If Life is a game, then dreaming is taking a break and going to eat, or take a leak, or go to bed.

Games are, in essence, things we use to get away from life.

How could Life be a game?

Because life could not be the ultimate life. There is a life outside this life, and this life is only a simulation in the outer life.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

Those with the highest scores are cheaters?

I mean, check out how things go these days. For example: Love, along with life being a game, makes my observation rather accurate.

Plus, those who score high also have plenty of cash to pull it off.

Oh, right, the winners are the cheaters ::) I'd say that using magic is cheating. You know, voodoo, witchcraft, that sort of thing. Burn the cheaters!

Y'know. I was wondering how much FPS we are running at. I thought it was a lot, at first, then I remembered days are 24 hours. :-\

Well your eyes see at about 80 frames per second. As a rule FPS must be higher than GFPS.

Well now I feel like I'm walking into a trap, but why is that?

United States' standard frequency is 60 Hz.
Europe's standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Inside details.

Wouldn't life be theoretically infinite FPS though? Because you can wait the smallest miniscule moment and if you inspect the universe with some sort of Heisenberg-flipping-off-device, you would see that atoms have also moved a tiny miniscule amount.
But if it is a game, I'd say it's very high FPS, too high for us to see, thereby creating the illusion of infinite FPS.

From our perspective, our FPS would be infinite, as our only frame of reference would be thing in our physical proximity.
