What if you're playing a game and someone pulls the chair from under you?
Do you remain in the game, unresponsive?
Do you prove that you were indeed on the chair all the time?
Or do you get forcefully pulled out from the game to the floor?
What if you play a game at a LAN party while chatting with others in the same room?
What if you put the loudspeaker on in the LAN room to order a pizza? What will you answer to the question of "where are you?"?
I think the answer is closer to "you're in all of those places, to differing extents, depending on who asks". Yes, it feels useless, but attempting to figure out one ultimate answer feels even more useless to me.

Right, here is Daniel Dennet's answer, from the story: "For as the last radio signal between Tulsa and Houston died away, had I not changed location from Tulsa to Houston at the speed of light? And had I not accomplished this without any increase in mass? What moved from A to B at such speed was surely myself, or at any rate my soul or mind — the massless center of my being and home of my consciousness."
