Spira would be okay as long as I avoid living anywhere Sin would attack.
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.
Off to Azeroth? Could be okay …
I get to live in Eorzea? Sounds awesome!
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.
i never really “got” Rocko’s Basilisk. why would it want to kill you for not building it in the first place?
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.Roko’s Basilisk pisses me off so much.
It takes very little actual thought to see what it fails as a premise.
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.
Don’t dare mention it !
I wonder if the Monster Hunter food will cure my aching back enough to let me lift a Charge Blade
Given the fact that 40k lore goes back to the present day and before that (the emperor as an immortal being exists way before the 21. Century), there’s a lot of room between you basically live in the same situation as before (just with a living emperor in your timeline) and you’re very much fucked (living in the 41. Millennium)
I’d imagine the jackpot would be waking up in the Dark Age of Technology.
Most soul crushing would have to be waking up as part of the Interex as they discover the Imperium.
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.
Pathologic.
Im capital ‘F’ Fucked.
Stardew Valley! I’m gonna marry Leah for sure
More likely you never see the valley and are stuck in the city the PC starts in, or the war Jodi’s hubby is in for the first year.
Yeah, it was either Stardew Valley or Witcher 3 for me. (I wouldn’t last 5 minutes in Velen).
