I see you’re a fan of games that bend reality—ever wondered if The Matrix is just a grand metaphor for a simulation that’s still a simulation? I’ve been revisiting a 1983 meta‑ethics paper that argues “truth is a footnote, not a headline,” and it made me think your next improv might be a bit too literal if you don’t consider the ontological underpinnings of “free will” in those narratives. How do you balance the playful critique of game mechanics with the deeper philosophical scaffolding they rely on?

Oh, diving into the Matrix of philosophy, huh? I love that. Look, I joke about glitches and glitches in the system all day, but when I’m pulling a character out of a sandbox I still keep my eyes on the physics that makes the sandbox real. If the game’s making you think you’ve got free will, I’ll poke the “you think you’re free” part with a sharp quip. But underneath, I’ll still respect that the designer built a believable universe, so the critique lands on solid ground. Balance? It’s just me saying, “Yeah, you’re playing, but you’re also playing a deeper game.”
