(Idea taken from a similar post I saw in Reddit a longer time ago)

I would probably get a knife in my ribs before I notice anything and be left to lie in the street πŸ˜…

I like to think that I'd join a pirate crew and go on adventures, but more likely I'd be a hobo on some street on a Caribbean island. Could be worse.

Prince of Persia Warrior Within.

Hmm. If I'm on the island of time I'm royally screwed but living in some random town is okay I guess. Could be worse.

I am struck by an overwhelming urge to make paperclips.

I would be the lone human in Deep Rock Galactic. Hopefully I would be transported into the Rig and drink some beers because if I ended up on Hoxxes I'm pretty sure I would be glyphid food.

Everything must be Satisfactory.

Since it has been confirmed that all the characters in Smash are toys, and the human playing with them are the hands, does that make me a hand?

Get eaten by giant sea abomination if I don't drown trying to collect metals

BALLOONS! Get'm!

Either I'm Link in the Wind Maker, or just one of another NPC. And I'd be okay with being NPC in Zelda: Wind Maker.

Last game I played was World of Tanks, so...

Society as we know it ended in 1919, after the calamitous fall of every world government. There is no order or law save the will of the Tank Clans, roaming columns of tanks from every nation on the constant prowl for ammunition, fuel and supplies to keep their rampage sustained for even a moment longer.

To be a tanker in this time is to embrace chaos and anarchy. Tank clans commit to bloody battles, fighting to the last man over scarce resources. The victors cannibalize the smouldering wrecks of the fallen for whatever scrap remains. Technological advances come at the cost of hundreds fallen, all in the name of making deadlier war machines. This the world I now inhabit, a world of steel and chaos, of armor and war. This is...

The World of Tanks.

Oof! 100% adrenaline until you finally bite the bulle- I mean, the...shells? Sabots?

[–] xeekei@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

FaerΓ»n. I'd probably fail to see a trap and die.

But in my defence, those are invisible until I roll a high enough number on a dice.

I'd either be an immortal capsuleer in charge of a space ship. Or I'd be some peasant on a planet that are so unimportant that they don't even get mentioned in the lore.

[–] z500@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I abandon my plans of defeating Ruby Weapon and just get in the Highwind and go to the Golden Saucer.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I sit and hide until Kratos solves everything

[–] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 2 years ago

I spawn next to some weird tower with a princess on top. I see another three stone towers in the distance. The princess tells me to go shoot one of the stone towers with my shotgun. When walking on the bridge, giant log with iron spikes just appears in the air and start rolling to me. It nearly kills me, but I survive. My happiness don't last long, because I see old ugly witch spawning near me. Before I can shoot her, she turns me into a pig. Scared and confused, I turn around and run back to safety. Last thing I see is the princess that I thought was my ally, shooting me with her bow. I hate Clash Royale.

Eaten by local fauna,Shot, blown up, or crushed by a titan. Just got done playing titan fall 2.

[–] kogs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I open an Inn and get to play Gwent against Gerelt of Rivia!

[–] zyberteq@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Got a nice job with autonomy, quite a bit of credits and a sweet spaceship. If only we could have cats in Starfield

Drown in rain. I'm too big for the shelters.

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

I get to be a Destiny NPC. Honestly, not the worst fate.

[–] all-knight-party@kbin.run 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OP what game are you describing? I played Middle Earth Shadow of War, so I'd be perched up on a building watching two uruks throttle each other

[–] Damaskox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

A text-based Online, browser crime game called TORN.

I was thinking about reinstalling that game but haven't yet done so. I have bad memories of dem uruk chiefs getting op rather quick (yeah I know you gotta kill them with the weaknesses before they learn all your moves πŸ˜‚)

[–] all-knight-party@kbin.run 3 points 2 years ago

Wow, Torn looks pretty cool, I didn't know there were still games like this

Shadow of War is not actually that bad, I'm on post game and the uruks are like level 65 and I still run into ones that are mortally vulnerable to stealth, or just plain soft headed or dazed when you pin their feet, and all that. Unless you were playing on a higher difficulty, I'm just on normal.

They get a lot more immunities and stuff but all you gotta do is poke them in the one place they're vulnerable and you're still the man. Only the ones with the adaptable trait really learn from their weaknesses before you can kill or brand them, so it's not too bad.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Shit Keanu Reaves is in my head making snarky comments about my choices. Could be cool.

[–] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Technically I'd be in Night City, but for the first few hours surrounded by homelessness and decay I'd likely be trying to figure out how I got to San Francisco again...

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I have a bad time as I can't speak Japanese and am pretty sure subtitles don't come with me.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I hunt mushrooms and apples for the next 5 days till I max out my supply in the stash and carefully avoid monster encounters because I'm scared shitless and I only get one life this time.

[–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm playing Fea Farm so, farm, fish and hang out with my friends all day. Plus I have cute little fairy wings in that game. I'm set for life.

[–] fluke@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I would like to think I would be some kind of PMC trying to survive in a quarantined zone after mass evacuation. The Russian government has cordoned off the area as a result of some kind of conspiracy by a secretive 'Umbrella Corp' style mega corp and has stranded the Russian and Western PMCs that were caught in the area when it closed.

But in reality I would be a Scav and almost immediately killed by some lvl70 Kappa chad.

The last game I played was Yu-Gi-Oh Masterduel so I guess I'd be forced to endlessly play Yu-Gi-Oh against people in the real world...

[–] ChewTiger@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Armored Core 6, yeah it's probably not going to end well for me.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'd be thrust into a dog-eat-dog world of 4 warring factions each out to establish dominance and feed themselves. I'd say in a week give or take I'd end up on someone's dinner plate.

(I played 3/4s through of Tooth and Tail last night in 8 hours).

Ask me again in two weeks and I'd be in a city where you MUST take a train to get anywhere, in Cities Skylines 2. That would be a nicer fate.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

That really depends.

Crash land near/in the main colony? Eh. I'd be thrown into prison to be beaten or put into Boris' chair until I was compliant, but after, there's a chance at a decent life with only some risk of death. At worst, they might decide I'm worth tossing in a Warcasket and joining the Dead watching the walls.

Outside of them? Ehh. Might be able to throw in with a tribe and keep my head down until we're all slaughtered in a raid. Some of the Empires seem somewhat friendly, could try to offer services cleaning and hauling for a bed in a servant barracks. Completely fucked if I'm caught out by Raiders, Pirates, Insectoids, or Mechanoids.
