If we live in a simulation, could there be "cheat codes" to reality? -

[Iwasamwillbe]

Even the earliest video games had "good bad bugs", cheat codes, and "cheating devices" that allowed people to breeze their way through them. Even now, we still have those, with the added tool of modding software to change video games in any way we want.

If the universe is just a simulation, could there be something analogous to "good bad bugs", cheat codes, "cheating devices", and modding software for it?

 

[Irwin M. Felcher]

You mean magic?

 

[UselessIdiot]

I doubt we live in a simulation anyway. Everything would need to be simulated down the the photon-level, and there's most likely limitations to computing also.

Some people think that since simulations exist, that we're likely a simulation too. I think it's unlikely though.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

Assuming we live in a simulation, yes, but they're randomly generated and bound to each agent.

 

[Clintonberg]

Cheat codes? Yeah, it's called being a cis white male.

 

[Yuuichirou Kumada]

We all know the best and biggest cheat code to win at life is money.
Now, if there is a cheat code to acquire money, it's another story. One that is surely of mutual interest.

 

[SSF2T Old User]

I know what cheat code I'd be using all the time: ↑, ↑, ↓, ↓, ←, →, ←, →, B, A, Select, Start.

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

Yes, Neo, you are The One.

 

[Smug Chuckler]

The NPCs' AI in this game is dumb.

 

[Inventor of the Telephone]

I know what cheat code I'd be using all the time: ↑, ↑, ↓, ↓, ←, →, ←, →, B, A, Select, Start.

Every time I do that one my ship explodes.

[Thumb Butler]

Of course there is, it's called money. Enough money can buy and fix most things.

If there is, the Somalians keep putting on big head mode for the yucks.

 

[saisegeha]

it's called being jewish

 

[Tim Buckley]

Yes, quantum science exists but it's gatekeeped by skill, discipline and a life-time of dedication so you're better off masturbating and watching cartoons.

 

[Trappin in the Trap]

Let's assume that there are cheat codes for a second.
Now that we've assumed that, let's settle back into reality and realize that we can never be able to exploit them.

 

[Boris Blank's glass eye]

Troon out.
Convert to Judaism, or better yet, Islam.
Learn Esperanto.
Get addicted to hallucinogens.
Download RAID: Shadow Legends and AFK Arena.

Tell me if any of them works out for you. I'll be waiting with bated breath.

 

[The Last Stand]

Give me a cheat code to have a wealthy, White woman.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Easy cheat code, take a gun put it in your mouth and pull the trigger. You will instantly be teleported to the final level.

Too many updates have screwed up the code system.
