So being asleep is basically a:

Some of us have Coffee Lake hexacores to keep us awake, though for now I'm on an old Xeon quad for the big stuff.
Posting from a cheap(ish) i7 ultrabook now though, that's just work.
Also, nitey nite.

I knew it! I am one of the chosen ones! Why else would they devote so much extra processing power to simulating the world for me during my insomniac wakefulness?!
Oh, hang on a minute. My simulation usually only requires the modelling of a single room and fake "posts" from simulated internet addicts. Maybe that's why the simulation of the outside world seems crappy so often; to encourage me to stick with my hermit lifestyle that requires so much less rendering power.

I think you have to work on the inside first.

Yes, I'm just like the toy bunny that Duracell used to advertise their batteries with! Mindlessly stepping forward banging my little drum, hoping that I don't fall off the edge of the table or walking into a wall because that was just the direction I happened to be pointing in when the batteries were put in! When I can't sleep at night, I wish they'd just put in cheapo knock-off batteries from the pound shop!

Is it 2.5D too like Doom?
I've noticed that some people look 2D and I never find myself on two different floors at the same time lol

I routinely find 'matrix glitches', honestly I probably am one.
I think we're somewhere between near-infinite voxel depth & fabric-simulation rendering everything, of course, different techniques apply better to different 'materials'. 
I kid, I kid, everything is probably real but we're also blurring the entire distinction between reality & what we can simulate.
