Assuming that the game can't actually kill you? Probably some mundane simulation of 1997 ish. Give me enough in-universe currency and fast travel.

Lots to do.

    Partly nostalgia. Partly the political situation (as @VonReposti says). Partly the climate being more stable. By the year 3000 I'll probably be wanting to re-experience the world before ecological poverty.

    Partly just thinking, that if I'm going to be stuck somewhere with enough to keep me entertained for a good long while, the real world is a pretty good place. Access to all the books, video games, movies, TV, and anime I could possibly want. :)

    The way I see it: After the cold war, before the war on terrorism, Trump, Russia's 21st century wars, although after eternal September the internet didn't have wide adoption yet (at least not in Europe), Trump, Brexit, Covid, DMCA, Trump, enshittification wasn't part of every product released yet. Oh, and Trump.

    And I wasn't old enough to have a care in the world in '97 but unlikely rbos had that as a reason.
