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

64

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

16

Include computercraft and you can set up a connection back to the real world!

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

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.

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

"Here's $1000 for this basket of fruit and the couch you found on your walk in the woods!"

Add internet access to travel to other islands and you get a pretty decent social life. The coffee shop is pretty chill too.

I'm fine being a Disney Princess and hanging out with the animals. Brewster is definitely a bro, though.

Just the pigeon milk is a bit disturbing when you find out it's actually a thing.

3

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.

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?

20

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

9

Depends. Do I get cheat codes? If so, GTA:V. Get an awesome pad, planes, cars, helicopters. Can go on a rampage if I want or play games (golf, bowling, etc) and then just wipe it all away by dropping my wanted status to zero.

Cyberpunk. Lots to do, and ostensibly all the other video games in VR.

Well yes but if you get to be the protagonist, aka the winner in a world of only winners and losers, that's fine. I'm sure I wouldn't hate capitalism as much if I were filthy rich and a beneficent of the system

lemmy.zip

Well if you are becoming V, then yes it sucks either way. But V isn't exactly filthy rich, they are just some random merc decked out in cyberware. I was more thinking being someone like the arasakas. Or some other nepotism profiteer living the good life

2

Meh, even so, do you really wanna be Saburo? Watching your back constantly, watching your kids vie for your seat waiting for you to croak, seeking eternal life through different bodies as some microchip construct knowing basically anyone would smash that shit to bits if they felt they could get away with it to gain power.

It doesn't sound that great to me either because I'm not sure even a normal, finite life in such a world isn't too much already.

If I had to be someone I'd prefer to be a nomad living out in the desert with my fam, somewhat isolated, rely on each other, far away from corporations and their wars.

Or maybe I'd be a celebrity living in North Oak like Kerry, but even then, there's a good chance some cyberpsycho guns you down while you're out on the town in your snazzy new Caliburn to buy a latte, at last some brief relief from that one fucking ad with the dude screaming.

2

To be honest the one ::: spoiler from phantom liberty Where V gets cured of the Relic by NUSA, especially if you just ignore V's stupidity in trying to go back to Night City for some reason even though if you're a nomad she would've only been there for like a few months total and actually imagine her being a semi-developed 23 year old adult who'd make the rational choice of just staying in DC in a cushy job away from the madness. ::: is pretty good.

1

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?

4

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.

I was just joking that a battleship class vessles is sometimes referred to as a science and exploration vessel by The Federation

That's fair. I'm relying on The Federation's technophilia to give you a technological wedgie 5/6 times, and leave you wondering what the heck I just did. 😆

And you might eventually die, after you have become a fallen empire yourself, and get stomped by some next level crisis, while the AI empires are less than useless. I consider this a plus though. Eternity is a very long time, and boredom is a very strong emotion. No game could keep me entertained for eternity.

pawb.social

I'm imagining that "living in the game" implies something a bit more personal than the game interfaces. So I'd get to attend decadent high-society events, travel around and see the worlds under my domain, meet interesting aliens, have an affair with the fungoid president of planet AZ-12-69 (...)

I mean sure, you're right, I would eventually get my shit wrecked by an endgame crisis and things would go very tits up for my space empire. I'm not that good at Stellaris, just sorta okay, and something tells me that not having the birds' eye view that the game gives you would make the strategising even harder.

... But it is also worth taking into account that we can go beyond the interactions the game allows, so boredom would take quite a bit longer to set in.

2

Rush Titans, make a Behemoth Planetcraft or five, or just one Systemcraft. Even the Blokkats can't handle that level of firepower. The fleet power isn't a number anymore. Just a white skull

Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom. It has its downsides, such as Ganon and monsters existing, but then there are beautifully desolate environments like Akkala and Tabantha Frontier. Magic exists, and if the going gets tough we always have Link to rely on! I'd like to be a Rito so I could fly around...

11

Also there's a town of beautiful women where crossdressing is mandatory for men to even gain entry.

Also, giant fairy ladies and dragons. And koroks. And delicious food.

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

Buncha queers in here or something SMH.

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

10

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

10

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.

Darn. Soooo anyone want to join me as the right panel? I got cookies.

Guild Wars 2

Magic, dragons, numerous animal mounts plus a few flying ones, air ships (think blimps), multiple climates.

Continuous resurrecting.

Lots of gold.

Several types of sentient creatures.

Edit: I would assume that since it would last forever, that means the gaming servers would run forever. I would also assume that would mean we would more and more expansion packs more maps, more creatures more things to do, improved graphics. It would take you a really, really long time to walk from one side of the map to the other. Can you imagine how much stuff there would be to do inside that game.? And since NPC’s can talk to player characters (and player characters can talk to other players) that means I could talk to people outside the game. This would be kind of cool.

8

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

Fallout: New Vegas, baby.

If I don't have to worry about dying irl, living in the Mojave would be a dream. Infinite reloads and I can quicksave before I do anything.

Plus, the amount of mods that exist for that game would let me redefine reality whenever it gets boring. And, if we include TTW, I have the Capital Wasteland to explore as well. Catch me kicking it back in the Lucky 38, occasionally running out to eliminate some Fiends for fun.

Honestly though, if we're talking about vanilla NV.... Nahhh I'd still go for it. Time to finally get all those star bottle caps!

lemmy.world

.... Wat

It's literally a post apocalyptic death zone.

So you really want to live in a desert with no ac and clean water forever?

2
lemmy.blahaj.zone

You can't die, so it's just a post-apocalyptic zone, and really not even that with the different states moving in. There's AC and plenty of clean water, too.

1
lemmy.world

You can definitely die in New Vegas. Like, a lot. Just try taking the shortcut instead of the long way around your next playthrough.

1
lemmy.blahaj.zone

It'll play out like my last 5 playthroughs: a couple smacks from a deathclaw and I'm at Benny's doorstep in 10 minutes.

Don't even have to level Stealth, just have to stick close to Neil's Shack.

😂😂😂

But I am that E.A.

Pretty sure the condition of the post was we're immortal irl anyway, best believe I'm abusing quicksave regardless

As much as I love New Vegas, I think I'm going to have to pick 4. I read this as having to live in the game engine as-is, and 4 let's me build my own house. So, if I'm stuck in a game for eternity, I want to be able to have my own space.

2

I thought about that, but I'd rather have some nice, premade spaces than have to build my home out of garbage every time.

lemmy.world

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).

TES was literally my first thought, and I just entered the thread and yours is the first comment I've seen.

So, you're not alone :)

However, Oblivion features a pretty small map - if Cyrodiil would be expanded proportionately to Skyrim or Morrowind and some content added, that would be great.

I guess I was thinking of the geographical map of Tamriel and not accounting for the technical limitations of the game compared to Skyrim. Good point.

2

Infinity Nikki 😅

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

6

Going to be cheeky and say Daggerfall.

That way I can live through the other TES games.

6

I posted in the other thread - Elite Dangerous, but the version with all the options the players have asked for for a decade. Sandbox play where I can fly wherever, do some exploring and trading, maybe a bit of combat (because players don't die as long as they have an account balance).

6

I'd say Pokemon, but after reading the recent leaks, I'm not so sure anymore

5
eviltoast.org

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.

5

Assuming that to me the game world becomes real and isn't limited to the same path that the video game forces the player to go through, I would probably pick one of the Dungeons & Dragons games like Planescape or at worst something like Curse of the Azure bonds.

4
lemmy.world

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.

4

So just pick a game with permanent death if you get existential dread about living forever.

1

Doom. I'd make an adorable Cacodaemon and by the nature of Doom, I will be everywhere, blasted across the universe as programmers port me to anything that can oscillate between a high and low signal level.

4

spiritfarer.

I don't know if I would take that as the only option, but if I had to choose a game, roaming around beautiful landscapes with great music and helping recently departed spirits conclude their journeys on my farm boat sounds like a pretty good way to spend the next era until the next consciousness transference method comes along.

3

Source engine. I know it isn't a game but they can share maps resources and etc. So you have pretty much a world to explore and possibly scans of the real world.

3
lemmy.world

Dwarf Fortress. It's the most earth-like simulation out there. While also being a great fantasy type game.

3

Considering the deaths the average Dwarf in my last fortress suffered. I ain't touching DF with a ten-foot pole.

A deadly dust forgotton beast broke into the fort through a forgotten cavern access. My military quickly killed it; but before they could step into the Dwarven Bath to rinse off the dust 2/3rds of my fortress was dying of a total body necrotic rot.

1

STALKER. I'd be miserable, but I spend so much time in the Zone already.

Or maybe Stardew Valley if I want to be happy.

Please do not misunderstand my question, I’m not judging whatsoever but I’m genuinely curious what the appeal is of this game. I bought it when I came out, I recently redownloaded it, I played for probably 20 hours total and I just don’t get it. Is it the absurdity? I want to love it I just don’t understand it. I’ve been meaning to ask in the Discords but I’m a bit of a coward.

2

I mostly play JRPGs so I was in the same boat as you a while ago, I got to like the game after my girlfriend fell in love with it, making versions of the people you know and then overseeing their actions and the whackiness that ensues is pretty fun.

3

One of those games where the server is shut down without any player-hosted options. Fuck immortality, I want out.

3
lemmy.world

Probably Disney Dreamlight Valley or Zelda:BotW.

Definitely not Dragon Age or Game of Thrones.

Choosing BotW and not TotK is wild. You wanna get lasered by guardians for eternity?

2

Not only that, but the sky islands are gorgeous, and you have access to tons of cool machine parts.

I would be perfectly content living through eternity in the comfort of Hateno Village

1

That's such a hard choice.

Mabinogi would be great just keep on grinding forever sounds great plus fun fantasy world to run around in cute fashion.

But then I can also do the same thing in Minecraft plus I get to creat insane redstone builds.

2

Assuming I don't die, I think it'd be fun to travel throughout the World of Twelve in the MMORPG Dofus. It wouldn't be nearly as fun as visiting the world as seen in the animated Wakfu show or the spin-off, but at least I could meet Kerubin and be an Ecaflip.

Otherwise, I have absolutely no idea what game I'd wanna be stuck in because after a long time I'd get bored of just about every game, Dofus included. Though, I assume by the time I start getting real bored of living in Dofus that the servers would be totally gone.

2

Sarcastic Response - one of the GTA Games. Preferably GTA4 for my own 2000s nostalgia reasons. Why? Because its the closest thing to life as we knew it before real life started surpassing the absurdity of the GTA Universe

Serious Response - I cant think of any one game I'd want to spend an eternity in right now, so I'll cop out with an "MMO". Probably Second Life. Yeah its full of freaks but you can create stuff and interact with people. Excuse me while I retire into my doom fortress on the original "metaverse"
