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.

My own meme and it applies here.

Oh... Can I change my answer? I wanna be in Star Trek, too.

Factorio.

I'm fucked, because I'm also terrible at optimizing my factory

[–] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Nah its cool factorio guy doesn't HAVE to leave.

No pollution, no biters.

Very doable.

Just find an island, 100 stone for 2 landfill, and get to the island by picking up a landfill behind you and placing it in front of you.

You have eternity, so take trips off your island to mine things by hand, craft things by hand, etc.

Eternity awaits.

You're a ring on a chain around the neck of a Hobbit.

Dark Souls/Elden Ring

It's not like I can die so it's not that bad. It's worse.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Elden Ring is the world that is entirely devoid of hope, where many golden eras are all long past like millennia ago. There maybe another golden era coming, but it could just be a gilded age.

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 30 points 2 weeks ago

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

Star Trek? Hell yeah. The Borg might be a small problem and the Klingon, but no cooking, no cleaning, no need for money.

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I consider the Borg to be a goal, not a problem.

My favorite fictional universe is Star Trek, but right now I'm really into The Expanse and that's probably more interesting.

I am a trekie too. I only hope to not get reincarnated on one of the planets that got razed to the ground for backgroundstory.
Additionally it could be devastating for the federation if one trekkie gets assimilated by borg

Elder Scrolls... So here's hoping I land somewhere in Cyrodiil with a long gap in between major catastrophic events.

Pokemon seems awful

Ever present terrorism, most towns don’t have food

Animal attacks are more common and dangerous

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

If you take them at face value and not as a gamified abstraction, sure. "Pallet Town" having three buildings is unlivable but it isn't shown that way in non-game media.

The organized crime is rough but that usually gets sorted out by a child at some point so just keep your head down.

Brandon Sanderson's cosmere. Kinda even chances between being instantly killed, enslaved, selling my soul to make a living or being stuck in the same office job I already have, but this time I'm Magneto.

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.

You mean I get to love on the Discworld on the backs of 4 giant elephants on the back of a cosmic turtle?

HELL YEAH!

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Adventure Time so basically the plot of the Fionna and Cake series (which I highly recommend)

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

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 9 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

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

Yeah, not sure, Pokemon fans would be as excited, once they're there. They could have basically their universe, if they just organize a dogfighting league and they don't do that.

...I hope.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Dogfighting of sentient beings. Some of which have the capacity for human speech. All of which show clear signs of experiencing pain. Some of which can have full conversation with you and speak intelligently. Yeah, that's who you're sending in for your personal blood sports. Pocket Monsters indeed. Not the creatures. You, the "trainer".

Pokemon fans can go to dog fighting to understand why they might not be as happy as they think. Also imagine that some of the dogs can electrocute, burn and drown other dogs. Also, sometimes they put a chihuahua against a great dane.

Safest bet is to be a child in Skyrim.

Not sure if there's any mods left on the main sites to make them killable.

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 don't think I have a favorite universe - especially not if I get to live as a regular person. I think I'd pick Elder Scrolls
