I'm not certain if I'd be more fucked in Factorio, The Elder Scrolls, Terraria, or Stardew Valley. I'd be fucked either way though since I assume I'd be a rando off screen, and not the main character

Stardew you'd at least be fucked in the good way. I mean, just look at Mayor Louis and Marnie

It's pretty safe to be an NPC in thr Elder Scrolls as long as you aren't important or interesting and you're polite to adventurers.

I held off the dragons till I did everything else because I got so annoyed with them killing townspeople in Skyrim.

Morrowind taught me to take over some asshole dark elf's house in Seyda Neen, and powelevel all my skills to 100 before I left the first town so that a random cliff racer, or kwarma forager didn't take out me and any random NPC around me.

Oblivion, beeline to Anvil, buy the house, and again just max out all my skills. Mostly so that the random encounters didn't kill me. I don't remember having issues keeping NPCs alive in that one.

I'm entirely uncertain that any of us normal non magicka wielding randos would survive long in any of the most interesting times of mundus.

Assuming I can find Sam and Dean or stay the fuck away from Sam and Dean I would be safe.

Wheel of Time wouldn't be so terrible except that you lose 400 years of technological progress and you're completely screwed if you're a male and end up being a magic user.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Just stop channeling until they

spoilercleanse Saidin

But yea, without modern technology, I'd actually have to go outside? And talk to people? 😱

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, but... Might get a shot at Rosamund Pike.

I'm good. I mean, there's a hell portal right next to a certain town in the countryside, but even the demons of this world are more "asshole characters and weird animals" than actual-ACTUAL-demons. Plus they seem to have completely handled issues of poverty and such by taming all of nature with magic, even if they still use money and have jobs. Less 'socialism' and more 'post-scarcity society, but with magic instead of tech'.

.... I'm talking about Equestria from Gen 4 My Little Pony by the way.

....... Then again ponies are like SUUUUPER racist, so if I end up there as a human, I think I'd be experimented on.

I'm definitely dead the moment the Vogons destroy Earth to make room for a hyperspace bypass.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

You never know, you could turn out to be the most important person in the universe. Happened to me once, you know. Wouldn't recommend it.

I can’t wait to visit Starfleet Medical to get my back and stomach fixed, live in a post scarcity utiopia, see other worlds, and study whatever I want.

EDIT: I think the worst thing will be contemplating the metaphysics of transporters. But maybe I’ll just never take one.

Oh dude. I hadn't even considered SCP. At least you might meet Alan Wake. Never played the games, but I assume he's an interesting guy if he lives in that universe, and has survived multiple games.

It's nice to see how many of yall are quick with whatever your favorite fictional universe is..

I have never put much thought into one I'd deem as a favorite. I like a lot of games, shows, books, and such.. But I don't think I'd be able to pick just one.

There is one animated meme making the rounds now, posing the question on whether viewers would want a bucolic near-communist solarpunk future where everyone is happy and has their needs met, or a 40k future of massive mechs that can level entire cities on their own.

I say: why not both?

Crunchy outer shell of 40k that is just enough for a healthy defence of humanity, 90+% gooey solarpunk interior that gives everyone else a psychologically healthy and comfortable life.

I think I'd be pretty screwed. I'd most likely be living in some remote, forgotten village, trying to eke out enough of a living to pay the local lord for the privilege, while trying to avoid my home being raided by Aiel, or Seanchan, or Dragonsworn, or one of the other dozen armies roaming the countryside. Or maybe I'd be serving in one of those armies, fodder for the front lines, going up against enemies with no qualms about using the One Power for killing.

There's a tiny, remote chance that I could be studying in one of the schools in Cairhien or Caemlyn, trying to push technology out of the dark ages, which would be pretty cool. But that still comes with the risk of being a target of Darkfriends and the Forsaken, which is less cool.

I'll probably try to channel and then get chased down by a red ajah, then I lose channeling, get depressed, kms. the end

I love Cyberpunk 2077 but since I'm German I might be mostly okay

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

Everyone looks partially cartoony and keep talking about a vault.

And the damn neighbour has some weird mutant dog.

It is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth, and yet it may lift up your hearts.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cyberpunk 2077. But I don't have to wonder about it. Its happening already.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago

At least Cyberpunk got joy girls and working cybernetics. We get Gilead and cyber trucks that short out from a car wash.

Marvel.

Shit my insurance rates are going up.
