Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Chances are that we're not in a simulation, but you're right that for our universe to be simulated, the host universe would need fundamentally different physics.
Even then, I feel like you're underestimating the scale of the universe. Dwarf Fortress is laughably simple compared to a real universe. It's a toy. You'd need something more than a couple extra dimensions for our universe to be at all comparable to that.
To be completely honest, dwarf fortress is way more complex then tic-tac-toe.
Compared to a universe, they're equally complex.
Tic tac toe is on the order of 10^2 bytes.
The Dwarf Fortress install is 10^8.
The number of particles in our universe? 10^80
