Ask Lemmy

Paper Mario, ez dub

Microsoft Flight Simulator.

I get to fly planes for a year, and then I get enough money to buy my own plane in real life? Yeah, I'm doing fucking AWESOME. Let's go!

I played Disney Dreamlight Valley with my daughter. So I’m good I reckon.

Same as @HelixDab, System Shock would be bad, but as a regular person living in the world I could make it for $20 million. Citadel Station? Not a chance, not for all the money in the world.

Bonus Question: Fighting in a Mortal Kombat tournament? No. After a year of training I'm still going to die in the first round. No amount of money is enough.

Bonus Bonus Question: This previous questions were easy. This one's hard. I'm sure I could find a video-game world that would be pleasant to live in, potentially much better than our world, but I'd have to trade all of my family and friends for it. I'd strongly consider it if I found a world where I could be effectively immortal and have a good life as well—making it a very narrow set of options—but ultimately I'm not sure what my answer would be.

Yeah, I think I could survive in Ratchet and Clank.

And while on the subject: Dude, this game is seriously one of the best looking games I have ever played. It's like playing a legit Disney/Pixar film. I want to live inside it. It would be a dream come true to live inside a really good cartoon. 😄

20 million $ to go back to 1939 yeah sure. Do I get to pick the country or how does that work?

But I say no to both bonus questions.

I couldn’t remember the last time I played a video game.

I realized I’d showed my kids a browser version of Super Mario Bros after taking them to the movie.

No way I’d survive a year.

I already stress out keeping up with the workload and multitasking. A year in the world of Overcooked would be just another year.

1. Scribblenauts If I get the notebook. I am good, and I'd be willing to stay there permanently.
2. Nope not going to Mortal Kombat.

Dave the Diver, super chill.

question the first: I'd accept, in Rimworld, my colonists usually last around a year or so before disease, war, or wild creatures get them.

question the second: hard pass.

question the third: I'd accept, and go to the final fantasy universe. as long as you're not the main character, small town residents are seemingly immortal.

Need more info before I accept or not. Does time IRL freeze? Or do I miss a year of real life time?

If I miss a year then nah because that's logistical nightmares and a LOT of explaining. Plus all my stuff would probably be lost if I stop paying rent because I'm non existent for a year, including legal documents etc.

If IRL time stops though, yeah I'd take it. Last played Ensemble Stars which is a game about idols. So the world they live in is more or less just normal modern day Earth.

Anyway I need to know the situation with IRL while I'm gone, OP.

I would not take the further deals because I'm disabled for the first one, and because I have people and things I like IRL for the second.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

… Yup, I’m gonna die.

I think I could somehow survive one year of Kamurocho in the 80s. Hopefully I get subtitles!

Just bought elden ring during summer sales, maybe not a good idea

absolutely; i believe the last game was some VR fishing game where you just hang out on a boat

First question: I'm playing Diablo IV, so hell no...

A big fat no to the other two as well. I'd stand no chance in MK, and I'm not very keen on leaving the wife and kids lol.

God no. I couldn't hack it in the insanity of Bramble...

Been replaying Fallout New Vegas, but with mods. I might survive for a year, but I'd be playing the game entirely different. No sense in making a name for myself or picking sides in a war for the dam.

Grounded? Nope, nope, nope nope nope.

Game before that was Sable, I could handle that.

Pretty sure the last thing I played that wasn't Boggle Plus for the Gameboy was Ace Combat 4. Seems like it would be ok, like an alternate reality version of here, but from the early 2000's. No problem. As long as I'm nust existing, not a main character.

Forever? The Mojave Wasteland from New Vegas. Man, I love that game. I'd be getting my Dine and Dash perk in no time.

If Chess counts, hell no. I suck at chess and they’re going to make me a pawn.

If its “real games”, then yeah I think I could live in Hateno Village for a year and be alright.

Bondee's Barnyard?

Bro I don't actually have to go to the restaraunt

Outer Wilds. Not sure what to make of this, but I guess I would be fine? (I'm not through yet, so please don't spoil anything in the comments)

The game before that would be Plague Tale: Requiem, and nah, I won't take my chances with that

Returnal, so I'd definitely survive but at what cost to my mental health.

Pillars of eternity. My party of 6 professional adventurers die all the time. Don’t think I’d do ok.

Do I get to live as the classes I play?

I mean, game I'm currently playing is GW2, if I had to be out in the wilds of open world as the normal regular human being I am I probably wouldn't survive 10 minutes (noone would I believe), tho if I get to live as the class I'm currently playing I would be very well suited to go anywhere without dying.

If not, I could still live well by staying in capital cities, tho it could become a bit boring.

BONUS: no, just because I never played Mortal Combat so no idea how it is.

BONUS BONUS: I think I would accept but I would be torn between WoW and GW2 worlds.

Eh, I'll be fine. I'll kick it in Seyda Neen for a bit and head to Balmora. Probably wouldn't adventure too hard since I can't just reload my last save, but may fall in with the Mages because I'd like to learn some Magic while I'm there.

Edit: Oh shit wait! I forgot I dusted off the GBC on Friday! Yeah you bet I'll take 20mil to throw balls at animals and ride a bike for a year! I'm omw to Pallet Town!
