RE: The main reason to believe we are living in a simulation

I say characters because it is impossible to know if the other players are conscious at all or just figments of the game to interact with

Exactly, when reading about the simulation theory and discovering this realization is was mind boggling to me.

No code is complete so loopholes may be available, holes exploitable

True, but the civilization that creates the simulation is much more advanced, so it will be worst than having babies looking for errors in professional coding.

it doesn't have any future to it, there is nowhere to get, no end, no purpose, no heaven, hell or, worm or dragon to shoot for

If the simulation theory is right, then actually there is somewhere to get. The "mother" reality or whatever we want to call the place in which our reality was born. The creators would be able to recreate any individual (its mind) in their reality if they wanted to.

Since we like to simulate all sort of things about our society, it is very likely that if we could simulate our civilization, we will go for it. The only thing missing is computational power for now, but other civilizations could very well have that power and have simulations on their own.

Would you like our reality to be a simulation @tarazkp?

Okay, maybe not holes but, parts of the code that can be exploited over other characters in the simulation not looking for them.

There is an assumption this is possible. Perhaps we are air-gapped. Although, there is always a chance for us to advance well enough to convince the simulators to release us... Like any AI worth a grain of salt ;)

For me, it doesn't change much and like I have said before, it is similar to my god/no god view. Do my best while looking to do better. Live a life that ends well, live a life that continues well. The actions of my life don't change much. If you look at the entire process of the universe, it is essentially a simulation whether directed or not. Nature doesn't know what is coming so it developed diversification of resources to increase chances of continuance even though it has no awareness of what that would be as it lives completely in the moment, always.
