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

Does Minecraft with mods count? There are so many mods that you can shape the world into whatever you want, and I think it would be nice to just explore and chill a bit

I dont see why it wouldnt count. Its basically a world you are entering with the idea of either it being random or you choosing how it is.

I 100% support this
Mistborn - Brandon Sanderson is a must read if you are into the high fantasy genre. its got magic, assassins, blood and gore, detailed political structure riddled with corruption, a pile of goo and bones that becomes very interesting, dudes with steel spikes shoved in their eyes. If you want to story to be more complicated then it is Mistborn is set in its own world, but the world is set within the Cosmere which is the universe several other of his books are set.

Malazon Books of the fallen - Steven Erikson - this is not for a 1st time reader it’s about empires, war, gods, and the cost of power. there is no main character. you dont get any explanation of how anything work (political system, magic, how/why gods are involved) your just throw in and expected to pick things up. it's pure chaos so much so i had to get AI to give a summary

Rather than following one main hero or a single quest, the series follows many overlapping stories across multiple continents and cultures, including:

• Soldiers fighting brutal imperial wars
• Immortal beings and gods manipulating events behind the scenes
• Ancient races dealing with the aftermath of past atrocities
• Ordinary people caught in world‑shaping conflicts

A common way readers describe it: It feels like stepping into a world that existed long before you arrived—and that won’t stop to explain itself.

I feel like Malazan would be a fairly bad world to live in.

Though i'd probably vibe well in Darujhistan.

that interests me immensely. I am absolutely gonna look into this


Interesting choices. Any particular reason why?

Simply: "Let's light this candle", i've always been fascinated with the "apocalypse", i'll either be on top or i'll die in a blaze of glory. Win win, i was also drunk when i commented this, so there's that.

thats a solid response and being drunk always allows thoughts out, even if they arent good ones. But still thats a fair point
