Ask Lemmy

That's such a hard choice.

Mabinogi would be great just keep on grinding forever sounds great plus fun fantasy world to run around in cute fashion.

But then I can also do the same thing in Minecraft plus I get to creat insane redstone builds.

Clearly the only correct answer is dead or alive extreme beach volleyball.

Buncha queers in here or something SMH.

/s

Stardew Valley. Have my own little farm and just ignore the goings on.

Minecraft, I guess. You’re gonna run out of things to do in any game, so if you’re gonna be stuck in one, might as well be one that’s got a ton of mods.

This brings up some questions. Like how realistic does the game look to the person trapped inside? Are censors that the game normally has still active? What about live service games or MMOs? Do you die if they go out of business and they take down the servers?

But most importantly, how do I know I'll actually be uploaded into that video game?

A heavily modded Skyrim, nice open world plus all the extras from the mods also it would be easy to raise levels until you were a bsast just by blocking with a shield.

Flower. I need a break from this country

Probably Disney Dreamlight Valley or Zelda:BotW.

Definitely not Dragon Age or Game of Thrones.

Stellaris.

Going to be a space emperor forever.

Probably something like RuneScape, not because I particularly like playing it, but more so because that game is one of the least likely to ever be shut down. The idea of living out my afterlife all alone in an abandoned or offline game is terrifying.

The Sims. Because I'd still be able to enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches. And if I die again, I'd just become a ghost.

AC Black Flag. Welcome to the Caribbean, love!

Scribblenauts. Not my favorite series but with the ability to summon basically anything I want forever I could be essentially a god.

Sarcastic Response - one of the GTA Games. Preferably GTA4 for my own 2000s nostalgia reasons. Why? Because its the closest thing to life as we knew it before real life started surpassing the absurdity of the GTA Universe

Serious Response - I cant think of any one game I'd want to spend an eternity in right now, so I'll cop out with an "MMO". Probably Second Life. Yeah its full of freaks but you can create stuff and interact with people. Excuse me while I retire into my doom fortress on the original "metaverse"

Satisfactory or No Man's Sky

Minecraft with mods. Tasty food, unlimited creation, tons of stuff to try

Stardew Valley. Laid back, no real responsibilities, plenty to occupy myself with, easy to make friends or to ignore people, tasty foods.

Infinity Nikki 😅

I am way outside if the age demographic but it's so cute. If not that, probably Cyperpunk.

Monster Girl Quest

Mass effect probably assuming it behaves like real life seems like an interesting universe despite the calamity thing.

Animal Crossing.

Chill AF, rarely deal with other people, most dangerous thing in the entire universe makes you look silly until you sleep it off.

Wait, so like, do we just play the game forever? Or are we actually going into the game world?

Can we break the boundaries of the game mechanics since we're now "inside" it? Or are we still limited to what the game lets us do?

Immortality can be scary. Eternity is an unfathomably long time. SCP-7179

Leisure Suit Larry because reasons.

i would reject outright the very idea of immortality.

for if one considers the implications of actually existing...forever,

it would not be a blessing

but a curse.

Some mmo where they keep adding stuff. Because my fucking god would it get boring after doing the same game 24/7 after a few years. If that is not allowed I'll go with one of those 18+ rated sex games. At least I won't be bored and horny.

star trek online for the replicators alone.

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

Because Hyrule and I got to be both the princess and the hero. Plus being able to summon a royal bed whenever I want to take a nap is nice.

Unbelievably, no one ITT has opted for one of The Elder Scrolls games. So, let me break that seal.

I’ll go with Oblivion, for several reasons. For one, Cyrodiil is my favorite locale. You’ve got elements of most of the other regions incorporated into it and it’s one of (if not the?) biggest in Tamriel.

Second, the world-ending calamity is largely resolved by doing a relatively simple mission, repeatedly, and then letting this other dude (Martin) make the ultimate sacrifice.

Third, custom spell-crafting. I had so much fun with that shit while playing the game, I could easily dive back into it, and it’s essential to be able to custom-craft spells if you live in a world with magic.

Fourth, damn good side quests. ‘Nuff said.

Fifth, as other people have mentioned, mods. This makes my eternal paradise infinitely expandable.

Downsides are that there are mostly only eight different voices in the game, so that would get real fuckin’ boring. Also, the graphics are dated and due to the character creation system, I’d assuredly be some form of fugly. Also, due to the backwards-ass leveling system, without mods I’d have to spend a lot of time doing pointless shit to ensure I acquire god-tier stats. Finally, scaled leveling means that even with my system-abusing spells, I’d wind up fighting monsters that have obnoxious amounts of HP (although, realistically, this isn’t too much of an issue when your spells’ damage increases exponentially with each short-term casting).
