    I can’t wait to visit Starfleet Medical to get my back and stomach fixed, live in a post scarcity utiopia, see other worlds, and study whatever I want.

    EDIT: I think the worst thing will be contemplating the metaphysics of transporters. But maybe I’ll just never take one.

    • 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 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.

                We’re talking about SCP-5000 Absolute Exclusion Harness right? That’s the main famous SCP where the foundation starts trying to exterminate humanity. But yeah, it’s all told through digital archives onboard a wearable device that renders the wearer completely safe from basically reality as a whole that just appeared and tells of a chilling alternate reality where the foundation starts exterminating mankind and it is implied that the wearer ends up using the suit to survive and then “reset reality” using some other SCPs and that reset reality where that all never happened is the reality the rest of the SCP Foundation we know exists. The Harness is the only thing left as it is shielded fully from basically anything.

          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.

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

      I feel like my life would t be any different. I’d be a wizzard with an annoying job dealing with people who don’t understand magic and all the familial obligations.

      I’d be fine, which is nice, but I’d just be me in another universe.

      Maybe I’d be longing for a less weird universe. And that makes me sad.

      So I guess I would t like to live in Discworld universe. I wouldn’t be the wyrdest person there.

    I don’t think I have a favorite universe - especially not if I get to live as a regular person. I think I’d pick Elder Scrolls

    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.

    It’s nice to see how many of yall are quick with whatever your favorite fictional universe is…

    I have never put much thought into one I’d deem as a favorite. I like a lot of games, shows, books, and such… But I don’t think I’d be able to pick just one.

    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

          Oh absolutely! I’ve logged a few too many hours in Derail Valley. It’s very fun for when I just want to hop on and drive some trains, although it doesn’t really scratch the “I want to play with trains from $SpecificLocale during $SpecificTimeframe” Itch that simulators like Trainz do, where you can for example drive a Metra commuter train from Harvard into Chicago, or jump to Germany and drive the ICE or switch freight wagons in post-grouping Britain, or drive local freights through rural Australia

      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.

          Yeah something like the Oblivion Crisis would be tough on the commoners. But if I could just chill in Vivec City or even Whiterun for most of history it’s pretty safe.

    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
