    I don’t know if I’d be better or worse off than pokémon fans.

    No phone, no computer, end of the world being neigh, monsters roaming the land, but living in an idyllic cute little town where none of that happens, so I’d surely be fine.

    Although I would probably get sick of hearing the towns people saying the same over and over again real quick and get jealous of not being able to do magic like some of the heroes.

    The mext that comes to mind is life expectency. Will I get old? I don’t see a lot old people in my favorite fictional world.

    They have cups of wishes which revives other players, so I’d have to make some friends there and I’m probably set for life.

    Oh, and medical herbs that cure any illness would be awesome to cure the ones I have.

    And I could restore my health by eating candy and chocolate all day.

    … Unless I will live in that other fictional world, in which case I would say there’s a whole of that going on… with the protagonist… except for that one world but the women there are weird… on second thought I’ll stick with my fictional game world.

    Unfortunately if that were the case we are still many years from discovering the Epstein drive. Still having to deal with the oligarchy and shit conditions unless you are the 1%

    My favorite fiction still isn’t good for most people, Hard Sci Fi.

      If only he’d had a little more time to continue his research.

    For selfish reasons, I’d pick Love and Deepspace so I can frolick through time and space with 5 (soon to be 6) different boyfriends, hunting wanderers with superpowers.

    Hard to say my favorite fictional verse, but let’s say Mega Man.

    Since I’m not a robot, let alone say Mega Man or Zero or other protagonist, I’m pretty much either going to live a boring ordinary life or I’m going to live an interesting life in a bad way.

      Love to be governed by an undead theocracy that persists through the deliberate cycling of apocolyptic events, because they’ve got 3D underwater volleyball in the capital.

    40K is actually a brighter universe than our real life one. The Emperor might just win and make some sort of heaven on Terra for humanity, becoming a techpriest can make you immortal, there is an actual afterlife and source of free energy.

    Meanwhile, we are doomed to be captured and tortured by Rocko’s Basilisk in real life, and the universe is doomed to repeat in cruel cycles.

    We have been here before.

      I disagree. The Imperium of Man is basically slowly inching towards its downfall with corpse starch (i.e. ground up corpses) being a common food for hive cities and the Inquisition being an ever looming threat for the populace. Not to mention that if you ever have have the misfortune of being near anything Chaos-y, you are often greeted by the Ordo Hereticus before your life is snuffed out. And considering that Belisarius Cawl frantically fell into prayer when confronted by a powerful AI core of old does show that the Adeptus Mechanicus are far from their power way back when, let alone any promise of immortality for the masses.

      Psychic blanks have it even worse, as they might not even be connected to the warp, meaning they might just fade into nonexistence after their death. And overall, being a Chaos Worshipper isn’t that great as well, as most citicem are not treated well, not to mention that the ruinous powers will slowly drive you insane as well.

      Last but not least is that the end of the whole 40K in-universe might be overall crawling to an end, as the Tyranids might be unstoppable by organic beings (apart from possibly the Orks), so it might be that the universe-wide apocalypse is slowly inching closer, leaving only the Necrons behind after the Tyranids seek out the next galaxy to devour.

      I’d rather choose the old boring life here in this universe any day over the one from 40K.

        Because the people who came up with it assume it would have the same ego as them.
        It’s also just Pascal’s wager in a robot costume.

            The reason all the weird “rationalists” are worried by roko’s basilisk is because it basically uses all of their dumb arguments for friendly AI against them.

            So in the course of realizing why it’s wrong, a bunch of cultists either end up deprogramming themselves, or they just have a breakdown and go murder their landlord.

        I’m just saying to make it clearer. Really what I mean is, the ruling monsters will want to claim us completelly, and violate us in every way for eternity (and not in a sexy way either).
