Ask Lemmy

Cities: Skylines - no problem, it's a great place to live! ... As long as your house is near an evacuation shelter, on account of all the tornados and stuff.

Animal Crossing here I come.

Just beat Tears of the Kingdom. Great game. I feel like for a country embroiled in a magical apocalypse most places are super comfy and safe to live in. 20 mil? Easy money.

No, I am not participating in Mortal Kombat.

One way ticket? It's gotta be Pokemon. It's the isekai holy grail. Living there would be way better than any of the shitty games, imagine just the travel lifestyle alone. Food and healthcare are free and plentiful. You can make easy luxury money having your favorite critter beat the brakes off of some snot-nosed kid's rat.

Hell no, I played MyHouse.wad last. I would either die a horrible death and go mad in an inescapable empty hospital or I would just go mad from the rest of the game. I wouldn't even be able to trust the world when I got back.

Before that I played Detroit: Become Human. That one seems survivable to me. I'd just go about my day and be nice to everyone I meet.

Absolutely. I was playing Cities: Skylines.

I would spend that year driving around in my doughnut truck, working at Dino Oil or Healthy Weeds, enjoy my weekends at the parking lot or the bouncy castle, and run to high ground during the next tsunami.

After winning the cash I'd ask to be transported to the Ark universe, and then I'd spend the rest of my life in a glass mansion, training armies of dinosaurs to do my bidding.
JK, I'd probably spend the rest of my very short life running naked from a dilophosaur while screaming. Still more fun than reality.

I built a really nice city in Cities Skylines. I'd just be chilling.

Factorio.

THE FACTORY MUST GROW.

The last game I played was Pokémon Go. I’d survive…it’d be boring as hell but I’d survive, if Niantic survives haha that layoff was a bit scary for PoGo

Technically it was Pokemon as my 4 year old is now stuck because the last stage of the new open world game has actual story line to follow and he can't read. Was able to catch a hundred Pokemon, beat all gyms all by basically button mashing om which attack to do.

So yeah I'll take $20M as humans dont die in Pokemon.

No to MK. Game is rigged as everyone else has superpowers.

And the bonus bonus is a no go not because of not seeing anyone but because then I'd have money in that game world and that isn't very useful.

I probably won’t, the last video game I played was Minecraft, I can’t imagine myself surviving such harsh environment.

Star Citizen, I'd be lucky to surive a day without glitching into space and dying

Diablo 4 - hell no.

Mortal Kombat - HELL NO

Leisure Suit Larry - hell yes 😈

A drunken wizard offers you $20 million if you let him send you to the world of the last video game you played

A year in an advanced human democratic Utopia prior to first contact with hostile aliens? I think I could manage that :)

(Stellaris)

Ok, I think i could survive being opressed by a tempermental child king who resets everything when he doesnt get his way for a year... unless that also resets the timer, i which case it's groundhog's day forever for me. Gimme the 20 mil, funny magic man.

Project zomboid. Not a chance.

Warhammer Total war 2.

I'm not accepting.

Maybe if it was medieval total war I could get hired on as an assistant to someone, but total war has gone much more total war since then.

Mortal Kombat, not unless we allow corner trapping like in the 90s.

Euro Truck Simulator 2. ez clap.

I tell him that I am currently in a simulation and thus it must be the last game I played.

If I get a fat check that means this is all a simulation ;)

While being in Dark Souls 2 may sound bad, you technically can't die if you're branded with the darksign. So as long as I kept my sanity for a year, I'd be in the clear.

I played Minecraft in peaceful mode, so, yeah, that sounds like a nice year long vacation actually.

Hard pass on the mortal kombat, but I might take the third offer if I could be functionally immortal and the world was expansive enough.

War Thunder. If I don't have to go to battle, but just stay in the hangar it would be a easy twenty Mil. If I have to go into the warzone I'm fucked. For Mortal Combat, No. I would against the first guy running into my way. I will accept the bonus on my death bed.

A. Heck yes the game is called Garden Paws and you can't die and get to tame adorable kitties and bunnies, pick flowers, etc. It's going to be a nice vacation. B. No way, I'll take the $20 million vacation. C. I'm still going with the first option.

I'm about to have the best year of my life living in Pelican Town

Nah, I'm good! Seeing how random peasants seem to fare in the world of Diablo IV, I think I'm pretty likely to get stomped on by a big old demon.

Oh boy, a year in Tears of the Kingdom… I might maybe last a year? If I settle in Hateno or somewhere settled?

Last game I played was PowerWash Simulator. So I think I’ll take that first offer.

Amnesia: The Bunker. Absolutely fucking not

Just completed Red Dead 2, and I've been thinking how cool it'd be... Would probably die of black lung pretty quickly though lol

Days gone... Great game but those hordes are crazy, get me out of there

I would fucking love to live in Stardew Valley for a year.

Power Washing Simulator- pay me!!!! Wooo

Mario kart tour, so yes because people don't die in that. Definitely no to the bonus questions.

Question 1.

Tears of the Kingdom. Assuming that I'm just some dude living in one of the settlements then I'm probably fine for a year. If I have to save Hyrule I'm fucked.

Question 2.

Absolutely not. Shao Khan would rip my soul out within the first day.

Question 3.

Living in an Animal Crossing game sounds pretty attractive. You spend a bit of time catching bugs and digging up bells to pay your no-deadline, no-interest mortgage and have the rest of the time to just pursue your hobbies.

Wastelands 3; that's a fuck no.

Bonus: depends on if it comes with super powers. If yes, then no. If no, then fuck no.

Bonus bonus: probably not, but I'd think about it for hours every night.

System Shock.

As a regular person in the world? Sure, no problem. It's not all that different from reality now, only the climate has effectively collapsed (..we're getting there, give it time), and it's functionally run by corporations (see previous). If I have to live on the station with SHODAN? Yeah, no, definitely not.

Before that was Skyrim, and I feel like I'd be pretty okay there; most people seem to go about their daily lives without dying horrible deaths. Prior to that, Death Stranding, and, again, most people just live quietly in their little bunkers, fuck around on social media, and complain about deliveries of GruHub and Amazon taking too long.

Man, my niece swore to me that if I gave Elden Ring a try I wouldn't regret it. I think she owes me 20 million dollars.

Hogwarts, and I think I could survive just fine even without magic. Even if I do end up squatting in a house or trying to get work in the Hogwarts kitchens with the house elves.

Uuuugghh... Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is a dungeons and dragons campaign, set during a crusade against a growing Abyssal rift in the Prime Material.

Even with my meta knowledge, I'm not sure I like my odds. That's a dangerous fucking world man... I can't even hide somewhere, I'll need income to buy food somehow. Maybe I'll join a monastic order or something. Far from the rift. I give myself 5/10 odds of survival.

No.

Probably not.

I guess I'd try to survive on rowa fruit in the northeast of Liurnia of the Lakes, but I doubt I'd last for more than a day or two.
