What game is it and how are you doing?

BONUS QUESTION: He instead offers you $1 billion if you go to the Mortal Kombat universe, join the tournament and survive. He'll have Raiden train you for a year, then the blood splatters. Do you accept?

BONUS BONUS QUESTION: He offers to send you to a video game world of your choosing, only you can never come back home or contact anyone here ever again, not even with in-universe abilities. Do you accept and, if so, which one?

Cities: Skylines - no problem, it's a great place to live! ... As long as your house is near an evacuation shelter, on account of all the tornados and stuff.

[-] CoderKat@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

But all the poop water!

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Same for me, my city is pretty nice and I don't have extreme weather enabled so no tornadoes in mine.

[-] antoneg@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Animal Crossing here I come.

[-] imrichyouknow@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

I probably won’t, the last video game I played was Minecraft, I can’t imagine myself surviving such harsh environment.

[-] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago

Technically it was Pokemon as my 4 year old is now stuck because the last stage of the new open world game has actual story line to follow and he can't read. Was able to catch a hundred Pokemon, beat all gyms all by basically button mashing om which attack to do.

So yeah I'll take $20M as humans dont die in Pokemon.

No to MK. Game is rigged as everyone else has superpowers.

And the bonus bonus is a no go not because of not seeing anyone but because then I'd have money in that game world and that isn't very useful.

Hell no, I played MyHouse.wad last. I would either die a horrible death and go mad in an inescapable empty hospital or I would just go mad from the rest of the game. I wouldn't even be able to trust the world when I got back.

Before that I played Detroit: Become Human. That one seems survivable to me. I'd just go about my day and be nice to everyone I meet.

[-] butterslaps@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. I was playing Cities: Skylines.

I would spend that year driving around in my doughnut truck, working at Dino Oil or Healthy Weeds, enjoy my weekends at the parking lot or the bouncy castle, and run to high ground during the next tsunami.

After winning the cash I'd ask to be transported to the Ark universe, and then I'd spend the rest of my life in a glass mansion, training armies of dinosaurs to do my bidding.
JK, I'd probably spend the rest of my very short life running naked from a dilophosaur while screaming. Still more fun than reality.

[-] Clown_Tempura@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Just beat Tears of the Kingdom. Great game. I feel like for a country embroiled in a magical apocalypse most places are super comfy and safe to live in. 20 mil? Easy money.

No, I am not participating in Mortal Kombat.

One way ticket? It's gotta be Pokemon. It's the isekai holy grail. Living there would be way better than any of the shitty games, imagine just the travel lifestyle alone. Food and healthcare are free and plentiful. You can make easy luxury money having your favorite critter beat the brakes off of some snot-nosed kid's rat.

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'll just hang out at Hateno or Lurelin or Lookout Landing or Kakariko

[-] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'm about to have the best year of my life living in Pelican Town

[-] Instigate@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same here! Gonna make some bank and live that cushy life on Ginger Island.

[-] TwistedTurtle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I built a really nice city in Cities Skylines. I'd just be chilling.

[-] Mish9993@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Hogwarts, and I think I could survive just fine even without magic. Even if I do end up squatting in a house or trying to get work in the Hogwarts kitchens with the house elves.

[-] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

Factorio.

THE FACTORY MUST GROW.

[-] tRFRmrNe8Nj2Kimc@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

For a year? Absolutely. Permanently? The loneliness would be awful.

[-] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

You can build a flying robot army. Who needs people?

And how do you remember your user name?

[-] tRFRmrNe8Nj2Kimc@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Lmao it was the wifi password at a place I once worked, and I had to put it in so many times it just stuck with me.

And I LIKE people(for the most part)

The last game I played was Pokémon Go. I’d survive…it’d be boring as hell but I’d survive, if Niantic survives haha that layoff was a bit scary for PoGo

[-] JollyTheRancher@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Man, my niece swore to me that if I gave Elden Ring a try I wouldn't regret it. I think she owes me 20 million dollars.

[-] reverendz@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I couldn’t remember the last time I played a video game.

I realized I’d showed my kids a browser version of Super Mario Bros after taking them to the movie.

No way I’d survive a year.

[-] stevexley@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Star Citizen, I'd be lucky to surive a day without glitching into space and dying

[-] iconic_admin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Pillars of eternity. My party of 6 professional adventurers die all the time. Don’t think I’d do ok.

[-] kezza596@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Project zomboid. Not a chance.

Question 1.

Tears of the Kingdom. Assuming that I'm just some dude living in one of the settlements then I'm probably fine for a year. If I have to save Hyrule I'm fucked.

Question 2.

Absolutely not. Shao Khan would rip my soul out within the first day.

Question 3.

Living in an Animal Crossing game sounds pretty attractive. You spend a bit of time catching bugs and digging up bells to pay your no-deadline, no-interest mortgage and have the rest of the time to just pursue your hobbies.

Diablo 4 - hell no.

Mortal Kombat - HELL NO

Leisure Suit Larry - hell yes 😈

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Uuuugghh... Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is a dungeons and dragons campaign, set during a crusade against a growing Abyssal rift in the Prime Material.

Even with my meta knowledge, I'm not sure I like my odds. That's a dangerous fucking world man... I can't even hide somewhere, I'll need income to buy food somehow. Maybe I'll join a monastic order or something. Far from the rift. I give myself 5/10 odds of survival.

No.

Probably not.

[-] varsock@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I tell him that I am currently in a simulation and thus it must be the last game I played.

If I get a fat check that means this is all a simulation ;)

[-] ScytheAsgore@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
  1. Scribblenauts If I get the notebook. I am good, and I'd be willing to stay there permanently.
  2. Nope not going to Mortal Kombat.
[-] lagomorphlecture@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

A. Heck yes the game is called Garden Paws and you can't die and get to tame adorable kitties and bunnies, pick flowers, etc. It's going to be a nice vacation. B. No way, I'll take the $20 million vacation. C. I'm still going with the first option.

[-] tallwookie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

question the first: I'd accept, in Rimworld, my colonists usually last around a year or so before disease, war, or wild creatures get them.

question the second: hard pass.

question the third: I'd accept, and go to the final fantasy universe. as long as you're not the main character, small town residents are seemingly immortal.

[-] GolGolarion@pathfinder.social 4 points 1 year ago

Ok, I think i could survive being opressed by a tempermental child king who resets everything when he doesnt get his way for a year... unless that also resets the timer, i which case it's groundhog's day forever for me. Gimme the 20 mil, funny magic man.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I played Minecraft in peaceful mode, so, yeah, that sounds like a nice year long vacation actually.

Hard pass on the mortal kombat, but I might take the third offer if I could be functionally immortal and the world was expansive enough.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Been replaying Fallout New Vegas, but with mods. I might survive for a year, but I'd be playing the game entirely different. No sense in making a name for myself or picking sides in a war for the dam.

[-] ada 4 points 1 year ago

A drunken wizard offers you $20 million if you let him send you to the world of the last video game you played

A year in an advanced human democratic Utopia prior to first contact with hostile aliens? I think I could manage that :)

(Stellaris)

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Warhammer Total war 2.

I'm not accepting.

Maybe if it was medieval total war I could get hired on as an assistant to someone, but total war has gone much more total war since then.

Mortal Kombat, not unless we allow corner trapping like in the 90s.

[-] speedbeef@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Euro Truck Simulator 2. ez clap.

[-] jadedctrl@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

… Yup, I’m gonna die.

[-] JasonDJ@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago

Last game I played was PowerWash Simulator. So I think I’ll take that first offer.

[-] Behole@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Power Washing Simulator- pay me!!!! Wooo

War Thunder. If I don't have to go to battle, but just stay in the hangar it would be a easy twenty Mil. If I have to go into the warzone I'm fucked. For Mortal Combat, No. I would against the first guy running into my way. I will accept the bonus on my death bed.

[-] RandomlyAssigned@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Days gone... Great game but those hordes are crazy, get me out of there

[-] SuddenTrash@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Just completed Red Dead 2, and I've been thinking how cool it'd be... Would probably die of black lung pretty quickly though lol

[-] MildManneredPate@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, I'm good! Seeing how random peasants seem to fare in the world of Diablo IV, I think I'm pretty likely to get stomped on by a big old demon.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Amnesia: The Bunker. Absolutely fucking not

Oh boy, a year in Tears of the Kingdom… I might maybe last a year? If I settle in Hateno or somewhere settled?

[-] jdsquared@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

The SimCity 4 count? I think id survive pretty well in there. But that's not a real gaming game, the last one I played was GTA v. I don't know if I make it there without a respawn
