    Why? Because I’ve now fooled you and don’t have to be confined to a game cartridge. Muahahahaha.

    (Side note: It’s been a long time since I’ve been on reddit. I miss that community.)

      Sure but everything would be blocky and you would be stuck with villagers saying hmm all the time. Unless you decide to live alone with the lights always on so a creeper, enderman or zombie doesn’t get you.

    Is this like Death Becomes Her immortality where your meat suit is not invincible and no longer self-healing? If I didn’t have to worry about painful and horrible disfigurement, I’d probably choose Skyrim. If I have to be careful, then something real chill like Travel Town.

    So, I’d need more details. How exactly would my consciousness exist within the game? Would the game be subject to be modded or updated in the future? Like, Skyrim with mods is a good option, but World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14 would allow me to continue being social with real humans, but those latter games are very subject to future change.

    Back on the 1st question, there’s a significant difference if my consciousness occupies a random NPC or I become the equivalent of a player character. Also important: what would happen to me if the game crashed or the computer/servers went down for whatever reason?

    why would you want to be immortal? everything ends eventually, so why would you want to be the only one forced to stay?

    Red dead 2.

    Gives me open wilderness with the very streamlined ability to hunt and live off the land.

    Tap for spoiler

    Just got to make it past the TB and then boom, reincarnation as John and have a picture perfect family and farm.

    I should replay it soon.

    Would Enter the Matrix be cheating? I could just plug in and go and do anything at that point.
