    Cities: Skylines - no problem, it’s a great place to live! … As long as your house is near an evacuation shelter, on account of all the tornados and stuff.

      Same for me, my city is pretty nice and I don’t have extreme weather enabled so no tornadoes in mine.

    Technically it was Pokemon as my 4 year old is now stuck because the last stage of the new open world game has actual story line to follow and he can’t read. Was able to catch a hundred Pokemon, beat all gyms all by basically button mashing om which attack to do.

    So yeah I’ll take $20M as humans dont die in Pokemon.

    No to MK. Game is rigged as everyone else has superpowers.

    And the bonus bonus is a no go not because of not seeing anyone but because then I’d have money in that game world and that isn’t very useful.

    I probably won’t, the last video game I played was Minecraft, I can’t imagine myself surviving such harsh environment.

    Just beat Tears of the Kingdom. Great game. I feel like for a country embroiled in a magical apocalypse most places are super comfy and safe to live in. 20 mil? Easy money.

    No, I am not participating in Mortal Kombat.

    One way ticket? It’s gotta be Pokemon. It’s the isekai holy grail. Living there would be way better than any of the shitty games, imagine just the travel lifestyle alone. Food and healthcare are free and plentiful. You can make easy luxury money having your favorite critter beat the brakes off of some snot-nosed kid’s rat.

    Absolutely. I was playing Cities: Skylines.

    I would spend that year driving around in my doughnut truck, working at Dino Oil or Healthy Weeds, enjoy my weekends at the parking lot or the bouncy castle, and run to high ground during the next tsunami.

    After winning the cash I’d ask to be transported to the Ark universe, and then I’d spend the rest of my life in a glass mansion, training armies of dinosaurs to do my bidding.
    JK, I’d probably spend the rest of my very short life running naked from a dilophosaur while screaming. Still more fun than reality.

    Hell no, I played MyHouse.wad last. I would either die a horrible death and go mad in an inescapable empty hospital or I would just go mad from the rest of the game. I wouldn’t even be able to trust the world when I got back.

    Before that I played Detroit: Become Human. That one seems survivable to me. I’d just go about my day and be nice to everyone I meet.

    Hogwarts, and I think I could survive just fine even without magic. Even if I do end up squatting in a house or trying to get work in the Hogwarts kitchens with the house elves.

    The last game I played was Pokémon Go. I’d survive…it’d be boring as hell but I’d survive, if Niantic survives haha that layoff was a bit scary for PoGo
