    Assuming I can find Sam and Dean or stay the fuck away from Sam and Dean I would be safe.

    Pokemon seems awful

    Ever present terrorism, most towns don’t have food

    Animal attacks are more common and dangerous

      These terrorist organizations are at least nice enough to let you attempt to capture a relatively weak pikachu for over a decade. My boss gets mad if I go over my 15 minute coffee break.

      If you take them at face value and not as a gamified abstraction, sure. “Pallet Town” having three buildings is unlivable but it isn’t shown that way in non-game media.

      The organized crime is rough but that usually gets sorted out by a child at some point so just keep your head down.

    Star Trek? Hell yeah. The Borg might be a small problem and the Klingon, but no cooking, no cleaning, no need for money.

    Wheel of Time wouldn’t be so terrible except that you lose 400 years of technological progress and you’re completely screwed if you’re a male and end up being a magic user.

    I’m not certain if I’d be more fucked in Factorio, The Elder Scrolls, Terraria, or Stardew Valley. I’d be fucked either way though since I assume I’d be a rando off screen, and not the main character

      It’s pretty safe to be an NPC in thr Elder Scrolls as long as you aren’t important or interesting and you’re polite to adventurers.

        I held off the dragons till I did everything else because I got so annoyed with them killing townspeople in Skyrim.

        Morrowind taught me to take over some asshole dark elf’s house in Seyda Neen, and powelevel all my skills to 100 before I left the first town so that a random cliff racer, or kwarma forager didn’t take out me and any random NPC around me.

        Oblivion, beeline to Anvil, buy the house, and again just max out all my skills. Mostly so that the random encounters didn’t kill me. I don’t remember having issues keeping NPCs alive in that one.

        I’m entirely uncertain that any of us normal non magicka wielding randos would survive long in any of the most interesting times of mundus.

          Yeah something like the Oblivion Crisis would be tough on the commoners. But if I could just chill in Vivec City or even Whiterun for most of history it’s pretty safe.

    There is one animated meme making the rounds now, posing the question on whether viewers would want a bucolic near-communist solarpunk future where everyone is happy and has their needs met, or a 40k future of massive mechs that can level entire cities on their own.

    I say: why not both?

    Crunchy outer shell of 40k that is just enough for a healthy defence of humanity, 90+% gooey solarpunk interior that gives everyone else a psychologically healthy and comfortable life.

    Well, depending on where and when in the story I land in Eorzea, it can be a nice and boring existence, one where I get to see all the famous heroes of the age from all across the realm, or a painfully short one.

    My favorite universe is Star Wars. Pretty sure we’re already on track to be fighting an evil empire soon enough, just without the cool spaceships.

    Personal spaceships commonly available?

    Lots of unusual, but generally friendly aliens?

    The Space Dandyverse wouldn’t be too horrid.

    I think I’d be pretty screwed. I’d most likely be living in some remote, forgotten village, trying to eke out enough of a living to pay the local lord for the privilege, while trying to avoid my home being raided by Aiel, or Seanchan, or Dragonsworn, or one of the other dozen armies roaming the countryside. Or maybe I’d be serving in one of those armies, fodder for the front lines, going up against enemies with no qualms about using the One Power for killing.

    There’s a tiny, remote chance that I could be studying in one of the schools in Cairhien or Caemlyn, trying to push technology out of the dark ages, which would be pretty cool. But that still comes with the risk of being a target of Darkfriends and the Forsaken, which is less cool.
