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.
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!
Culture
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 😭
Adventure Time. Wild crazy adventures, all sorts of interesting creatures. Artisan pickles. You would never be bored.
Culture. No question.
Wouldn't mind a lift, if the good ship Arbitrary is listening.
same
I'm coming with you.
Always my first thought when I see this question
Brazzers
Star Trek
Easy. A post-scarcity world sounds amazing. Never have to really worry about the necessities, just explore whatever art or joy you have.
Sure, you can live in the Star Trek universe. In 2026.
Enjoy the impending Eugenics Wars and Post-Atomic Horror.
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.
Also, the various lengths of wire.
Also, euthanasia is socially accepted. And cheap!
The Culture
Most correct answer possible.
The culture series by Ian Banks.
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.
Solar punk
Trix commercials. I get to steal food from that rabbit all day with zero consequences.
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!
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
Early 30k.
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.
Warhammer 30k?
Animal Crossing. All I have to do is go to bed by 1800 (2000?) and I avoid ever seeing the knee high tarantulas.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
I want to live in Gorjo City. Post stipend, please.
In Psalm, would you want to be a robot or a human?
Just assumed I had to be a human, but now given the choice, I'll take life as a robot.
