I personally don’t think life is a simulation but if it was, there’s a few things to consider

1. You have a conscious ego. It’s not like some other person is controlling your character, so you are sentient

2. This implies that even if this is a simulation, your consciousness in the simulation would be a product of something outside that simulation. The obvious example is the person outside the matrix plugged into the matrix

3. And just like the matrix movie, there is a decent chance that decisions made in the simulation affect the source outside the simulation in some way, so in that regard they do matter

If it’s all a simulation, and once it ends you are assigned a score based on your decisions, and that score somehow mattered for all eternity and couldn’t be changed, then the simulation would be like an allegory to the life before afterlife
