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.
Just stop channeling until they

But yea, without modern technology, I'd actually have to go outside? And talk to people? 😱
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.
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.
The Expanse fans:
... dies on Eros
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.
Stardew you'd at least be fucked in the good way. I mean, just look at Mayor Louis and Marnie
Nope. You'd most likely be stuck in the city the player escaped from, or the war that Jodi's hubby is in in the first year.
Because of your username, are you familiar with Derail Valley Simulator? It's an excellent locomotive simulator.
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.
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.
Each zelda game is wildly different when it comes to the state of the world so i can't say for sure. All i know is i need to protect my pots from that maniac in green
You'll cease to exist when the Wind Fish gets woken up.
+1 for Zelda fan. But just be pot seller and you're set for life.
I'll take a half.
I love Cyberpunk 2077 but since I'm German I might be mostly okay
SCP fan. I'm fucked.
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 actually didn't know there were this many. I've read a lot of the SCPs, but the organization deciding that they needed to kill everyone just kinda killed the universe for me.
https://containmentbreach.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Notable_SCP_games
I just happened to find out that Allen Wake is set in that universe because of some article that I read in the last couple years.
Marvel.
Shit my insurance rates are going up.
Only if you're in New York.
Wake the fuck up samurai
We have a city to burn.
Fallout. I'm dead before I realize where I am.
The game was rigged from the start...
Personal spaceships commonly available?
Lots of unusual, but generally friendly aliens?
The Space Dandyverse wouldn't be too horrid.
My favorite fictional universe is The Culture. I think I'm going to be alright lol.
I just hope we're born in Culture space, rather than one of the less...forward thinking societies.
Also plot twist: our universe is the Culture universe, we just haven't made contact yet. I think it was shown in State of the Art
The State of the Art and Excession are the two I haven't gotten my hands on yet. I'm reading Matter right now and am consistently blown away by how forward thinking the author is. All of his work holds up so well.
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'll probably try to channel and then get chased down by a red ajah, then I lose channeling, get depressed, kms. the end
The wheel weaves as the wheel wills.
