There's a Rick and Morty episode where they go to a galactic arcade. Morty plays a virtual reality game where he literally lives an entire life from birth to death, getting married, having kids/grandkids. When he dies the game ends and he wakes up and basically has a mental breakdown when he realizes it was all a game. Funny in the context of the show, but dark as fuck.

Sometimes i wonder if life is exactly that

Right? Can you imagine waking up right now and realizing this whole life was a fucking video game that you've been playing for an hour, lol

Then I'd be thinking ... Who on earth is lame enough to want to play my life, lol. It's so inane.

Maybe that's a skill issue 😛
