    Yes, if the Wormverse was our reality sure I could get what you’re saying even if the practical and inevitable conclusion is, “So what?” We run into the exact same problem in our reality with the Brain-In-a-Jar, Solipsism, Just-a-Dream and a dozen other theories but they have no practical use...

    Dude read that sentence you just wrote again. Even ignoring the fact that some would say that the simulated people aren’t real, just like how the AI chess player you play isn’t, what you said doesn’t make a goddamn lick of sense. If this reality is to you, what the shard sim is to the simulated...

    Look, I’m not arguing if the simulated you has some claim to your identity or personhood or not. The reason you never have to wonder if you are in a Shard sim is because that Shard sim is exactly like running a computer simulation, if infinitely more complex and accurate. Coil can run as many...

    Sure, I understand how convoluted and probably almost intentionally confusing his power is, but thats how it’s described. The “sleepwalking” thing is something I didn’t even figure but its what it said on the wiki so ‍I just try to work it into the rest in the way it makes most sense. To be...

    No, once Coil’s power has chosen one of the two timelines, it “sleepwalks” him through the choices of that simulated timeline. The sleepwalking isn’t about the quality or accuracy of the simulation. It’s basically the shard hijacking Coil so he doesn’t fuck up and stays faithful to his chosen...

    Sure yeah you need to keep in mind he’s a flippin’ precog and that gives him terrifying information gathering capabilities. What gets stuck in my craw is when people treat his power as if he was actually creating two concurrent timelines, which would let him do insane shit like “swap” timelines...

    The point is you never need to wonder whether you’re a simulation. The simulation is strictly in Coil’s head, if you decide to go after him yeah it will show up in the simulation but since that simulation is a simulation, he can’t just unkill himself by “choosing a different timeline.” In simple...

    I would argue the shard is accurate to a point (an honestly insane point, but a point). Just like the Entities precognition wasn’t 100% accurate or they wouldn’t have died. The simulated you acts how the shard thinks you would act with the information it has at hand. Given that includes a...
