That's such a hard choice.
Mabinogi would be great just keep on grinding forever sounds great plus fun fantasy world to run around in cute fashion.
But then I can also do the same thing in Minecraft plus I get to creat insane redstone builds.

Clearly the only correct answer is dead or alive extreme beach volleyball.
Buncha queers in here or something SMH.

Stardew Valley. Have my own little farm and just ignore the goings on.
This brings up some questions. Like how realistic does the game look to the person trapped inside? Are censors that the game normally has still active? What about live service games or MMOs? Do you die if they go out of business and they take down the servers?
But most importantly, how do I know I'll actually be uploaded into that video game?
Minecraft, I guess. You’re gonna run out of things to do in any game, so if you’re gonna be stuck in one, might as well be one that’s got a ton of mods.
A heavily modded Skyrim, nice open world plus all the extras from the mods also it would be easy to raise levels until you were a bsast just by blocking with a shield.
So you just want to make sure your consciousness crashes every now and then?
Stellaris.
Going to be a space emperor forever.
And you might eventually die, after you have become a fallen empire yourself, and get stomped by some next level crisis, while the AI empires are less than useless. I consider this a plus though. Eternity is a very long time, and boredom is a very strong emotion. No game could keep me entertained for eternity.
I'm imagining that "living in the game" implies something a bit more personal than the game interfaces. So I'd get to attend decadent high-society events, travel around and see the worlds under my domain, meet interesting aliens, have an affair with the fungoid president of planet AZ-12-69 (...)
I mean sure, you're right, I would eventually get my shit wrecked by an endgame crisis and things would go very tits up for my space empire. I'm not that good at Stellaris, just sorta okay, and something tells me that not having the birds' eye view that the game gives you would make the strategising even harder.
... But it is also worth taking into account that we can go beyond the interactions the game allows, so boredom would take quite a bit longer to set in.
Rush Titans, make a Behemoth Planetcraft or five, or just one Systemcraft. Even the Blokkats can't handle that level of firepower. The fleet power isn't a number anymore. Just a white skull
The Sims. Because I'd still be able to enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches. And if I die again, I'd just become a ghost.
Probably something like RuneScape, not because I particularly like playing it, but more so because that game is one of the least likely to ever be shut down. The idea of living out my afterlife all alone in an abandoned or offline game is terrifying.
Flower. I need a break from this country
Minecraft with mods. Tasty food, unlimited creation, tons of stuff to try
Include computercraft and you can set up a connection back to the real world!

AC Black Flag. Welcome to the Caribbean, love!
Stardew Valley. Laid back, no real responsibilities, plenty to occupy myself with, easy to make friends or to ignore people, tasty foods.

Scribblenauts. Not my favorite series but with the ability to summon basically anything I want forever I could be essentially a god.
[WORD NOT RECOGNIZED]
I'll finagle it.
Probably Disney Dreamlight Valley or Zelda:BotW.
Definitely not Dragon Age or Game of Thrones.
Choosing BotW and not TotK is wild. You wanna get lasered by guardians for eternity?
Not only that, but the sky islands are gorgeous, and you have access to tons of cool machine parts.
I would be perfectly content living through eternity in the comfort of Hateno Village
Satisfactory or No Man's Sky
Infinity Nikki 😅
I am way outside if the age demographic but it's so cute. If not that, probably Cyperpunk.
Monster Girl Quest
Mass effect probably assuming it behaves like real life seems like an interesting universe despite the calamity thing.
Animal Crossing.
Chill AF, rarely deal with other people, most dangerous thing in the entire universe makes you look silly until you sleep it off.

Sarcastic Response - one of the GTA Games. Preferably GTA4 for my own 2000s nostalgia reasons. Why? Because its the closest thing to life as we knew it before real life started surpassing the absurdity of the GTA Universe
Serious Response - I cant think of any one game I'd want to spend an eternity in right now, so I'll cop out with an "MMO". Probably Second Life. Yeah its full of freaks but you can create stuff and interact with people. Excuse me while I retire into my doom fortress on the original "metaverse"
Wait, so like, do we just play the game forever? Or are we actually going into the game world?
Can we break the boundaries of the game mechanics since we're now "inside" it? Or are we still limited to what the game lets us do?
Exactly this. If it is just playing the game within the existing mechanics, then no thanks, I would rather remain mortal.

Immortality can be scary. Eternity is an unfathomably long time. SCP-7179

Some mmo where they keep adding stuff. Because my fucking god would it get boring after doing the same game 24/7 after a few years. If that is not allowed I'll go with one of those 18+ rated sex games. At least I won't be bored and horny.
star trek online for the replicators alone.
And my own Sovereign Class "Science Vessel"
can't even remember what I was playing last but rp wise the rom carrier with a wing of birds of prey and the other wing drone ships was my fav.
I was just joking that a battleship class vessles is sometimes referred to as a science and exploration vessel by The Federation
Hey. Im just putting a gravity well here and if you run in to it its your own fault.
That's fair. I'm relying on The Federation's technophilia to give you a technological wedgie 5/6 times, and leave you wondering what the heck I just did. 😆
i would reject outright the very idea of immortality.
for if one considers the implications of actually existing...forever,
it would not be a blessing
but a curse.
Got it, you'll be in a Vampire: The Masquerade game.
So just pick a game with permanent death if you get existential dread about living forever.
Depends. Do I get cheat codes? If so, GTA:V. Get an awesome pad, planes, cars, helicopters. Can go on a rampage if I want or play games (golf, bowling, etc) and then just wipe it all away by dropping my wanted status to zero.
Cyberpunk. Lots to do, and ostensibly all the other video games in VR.
