    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.

    Star Trek? Hell yeah. The Borg might be a small problem and the Klingon, but no cooking, no cleaning, no need for money.

    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.

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

    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.

      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.

        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

          I highly recommend watching The Worst Guide To Factorio, which is where that quote came from. Gives a great overview of the game with awesome lines like that.

          Some other great ones include:

          Do you have a STEM degree or similar mental affliction?

          Using this very average German, we need to build an automation factory, and to do this, we’re going to become more obsessed with belts than an anime protagonist so that we can accomplish more insertions than a sounding enthusiast.

          It was never about winning, it’s about sending a message. This planet is alive, and I’m going to teach it fear. And in order to do that, we’re going to be expanding harder than a furry artist trying to make rent.

          Hope you started this several hours ago, because now it’s time for the Kovarex enrichment process. … Fun fact: It’s named after the game’s lead developer and works by exposing the uranium 238 to the radioactive yikes that is his Reddit posts.

          Scale up our circuit production to an absurd degree and consume them like they’re Doritos. Size does matter and anyone who tells you otherwise is a bottom, and I’m always on top of my game.

          And probably my favorite:

          Finally, I have to address a bit of an elephant in the room. The lead developer of this game kind of sucks. I truly hope they’ve had a redemption arc since their controversy but I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending this game without acknowledging it. So to balance the scales I’ve done what any reasonable person would do in this situation. I learned LUA out of spite and made a mod that lets you be gay and select pronouns.

      You only have to optimize the factory enough to protect yourself. If you can progress faster than the biters, you’re probably fine.
