[Hot thoughts] Why is the life re-opening simulator suddenly popular?

Original Link

Throw a link of life to restart the simulator: click me

A few days ago, when I opened the group chat, it was basically a screenshot of this thing (if you don't know, you can click the link to the original text of this text to see it). Now the new tricks have become secondary creations filled in with various contents.

This reminds me of a game called Funny Life a long time ago, which is also a similar paradigm, but the difference is: you are constantly choosing, you have a choice, and you will know the consequences of your choice later.

And this choice is only in the initial talent and attribute allocation

Once the game starts, your destiny seems to be doomed, we have no choice for a long time, every mouse click is a year, you click one by one, but you are unable to change, watching "self" gradually die.

The reason this thing is on fire is very simple:

• It sews a lot of things into it, some are meme, some are absurd reality - why people are obsessed with it?

Perhaps because it provides two handles:

A random life that puts itself in a false other, sinks because of misrecognition - because we experience a different life, albeit false and cheap

The other pulls himself out of the fiction, thinks he's aware of the sobriety of the moment, and leans over reality

• It is a web page itself, and the operation method and communication can already be smashed. "You need to go somewhere to download the installation package to install and then register an account" for several streets, not one dimension. When you click this link, you don't even think you're playing a game, but something like a "personality test" - "I'll see how my results differ from what my friends sent me. ” - and the final presentation of a bunch of things stitched into its content is so in tune with the way “screenshots” are spread - it’s out of the loop
• secondary creation. Various magic modification operations and versions, as well as those screenshots that were constructed out of thin air to sew another batch of circles or cultural stalks, injected fresh blood into them - they turned into stalk maps, or another new stalk . Start spreading like crazy.

Last bit of chatter

Those who have a little nihilistic view of life can sigh at this: "real" life is also like this, powerless and knowing but powerless to fall - leaving a summary that may be absurd or ordinary, but the final summary that is quantified as a value finally reveals The essence of the game - when it's over, your life stops working** your symbol system doesn't turn anymore, there's no big other thing that calculates value for you after you die, and there's no remake left. The room can even bring the last talent.

It's just that, we're all desperate
