with only 10 quintillion essential bugs

Something weird happened with the platypus but he wasn't about to start over

We'd also be entirely unaware of reboots. Our reality would just resume from the last save point and we'd just move on like nothing happened.

I thought you were at TI right now.

We'd be like villagers in a single-player Minecraft world. When Steve leaves the game, we freeze in mid-clock tick, and when Steve returns, we are back too, not even aware of the event.

It's 0.666× time scaling max, and 0.0625 min.

One second in the simulation occurs roughly every 16 "real seconds" if on a direct pipe in a closed instance with a superuser.

There's a time warp/stretching factor which slows down or speeds up the time simulation, allowing for extremely complex physics calculations to occur in what appears like real time, it's all lerped to synchronize with unitary clock, so even a 16 Hz explosion looks like 480 Hz.

To avoid crashing, light-speed has been capped just below the engine maximum of 300,000,000 m/s² at

c_max=0.999

At the local level, yes - but I figured that was poor Earth drivers caused by spotty documentation and bitrot. At the cosmic level, it seems to run pretty clean. Uptime of a couple billion years cannot be beat, but I do wonder how they encode timestamps
