??? We might not exist at all. We could all be the fevered fantasy of a unicorn named Brian. Then, suffering is not an issue & the whole problem goes away.

In what sense? Only to Brian. I am currently imagining poking you with a cattle prod. Was your suffering real? *does it again*

OK, suppose we are actually part of a computer simulation, and reality was not what we thought it was. As long as we have sentience, our suffering is real, no matter how confused we are about the external reality.

OK but if we're made up by unicorn named Brian, it's fairly unlikely we have sentience. I get it tho. *pokes you with cattle prod again anyway*
