and why?
Elite Dangerous. Ultimate sandbox. If by living within the game I could have all the little extras that the developers never put in, I’d be set, and take off exploring.
Roblox. What isn’t in that game at this point?
Factorio, because the factory must grow.
This is the only acceptable answer never ending factory and now space
Plus multiplayer among like minded is fun.
Stardew Valley would be a nice place to retire.
This is my answer too. Nice small town woth an actual home. Sign me up.
A couple follow-ups, are we limited by the rules of the game, or is it like we’re actually living there? Like if I’m in gta v, do i get to pick up a pencil and write a book, is everything in the game at real-life fidelity, or am i stuck with the regular game inputs and graphics?
Am i able to add mods to the game? Can i add new mods after my first startup? I would assume there’s a way to reset or restart the game in case of bugs and softlocks so maybe there’s a hub i can use to do those kinds of things.
I think i might pick gmod + mods. That way i could build some interesting projects in sandbox, play games that people make for it, maybe even watch some YouTube early on before compatibility breaks. I’d also have a 1:1 scale model of the multiverse to explore.
Minecraft. The world isn’t infinite, but it’s really damn big.
Sure but everything would be blocky and you would be stuck with villagers saying hmm all the time. Unless you decide to live alone with the lights always on so a creeper, enderman or zombie doesn’t get you.
factorio!
No more worries about UPS. If your base grows too big and UPS drops, so will your brain’s processing speed and you’ll never notice a thing.
hadn’t even thought about that. Nice!
Minecraft. But immortality in any case is kinda scary. SCP-7179
Creative expression aside, it is vital that we remember that we cannot predict how the human psyche will react to a pseudo-utopia, so this is at best speculation. Doesn’t mean it is bad speculation!
Good one! Thanks for sharing.
Is this like Death Becomes Her immortality where your meat suit is not invincible and no longer self-healing? If I didn’t have to worry about painful and horrible disfigurement, I’d probably choose Skyrim. If I have to be careful, then something real chill like Travel Town.
Pong.
base game Skyrim: Hell
my version of modded Skyrim: Heaven
Webfishing
Black Desert Online, as if real life wasn’t pay-to-win enough
So, I’d need more details. How exactly would my consciousness exist within the game? Would the game be subject to be modded or updated in the future? Like, Skyrim with mods is a good option, but World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14 would allow me to continue being social with real humans, but those latter games are very subject to future change.
Back on the 1st question, there’s a significant difference if my consciousness occupies a random NPC or I become the equivalent of a player character. Also important: what would happen to me if the game crashed or the computer/servers went down for whatever reason?
why would you want to be immortal? everything ends eventually, so why would you want to be the only one forced to stay?
