Electric Challenge - Stage 8: a game setting that you would like to live in

HMM. I mean. None of the ones where monsters attack civilians at random? Also something with like...internet and good health care, and no Evil Corporations/Empires owning/threatening everyone. And not just the real world because that's boring.

I think...Glitch, maybe? MMOs give the best sense of really living in a world indefinitely, and I think that's the MMO world I've found most warm and comforting. Also, it had technology, as I recall. And energy resets, an ungendered society, and hell is just a cool place to jump.

The original game doesn't exist any more but there's a reboot which gives some idea. The fact that the world STOPPED EXISTING is kind of a downside I guess...

Maybe something like Stardew Valley then, but one of the less angsty variants like World's Dawn. Energy resets, magic, internet, and nobody trying to kill you. Sounds good.

My day in either case would be like...being a science communicator, probably? What with having lots of energy, and all the fun weird 'science' to learn and explain :D That plus I'd be doing the daily tasks required to build up RIDICULOUS PILES OF WEALTH, can't forget that.

I miss Glitch so much. It was so wholesome.

Aww, Glitch! I loved that game so much.

Me too.

I was excited to see the revival at first, and I did sign up for an account, but it's been years now and it doesn't really seem to be going anywhere. :-/

[alias_sqbr]

Yeah :/

I missed out on Glitch, clearly, but it sounds like it was a really neat place to be.

[alias_sqbr]

Yes it was lovely. Though of course nostalgia is blurring out the less great parts :)
