oh, definitely TNG-era Star Trek.
Socialist Space Utopia where I can be or do whatever I like anywhere I like, free of need and want? Sounds awesome!
What would I do? Explore the endless opportunities!
Star Trek Socialist Space Utopia
That’s something totally I’m up for too
As far as fictional societies to live in goes it’s hard to beat an optimistic sci fi setting lmao.
Although I might choose the Ascian civilization from FF14, as long as it’s before the Final Days. Eternal life and post scarcity powered by magic, and the way most people self actualize is by literally creating life like gods. If it’s early enough I would travel to other planets myself and possibly avert the apocalypse altogether.

That is until the occasional apocalyptic events (assimilated Earth in First Contact), or the upcoming Dominion War…
But if you’re living on a planet far from the fighting, sure there might be a slight change in your day-to-day, but you wouldn’t be consumed by it. Even living in the Alpha Centauri system would be far from the fighting but close enough in to be a core world in the Federation.
well, technically, FC assimilated Earth happened in an alternate timeline, but you make a good point about the Domino War and wanting to avoid that. So, yeah, I’d want to arrive after that ended.
It was never said to be socialist. At best, the federation gave rations to its soldiers. I hate that little myth, its not canon.
You haven’t seen the same Star Trek as… well, everyone else.
Huh, I honestly forgot about that line. And I haven’t seen the movie in a decade or more.
My bad.
The Shire. I’d just live in my Hobbit hole, eat second breakfasts, and take long walks. Peaceful!
I don’t think it’s canon but didn’t Tolkien write sequels where the Hobbits are forced out of the shire by the expanding humans, eventually turning back into the nomadic harfoots they once were?
Probably one of the future utopias, where there is no need for material wealth, where we have reached the point of being able to upload (and download back again) our consciousness, so we can have virtual worlds and real ones. No scarcity. Where we’ve mastered wormholes for travel.
On one of the Culture worlds, as depicted by Iain M Banks.
I’d just be one of the hedonist citizens though. If Special Circumstances suddenly wanted my involvement, I’d be ‘No, thanks!’
I’m having a hard time choosing between an Orbital or a GSV.
But then, I’m also effectively immortal, so why not both for a few thousand years?
The Matrix.
All of my fellow humans and brain driven meat related organisms love the matrix and would live to live there.
Don’t you, fellow human.
Totally not a bot. Just another radical human having normal human conversations about the matrix.
Who’s to say you aren’t already living in it?
c/totallynotrobots?
Harry Potter/Howarts, but in a boring ass house, or another generation where Voldemort or Voldemort gang are not seen.
Granted! But you are still a muggle with zero connection to the magic world. Your life remains unchanged
What did I do to you (•_•)
TBH even during Voldemort’s era I don’t think many normal folks were impacted except if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time or briefly when they took over the Ministry. So it’d of been pretty minor overall for your average wizard I think (correct me if I’m wrong, been a while since I read the books).
except if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time
Oh, so average LATAM experience, maybe I can cope with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The back to the future future without biff and with real hover boards. I’d do normal life
Chilling with hobbits sounds pretty cool.
Eat lots of good, local food, drink loads of beer, smoke tons of weed out of sweet ass churchwarden pipes.
Dinotopia: cottagecore, atop a hadrosaur.
Genshin Impact would be pretty sick
Only if you have a vision (or were godlike before visiting like a certain pair of twins)
One without designer suffering.
I like world-building. I’d just choose one of my favorite works.
Forgotten realms. How fucking cool would be to see real magic and dragons and shit.
In my opinion there are so many better options for a tabletop fantasy RPG setting that don’t involve hereditary magocracies in all but name and other
bullshit, or at least make it less glaringly miserable for those living in it.
Log Horizon.
I like videogames, being transported to a world that is an MMO, even down to menu boxes would be awesome.
I’d pick the world from Malazan: Book of the Fallen. I’d probably die.
