Obviously I think all of this is bullshit

If we are in a simulation and we're all uploaded players of consciousness, wouldn't it make sense that the source has a database of said conscious players, from the past or however many simulations there have been? Maybe it just reboots after some sort of global cataclysmic event, which is also programmed and restarts.

As far as the pain goes, the brain makes the pain real. What is pain? A sensation measured and registered by your nervous "system" that sends "messages" via neurotransmitters to your brain (computer) that "determines" a fight or flight response. Depending on the person or "player", you've got different levels of pain tolerances.
