How screwed are you?

I'm excited to see if I can channel. Of course, the reds will try to kill me if I succeed... but still worth a shot!

Pokemon fans can go to dog fighting to understand why they might not be as happy as they think. Also imagine that some of the dogs can electrocute, burn and drown other dogs. Also, sometimes they put a chihuahua against a great dane.

Pokemon fans: 40k Fans Americans:
- Dropping Mr Bean in there is genius.

Half-Life
Actually just fully fucked.

The factory must grow!

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 consider the Borg to be a goal, not a problem.
  
  I am introvert. I cannot even imagine having people mind connected 🤣
- 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.

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.

Can I suddenly be a Star Trek fan?
- no.
  I don't make the rules, sorry.
- Go one better. Iain Banks' Culture.

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

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.
- Oh... Can I change my answer? I wanna be in Star Trek, too.
  
  monkey's paw finger curls
  (It's the Section 31 movie universe)
  If there were no jackass genie or monkey's paw shenanigans, I'd want to go to the Lower Decks universe specifically.
- 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
- Anyone care to join me at the Holodeck, I have a vampire & werewolves novel... XD
- Really depends on the time period though. There were quite a few unpleasantries even in that universe. Klingon War, Dominion War, Borg,...

Pokemon seems awful
Ever present terrorism, most towns don’t have food
Animal attacks are more common and dangerous
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
  
  Not up to date on pokemon lore by a longshot but iirc Jessey and James are actually just nice people who really like pokemon and do their jobs badly on purpose.
- 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

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

SCP fan

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

Life in the Discworld wouldn't be so bad, most people seem to have an OK life.
- Unless you are poor and in Ankh-Morpork...
  
  @Phoenicianpirate
  Depens on the guild I guess?
  @Ilovethebomb

I'm an old man in D&D? Yeah, I'm dead
- Which is far less of a problem in D&D
- You could always sell your soul to an archfey or something
  Personally I would be the strongest cleric under Lliira

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.

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.

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.

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.

LOTR. Entirely depends on when and where I show up
- You're a ring on a chain around the neck of a Hobbit.
  
  Well then it'll take divine intervention to kill me
- Congratulations, you're born as a mighty Uruk-Hai warrior! In the distance you hear trees yelling
- ... as Shelobs sex-slave hopefully ...

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.

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.

I'll just pick a light-hearted high fantasy setting with casual reality warping...
Gotta be one of those

Dark Souls/Elden Ring
It's not like I can die so it's not that bad. It's worse.
- Elden Ring is the world that is entirely devoid of hope, where many golden eras are all long past like millennia ago. There maybe another golden era coming, but it could just be a gilded age.
  
  Melina has hope, and gives reasons for it if you talk to her down near the three fingers but before you interact with them. There's just no hope of the status quo ever being fixed.
  
  FromSoft fans who have been around since Kingfield in the late 90s: "always has been" (because from hit gold with the old and decaying fantasy world with dwindling hope in its inhabitants atmospheric vibe and keep reusing it)
- I would totally retire to Majula, pet the kitty, befriend the blacksmiths daughter.

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.

Geoguessr.
Ok.
- Is it fictional tho?
- Dementia simulator

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.

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.
- Just stop channeling until they
  
  But yea, without modern technology, I'd actually have to go outside? And talk to people? 😱
- 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 🤔

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.

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
  
  I mean, immigration within the Federation is free, right? Just move to Earth. Earth is mostly fine
  
  What if you are reincarnated as the crystalline entity?

So... Do I stay as I am or do I become a pony when I end up in Equestria? 🤔
- 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 😂
- Cum, let's do some friendship!

Me as a drunken dwarf risking my life so the company I work for gets more money: Rock and stone!
- For Karl!
- Rock and roll and stone!
  
  Stonie Hawk is that you?
- Sometimes I wonder if moving dirt and shooting bugs is a good way to make a living...

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?

Star Wars.
I'll accept it.
- 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.
- Living in the Old Republic would likely be pretty cruisy, before the events of the prequels.
  If we pretend the Disney era stuff doesn't exist, it would also be quite tranquil after the original trilogy.
  
  ...Neither of those time periods are cushy. The Old Republic is a constant war between the Sith Empire and Republic, reaching far into the core worlds. I wouldn't call that cushy for the average dude. You're either enslaved by the Sith, enslaved by the Hutts, or conscripted by the Republic.
  Post-OT in Legends wasn't exactly nice either, what with the Yuuzhan Vong War which killed an estimated 300 trillion people and multiple planets completely destroyed. You'd actually be better off in the Galactic Civil War! At least then only one planet blew up.

The Expanse fans:
... dies on Eros

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.

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.
- I'll probably try to channel and then get chased down by a red ajah, then I lose channeling, get depressed, kms. the end
- The wheel weaves as the wheel wills.

The Matrix.
Pretty fucking screwed.
- Huh, nothing changed...
  Weird, I guess.

Discworld's fine by me.
- Their university leadership are slightly more coherent than mine - I'll take that life.
- 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!

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.

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

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!

Marvel.
Shit my insurance rates are going up.
- Only if you're in New York.
  
  Or anywhere poor or remotely interesting.

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.

Wake the fuck up samurai
We have a city to burn.

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
  
  It's absolutely amazing. Adventure time for adults

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.

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

as a UC Gundam fan
- Jupiter seems to escape most of the world-shattering events.
  
  Yeah but those Jovians are bit extreme

i hope I'm fit for starfleet.
- There's always the Space Janitorial Service.
  
  > PUT GEM IN MOUTH

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.

Helldivers...
- Sounds of sweet liber-tea

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.
