Also worth considering that simulating the universe for billions of years could run on the equivalent of a raspberry pi in some higher order universe. It just seems huge to us because we are living in it

Another thing to consider might be that the simulation has not been running for “billions for years” but might have just started.

And the simulator may have been done with simulating it all in a blink of an eye. Our perception of time is completely irrelevant.
