(Idea taken from a similar post I saw in Reddit a longer time ago)

I would probably get a knife in my ribs before I notice anything and be left to lie in the street πŸ˜…

I'd land in a minefield, with only numbers to help me out.

Isn't it that building/strategy game where beavers have evolved and build cities? Saw it in Steam.

I'd be hanging out in my nice Minecraft city my friends and I are building. Honestly wouldn't be too bad

[–] Damaskox@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

...until the evening comes. I hope you do have...precautions for that?

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We have inner and outer walls encircling the city and raised rail lines passing between major points of interest. I'd be prepared!

Odds are that I get run over by a train shortly after. Also the factory must grow.

[–] Damaskox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Hahaa!

Good that you beat the Great Filter of oil production (I think trains might be around or after researching that?)! Many of us find introducing oil...demoralizing playing motivation (did for me unfortunately!) πŸ˜…

Valheim, so probably killed by a falling tree.

Path of Achra - the game speaks for itself.

BG3, so I'm either getting body snatched, horribly murdered, or laid.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If you're lucky, it's going to be all 3 and your murder will happen AFTER you get laid!

Lucky me, I live in Stardew Valley now. And I'm never going back.

If my regular Apex Legends experience applies, I've got about 30 seconds to live and no hope of my teammates reviving me.

[–] flicker@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm playing golf?

How unlikely! How fortunate I took so long to play Golf Story!

Factorio. The factory must grow.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (4 children)

It's animal crossing. I eat some fruit and then forget and hit a rock and break it.

Grow the factory.

I spend three years locked in a tiny capsule and then die because the engineers forgot to add parachutes.

Rimwold. I'll be dying from an infection caused by a chinchilla's bite.

[–] TheColonel@reddthat.com 11 points 2 years ago

Hang out with a bunch of cool dudes, do some diving, make some sushi.

Sounds pretty ideal.

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'd be miserable in a basement, flinging my tears at flies and poop.

I'd look pretty out of place as an overweight 43 year old man playing in the Women's World Cup.

Groan. That means I am stuck in boring but pretty Starfield forever.

Guess I would finally build an Outpost πŸ˜†

I guess I'm now stuck in the digital world with my companions that consist of a pile of sentient poop and a Dinosaur that can breath fire and talk. Both of which will experience the cycle of life, death, and re-incarnation roughly every few weeks.

I will chill in the idealistic socialist town and happily eat the freshly grown meat straight off the vine that the living plant monster gives out to everyone for free daily

Brain damage (rocket league).

[–] frokie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I go and live a peaceful life in Kakariko Village

Elden Ring. If it's anything like my playing experience. I'm dead within 2 minutes.

[–] Senseless@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago

I die. Just like I do in CS2. Shouldn't have started again, I'm just too old for this shit.

~~I would go bowling with my cousin.~~

Oh wait, I forgot I played the RoboCop demo. Uh oh...

Note: The fact I forgot about playing it probably doesn't speak well for my enjoyment of the game.

I'd be living in the slums in Night City and have a higher quality of life than anyone I know in real life

[–] tym@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Shitty time to have dusted off plants vs zombies. Guess me and crazy Dave are buds now. If you need me, I'll be rummaging through the kitchen cabinets looking for a helmet!

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Does D&D count? I could probably have a decent time finding some magic item and then just using it in daily life.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I continue my attempts to Slay the Spire
