day with no memory of what happened, we’re probably going to do some fucked up shit just because we wouldn’t get a chance in the real world. Could one retain their humanity living as a god in a fake world?

    Monster Hunter. They live in harmony with nature, no one ever really dies, and the food looks amazing.

    Elite Dangerous. Ultimate sandbox. If by living within the game I could have all the little extras that the developers never put in, I’d be set, and take off exploring.

      Sure but everything would be blocky and you would be stuck with villagers saying hmm all the time. Unless you decide to live alone with the lights always on so a creeper, enderman or zombie doesn’t get you.

      And after a couple of days you get a message that your PCU just ran out…

        Ah yes. I’d have to ask for uncapped PCU. Being part of the simulation, I’d not notice any lag as my consciousness would lag with it.
