    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!

      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.

        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.

    Discworld would be pretty dope, too. Just living my life there as a bystander or maybe become a wizard.

      Same but then I remember that Anhk-Morpork is supposed to small awful. I’d visit but I can’t say I I’d want to live there. But if I could bring some luggage that’d be great.

    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.

    Harry Potter/Howarts, but in a boring ass house, or another generation where Voldemort or Voldemort gang are not seen.

    The Culture. Live as long as you want, as whatever gender you feel like at the moment, doing whatever you want, with all the recreational drugs you could ever want on tap in your brain, and no scarcity on a living ship touring the galaxy looking for interesting places.

    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?

      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 you-are-a-serf bullshit, or at least make it less glaringly miserable for those living in it.
