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.

You mean I get to love on the Discworld on the backs of 4 giant elephants on the back of a cosmic turtle?

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'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.

Half-Life

Actually just fully fucked.

Star Wars.

I'll accept it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Thing is, unless you live in the core worlds in any time period, and even then a relatively rich part of the core worlds, your life is gonna be pretty shitty in Star Wars. The Outer Rim is notoriously shit for anyone living there. Naboo might be nice, or Alderaan if you can actually find a place to live there and pick the right time period, so basically a couple decades before the prequels.

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.

Life in the Discworld wouldn't be so bad, most people seem to have an OK life.

Adventure Time so basically the plot of the Fionna and Cake series (which I highly recommend)

Elder Scrolls... So here's hoping I land somewhere in Cyrodiil with a long gap in between major catastrophic events.

Brandon Sanderson's cosmere. Kinda even chances between being instantly killed, enslaved, selling my soul to make a living or being stuck in the same office job I already have, but this time I'm Magneto.
