Ask Lemmy

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.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

… Yup, I’m gonna die.

Just finished pikmin 1. If I'm just myself, then might be okay since wouldn't have to worry about all those bugs. But if I'm like olimar then that'd be tough.

Bonus question: nah

Bonus bonus question: Probably not, but if I had to pick the world of pokemon is calling my name.

Dave the Diver, super chill.

Dead by Daylight. No thanks.

Sons of the forest, ehh I rather not…

Heck yeah! I’ll be living it up on my island in New Horizons. All I have to do is avoid tarantulas, scorpions, and wasps. I got this.

Returnal

Fuuuuuck no.

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.

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

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

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

No. Last game I played is POST VOID. It would be instant suicide. The average survival time in this game is like 20 seconds for the very first run.

I'm playing The Long Dark right now, so no thank you times 10. (It's a very hard survival game set in northern Canadian during winter.)

Hard no from me, Diablo 4's world is insanely dangerous. Take one step out of any city and the humans of the world are out numbered 100k to 1 in werewolves, zombies, skeletons, literal demons, bandits, it's insane how dangerous this world is. Humanity would be on the brink of extinction.

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.

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.

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.

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

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. 😄

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

Sure would, before I was playing blasphemous (masterpiece btw) but since, I began playing either .Hack Least recode for nostalgia reasons, so basically a Isekai Anime or manga common troupe, and mainly Sun Haven a super chill Stardew Valley-esque farm adventure sim. So yeah sure, happy to.

BQ1: No, im not confident on my body's will or my physical prowess to train for a year and then challenge champions.

Tears of the Kingdom Question 1: maybe? Not as Link (can’t tell you how many times I’ve died). But as some random person in one of the cities, probably. Bonus: No. Especially since I’m sure I’d be controlled by some human like myself that never got into fighting games. Bonus 2: Nope. With all the faults of this world I love my family too much to leave them all behind.

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

Just started Bendy and the Dark Revival. I think I’m screwed.

Well it depends, do I get to be the main character? Because being Spider-Man would be pretty cool.

Bonus Question: No thanks,

Bonus Bonus Question: Yes, and I think I'd choose the Halo universe, but just as a regular person, not a Spartan or anything. And after the war, so hopefully human civilization isn't so bad then.

Just started Skyrim for the first time ever. Assuming I'm me, A plain old human, not a dragon born chosen one. I may be ok? I can hopefully find some quiet village that isn't going to be ransacked by dragons or some clan. Honestly to have a little farm or something would be ideal and quite nice. I suppose I could use any real world mathematics or engineering knowledge to impress some leader. That might provide me some safety, or completely backfire as I could become of interest to other clans who want me obedience and knowledge or death.I'd also have like zero immunities to any diseases so maybe try to avoid people and take my chances as a hermit.

Dangerous? Certainly. Would I take the offer? Yes.

That said I can't figure out how to get mods working correctly. I've gone through the video guide process. I think I messed up somewhere in picking up some dependency things like SKSE and setting up proper pathing or something. I should probably just start over from scratch.

Cod ww2 hardened mode 💀💀💀

Grounded? Nope, nope, nope nope nope.

Game before that was Sable, I could handle that.

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

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.

Bondee's Barnyard?

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

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...

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

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
