Stardew Valley. Laid back, no real responsibilities, plenty to occupy myself with, easy to make friends or to ignore people, tasty foods.

I'd get stuck in the mines

With mods you won't get bored ever

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 29 points 2 months ago

Minecraft with mods. Tasty food, unlimited creation, tons of stuff to try

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Minecraft really has the most creative potential of any game I can think of, especially when you include mods.

[-] Klnsfw@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I'd choose Minecraft (peaceful)+mods. I'd want to be able to develop my own mods, too.

Wait, so like, do we just play the game forever? Or are we actually going into the game world?

Can we break the boundaries of the game mechanics since we're now "inside" it? Or are we still limited to what the game lets us do?

[-] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Exactly this. If it is just playing the game within the existing mechanics, then no thanks, I would rather remain mortal.

Immortality can be scary. Eternity is an unfathomably long time. SCP-7179

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Especially toward the end.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I'd say the lack of stimulus is the scarier thing there. The world is a vast thing, and even if you could live long enough to experience everything that exists now... huge amounts of new things to experience would have been created in the mean time.

And that's just our planet. There is a paralyzingly large amount of things to experience in the universe.

Some mmo where they keep adding stuff. Because my fucking god would it get boring after doing the same game 24/7 after a few years. If that is not allowed I'll go with one of those 18+ rated sex games. At least I won't be bored and horny.

star trek online for the replicators alone.

The Sims. Because I'd still be able to enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches. And if I die again, I'd just become a ghost.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 11 points 2 months ago

Animal Crossing.

Chill AF, rarely deal with other people, most dangerous thing in the entire universe makes you look silly until you sleep it off.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Constant debt to a racoon.

Sure, however, no interest and his kids will buy literally anything I bring.

Clearly the only correct answer is dead or alive extreme beach volleyball.

Buncha queers in here or something SMH.

Dwarf Fortress would probably provide the most diverse experiences. Not necessarily good ones, mind you.

[-] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Scribblenauts. Not my favorite series but with the ability to summon basically anything I want forever I could be essentially a god.

Probably something like RuneScape, not because I particularly like playing it, but more so because that game is one of the least likely to ever be shut down. The idea of living out my afterlife all alone in an abandoned or offline game is terrifying.

[-] recentSloth43@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Satisfactory or No Man's Sky

[-] Rajtinka@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

AC Black Flag. Welcome to the Caribbean, love!

Mass effect probably assuming it behaves like real life seems like an interesting universe despite the calamity thing.

[-] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Monster Girl Quest

[-] Tedesche@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Unbelievably, no one ITT has opted for one of The Elder Scrolls games. So, let me break that seal.

I’ll go with Oblivion, for several reasons. For one, Cyrodiil is my favorite locale. You’ve got elements of most of the other regions incorporated into it and it’s one of (if not the?) biggest in Tamriel.

Second, the world-ending calamity is largely resolved by doing a relatively simple mission, repeatedly, and then letting this other dude (Martin) make the ultimate sacrifice.

Third, custom spell-crafting. I had so much fun with that shit while playing the game, I could easily dive back into it, and it’s essential to be able to custom-craft spells if you live in a world with magic.

Fourth, damn good side quests. ‘Nuff said.

Fifth, as other people have mentioned, mods. This makes my eternal paradise infinitely expandable.

Downsides are that there are mostly only eight different voices in the game, so that would get real fuckin’ boring. Also, the graphics are dated and due to the character creation system, I’d assuredly be some form of fugly. Also, due to the backwards-ass leveling system, without mods I’d have to spend a lot of time doing pointless shit to ensure I acquire god-tier stats. Finally, scaled leveling means that even with my system-abusing spells, I’d wind up fighting monsters that have obnoxious amounts of HP (although, realistically, this isn’t too much of an issue when your spells’ damage increases exponentially with each short-term casting).

Stardew Valley. Have my own little farm and just ignore the goings on.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Solitaire. Not interested in multiplayer. ;)

The original pong..... Wait no.....

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

Too late, your continued existance is the left paddle.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 7 points 2 months ago

Ha, ha, fucking loser left paddle! Right paddle is where it's at.

Infinity Nikki 😅

I am way outside if the age demographic but it's so cute. If not that, probably Cyperpunk.

[-] Teknikal@eviltoast.org 5 points 2 months ago

A heavily modded Skyrim, nice open world plus all the extras from the mods also it would be easy to raise levels until you were a bsast just by blocking with a shield.

You want to live in a universe where the corporations always win and the best you can hope for is going out in an awesome, but ultimately futile blaze of glory?

[-] PigStyle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago
[-] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

i would reject outright the very idea of immortality.

for if one considers the implications of actually existing...forever,

it would not be a blessing

but a curse.

Got it, you'll be in a Vampire: The Masquerade game.
