Maybe the frame rate is slowing down already. We'd never know.

That happened in Permutation City. The simulation could stop intermittently or go extremely slow and no one inside could notice.

We wouldn't even know if He had to turn it off and back on again a couple times.

That happens nightly unless a user is still running which causes the next day to run all slow and laggy

That's a pivotal plot point of Dark City

I remember watching that in highschool, probably influenced me than I know

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Same. I watched it all the time

I'm fairly certain that would be impossible to have all users logged off at the same time

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No need, you just allocate users to servers depending on theie average sleep/wake cycle nd bounce the servers one at a time, when usage is at a minimum. Ever had one if those late night brain's gone blank moments? Now you know.

Are you trying to deport me???

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Believe it or not...straight to jail.

I've just spotted your username, I feel sure one of your relations had some sort of run in with the sysops already, and now you're trying to convince people that there can't be server reboots? Suspicious. Very suspicious.

I swear to Oracle that if you make my mouth disappear I will put you on a bus with a speed sensitive explosive

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Hmm. /me Makes you disappear entirely except for your mouth.

Promptly get stuck in a boobytrapped express elevator.

Ok, fair enough.

Just pause time itself. There, everyone is sleeping.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

As someone who seems to have a 36 hour circadian rhythm, my life would be dramatically better if I could pause time to sleep when needed, actually been a dream of mine for about 25 years

I can already feel the GPU getting warmer and warmer...
