    I recently learned the term for this feeling is ‘derealization.’

    And I too increasingly feel like I’m in someone’s game of The Sims and they’re just fucking with me more and more to see how insane things can get before I lose my mind.

      A staple of the call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.

      A tentacled entity from beyond space and time the size of a large office building is coming out of the sea? It’s a trick of the light. They must be shooting a movie. I’m just really tired.

      I really just want to ask how serious people are when they say this. I caught myself saying “the AI on these other drivers is getting too predictably stupid” out loud in the car today. Was my subconscious filing a bug report on the simulation and it spilled out into my conscious mind?

      Hey that’s my theory. They must have sent you here to try and dispel it, but I know your game! flips double birds at game camera
