there's lots of physics that cannot be described in algorithmic terms, and (as best I misunderstand it) quantum is the most that

QM is entirely algorithmic, it just operates on values that are of type "Probability Distribution"

Are you implying that's wrong or you just don't know

i'm just kinda skeptical of suggesting we live in a computer simulation

tens of thousands of years ago, people looked up into the night sky or a raging tempest and projected human-like traits onto it.

Now instead of seeing an angry father figure in the stars, we're surrounded by computers so we look up (or down, in quantum cases), and see a desktop environment. It's... awful convenient.
