There is the theory that eventually we will be able to create a simulation that can perfectly mimic people's actions and thoughts. If we could create such an elaborate simulation, then it implies that the universe could be merely a simulation. If the universe is merely a game and we are merely npcs, then what do you think are its best feature, worst feature, and bugs?

If the universe is merely a simulation, then what would change? All of the issues we currently have would still exist. Nothing would be solved.
Even in the unlikelihood of it being proven, it would only lead to more questions. Questions that could not be answered as a result of reality being a simulation.
Even if we were puppets who could see our own strings, but not the force controlling those strings, it would not change the fact we are still puppets.
Missed the point of the exercise. The point is to list the best feature, worst feature, and bugs encountered while playing the MMO of Life.
Worst Feature: Herpes
Bugs: Lagging into the wall in the dark
Joined January 2009
Worst feature: People who can't and want to let everyone know
Bugs: When I try to talk sometimes, the game lags and reverts to my base language of gibberish
Milton Bradley would agree with that.
This game sucks.
Worst feature: the Death penalty is a way too harsh. its worse than EVE's.
Bugs. Human AI is broken. seriously some of the NPC's just do stupid things all the time.
system Lord Baal is dead
Lack of a respawn option* and save game.
Grindy and sometimes predictable.
R.I.P
Oh, sorry. Thought the topic was more about the theory over whether or not the universe is a simulation.
Best Features: Love, charity, generosity, and the graphics.
Worst Features: Other players.
Actually I just like sharing my opinion, but that's nice of you to say that I'm smart. You're very kind.

Sometimes the third-party mods are actually better than what the developer was able to come up with.
We're born, we live, we die, lights out...
It really dosen't matter, because once we are gone, we are gone and nothing changes because of it.
No problem. Discussing whether the universe is a simulation is too close to religious discussion. So the discussion could get nasty as most religious and political discussions usually get nasty.
RL is OP, plz nerf.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

'...I can tell you that we're not in the military and that we intend no harm to the whales.' Kirk: The Voyage Home
'Starfleet is not a military organisation. Its purpose is exploration.' Picard: Peak Performance
'This is clearly a military operation. Is that what we are now? Because I thought we were explorers!' Scotty: Into Darkness
'...The Federation. Starfleet. We're not a military agency.' Scotty: Beyond
'I'm not a soldier anymore. I'm an engineer.' Miles O'Brien: Empok Nor
'...Starfleet could use you... It's a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada...' Admiral Pike: Star Trek

Worst Feature: Other people have lots of freedom
Bug: Too much difference between starting zones. Someone starts off as part of a rich family with numerous options available to them while someone else starts off with a very poor family where they don't get fed some days and will most likely not even reach level 5.
that there is a pile of crock if ever i read such a thing.
we have no idea if we are just observers in a body, hearing the current thoughts of this person, feeling what he or she feels. humans like any other animal is a biological computer with its own designated functions with a life expectancy, maintenance tasks, and a task to do. when sometime hit it hard in the wrong place the computer switches off never to come back on again.
our thought processes are so primitive that we cant even consider the possibility that whatever we see through these eyes is just a simulation and when the body in this simulation dies we come back to our own body and mind outside the computer image as real as it may have looked and felt. how would we know?
then there is the religious question, do people who believe in dieties and rules in a book reject the idea of heaven or hell, for the more surreal idea we are not really dead, just observers?
anyways, for me the biggest bug i have had for the past 2 decades and a alf is nothing but rotten luck, i think the prediction calculator is wrong and has been for years.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
That's not Life; that's Monopoly. :P
No respec either. Also it has this faction called "Police" that tends to frown upon PvP that doesn't involve them (though some of us actually consider that a positive feature).
On the plus side, at least you don't have to "refine" your currency before using it, much less have limits on how much you can refine per day.
