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?

    Need more info before I accept or not. Does time IRL freeze? Or do I miss a year of real life time?

    If I miss a year then nah because that’s logistical nightmares and a LOT of explaining. Plus all my stuff would probably be lost if I stop paying rent because I’m non existent for a year, including legal documents etc.

    If IRL time stops though, yeah I’d take it. Last played Ensemble Stars which is a game about idols. So the world they live in is more or less just normal modern day Earth.

    Anyway I need to know the situation with IRL while I’m gone, OP.

    I would not take the further deals because I’m disabled for the first one, and because I have people and things I like IRL for the second.

    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.

    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.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator.

    I get to fly planes for a year, and then I get enough money to buy my own plane in real life? Yeah, I’m doing fucking AWESOME. Let’s go!

    If Chess counts, hell no. I suck at chess and they’re going to make me a pawn.

    If its “real games”, then yeah I think I could live in Hateno Village for a year and be alright.

    1. Scribblenauts If I get the notebook. I am good, and I’d be willing to stay there permanently.
    2. Nope not going to Mortal Kombat.

    Been replaying Fallout New Vegas, but with mods. I might survive for a year, but I’d be playing the game entirely different. No sense in making a name for myself or picking sides in a war for the dam.

    Uuuugghh… Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is a dungeons and dragons campaign, set during a crusade against a growing Abyssal rift in the Prime Material.

    Even with my meta knowledge, I’m not sure I like my odds. That’s a dangerous fucking world man… I can’t even hide somewhere, I’ll need income to buy food somehow. Maybe I’ll join a monastic order or something. Far from the rift. I give myself 5/10 odds of survival.

    No.

    Probably not.

    I couldn’t remember the last time I played a video game.

    I realized I’d showed my kids a browser version of Super Mario Bros after taking them to the movie.

    No way I’d survive a year.

    Man, my niece swore to me that if I gave Elden Ring a try I wouldn’t regret it. I think she owes me 20 million dollars.
