    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.

    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.

    Warhammer Total war 2.

    I’m not accepting.

    Maybe if it was medieval total war I could get hired on as an assistant to someone, but total war has gone much more total war since then.

    Mortal Kombat, not unless we allow corner trapping like in the 90s.

    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.

    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 :)

    I tell him that I am currently in a simulation and thus it must be the last game I played.

    If I get a fat check that means this is all a simulation ;)

    A. Heck yes the game is called Garden Paws and you can’t die and get to tame adorable kitties and bunnies, pick flowers, etc. It’s going to be a nice vacation. B. No way, I’ll take the $20 million vacation. C. I’m still going with the first option.
