The Last game I played was Splatoon 3. It really depends on a few things, Am I an Inkling/Octoling? Do I speak the language? Where am I? In Splatoon lore all humans died in mass floods, so if I was still human I would probably be studied. Also, if I'm in the middle of the ocean I would be screwed either way. Assuming that I am in a major city or at least near civilization, and I am an Inkling/Octoling, and I speak the language, I would be fine. As for what I would do, I would sign up to work at Grizco, and once I have enough money buy a gun and participate in turf wars to gain money, eventually buying an appartment.

Stardew Valley.

You know what? I’m okay with this. Sign me up, I accept.

Samsies and samsies. Mortgage free farm in a quiet town with a evil corporation to screw over? Hell yeah.

Euro Truck Simulator 2, so all things considered, pretty chill

Happily married, with a brand new baby, living in a large house, on a well established farm, with financial security and steady income, plus a small fortune in extremely valuable wine aging in the basement, near a friendly town with lots of festivities, where no matter how badly I screw up someone will find me and bail me out so that I can get home or see a doctor.

Similarly, my egg farm has just hatched it's 10 billionth chicken that lays dark matter eggs whilst living in their own micro universe, my bank account is sitting somewhere in the vicinity of 80+ zeroes after the number, and I regularly send ships to space to hunt for artifacts.

I suppose I get to shoot down rogue drones while relaxing in an egg based utopia. I might have to deal with time cops at some point for using spliced timelines to make sure each egg is the highest possible quality, across all timelines that chicken exists in.

Sometimes you roll the Katamari, and sometimes the Katamari rolls you.

Fallout London. It'd be an intense half an hour trying to open inaccessible doors before I'd crash back to safety.

Minecraft Survival? Well, I wasn't playing on hardcore, so I guess I'd be alright.

Or, hmm, on my phone, Pikmin Bloom. A vast army of adorable minions to accompany me as we wander around Chicago in search of public art; not so bad.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No Man's Sky. Pretty sweet deal, I think.

I'd just start mining random stuff to put together to make better mining gear to mine better and more stuff.

Then just get on my dinghy and explore the 'verse while looking out for a better dinghy. Maybe plop down a few bases on nice planets, rinse and repeat.

Baldur's Gate 3, I probably would be praising The Absolute.

I would be dead within 7 days. Quite apt as the game is 7 days to die.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Valheim. My homestead is beautiful and densely forested. I'm well equipped and have provisions for days. I'm good.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

City of Heroes (20 year old game). As an NPC, I would be screwed, as a player character, it would be pretty sweet at for the first few days before the lack meaningful interactions and the constant "work" started to get to me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

The game that almost ruined my marriage, lol.

Those 8 hour task force runs aren't going to run themselves, honey!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Wow. Haven't played that since college.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd be a Starfleet Fleet Admiral in 2410, with a bunch of very OP starships under my command, so that would be pretty damn sweet!

Subnautica - I would be dead in minutes since I can't actually swim all that well in real life.

Deep Rock Galactic. It would be terrifying, but with some upsides.

"It ain't a gun unless it weighs at least one hundred pounds!"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Did I hear a rock and stone?

At least you'll always have supportive comrades!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Deep Rock Galactic Galaxy's Finest!

I'm a greybeard with a crack crew but they get wreckless sometimes, and mining on Hoxxes is intrinsically dangerous. We don't always make it back.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Factorio, I'd probably survive and build a bunch of stuff. Oh, and try not to get eaten.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Pokemon Go. I would be running from Pokemon I guess. Not too bad as for now I do have some resources, and the map is pretty good so everything would be where it is now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Helldivers2 vs bots on lv10... dead in seconds. pretty screwed.

Pokemon Emerald? So long as I'm not the protag, life is generally OK. Aside from Team Aqua/Magma and the whole "causing disasters to expand the sea/land", I should be OK.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Animal Crossing New Leaf. I'd be ecstatic.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Modded Minecraft. It's going to depend entirely on whether I can still search the various wikis.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

There are 100% Minecraft modders who would figure out how to escape using some unfathomable redstone contraption.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Kerbal Space Program. So everything might be fine, or I might hit a mountain at mach 12, or I might be stuck on Moho forever hoping Matt Lowne joins Lemmy and can send the Blunderbirds to get me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

AC Odyssey. I guess I'm Greek now

Ghost of Tsushima

I dont know shit about how to fight so unless I woke up as Jin with the fighting experience I'd be fucked

Bloons TD 6.

I guess I have to contribute to popping bloons... somehow??? Idk.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

FFXIV.

Would I be the Warrior of Light or some random scrub? Random scrub that world has godlike beings that just absolutely dominate your will just by existing, plus just massive monsters, and some terrifying organizations.

WoL, hooboy all the moments the story made me be quiet.

Another question is do I go as myself, or can I be a catgirl?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Balatro. I think I'm okay? I don't even know what that would mean.

Metro 2033... as long as I'm underground and out of harm's way, I think I'll be able to survive

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Ace Attorney (nostalgia). I'm not weird enough to be a witness, the perp, or the wrongfully accused. If I was the victim I'd obviously be screwed. If I was a defence attorney my clients would be screwed. If I was a judge everyone but me would be screwed. Payne seems to make an ok living as a prosecutor although he sucks at it, I could do that. Or I'd just be one of those weirdoes cheering in the gallery, or an unremarkable resident of Japanifornia, which would both be fine.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Helldivers 2, I am FUCKED. Unless I was on a Super Destroyer on my way to Super Earth

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Majora's Mask. I'm dead in 3 days.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Sudoku?

(I’m an old)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Phantasy Star Online? I'd be in great shape! I could essentially play that game indefinitely.

I'd be popping balloons like any good monkey should

I'm playing Scorn right now. Fuuuuuuuuck thaaaaaat

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Tears of the Kingdom. Not bad at all, as long as I stay in places populated by the more friendly creatures. The worst thing about being stuck there is the choice between living in Tarrey Town, Hateno, or Kakariko. I could live a pretty comfortable life growing swift carrots or fortified pumpkins.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I'd opt for Tarrey Town because I live near a place called Tarrey Town IRL and am sentimental like that, plus getting to build my own place instead of hoping I just became link and can take his and Zelda's house in Hateno.

Guild Wars 2. It's not so bad. Just hang out in one of the cities. Learn some magic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I played Outer Wilds, so I'd be pretty cozy, for about 20 minutes.

Football Manager. I would be fired, but everything else would stay the same.
