What would you do/how screwed would you be if you woke up in the last game you played?

Stardew Valley.

You know what? I’m okay with this. Sign me up, I accept.

Sometimes you roll the Katamari, and sometimes the Katamari rolls you.

Minecraft Survival? Well, I wasn't playing on hardcore, so I guess I'd be alright.

Or, hmm, on my phone, Pikmin Bloom. A vast army of adorable minions to accompany me as we wander around Chicago in search of public art; not so bad.

Fallout London. It'd be an intense half an hour trying to open inaccessible doors before I'd crash back to safety.

Happily married, with a brand new baby, living in a large house, on a well established farm, with financial security and steady income, plus a small fortune in extremely valuable wine aging in the basement, near a friendly town with lots of festivities, where no matter how badly I screw up someone will find me and bail me out so that I can get home or see a doctor.

Euro Truck Simulator 2, so all things considered, pretty chill

No Man's Sky. Pretty sweet deal, I think.

I'd just start mining random stuff to put together to make better mining gear to mine better and more stuff.

Then just get on my dinghy and explore the 'verse while looking out for a better dinghy. Maybe plop down a few bases on nice planets, rinse and repeat.

Baldur's Gate 3, I probably would be praising The Absolute.

Elden Ring, none of that is going well

Valheim. My homestead is beautiful and densely forested. I'm well equipped and have provisions for days. I'm good.

Helldivers 2

I would be dead within 7 days. Quite apt as the game is 7 days to die.

City of Heroes (20 year old game). As an NPC, I would be screwed, as a player character, it would be pretty sweet at for the first few days before the lack meaningful interactions and the constant "work" started to get to me.

Deep Rock Galactic. It would be terrifying, but with some upsides.

"It ain't a gun unless it weighs at least one hundred pounds!"

Subnautica - I would be dead in minutes since I can't actually swim all that well in real life.

I'd be a Starfleet Fleet Admiral in 2410, with a bunch of very OP starships under my command, so that would be pretty damn sweet!

Animal Crossing New Leaf. I'd be ecstatic.

Pokemon Go. I would be running from Pokemon I guess. Not too bad as for now I do have some resources, and the map is pretty good so everything would be where it is now.

Helldivers2 vs bots on lv10... dead in seconds. pretty screwed.

Factorio, I'd probably survive and build a bunch of stuff. Oh, and try not to get eaten.

Pokemon Emerald? So long as I'm not the protag, life is generally OK. Aside from Team Aqua/Magma and the whole "causing disasters to expand the sea/land", I should be OK.

Deep Rock Galactic Galaxy's Finest!

I'm a greybeard with a crack crew but they get wreckless sometimes, and mining on Hoxxes is intrinsically dangerous. We don't always make it back.

Modded Minecraft. It's going to depend entirely on whether I can still search the various wikis.

Ghost of Tsushima

I dont know shit about how to fight so unless I woke up as Jin with the fighting experience I'd be fucked

AC Odyssey. I guess I'm Greek now

Kerbal Space Program. So everything might be fine, or I might hit a mountain at mach 12, or I might be stuck on Moho forever hoping Matt Lowne joins Lemmy and can send the Blunderbirds to get me.

Majora's Mask. I'm dead in 3 days.

I'm playing Scorn right now. Fuuuuuuuuck thaaaaaat

I played Noita, I'm utterly fucked no matter who or what I am

Ace Attorney (nostalgia). I'm not weird enough to be a witness, the perp, or the wrongfully accused. If I was the victim I'd obviously be screwed. If I was a defence attorney my clients would be screwed. If I was a judge everyone but me would be screwed. Payne seems to make an ok living as a prosecutor although he sucks at it, I could do that. Or I'd just be one of those weirdoes cheering in the gallery, or an unremarkable resident of Japanifornia, which would both be fine.

Helldivers 2, I am FUCKED. Unless I was on a Super Destroyer on my way to Super Earth

Guild Wars 2. It's not so bad. Just hang out in one of the cities. Learn some magic.

FFXIV.

Would I be the Warrior of Light or some random scrub? Random scrub that world has godlike beings that just absolutely dominate your will just by existing, plus just massive monsters, and some terrifying organizations.

WoL, hooboy all the moments the story made me be quiet.

Another question is do I go as myself, or can I be a catgirl?

Tears of the Kingdom. Not bad at all, as long as I stay in places populated by the more friendly creatures. The worst thing about being stuck there is the choice between living in Tarrey Town, Hateno, or Kakariko. I could live a pretty comfortable life growing swift carrots or fortified pumpkins.

Metro 2033... as long as I'm underground and out of harm's way, I think I'll be able to survive

I'd be popping balloons like any good monkey should

Balatro. I think I'm okay? I don't even know what that would mean.

Sudoku?

(I’m an old)

Phantasy Star Online? I'd be in great shape! I could essentially play that game indefinitely.

I played Outer Wilds, so I'd be pretty cozy, for about 20 minutes.

Bloons TD 6.

I guess I have to contribute to popping bloons... somehow??? Idk.

Football Manager. I would be fired, but everything else would stay the same.

Timberborn. Humans died out and beavers are now the dominant species. So, I guess it could be worse..

I would be in Mario Kart... pretty sure I would look for Yoshi or Birdo at the lockers after, if you know what I mean...

Warframe. Seems like there's some stability in some of the planets' different cities. I'm not far into the game, so I'm not sure what might happen.

Rainworld. Yeah i'm screwed.

I was playing Rogue Trader so unless I get to take over one of the PCs I'm pretty screwed. The 40k universe is not a friendly place. Even if I take over one of the party characters I'd probably still end up dead in some awful way. My character was a psycher so that's never a good idea if you want to remain demon free.

Mini Metro.

Guess who has two thumbs and is stuck on the train all day?

Civ VI? I dunno... maybe this is it?

Pokemon, not bad could be much worse I was playing rimworld before that.

TOTK. If I was a random villager I'd probably be OK.

If I was Link I'd die to the first red Bokoblin I encountered.

If I was Ganondorf I'd be twiddling my thumbs waiting as Link got sidetracked by side questing and "hey I bet there's something cool at the top of this cliff".

I think living in post nuclear armageddon Nevada would fix me

Strange Horticulture...I'm probably fine.

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires; it would really depend on if I were an officer or not, and then if I had a name or not. Best case scenario I worm my way into an out of the way post in the Wei clan and hold one mantra in mind: "Do not pursue Lu Bu".

Elden Ring. Welp, at least I guess i revive on death now?

Last game was Wordle..so.....

Trombone Champ. I'd be in a marching band. Again.

Pokémon Sun. Basically Hawaii with better healthcare. I'll probably survive.

I'll be homesick for the extreme four season climate I'm used to before too long, though. I just got back from a trip to Hawaii, and even just a week of it was bordering on too long.

At any rate, happy to answer this question today rather than two weeks earlier. I'd be better off in Alola than trying to survive alone shipwrecked on Nauvis.

Cyberpunk. I'd be a corpslave... ain't no way I'd survive anything else.

Stellaris. I was getting destroyed by an empire that wanted to terminate me. So not good 😂

Mine is Hearthstone, so my life basically just becomes Yu-Gi-Oh? I have to wander around Azeroth getting challenged by weirdos to increasingly elaborate children's card game battles?

I typically make high legend on ladder though, so I guess I'm okay with this life.

FFXIV. I'll probably go to one of the cities to work as farmer or something like that. Doesn't look like they have a need for programmer there.

Probably become a vegetable from the brain damage/concussions/broken spine. Rocket league.

Earthbound

I better call my dad and eat this cookie while my friend gets his trout flavored yogurt ready

chess was the last game i played...i think id do fine. the last real game i played was the newest forza horizon game like 6 months ago...id also do fine lol

Cthulhu: Death May Die. So I'll probably go insane while killing cultists and whatever unspeakable horror is waiting this time. Should be a good time.

Playing Eve Online as I post this.

If I'm a baseline human, I am screwed. If I am a capsuleer - well, I'm actually going to have to learn how to fly a spaceship "for real", but hey, at least I'm immortal.

Starfield… Meh not sure if anywhere would be good because I have to walk to everywhere (until recently) and pirates are bothering me randomly

Do I get the ability to build things instantly like the protagonist of factorio? If I'm suddenly stuck on a planet with super hostile aliens and I have to build automatic weapons and flamethrowers from pure iron ore with my current skills, uhhh, yeah I'm in trouble.

Black Mesa /// I’m F’d.

Uh, technically the last game I played is this 2D puzzle: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/rect.html

So, with a bit of imagination:

I run for my life as walls and whole rooms shoot out of the ground in random locations.
But run where? There's a perimeter wall in all directions.
Eventually, I get trapped in a hallway. '5' it says on the floor. I can spot a '2' at the other end, before another wall slides up in front of it. The lights turn off.

A few more echos can be heard, before the lights flicker and a speaker drones "Completed!".

The lights turn back on, the walls and the '5' disappear.
A '3' reveals itself underneath my feet, and a '6’ right next to me. A wall shoots up between. What the hell do these numbers mean? And who operates this sick game?

Borderlands. Yeah probably kinda screwed.

Hearts of iron 4, yerrrrp it's over.

Farming simulator. So yea, pretty much the same as my daily life now

Shapez 2

It takes place in (outer) space so presumably I'd die pretty quickly.

The long dark.

Assuming the game mechanics are still in place? I'll be fine. Maybe I'll even live a few years on the Great Bear island.

However, if I am in that scenario with real world mechanics? I'm Fucking dead, so hard, so fast. Then again I guess the wildlife would be less aggressive and maybe people would actually be around. Still probably dead, though.

Fallout 4 ... So pretty screwed

Minetest, backrooms test. I would not die, but being alone in the world, and walking monotoneous corridors would quickly destroy my sanity.

Escape from Tarkov. Yeah, I'll be dead shortly.

ANIMAL CROSSING LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

Hearthstone. So... Fine? I guess? I'm in a StormWind tavern as a human, and if I die I can resurrect at the nearest graveyard. Seems fine to me.

Lately, I have little time so the only thing I play is smash bros with my wife when she wants to. I would not fare well as "squishy desk worker man"

Friends vs Friends. I would have a fun life.

Spiderman 2.

I live in the suburbs of Chicago. Not much changes, except the super elite have some insane tech that might as well be magic. Oh, and I guess super powers are real.

Calisto protocol. Yeah I'm dead I'm a terrible way.

College Football 25, I’m good, worst case scenario is getting the best job ever, fired college football coach

dark souls i'm pretty fucked

Splatoon 3 is also the last game I have played. I would be fucked, because I would die of a heart attack after losing a X rank battle.

Guess I'm playing cards in the tavern with Thrall and Uther!

I have three lives, death match to the end. I think it would be never ending battles if I won. Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Team Fortress Two. If I'm anywhere near the game's main locations, I'm dead. If I'm not... it's basically Earth. If I could get my hands on a medi-gun I'd be set.

Well... I got my car, i got my workshop, lets explore that zone, I'll be fine!

Space Engineers scrapyard scenario. So... Satreus has oxygen, so as long as I can scavenge a power source to power my suit recyclers, there's not a lot that'll be a problem. Wander around collecting stuff. Make a comfy habitat.

Diablo 3 ... fuck.

GTAV online - I would totally end up being screwed with all of the mayhem in the public lobbies. I told my wife I think we'd probably be an unseen NPC homebodies never setting foot outside and ordering from the Pizza place. :)

If it was the GTAV Story mode, I think I'd be much better off and be part of the beach groups as I love the ocean IRL.

Deep rock galactic, there's no way I'm not getting eaten

Forza Horizon 5, it's fine, I can drive a car.

I'd be just fine. Perhaps I'll respawn once or twice but at least I'll have fun

Core keeper, not too bad if I stay near the core and chill

Oh geez, I'd be in Silent Hill 1's Midwich Elementary School. I'm gonna have to fight the kids and roaches and the lizard boss to get out.

assuming im just me and don't have the abilities of runners then pretty screwed as last thing I played was the old genesis version of shadowrun. I have no cyberware or any real skills for the world

DayZ

Running zombies? Yeah that's a wrap.

Last game I played was.. I forgor, but let's just say Final Fantasy XII almost a month ago, since that's my best guess.

The lead protagonist is a 17 year old twink with a cheese wedge for hair, and, overall.. not very strong. I can confidently say I'm a little stronger. So, can I survive in Ivalice? Probably.

In fact, I could probably enjoy it. Looming threat of an empire trying to gain control over my home? Big whoop. I'm killing tomato guys. Adjusting may prove a little difficult, though. Distant past, and all.. but, hey. Airships. Magic. Being Captain Basch. What am I losing here? Not much.

..I daresay this is an improvement.

..But let's say I'm transported to Horizon. The other recent play. Spoilers.

Within the context of Horizon, it's literally this universe in the future. This bodes well. However, giant fucking metal animals. Perhaps Aloy could turn me into an adept fighter, I don't know. Still.. giant fucking metal animals. I died a lot in the game, and, therefore, assume that's most universes. Aloy, though, doesn't seem like the type to brand me a curse and burn me at the stake. I live!

I exist as a very, very rare "Old One" who actually lived in the past and isn't a psychopath.. completely.

Being an Old One, I hold knowledge. Lots of knowledge. The Focus existing gives me access to a level of technology that I should have no business messing with. I'm brainrotted and need therapy. Certainly an interesting addition to the world.

I assume I drop within the latest existing point in the universe. So, Londra is dead, thank fuck. Most immediate threat, vanquished. Issue: Nemesis. I don't even know what Nemesis is, but it sounds.. cataclysmic. This is slightly stressful. However, the power of the third game existing, and definitely having an ending where you beat Nemesis, will provide peace of mind going forward into this unknown. That's right, Sylens. Aloy was right to stay. I'm the genius, now.

I could also get down with this. Not as comfortably as FFXII, but possibly more fun. The future is yesterday! A mix of distant past and far future. Interesting.

I am currently playing Armored Core 6. IDK if that would be cool or scary... Do I have an AC? 🤔

Hoplite or Chess, I'd be so fucked 😅

Caveblazers

I'd be dead quickly.

Ace Combat 7, which has an A-10 that can somehow achieve supersonic speeds and 40 UGBs... really depends on how many ground targets there are compared to air targets, as it's not the most maneuverable.

No no no, I'd rather not be a three dimensional human in the world of Paper Mario. Bro turns into airplanes and boats. If they fold me like that, I'm in for a painful and uncharacteristic death in that game.

Well I guess I would probably just stand very still, move forward one or two squares... and probably die. I guess if I ever move I might just stand face to face with a black dude until the end of my life.

Not sure how to feel about it tbh.

I have been playing Resident Evil Village. Yeah, I am screwed.

Descent, because some asshole playing Asteroids came and blew up the asteroid I was playing in from the outside before I could destroy the power reactor within...
