Shove Zoozo's spare hat on his head so he can't see where he is when he dies. Maybe gag him as well?

That still tells him that his current plan failed and he needs to do something else.

I like the idea of tricking him into thinking he's in a simulation so he kills himself trying to send a message, although it's easier said than done.

That's a very bold ontological statement to make. They're as real as we are.
Look, we can all agree that teleporters (which work by creating a perfect duplicate of the target at the destination and then destroying the original) are perfectly ethical. Clearly, this means that destroying someone is okay as long as there's a good enough duplicate running around. So, by extension, we can conclude that using the scepter is fine, because the universe that gets created and destroyed is basically just a copy of this one with less astronomy. No ethical quandaries here.

This also means that ordering a sim into the pool and then deleting the ladder is okay, but only if you modeled the sim on someone you know. Ethics is complicated sometimes.

... a perfect simulation where an unfeeling audrey and unfeeling lyndon, along with an emotionless rest of the world, all act identically to if they had real emotions, even though they dont. their feelings are only the result of predicted atomic movements in their brains

Dang. I’m glad my emotions are real and not just the result of atoms moving in my brain.

Yeti Robot Zombies was forgettable (literally, in that I beat it years ago but cannot remember anything about it) but Adventurer’s Consumer Guide is great.

It’s a text adventure about needing to test out some new adventuring tools for the magazine you write for, all of which technically work as advertised. Things play out about how you’d expect given Thorsby is the writer. It has a great sense of humor and the puzzles are very fair and well made. Definitely give it a look if you like Thorsby’s work.
