Star Trek. I want to live in a post-scarcity society with incredible technology.

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'll see your Star Trek and raise you The Culture.

[–] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Culture is objectively the safer answer. Living in Star Trek feels like it carries a fairly significant daily risk of being assimilated / used in a Romulan plot / sucked into some weird negative space wedgie / having a console explode in your face for no good reason.

Meanwhile, if you're in the Culture, you've pretty well got it made.

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah The Federation has a surprising lack of Space OSHA?

[–] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The Culture would be a grand place indeed

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Right there with ya. 🖖

thay sounds amazing tbh

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

How about the Simpsons? A fictitious America where a man can own a house and provide for his family with one job.

[–] Balinares@pawb.social 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pern!

Although the person who picked the Culture is absolutely on to something.

[–] valen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Wow! I wasn't the first one! I want a fire-lizard. Granted, I also want a dragon, but that seems overly presumptuous.

[–] justlookingfordragon@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hyrule, preferably the version from Breath of the Wild. I mean, yes there is the whole Ganon thing and one shouldn't go too close to the castle, but the rest of the kingdom is pretty chill, and apparently you can make an easy living by just lazy foraging in the countryside, or by selling a handful of acorns and bugs at random stables, or by growing a grand total of eight pumpkins.

I'll take a life as a homeless but well-fed drifter on horseback anytime over ... this. gestures vaguely at the current state of the world

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

For a world that are post apocalyptic, Hyrule sure seems relatively chill tbh. But obviously i will choose pre-apocalyptic Hyrule

[–] Azathoth@fedia.io 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Culture and it isn't even close.

[–] SrTobi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

My thought exactly.

Stardew Valley is pretty laid-back and low-stakes. Relationships are incredibly easy--just give them a fish or a rock or whatever. I could get into it.

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love the world of TES 3: Morrowind. It's amazing mixture of green plains, harsh deserts, mountains, swamps, sea shores, islands, hills and all between sprinkled with alien like vegetation. Not sure if I wanted to live there forever (with all the slavery, undead and wild beasts), but ever since I played it for the first time I absolitely fell in love with the world and its atmosphere.

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah my first thought is The Elder Scrolls universe as well. Though I'd probably prefer Skyrim's world, especially as someone who lived too long in a tropical area and misses colder temperature. I think I'd love to live in a cottage in an eternal fall of Riften.

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

LoTR would be hella cool to live in, especially in The Shire.

I would absolutely love to just chill with my hobbit friends, tend to the fields, then either party or have a lovely dinner party at night and head back to my hobbit hole. Then wake n bake in the morning and do it all over again!

Instructions unclear - moved to Newport. Not the experience I was hoping for...

I have it pretty bad for The Elder Scrolls. I've returned to the series time and time again for decades now, primarily Morrowind and Skyrim, and spend a huge amount of time each playthrough reading every single book and immersing myself in Nirn and it's lore. I genuinely feel humbled by all of it, and something about that universe, the depth of its history with its unreliable narrators leaving much to speculation, as well as that immense sea of stars, Masser and Secunda, and the guardian constellations watching over you at night to the overwhelming swells of Jeremy Soule's music is just profoundly moving to me in a way I can't quite put into words.

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Same, I also mentioned in other reply I feel so comfortable in Riften

[–] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The movie from studio Ghibli Whisper of the Heart is so beautiful I wish I can live there :(

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ghibli studio man....

One of the only happy tears that happened in my life is probably when I watched Howl's Moving Castle. The sound track, the beautiful animation... I just can't

[–] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah they really make beautiful movies!

[–] OddFed@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago
[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sailor moon. I watched it originally in high school and I'm still a huge fan, I would love to be in crystal Tokyo.

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My fiancee is a huge Sailor Moon fan I took her to Hikawa shrine in japan last year. We saw a couple other local sailor moon locations too it was great. The day after I took her to the waterfall at the base of Tokyo tower and proposed to her.

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Congratulations :')

[–] sailormoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Hehe, good choice!

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Avatar : TLA i don't even need to be a bender tbh

[–] daddyjones@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I thought this, but, like many worlds, it seems like it isn't so great if you don't have plenty of money. There are places where this is less true, but still...

If, however, I could be a bender (sremoveds in UK) then that would actually be pretty cool...

[–] Sacabambaspis@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

The world of Bluey and Friends.

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stargate SG1.

Just got to take a nap one time in a sarcophegus to fix everything. Enough to fix the major stuff, not enough to be turned into an asshole.

[–] EPBJ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

We already live in the Stargate world, we just don’t know about it.

Tolkien's Arda, First Age, Beleriand.

Yes, I know the clock for it's utter destruction would be ticking. Still, the way it's described in the books has kept me yearning to see such vistas with my own eyes.

[–] Lath@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Depends on context. Do I get fantastic powers or just regular "dump 'em in the middle of somewhere and let them figure it out"?

If the former, I gotta fix that Harry Potter world. It ticks me off.
If the latter, a version of reality where people stay true to their ideals and don't just spot random bullshit. It might be better, it might be worse, I want to see the difference.

[–] anarchost@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I don't personally, but would you like to learn about reality shifting, where people really believe they can do this?

[–] Trainguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think the place where I would love to live forever would be Stone Hill zone in the first Spyro the Dragon video game. I guess the whole world in that game is wonderful, but something about those beautiful rolling hills, and that wonderful music feels like heaven to me. It's simple but I always felt this way about it.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Stardew Valley, ATLA.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Raw Shark Texts world would be very cool to live in. Go explore and live in unspace forever.

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Galorian, the Pathfinder setting. I imagine most people with any kind of education here on earth could live an easy life as a wizard, but being blessed by Desna might not be that hard for someone who left their world behind. Wandering in service to the great dreamer might be a really nice life.

And since earth canonically exists in the setting i could use some wizardy-woo to teleport there if i ever need something that isn't easy to get on galorian (or whatever plane or planet i move to)

[–] morgin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Poptropica Skullduggery Island

I’m unable to play modern pirate games because i compare them all to this insanely simple flash game and I don’t get the same vibes
