I love it! And I do see what you’re saying. I think the main difference is a man-made reality vs the reality we’re in now.

I am a simulation theorist though, so that sends my argument out the window!

I think it’ll be really interesting to see how VR, AR, and neural implants effect psychological states. I could definitely see VR induced psychosis being really rampant

Nope. This is a real physical manifestation of a simulated reality. Like actual organs shutting down when getting shot or stabbed in a simulated reality. The game’s fictional, but I could see something similar happening somewhere down the line.

Similar to psychosis for sure, but far more extreme (makes for a fun video game).

I get what you’re saying though, just a nuanced difference.

Had to tack on the “Bleeding effect” from assassins creed too. When the brain can’t tell the difference between simulated life and real life and starts to take a physical toll.

Making the same point here though. The tech’s just not there for weird mental illnesses like this

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. These are probably two of the most realistic reasons for living on a floating city!
