Last time I had one of those, it basically tasted like a pastry. By far the worst flavor of lunchable

Lol right? I bounced off ss2 a couple times because it was too scary for younger me. A few years later I got the itch to give it another go, but I had to downgrade my graphics drivers to get it to run on my system so I forced myself to finish it that time lol

I suppose it really depends on figuring out what consciousness really is.

If we’re talking about pure digital information then nothing is actually moved, it’s just copied and written to a new location. From the perspective of the new mind, continuity would be preserved and it would think it had simply changed places. The old mind (if it survives the scanning/transfer process) would still be outside the simulation and see a new copy of itself in there.

On the other hand, if consciousness is some kind of understandable phenomena, with even more sci-fi tech we might be able to simply scoop it out and put it somewhere else. In that case it would be the same person.

The demo had significan graphical problems, allegedly it was an older build of the game so hopefully it works at launch

The absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence.

But realistically, and specifically OPs scenario, it doesn’t matter because there’s literally nothing you can do about it except try to be better than you were yesterday.
