Ever read a book, watched a movie, or played a video game that you love the universe/world so much that you want to move there and live there forever?
Star Trek. I want to live in a post-scarcity society with incredible technology.
I’ll see your Star Trek and raise you The Culture.
The Culture is objectively the safer answer. Living in Star Trek feels like it carries a fairly significant daily risk of being assimilated / used in a Romulan plot / sucked into some weird negative space wedgie / having a console explode in your face for no good reason.
Meanwhile, if you’re in the Culture, you’ve pretty well got it made.
Yeah The Federation has a surprising lack of Space OSHA?
The Culture would be a grand place indeed
Right there with ya. 🖖
thay sounds amazing tbh
How about the Simpsons? A fictitious America where a man can own a house and provide for his family with one job.
Pern!
Although the person who picked the Culture is absolutely on to something.
Wow! I wasn’t the first one! I want a fire-lizard. Granted, I also want a dragon, but that seems overly presumptuous.
Hyrule, preferably the version from Breath of the Wild. I mean, yes there is the whole Ganon thing and one shouldn’t go too close to the castle, but the rest of the kingdom is pretty chill, and apparently you can make an easy living by just lazy foraging in the countryside, or by selling a handful of acorns and bugs at random stables, or by growing a grand total of eight pumpkins.
I’ll take a life as a homeless but well-fed drifter on horseback anytime over … this. gestures vaguely at the current state of the world
For a world that are post apocalyptic, Hyrule sure seems relatively chill tbh. But obviously i will choose pre-apocalyptic Hyrule
The Culture and it isn’t even close.
My thought exactly.
yep
Nice try, truck-kun.

Stardew Valley is pretty laid-back and low-stakes. Relationships are incredibly easy–just give them a fish or a rock or whatever. I could get into it.
I love the world of TES 3: Morrowind. It’s amazing mixture of green plains, harsh deserts, mountains, swamps, sea shores, islands, hills and all between sprinkled with alien like vegetation. Not sure if I wanted to live there forever (with all the slavery, undead and wild beasts), but ever since I played it for the first time I absolitely fell in love with the world and its atmosphere.
Yeah my first thought is The Elder Scrolls universe as well. Though I’d probably prefer Skyrim’s world, especially as someone who lived too long in a tropical area and misses colder temperature. I think I’d love to live in a cottage in an eternal fall of Riften.
LoTR would be hella cool to live in, especially in The Shire.
I would absolutely love to just chill with my hobbit friends, tend to the fields, then either party or have a lovely dinner party at night and head back to my hobbit hole. Then wake n bake in the morning and do it all over again!
One word, Wales.
Instructions unclear - moved to Newport. Not the experience I was hoping for…
If you’ve never been to Fannies Cafe “We’re always open” then you’ve never lived.
I have it pretty bad for The Elder Scrolls. I’ve returned to the series time and time again for decades now, primarily Morrowind and Skyrim, and spend a huge amount of time each playthrough reading every single book and immersing myself in Nirn and it’s lore. I genuinely feel humbled by all of it, and something about that universe, the depth of its history with its unreliable narrators leaving much to speculation, as well as that immense sea of stars, Masser and Secunda, and the guardian constellations watching over you at night to the overwhelming swells of Jeremy Soule’s music is just profoundly moving to me in a way I can’t quite put into words.
Same, I also mentioned in other reply I feel so comfortable in Riften
Sailor moon. I watched it originally in high school and I’m still a huge fan, I would love to be in crystal Tokyo.
Hehe, good choice!
My fiancee is a huge Sailor Moon fan I took her to Hikawa shrine in japan last year. We saw a couple other local sailor moon locations too it was great. The day after I took her to the waterfall at the base of Tokyo tower and proposed to her.
Congratulations :')

The movie from studio Ghibli Whisper of the Heart is so beautiful I wish I can live there :(
Ghibli studio man…
One of the only happy tears that happened in my life is probably when I watched Howl’s Moving Castle. The sound track, the beautiful animation… I just can’t
Yeah they really make beautiful movies!
Avatar : TLA i don’t even need to be a bender tbh
I thought this, but, like many worlds, it seems like it isn’t so great if you don’t have plenty of money. There are places where this is less true, but still…
If, however, I could be a bender (sremoveds in UK) then that would actually be pretty cool…
The world of Bluey and Friends.
