discussion If you could pick any book, game, movie, tv show, or comic to live in after you die what would you pick?

There is never any real danger and at the end of the day even all the bad women are good and fall in love with batman (Adam West)

In their defense it is Adam West.

The 60's campy Batman AVN needs to happen. Think of what could be in the utility belt....

Ah yes. Think of all the possibilities of what could be in that utility belt.... All the possibilities....

So many possibilities, but no one cultured enough to make it happen.

I dont have the know how nor the means so alas i am unable to assist

I played Outer Wilds recently. Yeah, I would die pretty damn quick all over again, but it would be magical to experience myself.

If I had plot armor, I would definitely choose to reincarnate into any xianxia or xuanhuan novel—but with one condition: my plot armor must be invincible. Otherwise, I’d die in less than an hour.

I can come up with ideas and write. Programming and art.... can't really help. Unless someone wants to make a Gamemaking For Dummies guide to both. I can write a good AI prompt, but that doesn't spit out consistent characters lol

It would be very magical and honestly entertaining. My problem is I always end up flying into the sun.

I suppose I could allow this but youd have to explain why youd need it in fine detail. Almost like selling to god why you need invincibility

I can code with AI pretty well but its also not consistent and im still learning how to make it into a desktop pc app efficiently.

Without plot armor. Random young master see me and whips me for no reason instantly and ı die. This is how typical xianxia works.

Yeah, I can see how you definitely don't want the typical NPC treatment in a lot of worlds

Ill give you plot armor for a term of 1 year. hows that sound? as well as some extra powers if I deem you interesting enough for them.

Yahhhhh

Maybe in other worlds, but in the xianxia world? No way. In xianxia worlds, there are elders who have been alive for thousands, even tens of thousands of years. A one-year-old armor sounds nice, but it’s not enough on its own. The extra powers you’ve granted might be interesting, but I don’t think any “ordinary” special power would stand a chance against those ancient monsters.

star trek next generation. I would be a Q, then I could do pretty much anything. Just to be clear, I would not use my powers to hurt anyone. I would really like to explore time and the universe... see amazing things, to understand the mysteries that most people will never know.

Oh they can be I assure you. But id need to know more about this world to fully know what to make the powers

I can respect this. It would be an enjoyable life

Xianxia comes from China, its a fantasy genre that basically means immortal heroes or something like that. The stories usually have these characters who work on building up their spiritual power, getting all sorts of supernatural stuff, and they are always pushing to reach immortality. People who seek to achieve immortality are called cultivators. In xianxia stories, the main character’s journey is typically one of transforming from an ordinary mortal into someone capable of destroying the world with a single move.

Sounds like being stuck in DBZ or something similar. Wouldn't it get tiring after a while?

hmmm I can work with this. let me cook

To some sure but to others probably not. You have a constant goal to move towards

Think of it as a game where you keep advancing to increasingly difficult areas. In Xianxia stories, when a character becomes the strongest person in the world, they gain the power to move on to a higher-level world. In that higher-level world, they realize that their current power is considered the lowest tier, and they strive to climb the ranks in that new world. This cycle continues indefinitely until the storywriter gets bored or decides to end the story.

Star Trek: TNG is great, but I'd wanna be on DS9. Either way, if you're yourself, you're an archaeological find, and weird stuff happens often enough that you don't need a cover story. Imagine making holodeck programs and critiquing established history. Even when your history didn't match theirs, they'd just classify it as a mirror universe.
