As awful as Rimworld can be, there's also some amazing tech that would be great to have. Sure 99% of the planet is some combination of nuclear wasteland, cannibals, Eldritch terrors, ravenous marauding insect swarms and capricious machine god puppets, but my colony is a paradise bastion where each colonist is perfected, given only the taks that fulfill them most, and catered to every need and desire in utmost luxury. Except body purists, but fuck those guys some people simply refuse to be happy.

[-] AliasVortex@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I feel like I'd totally die of an infected papercut or get mauled by a pack of rampaging Labradors on the Rim, but in the meantime I volunteer for crafting/ research duty!

So long as it's post-show, I would have basically zero qualms living in the Summer Camp Island universe. No spoilers as to why.

I also wouldn't mind living in the Legend of Hei universe if I was a spirit. The caveat being I am some animal spirit. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't like it as much. Being a human looking spirit or like that one weird looking blue guy whose cave was turned into a tourist attraction would be kinda mid for me.

Then again, I see no reason why I wouldn't love to be in a peaceful enough looking universe as Angry Beavers ( but only if I were a beaver or otter ).

Similar thing with Tiny Toon Adventures. Seems like a fine enough fictional world to live in and, if I'm lucky, I think I'd fit in at Acme Looniversity, if I was an animal toon young enough to attend instead of being my current age. Would be kinda creepy for me to be mg current age and attending that school as a student...

Although, I think I wouldn't mind being my main Toontown character... so long as tge world isn't as small as the game is. If it were an actual fleshed out world, you bet your jellybeans that I would be off fighting cogs!

Yeah, so I am gonna stop here because there are a TON of different cartoon/cartoon adjacent/animated universes I wouldn't mind living in.

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Very few of them, which annoys me. 90% of fictional universes are dystopian, on the edge of collapse, and only savable by a smaller group.

The Trails games kind of stood out for having a world that’s usually on pace, and isn’t even aware of whatever sinister plot your detectives/adventurers are looking into.

[-] Dagobah@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

For a second I thought you said the 'Trials' games. I guess living in a world of cartoonish side scrolling motocross wouldn't be so bad

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 15 hours ago

Frankly, any cozy-game universe would probably be perfect. Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Disney Dreamlight Valley. Even if I end up bored of all the happiness, I can go villain then later have a redemption arc.

Whichever universe food commercials take place in. Soon as someone says their hungry the most beautiful food appears instantly but somehow no one ever gets fat. I know that IRL those commercials use paint, woodchips and all sort of nasty stuff to get it looking like that, but IN UNIVERSE everyone loves it. I wanna live there.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 17 hours ago

The world of Shrek has tons of cool magic in it, sign me up! But also most cartoon/animation worlds, where you can survive all sorts of physical shenanigans with no injuries or consequences.

[-] AnxiousMiisha 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Just like Mona Lisa, a manga (soon to be anime) where people are born genderless and at 12, they choose which puberty to go through.

Yes I'm trans, why do you ask? 😆 And this whole manga's concept is making me really dysphoric 😭

[-] AverageEarthling@feddit.online 5 points 19 hours ago

Adventure Time. Wild crazy adventures, all sorts of interesting creatures. Artisan pickles. You would never be bored.

[-] rbos@lemmy.ca 9 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Culture. No question.

Wouldn't mind a lift, if the good ship Arbitrary is listening.

Easy. A post-scarcity world sounds amazing. Never have to really worry about the necessities, just explore whatever art or joy you have.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sure, you can live in the Star Trek universe. In 2026.

Enjoy the impending Eugenics Wars and Post-Atomic Horror.

[-] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Star trek but in 1417.

Futurama. People go to the moon for donuts, there are fast food joints even in the furthest reaches of space, you can go any part of the world in less than a second, most, keyword MOST, robots cater to your needs, you can live literally anywhere, and silly, adventurous stuff happen all the time.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 7 points 1 day ago

Also, the various lengths of wire.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Also, euthanasia is socially accepted. And cheap!

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 points 19 hours ago
[-] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 1 points 10 hours ago

Most correct answer possible.

[-] Billy_bitch_tits@infosec.pub 15 points 1 day ago

The culture series by Ian Banks.

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

1000%. Functionally unlimited lifespan in which to explore the universe, in a super-intelligent ship that contains the sum of civilizational knowledge? Hell yeah, sign me up!

The Pokemon universe would be kinda fun just to have one of the creatures there as someone to chill with.

For sure me and Jigglypuff would end up in marker scribble fights pretty frequently.

Trix commercials. I get to steal food from that rabbit all day with zero consequences.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

No. You got it all backwards.

That's the world where you can't even pour a bowl a cereal without a cartoon character trying to steal it!

[-] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

If I had to live in one as a normal person: culture or startrek, as mentioned

If I get to choose my roll/skillset, gleeman in Wheel of Time, visiting all the countries would be amazing

Depends on which world you end up on… because there are quite a few Space Marine legions you don’t want to be invaded by.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 15 hours ago

Warhammer 30k?

[-] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Animal Crossing. All I have to do is go to bed by 1800 (2000?) and I avoid ever seeing the knee high tarantulas.

[-] Thrawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

If we assume I'm not one of the main characters but by living in the world it follows basically the same rules as them. Then zero question Phineas and Ferb.

I see so many people saying Star Trek but there are so many wars and other major issues in that world. In P&F the worst evil people in the world are part of LOVE MUFFIN and able to be completely handled and even often rehabilitated by animal agents.

[-] AliasVortex@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I believe there's a late series crossover with Marvel that could have some sub-optimal ramifications to living in the Phineas and Ferb universe. Otherwise, I'd absolutely want to live in a world where the most evil thing someone can cook up is "Big Laundry".

Also, aren't you a little young to be a grand admiral of the imperial navy?

[-] Thrawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Yep I'm aware of the crossovers but even then the Phineas and Ferb effect seems to make up for it just fine. Even the Milo Murphy crossover included... Probably just choose not to live near his family although it would keep life interesting and I assume property prices are basically free there.

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 points 19 hours ago

Okay but the entire world is teetering on a razor's edge. If the Mysterious Force ever stops hiding the boys' inventions from Linda, the world's parents will outlaw fun and Doof will take over the world.

[-] bunkyprewster@startrek.website 0 points 15 hours ago

Less well known but,

Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers or

The nine worlds of The Hands of the Emporer by Victoria Goddard

nice people doing the best they can, in a world that isn't like our current dystopia

[-] MarieMarion@literature.cafe 1 points 4 hours ago

I want to live in Gorjo City. Post stipend, please.

[-] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

In Psalm, would you want to be a robot or a human?

[-] bunkyprewster@startrek.website 1 points 9 hours ago

Just assumed I had to be a human, but now given the choice, I'll take life as a robot.
