    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.

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

    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.

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

    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

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Well, depending on where and when in the story I land in Eorzea, it can be a nice and boring existence, one where I get to see all the famous heroes of the age from all across the realm, or a painfully short one.

    My favorite universe is Star Wars. Pretty sure we’re already on track to be fighting an evil empire soon enough, just without the cool spaceships.

      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.

          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 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.

              Wasn’t aware of that part. Good Lord. I am beginning to suspect that SCP lore may be a magnitude of order larger than TES lore.
