196Megaman battle network 3, im in heaven
It was Ultrakill. Here's the intro text of this game for context:
> Mankind is dead.
> Blood is fuel.
> Hell is full.
I don't think I'm surviving an hour there, lol.
Making food and stuff. Hoping the killer happened before me. The Game is "Kiosk". Shot Horror Game - can recommend
Baldur's Gate 3...
Yeah, I'd take that bet.
Just one year in Stellaris?
Hmm... my empire, or someone else's?
I would find it very... Satisfactory.
Tunic! So, cute but also deadly?
Took a pause from Helldivers 2 (wouldn't have lasted 10min) to play a Librarian "organize thousands of books" casual game.
I could live quite nicely.
ignoring pinball, i think mindustry would be fun even if i die a lot :3

Last game I played is Hitman, so as long as I’m not a target, enforcer, in 47’s way, or in the world of a kill everyone run, I think I’d do just fine. I guess it depends on the map, but it’s mostly just the real world. So not much change I don’t think. If I can choose which map and my reason for being there I might not wanna go back actually.
This is all assuming I can explain it to my family. I’m not sure I actually wanna miss a year of my baby’s life, so in actuality I would never do it, but if I had to do it, I think I’d do just fine.
God of War (2018). Fimbrulwinter hasn't started yet, and he stays away from populated areas. So long as I don't do anything to piss off the Odin and his kin I should be fine
Planet coaster 2
So, pretty fun!
the monkey paw curls and you end up as a regular guest in a playthrough by someone who tortures all their guests using flamethrowers, fireworks, electric zapping, and crashing things into you.
Celeste
Do I have to climb the mountain? Can I respawn? Can I dash? So many questions... I would love to parkour around if I didn't die. But most of my time would probably be spent just living in a cabin or something.
Darkest Dungeon. Uhm. No thanks!
Ah, you're fine. The last game I played was Warframe. I am proper fucked.
Are you getting brain shelved, getting krunk on kambuchi and then starving to death, or assimilated into a zombified fax machine? Personally im being enslaved by the queens and turned into nutrient slurry
I know I shouldn't say that loud... I'm bit rich in cute hentai game. Now all on Palapagos know I'm horny.
The world of Limbus Company. Hm.
This is fine 👍
I get to live in medieval Bohemia for a year? Jokes on you I do reenactment I'm all about this shit.
Tell the not so good king Wenceslaus I said hi 😁
I'm playing star trucker right now so I'd be golden. Just one year of hauling cargo, customizing my rig and doing the occasional EVA to salvage expensive jetsam. Where do I sign?
Stardew Valley? I mean... Sure.
Portal 2 cooperative edition. My partner may drive me insane, but at least I am virtually immortal.
So in other words, no real change? 🤷🏻
You're immortal?
We are all immortal until proven otherwise.
Who isn't? 🤷🏻
Cheek Breeki I V Damke! I die in the first anomaly.
You're not alone in this one, Stalker. Let's team up and live off vodka and sausage looted from radioactive bandits. I'll bring a detector if you find us some bolts.
Getting mauled by a farmbot IRL any% wr.
DayZ. I'm dead, unless I can find enough bullets and a car to stand on top of.
Life in Sanctuary is rough, especially after the destruction of the Worldstone. I've been staying in Westmarch, which should be pretty safe until my year is up.
I tried learning magic, but it only seems to work for people born here, so I'm working as a blacksmith. I'm the greatest metallurgist in the world and have "invented" the steam hammer. They don't have potatoes but the food is otherwise decent.
But not a day goes by that I don't regret this decision. I didn't have a chance to tell my wife and kids where I was going... they probably think I'm either dead or left them. My job and likely my home will be gone. My dad might be gone too. Don't get me wrong, a million dollars is a lot of money. But I already had a good life and fear I may have wrecked it.
I think I may have accidentally brought corona with me here. No need to tell anyone about that one. I just hope nothing comes back home with me.
And as soon as the year passes, there's a flash of light as the VR headset comes off. It's been 1 hour since you took the deal. The money is already in your account. You go home and kiss your wife and hug your children who are so proud of you for being brave enough to take such a risk, even if your wife playfully berates you for not at least calling first. She understands, even concedes she may have done the same given the reward. You and your family live a long and happy life living as comfortably as one can keeping just enough to have stability while driving and funding important activist movements to make the world a better place. The end.
These are the end times
There was no hope of survival
This is how you died
Project Zomboid, so pretty fucked!
I'm a chess piece.
Let's play a really slow game here...
Stardew valley is basically what I want out of my life, so I might not leave
Same game and same thought. You mean I get to be a multimillionaire farmer girl who's dating every single eligible bachelor(ette) in the valley simultaneously? I'd give my million dollar prize back if it means I get to stay.
how's life there?
Honestly, pretty grimdank
Minecraft. Honestly, send me into the wilderness where I can build a little log cabin by a lake, make furniture, and live off the land. And the only people around are some zombies who don't try to talk to you. Keep your million.
You're a human though not steve. Can you punch down a tree or punch a pig to death?
I'm well travelled, own several starships, and am mostly fluent in gek. Of course I have to fend off daily attacks by pirates and sentinels.
Damn it's been a couple of years since I last played NMS... Should probably try to hop back in to see what kind of updates there's been. Probably a ton
They added Pokémon. Welcome back.
As a Forza addict, I think I'll be just fine.
Yup. Being stuck in a version of Japan that I can race all different cars and enjoy a different season every week with no death. I’m so there.
Until you inevitably crash at high speed and die gruesomely
I don't even need to drive. I could just hang out in Tokyo for a year.
Until someone inevitably crashes into you at high speed and you both die gruesomely 😉
Normally cars can’t enter areas with people. On the off chance they do, they clip right through the people. Also the game basically encourages you to do 1,000ft+ jumps and there’s no damage if you turn it off.
Just rewind time and do it better....and crash a different way
I think I would enjoy an entire year in The Stanley Parable tbh
It's BUCKET TIME!!
Satisfactory.
A year might not be enough, come back in at least 3.
Hmm... I thought there used to be a planet underneath that solid crust of machinery.
I'm squid!
You're a kid now 🎶
My last game was StarCraft so I'd be dead via ling rush within the first three minutes.
Edit: StarCraft 2
One or two?
SC2. I was first introduced to 2 and then never went back to play 1. I should have specified, but it's just "StarCraft" to me.
Not sure how I would live in hollow knight silksong exactly do I have to be a bug or would I be myself situated above the zones.
Outer Wilds.
In 22 minutes I and everyone else am dead.
07 make it count friend
Overwatch. It looks fun from the outside, but I'm forced to participate in short matches where I repeatedly die, come back and kill cute yet soulless people all day long, for a year.
I started eating people on day 3. There is a hole were my humanity used to be. A hole that can only be filed by trembling, bloody, screaming flesh. The hamster was first. He was easy. Then, month after month, I got through the rest of the roster, each one with a different bottle of wine from the Paris deathmatch map. Now my appetite, form and spirit have grown beyond what is humanly conceivable. When the map loads and they see me, they all run and shriek as my many mouths start tearing through their ever fresh, juicy bodies. As if they too were starting to remember their unending, inescapable demise.
One day it will end, but in the meantime I need to feel their bones break and heartbeats fade on my tongues. Such delicious marrow. Such delicious broth.
Overwatch.exe
Awesome 😎
It’s rimworld.
I don’t want to be a cannibal.
That's fine, but know one day the straw that will break you will be you will be your lack of a dinner table.
You can scavenge berries, but the only available hats are... Let's call them "locally sourced."
Star craft 2? Not even for a billion
Depends on how Night City treats me. Not sure I wanna chromed for a year's stay.
I'd do night city.
It tends to treat everyone except a few corpos pretty damn awfully, in fact..
It's a lot like how I imagine American cities
Yeah, it's pretty much "current day US but worse in the same ways" 🤷🏻
Depends if I play as my character or myself.
Baldur's Gate 3 as my character would be great, his stats are high, he's rich, he's hopelessly in love
Baldur's Gate 3 as myself, I would die, almost immediately, possibly on my way out of camp while tripping and hitting my head on a rock
Project zomboid on easy settings (low amount of zombies, zombies are dumb, high amount of loot and easy skill gain). I'd take it. Even regular settings would be a dream in comparison to dealing with state violence, so I'd be pretty happy.
I like to play with the RV interiors mod, hook a trailer to a Winnebago and just wander from place to place collecting food, seeing the sights
I love that mod! Does it work on stable 42 now?
I haven't used it on the latest update, but I have used it on a b42 build in the last 6 months. I assume it's updated
Runescape is so easy nowadays that this seems fine, I could avoid combat skills and become a fisherwoman, eat lobster all day.
>Helldivers 2
... No thanks, I think I'll stay poor.
I'm a diver and would be a clone coming out at the end of the year
Oh, my sweet summer child, you think they're clones?
Lore says they are not. This is why I have my diver voice set to random, canonically every diver is a unique person who volunteered ("volunteered", given it's Super Earth, that word does some lifting) to join.
You wouldn't be coming home at all after a year, unless you somehow manage to get a cushy position operating a super destroyer instead of dropping from one. This is part of the reason they're so revered by citizens in-universe, they are explicitly not clones, just held in cryostasis storage and deployed as needed as highly expendable special forces.
Ok wow rejecting democracy much? SMH
I'm rank 175 40 minute excursions into hell are one thing, but I already live in an authoritarian, kakistocracy dystopia in the real world, I do not need to live in one turned up to 11.
As long as Ghandi doesn’t nuke me I’m good
Civilization. I can't escape it.
We live in a ~~society~~ civilization
On the upside, the year is only at most 1 turn. You'll be back in no time.
Palworld. Eh, I don't hate it: farming, catching some pals now and then, idealic environments and weather. As long as I steer clear of the big legendary pals I should have no problems.
Dwarf fortress lol. I think if I did not have a family I could go there for free for a year. Benefits: I can get some cool skills relatively fast and they seem to be having a jolly good time in the Inn.
So I get a million dollars and I'm stuck in a house banging 6 women for a year. I think my wife would wonder where I disappeared to for a year but the million would probably smooth things over.
Stardew Valley?
Think of games that you have a second steam account with no friends list to play.
I figured as much, thought I'd play dumb by deliberately guessing a game that's borderline notoriously wholesome 😉
No problem I didn't think you were Being a DIK.
Darktide. Yeah I'm not taking the money.
Warframe for me. I don't think I would have very good chances of making through a whole year.
Hang out on a relay and hope it doesn't get blown up I suppose. Or be Valkyr.
I like that people assume they'll be the main character and not just a random NPC.
For instance in GTA you might just have your current life while some gangsters buy burgers.
I'm not assuming that, though.
I don't know about you, but I'm in no way equipped to take care of myself in the 1800s using no modern technology for a year 😄
Pathogenic. I'm fucked.
Pretty good, tbh. I've been playing Palworld and I think I'd do okay, even if I got dropped into a permadeath server. Yeah you gotta grind, but you don't really have to do much of anything, the pals do basically everything for you.
Wonder why those survivors on the beach are so freaked out, the worst thing on their island are chickens and sheep
music is illegal but i get to beat up cops
Stay a while and listen!
I’m ok with it. Gotta catch em all
Factorio. It would be pretty nice but I'm not sure my human me is prepared to deal with the bugs... A tough decision.
Juno new origins
probably gonna end up being killed in an accident but at least I can fly some sick rockets
Hol up while I download LSL5
Last one I played is Pikmin (1), back in 13 August. I'll do fine (unless I am pikmin-sized)
There's many different ways it could go, hopefully I don't get deep space dementia or get attacked by giant alien spiders while I'm there
Madden NFL 2008?
Baba is you I think was the last one. So like, I could become all walls or space, or might accidentally make myself nothing… so a fraught existence for sure
Social Democracy: an alternate history, so depends on if I can change things or if I have to live through otl
Game I've been playing the last couple of days is high-ish-magic medieval-style fantasy, which isn't the worst world to live in. Question is whether the protagonists have been through the area yet, otherwise there's nonzero risk of dying from supernatural creature attack or evil cults, on top of goblins and orcs which probably aren't any worse than historic "barbarian" attacks but deadly all the same.
Do you have access to magic? Because if you're just a normal person in a medieval world you have a pretty high chance of dying from an infection from some random small injury, and never mind the monsters or whatever.
Alternatively, if you are an NPC with plot armor you're probably good.
Medieval societies already had some division of labor, even actual medieval medicine experts generally knew enough to treat small cuts. Since it's a relatively high-magic world (Divinity's Rivellon), chances are decent that they have actual healing magic, too (whether that's actually accessible to peasants and random foreigners is another matter TBF). So I'm not saying the medicine I could access would necessarily be great from a rich western country's perspective, but trying to survive there for a year isn't exactly a death sentence, either. Lots of other game worlds would be way worse.
Also, I'm already severely chronically ill and contemporary medicine was so far unable to do anything about it. Actual magic might just do the trick.
RDR2 for me as well. At least there's options. I would probably play it safe by ditching the gang before I contract tuberculosis and just live as a hunter up in the mountains. The mechanics of the game would make that quite easy compared to IRL.
Alternatively, the epilogue does seem nice.
CloverPit
Crap
Looks like I picked Power Wash Simulator back up at the right time
I don't even know what would happen with Balatro, do I get to be a Jimbo? Could I be Blueprint, or do I just get to the something useless like Matador?
You're gonna be the cards, handled by a bunch of sweaty stranger-hands for a year.
🤤 I just hope I'm a red-seal polychrome gold King
I have no idea what that means but
Persona 5, so deeply pessimistic, cynical japan
If it means to completion, then Paper Mario would be pretty cozy. If just last game played, SuperTux would be nice too. Yay! :3
Witcher 3. I might be a little fucked, but I think I'd have fun before I died. Maybe I could get lucky and be one of the rich folks in a city and live peacefully for a year.
Played a "Hell on Earth" run on Killing Floor 3 last, so I'm well and truly fucked.
I would be in Slime Rancher 2. I would be doing pretty alright! I can stay at my ranch and tend to my adorable slimes.
City of Heroes. I was playing a Gravity/Storm build last night, so I'll be flying around, and throwing things and people all over the place.
Pretty bad news for bystanders, I guess 😄
Just HAD to play a Helldivers 2 match last night didn't I.... Well I mean zomboid with 1 out of 5 zombies being a runner probably ain't gonna do me no favors either.... I'm boned
PUBG. Im gonna get murdered a lot, but at least death isnt final, given respawns exist. At least the pubg maps are quite large and interesting to explore.
Im gonna get murdered a lot, but at least death isnt final
Sounds like a Hell loop lol
I'm screwed, Super earth is calling. I can't not pick up the phone (Helldivers 2) (regardless of what role I'm in even not as diver but a civie I'm screwed)
I opened elden ring for the first time In years Yesterday, there could be worse games, plenty of safe places to hide
i wouldn’t consider that to be too terrible. It’s beautiful and you can entertain yourself nearly endlessly outside of the narrative.
Unfortunately for me I last played 76 to see what had changed. And I’d definitely go mad since i’ve basically done and seen it all outside of some builds i want to try.
i wouldn’t consider that to be too terrible. It’s beautiful and you can entertain yourself nearly endlessly outside of the narrative.
I get your point, but you're overlooking the fact that you'd have to be extremely skilled and self sufficient by modern standards to be able to survive in the 1800s for a year without any modern comforts and technology..
I for one would die or go insane in a few months, I think. Either that or thrive so much that I'll never want to go back 🤷🏻😁
Oh yeah, when you put it that way… I do have some survival skills from growing up in the country, but the culture is what’d probably do me in. I’d misunderstand someone and get waxed pretty fast most likely.
That actually sounds pretty ideal. I'd just do what i do in the game anyway. Ride my horse, pick flowers, collect skins, camp. Occasionally go into town to get supplies and unload my furs.
But I'd end up in Spiderman. Do i get to be Spiderman or just some shmo on the street?
Beyond All Reason: statistically i’ll spawn as a tick and live a short life of probing enemy defenses with single-file human wave tactics.
Seems that would be Anomalous Coffee Machine. I guess that would depend on which character’s place I have to take
Kerbal Space Program. I'll probably die but at least I'll (likely) get to see space and go out in a blaze of glory
You'll sit in a capsule for all that time in interplanetary space or abandoned on the surface of some celestial body. Pray that there's no life support mods installed. In any case, you'll go mad
Palia! I'd gladly live there for even longer!
Playing as myself, I wouldn’t survive 10 minutes in Megabonk.
I don't think I'd survive 5 minutes, let alone a year being bombarded with blocks from Beatsaber. Unless I can stand next to the track.
The Sims… I guess depending on who’s playing it could be good or bad
Noita. I'm so dead. At least it will be spectacular, unexpected or both...
Well, I would be royally screwed. I cannot explain why at all due to major spoilers, but I would be stuck in Pokemon Rejuvenation. If you have played the game up until the current final chapter or at least know the story, you know why I am royally screwed.
All I can say is being in the official pokemon game with the most villainous and successful evil team would be paradise because at least I know nobody really ever dies, NPC or otherwise.
Say what you will about attraction mechanics and FOMO, but logging in to do Star Trek Online event daily missions keeps me sittin' pretty in all these hypotheticals.
Stuck in a medieval post-apocalyptic North America. Not good. (CK3 After the End mod)
Well that depends, am I the "main character", if so do I start at the beginning or where I left off?
I mean, either way in satisfactory I don't require sleep or food or drink, unless I take damage and need to eat some nuts or berries. So just avoid the local wildlife until I get the hover pack.
I remember my first time playing and not wanting to wander too far from the grassy spawn because of all the hostile fauna and unfamiliar terrain.
Now with the hover pack, a full island-spanning rail network with power pylons, dimensional depots with packaged fuel and a jetpack, I'm constantly zipping across the place and half the time I have no idea where exactly I am but I'm just hopping over the wildlife and on the off chance something hits me and I'm offended, I'll toss a nuke at it before flying off.
I just unlocked the nuclear pasta milestone and am currently working on getting the nuclear power situation sorted while I wait for my very slow factories to pump out the space elevator bits.
I could do without ADA trying not to sound like GLaDOS-lite, but I can live with an annoying bot.
The other game I played today was Project zomboid, and as the title card says every time you start a new game, "this is how [I] died"
Legit didn't even last 5 minutes in my starting character in a new world today. Looted the spawn house, leveled a little bit of carpentry and cooking, then got bit in the fucking driveway because I miss-timed my swing. I had a shotgun and axe, too...
You mean I can like, be in VrChat? Like my character, and my friends, and all these amazing places to go to? Dude sign me up, that's my escape from reality.
Fire Emblem Awakening doesn't seem too bad a place to take a vacation.
The Organ Trail. Hope I make it!
Depends: is that a typo of Oregon, or are you playing a very gory reboot? 😄
https://store.steampowered.com/app/233740/Organ_Trail_Directors_Cut/
Nice! 😁
