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

    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.

    Pokemon seems awful

    Ever present terrorism, most towns don’t have food

    Animal attacks are more common and dangerous

      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.

      These terrorist organizations are at least nice enough to let you attempt to capture a relatively weak pikachu for over a decade. My boss gets mad if I go over my 15 minute coffee break.

        Not up to date on pokemon lore by a longshot but iirc Jessey and James are actually just nice people who really like pokemon and do their jobs badly on purpose.

      The anime version seemed pretty nice. I actually got pretty depressed for a few days when I was a kid and realized I would never live in that world.

    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.

    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

          Oh absolutely! I’ve logged a few too many hours in Derail Valley. It’s very fun for when I just want to hop on and drive some trains, although it doesn’t really scratch the “I want to play with trains from $SpecificLocale during $SpecificTimeframe” Itch that simulators like Trainz do, where you can for example drive a Metra commuter train from Harvard into Chicago, or jump to Germany and drive the ICE or switch freight wagons in post-grouping Britain, or drive local freights through rural Australia

      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.

          Yeah something like the Oblivion Crisis would be tough on the commoners. But if I could just chill in Vivec City or even Whiterun for most of history it’s pretty safe.

      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.

        I haven’t played the games either, tbh I didn’t even know there were games.

        I’ve been reading SCP’s for probably over 15 years now though, with varying levels of obsession with it during that time. There is so much lore and interconnectedness now, seeing it grow from just a few stories was incredible.

            I mean, that explicitly didn’t end up happening though, that reality got reset. The chilling part is the implication that that’s a very bad thing.

                We’re talking about SCP-5000 Absolute Exclusion Harness right? That’s the main famous SCP where the foundation starts trying to exterminate humanity. But yeah, it’s all told through digital archives onboard a wearable device that renders the wearer completely safe from basically reality as a whole that just appeared and tells of a chilling alternate reality where the foundation starts exterminating mankind and it is implied that the wearer ends up using the suit to survive and then “reset reality” using some other SCPs and that reset reality where that all never happened is the reality the rest of the SCP Foundation we know exists. The Harness is the only thing left as it is shielded fully from basically anything.

          Check out Alan Wake, Alan Wake II, and Control, all by Remedy Entertainment. They’re not directly SCP, but they’re adjacent/parallel to it.

    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.
