What game is it and how are you doing?

BONUS QUESTION: He instead offers you $1 billion if you go to the Mortal Kombat universe, join the tournament and survive. He’ll have Raiden train you for a year, then the blood splatters. Do you accept?

BONUS BONUS QUESTION: He offers to send you to a video game world of your choosing, only you can never come back home or contact anyone here ever again, not even with in-universe abilities. Do you accept and, if so, which one?

    Cities: Skylines - no problem, it’s a great place to live! … As long as your house is near an evacuation shelter, on account of all the tornados and stuff.

    Just beat Tears of the Kingdom. Great game. I feel like for a country embroiled in a magical apocalypse most places are super comfy and safe to live in. 20 mil? Easy money.

    No, I am not participating in Mortal Kombat.

    One way ticket? It’s gotta be Pokemon. It’s the isekai holy grail. Living there would be way better than any of the shitty games, imagine just the travel lifestyle alone. Food and healthcare are free and plentiful. You can make easy luxury money having your favorite critter beat the brakes off of some snot-nosed kid’s rat.

    Hell no, I played MyHouse.wad last. I would either die a horrible death and go mad in an inescapable empty hospital or I would just go mad from the rest of the game. I wouldn’t even be able to trust the world when I got back.

    Before that I played Detroit: Become Human. That one seems survivable to me. I’d just go about my day and be nice to everyone I meet.

    Absolutely. I was playing Cities: Skylines.

    I would spend that year driving around in my doughnut truck, working at Dino Oil or Healthy Weeds, enjoy my weekends at the parking lot or the bouncy castle, and run to high ground during the next tsunami.

    After winning the cash I’d ask to be transported to the Ark universe, and then I’d spend the rest of my life in a glass mansion, training armies of dinosaurs to do my bidding.
    JK, I’d probably spend the rest of my very short life running naked from a dilophosaur while screaming. Still more fun than reality.

    The last game I played was Pokémon Go. I’d survive…it’d be boring as hell but I’d survive, if Niantic survives haha that layoff was a bit scary for PoGo

        You can build a flying robot army. Who needs people?

        And how do you remember your user name?

          Lmao it was the wifi password at a place I once worked, and I had to put it in so many times it just stuck with me.

          And I LIKE people(for the most part)

    Star Citizen, I’d be lucky to surive a day without glitching into space and dying

      Same here, friend. I’ll probably manage 12 hours if I’m lucky?

        12 hours! You’re brave. I even play on easy mode in sandbox and I’d still be dead within the hour!

    I played Minecraft in peaceful mode, so, yeah, that sounds like a nice year long vacation actually.

    Hard pass on the mortal kombat, but I might take the third offer if I could be functionally immortal and the world was expansive enough.

    Ok, I think i could survive being opressed by a tempermental child king who resets everything when he doesnt get his way for a year… unless that also resets the timer, i which case it’s groundhog’s day forever for me. Gimme the 20 mil, funny magic man.

        Oh whoops, probably should’ve mentioned that heh.

        Warframe’s Duviri Paradox - a sort of feverish “backstory” for one-third of the player character and I don’t know if I can actually describe it any simpler than that.

    Technically it was Pokemon as my 4 year old is now stuck because the last stage of the new open world game has actual story line to follow and he can’t read. Was able to catch a hundred Pokemon, beat all gyms all by basically button mashing om which attack to do.

    So yeah I’ll take $20M as humans dont die in Pokemon.

    No to MK. Game is rigged as everyone else has superpowers.

    And the bonus bonus is a no go not because of not seeing anyone but because then I’d have money in that game world and that isn’t very useful.

    A drunken wizard offers you $20 million if you let him send you to the world of the last video game you played

    A year in an advanced human democratic Utopia prior to first contact with hostile aliens? I think I could manage that :)
