How screwed are you?

I can’t wait to visit Starfleet Medical to get my back and stomach fixed, live in a post scarcity utiopia, see other worlds, and study whatever I want.

EDIT: I think the worst thing will be contemplating the metaphysics of transporters. But maybe I’ll just never take one.

My own meme and it applies here.
Lmao I'd be off to requisition a runabout lolol fuck this planet lmao
- I’d find some small tropical moon and set up orbital defenses
Really depends on the time period though. There were quite a few unpleasantries even in that universe. Klingon War, Dominion War, Borg,...
Ok, Bones
Anyone care to join me at the Holodeck, I have a vampire & werewolves novel... XD

Factorio.

I'm fucked, because I'm also terrible at optimizing my factory

Nah its cool factorio guy doesn't HAVE to leave.
No pollution, no biters.
Very doable.
Just find an island, 100 stone for 2 landfill, and get to the island by picking up a landfill behind you and placing it in front of you.
You have eternity, so take trips off your island to mine things by hand, craft things by hand, etc.
Eternity awaits.
- Yeah the only thing stopping you is the laws of physics which are seemingly different here. This could work.
- I'm pretty sure you can't pick up landfill without mods.
Counterpoint
This planet is unprocessed, and I will be the one to refine it. The Factory Must Grow.
- I don't know shit about factorio really but this is still really funny and I feel like I understand it more now and it makes me wish even more that I liked playing it
You only have to optimize the factory enough to protect yourself. If you can progress faster than the biters, you're probably fine.

LOTR. Entirely depends on when and where I show up

... as Shelobs sex-slave hopefully ...

SCP fan

Me as a fallout fan, probably longer than I should lol

Considering how fast I died by rats in the original, I'm fucked.
- That was me on 7 days to die. My ass! More like 20 mins to die.

Cyberpunk 2077. But I don't have to wonder about it. Its happening already.

At least Cyberpunk got joy girls and working cybernetics. We get Gilead and cyber trucks that short out from a car wash.

Discworld's fine by me.

I feel like my life would t be any different. I’d be a wizzard with an annoying job dealing with people who don’t understand magic and all the familial obligations.
I’d be fine, which is nice, but I’d just be me in another universe.
Maybe I’d be longing for a less weird universe. And that makes me sad.
So I guess I would t like to live in Discworld universe. I wouldn’t be the wyrdest person there.
- Well, if you're a wizzard, then you probably can't spell (that's the joke)
- Would you be working with Hex?
Came here to say this.
It get a job with Moist Von Lipwig and learn all I could
Just don't call the librarian an M-word and stay off the streets of Ankh Morpork at night.
- Need to be careful during the day, as well. And no eating Dibbler's sausages!
Their university leadership are slightly more coherent than mine - I'll take that life.

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

no cooking
Being turned into a Gorn breeding sack? Kinda into it
I am confident we will get there. Have faith.
- Of the heart?
- I don't know. It seems that it is going towards the Star Wars universe though.

Eve online

Very screwed

Avoid the null zones and be a peaceful asteroid miner? Oh, and try to make enough to pay some mercs. Just in case
- I'd be fine as a capsuleer but the odds of being a normal human in that universe are astronomically high.

Me as a drunken dwarf risking my life so the company I work for gets more money: Rock and stone!

Rock and roll and stone!
- Stonie Hawk is that you?
For Karl!
Sometimes I wonder if moving dirt and shooting bugs is a good way to make a living...

I'm definitely dead the moment the Vogons destroy Earth to make room for a hyperspace bypass.

You never know, you could turn out to be the most important person in the universe. Happened to me once, you know. Wouldn't recommend it.
Not if you befriend an undercover alien writing for The Guide!
You might just end up on the replacement Earth without the dolphins.

Each zelda game is wildly different when it comes to the state of the world so i can't say for sure. All i know is i need to protect my pots from that maniac in green

+1 for Zelda fan. But just be pot seller and you're set for life.
Hide a chicken in one of the pots, never have trouble with that maniac again.
Just leave the area and come back to your pots being respawned. Infinite money glitch
You'll cease to exist when the Wind Fish gets woken up.

So... Do I stay as I am or do I become a pony when I end up in Equestria? 🤔

Cum, let's do some friendship!
There's no shortage of fanfic about either option, last time I checked (circa 2012)
- Oh I know that much. I'm still on fimfiction.net 😂 it's just nice to have clarification as to what kind of fic I'm going to end up in 😂

Elder Scrolls... So here's hoping I land somewhere in Cyrodiil with a long gap in between major catastrophic events.

I'd be living in Solitude.
- I always liked Falkreath. I was born on a full moon though, so I'd probably fit in just fine.

My favorite fictional universe is Star Trek, but right now I'm really into The Expanse and that's probably more interesting.

Keng mi luck mi gonya kom sif wabelta nakángego ere setashan dédeya wowk tumal wit rashang ereluf unte owkwa showxa kewe mi livit suck da big felota. Kowltim tenye luck pashang mal. Unte nawang pochuye mi fo mi belta so mal.

I am a trekie too. I only hope to not get reincarnated on one of the planets that got razed to the ground for backgroundstory.
Additionally it could be devastating for the federation if one trekkie gets assimilated by borg
- What if you are reincarnated as the crystalline entity?

Brandon Sanderson's cosmere. Kinda even chances between being instantly killed, enslaved, selling my soul to make a living or being stuck in the same office job I already have, but this time I'm Magneto.

Of all the worlds we've seen, when and where would you prefer to be put, assuming you have the same likelihood as a random person to have access to the magic system)?
I would probably want to be put on either Sel (specifically the area with soul stamps from the emperor's soul, since that's the only magic I can think of that everyone can use) or the world from Yumi and the nightmare painter (since that's just a relatively normal near-modern city).
- That's a tough question. Nalthis would be cool - technically, anyone there can Awaken as well, as long as you accumulate enough Breaths, which also give you cool passive bonuses. But also I want to see magic powered spaceships, and we don't have enough books set in late eras yet.
- It’s a really shitty decision but I’d probably go for the shattered plains pre-Alethi, I absolutely love the vibes of the chasms and exploring with esshondai sounds fun. Just gotta remember to gtfo before dalinar shows up for the second time and hope I don’t get murked by a salty ancestor looking for a meat suit
Good news! You appear as adult Feruchemist with full metalminds. Bad news, you've just been kidnapped by a bunch of Steel Inquisitors.
- To be fair, with full steel and Fortune, good luck reacting or predicting where I'll be in the next second.
- With full steel and iron, and knowledge of the lynchpin spike, you might be able to take them all out before running out, depending on how much steel you have.
Yea, I'm on Roahar. Time to find out how hot men's food really is!

You mean I get to love on the Discworld on the backs of 4 giant elephants on the back of a cosmic turtle?

HELL YEAH!

Pokemon seems awful

Ever present terrorism, most towns don’t have food

Animal attacks are more common and dangerous

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.
Ever present terrorism
No one said you couldn't join them
- I guess I hate ugly people enough to join Flare
That doesn't sound that bad
The anime version seemed pretty nice. I actually got pretty depressed for a few days when I was a kid and realized I would never live in that world.

It's nice to see how many of yall are quick with whatever your favorite fictional universe is..

I have never put much thought into one I'd deem as a favorite. I like a lot of games, shows, books, and such.. But I don't think I'd be able to pick just one.

Multiverse it is.
Crucially, you don't automatically get to travel the multiverse. You just know it exists now.

Helldivers...

Sounds of sweet liber-tea

Adventure Time so basically the plot of the Fionna and Cake series (which I highly recommend)

plot of the Fionna and Cake series
The what now‽‽‽‽
- It's on max :) DM if you need either a link to watch whatever or have questions

I'm an old man in D&D? Yeah, I'm dead

You could always sell your soul to an archfey or something
Personally I would be the strongest cleric under Lliira
Which is far less of a problem in D&D

Pokemon fans: 40k Fans Americans:

Yeah, not sure, Pokemon fans would be as excited, once they're there. They could have basically their universe, if they just organize a dogfighting league and they don't do that.

...I hope.

Dogfighting of sentient beings. Some of which have the capacity for human speech. All of which show clear signs of experiencing pain. Some of which can have full conversation with you and speak intelligently. Yeah, that's who you're sending in for your personal blood sports. Pocket Monsters indeed. Not the creatures. You, the "trainer".
- Tbf, the vast majority of these creatures are significantly more powerful than humans, and many significantly smarter. They seem perfectly okay with it. I mean hell, you can capture and battle with Poke-God himself. I like to think of it more like a sport all pokemon love or some shit than Pal World-type slavery.
- Nah it's okay, they're taken care of in the stasis of the ball. What does taken care of mean? Well, they're in stasis, so technically they don't have any needs to meet, so they're totally fine. What is stasis? It's like being frozen, like cryostasis, but not like that. No, of course they're not fully aware of every agonizing second of blackness! Wait, I mean, they're aware, but not able to actually think or feel anything, and they can't even talk so it's not like they're complaining. Some of them are complaining? Fuck idk. ...are we the baddies?
  Jk that's not supported by canon. Well, the bit at the end about self awareness anyways. [I realized after writing this last sentence immediately before this that it could kind of refer to either the Pokémon's self awareness or the self awareness of the person exploiting the Pokémon. I will not be correcting it to clarify which I meant]
- “AITE I’M IN!”

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

Stardew you'd at least be fucked in the good way. I mean, just look at Mayor Louis and Marnie
- what are your thoughts on Abigail?
- Nope. You'd most likely be stuck in the city the player escaped from, or the war that Jodi's hubby is in in the first year.
- Because of your username, are you familiar with Derail Valley Simulator? It's an excellent locomotive simulator.
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.

Fallout. I'm dead before I realize where I am.

The game was rigged from the start...
- Ring a ding ding

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

SCP fan. I'm fucked.

Oh dude. I hadn't even considered SCP. At least you might meet Alan Wake. Never played the games, but I assume he's an interesting guy if he lives in that universe, and has survived multiple games.
- I haven't played the games either, tbh I didn't even know there were games.
  I've been reading SCP's for probably over 15 years now though, with varying levels of obsession with it during that time. There is so much lore and interconnectedness now, seeing it grow from just a few stories was incredible.

Safest bet is to be a child in Skyrim.

Not sure if there's any mods left on the main sites to make them killable.

Pretty sure there is
- There probably are, but a lot of the big ones pulled the plug due to some very unwanted side effects.

Morrowind for me. If I could get past being killed by stray crabs I think I could settle down pretty well somewhere. As long as I don't get too involved in anything that seems world-endy...

I would just sit by the lake, enjoying the rain ripples on the water, and listen to the soundtrack.

Well I'm either getting raped by a deathclaw, get to exist in the same universe as Dagoth Ur, or WELCOME TO ESTALIA GENTLEMEN!

I'm fucked regardless so ya might as well send me in with those backed by Faith, Steel, and Gunpowder!

get to exist in the same universe as Dagoth Ur,
MFW Dagoth Ur isn't dead yet
- Kill a god? How could you kill a god, what a grand and intoxicating innocence.

Various flavors of high fantasy -> probably very dead very quickly unless I gain magic abilities once I'm in-universe.

I don't think I have a favorite universe - especially not if I get to live as a regular person. I think I'd pick Elder Scrolls

Westeros. So pretty screwed unless it's Dorne or maybe Highgarden.

Shrek fans transforming into (fireproof?) asses ...

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.

The wheel weaves as the wheel wills.

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.

Yeah, but... Might get a shot at Rosamund Pike.
- Personally I'm more interested in Taylor Napier. Or maybe both of them at the same time 🤔

I love Cyberpunk 2077 but since I'm German I might be mostly okay

Great. Me and the brown coats floating like a leaf on the wind...

Depending on when you arrive, it could all just be a wash......

You know, I'd be alright as a pegasus

Though living in the utopian society that is the United Federation of Planets would be nice too

I don't know if I'd want to live in the UFP. Post-dominion war (and during it) it gets a bit dystopian. And of the time periods depicted, there's only a pretty narrow window where they're not at war with at least one major power. Specifically after the khitomer accords are signed and prior to the encounter with the Borg. So, really only a 70 year period. And even then, there's a cold war with the Romulans.
That galaxy is largely hostile and while a lot of UFP citizens are able to live in blissful ignorance, I'm not sure I'd enjoy that.
- I’m on season 6 of DS9. I remember thinking about how fucked up it was that Sisko

Outer Wilds. I'd have all of 22 minutes to enjoy it before death.

But you may have those 22 minutes, forever, if you are lucky.
- That's not lucky at all.
  As eventually those 22 minutes have to end in order for something new to happen with a hope for a better universe that you do not see but but witness its creation if you are lucky.
  If you are lucky your actions lead to others' happiness and fulfilling lives. Not keep yourself around needlessly extended.

Looks like me and the homies are getting stuck in the Lethal Company universe. We're probably fine. Unless we work for The Company, then we're fucked.

Berserk 💀

i hope I'm fit for starfleet.

There's always the Space Janitorial Service.
- > PUT GEM IN MOUTH

Geoguessr.

Ok.

the reapers coming to make nearly all life extinct?

ah yes, "the reapers". sorry honey, I don't believe that nonsense. not screwed at all. life's pretty good in this universe.

I'm good. I mean, there's a hell portal right next to a certain town in the countryside, but even the demons of this world are more "asshole characters and weird animals" than actual-ACTUAL-demons. Plus they seem to have completely handled issues of poverty and such by taming all of nature with magic, even if they still use money and have jobs. Less 'socialism' and more 'post-scarcity society, but with magic instead of tech'.

.... I'm talking about Equestria from Gen 4 My Little Pony by the way.

....... Then again ponies are like SUUUUPER racist, so if I end up there as a human, I think I'd be experimented on.

With a bit of twisting you get diablo1/2 universe
- .... For real?
  I was a child that didn't understand english when I played Diablo, so I'm willing to take it at face value but like.
  For real?

…NieR.

So either I die rather quickly or live in a world of lasting sorrow and decay with short bursts of beauty doomed to fail. But at least I can be philosophical about it, right?

Glorious android ass.
- Perhaps the last thing I see before it slices me into pieces.
  That or a Shade, a Replicant, a Machine, a Dragon, a Logic Virus, Kainé…

The Matrix.

Pretty fucking screwed.

Huh, nothing changed...
Weird, I guess.

I'll be allright, it is just a small silly ring that I have to throw in a burning mountain. That is surrounded by orcs and other evil beings. While the ring is fighting against me and giving me supernatural powers.

Oh and no pressure, only the whole world will be destroyed and everything I know and love will be gone too.

Yea, Lord of the rings. I'm screwed...

You're way more likely to be a random civilian pressed into service to defend Minas Tirith, if that helps.
- I'm dead anyway. But thanks, it may increase my odds slightly.

as a UC Gundam fan

Jupiter seems to escape most of the world-shattering events.
- Yeah but those Jovians are bit extreme

Thing is, unless you live in the core worlds in any time period, and even then a relatively rich part of the core worlds, your life is gonna be pretty shitty in Star Wars. The Outer Rim is notoriously shit for anyone living there. Naboo might be nice, or Alderaan if you can actually find a place to live there and pick the right time period, so basically a couple decades before the prequels.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

It very much depends.

The factory must grow!

My favorite fictional universe is The Culture. I think I'm going to be alright lol.

I just hope we're born in Culture space, rather than one of the less...forward thinking societies.
Also plot twist: our universe is the Culture universe, we just haven't made contact yet. I think it was shown in State of the Art
- The State of the Art and Excession are the two I haven't gotten my hands on yet. I'm reading Matter right now and am consistently blown away by how forward thinking the author is. All of his work holds up so well.

I'd probably be all right, Tyria looks nice this time of year. At least as long as the Charr play along.

You're now in the middle of the brand.

Would I be a slugcat or an ancient? Rain World

Ss14. Shit

Space Station 14? The fact you specified 14 instead of 13 gives me hope that it's making good progress.
- It's pretty good, check it out on steam!

Fallout is shitty but doable, I like the idea of rebuilding society and I like the technology.

That said, with he new show lore, if VaultTec is able to just keep nuking things that sprout up then ig it's pointless.

I'll welcome living in 40K universe to this bullshit.

You're technically already in the 40k universe, just really far back in the past
- How long until America is ruled by a corpse on a golden throne, though?
- Killing vermins could be fun......

The Pokemon fan is probably thinking about catching Ditto and making it turn into every person they find attractive.

If it's a furry they might go for Vaporeon.

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.

Can I suddenly be a Star Trek fan?

no.
I don't make the rules, sorry.
Go one better. Iain Banks' Culture.

It is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth, and yet it may lift up your hearts.

Everyone looks partially cartoony and keep talking about a vault.

And the damn neighbour has some weird mutant dog.

And the damn neighbour has some weird mutant dog.
Scrappy is goddamn precious

Mass effect... As long as I'm not on a far away colony close to Terminus / Batarians and the reapers aren't there yet I'm good 👌

Mass effect too. Kinda scary with all the collectors, man eating bugs 🥲

Personal spaceships commonly available?

Lots of unusual, but generally friendly aliens?

The Space Dandyverse wouldn't be too horrid.

certain periods of time in Middle Earth could suck a little bit. I'd love to hang out in valinor during the years of the trees tho.

You would still be human, so you wouldn't be allowed there. Númenor before Sauron's shenanigans would be awesome though.

We are watching the Sprawl Series come to fruition as we’ll speak in real time. Very Screwed…

Good if you want to buy 4MB of stolen ram, however.

At the moment, that would either be Bofuri or Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear. As long as I don't make an enemy out of the indestructible girl in black armor/a bear costume, I should be just fine.

Cosmere time! Give me all of that Investiture!

I'll just pick a light-hearted high fantasy setting with casual reality warping...

Gotta be one of those

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, so I would do okay, depending on the tribe I lived with and staying away from killer robots.

Springfield here I come

Just don't kick a giant mouse in the butt and you'll be fine. Otherwise, you'll become a political prisoner.

Good thing I don't really have a favorite fictional universe... that I did not make myself...

Where do I get my Gundam?

Can I still play OSRS Mobile if I'm stuck in RuneScape? If not, I'm screwed

Fear and hunger; At least let me be one of the atrocities serving one of the mad gods

Half-Life

Actually just fully fucked.

It'd be fine. I'm a Star Wars geek.

Your destination... Alderan ...
- Good. I've got nothing else to worry about. :)

Joke's on you. I'm into the grim darkness of eternal war! Lol

I'm going to search for the beached Lookfar. If memory serves, it was abandoned on Selidor, just past the Dragons' Run

Project Moon universe.

Either I'm out in whatever hellscape the outskirts look like or I'm dying in the backstreets.

Researcher on project Async.... I hope.

Nice invincible verse

People on Archer seem extra durable. As long as the main cast stays far far away should be great.

Well, it is none of these lame ones posted.

It'll be all fun and games until I go hollow

Oof. After the bombshell in the most recent Bobiverse book, sort of fucked in a few thousand years. But I’m sure the Bobs will sort it out.

I haven't read it yet, but I want to get to it soon
- It’s a bit silly, but such a fun series. Wish I could live in that world.
