Tolkien's Arda, First Age, Beleriand.
Yes, I know the clock for it's utter destruction would be ticking. Still, the way it's described in the books has kept me yearning to see such vistas with my own eyes.

Poptropica Skullduggery Island
I’m unable to play modern pirate games because i compare them all to this insanely simple flash game and I don’t get the same vibes
Stardew Valley, ATLA.
The world of Bluey and Friends.
Raw Shark Texts world would be very cool to live in. Go explore and live in unspace forever.
I think the place where I would love to live forever would be Stone Hill zone in the first Spyro the Dragon video game. I guess the whole world in that game is wonderful, but something about those beautiful rolling hills, and that wonderful music feels like heaven to me. It's simple but I always felt this way about it.
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
One i made alongside someone else for a roleplay years ago. It was epic :(
I'm confused, why the frown?
the rp reached a hiatus halfway through. We were starting to unveil the mysteries of the past
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...
Stargate SG1.
Just got to take a nap one time in a sarcophegus to fix everything. Enough to fix the major stuff, not enough to be turned into an asshole.
We already live in the Stargate world, we just don’t know about it.
Stardew Valley is the obvious choice, but I'll go with something more obscure and say Glie
Chilling farm life without worrying about rent and food. You even surviving without work anytime.
Galorian, the Pathfinder setting. I imagine most people with any kind of education here on earth could live an easy life as a wizard, but being blessed by Desna might not be that hard for someone who left their world behind. Wandering in service to the great dreamer might be a really nice life.
And since earth canonically exists in the setting i could use some wizardy-woo to teleport there if i ever need something that isn't easy to get on galorian (or whatever plane or planet i move to)
Dark Souls. I want to experience death over and over again but get up and keep going, because there's is an actual real goal to strive for.
You really want to live in a world that is rotting and is so bad that theres actually a good argument to be made for just letting it all stop forever?
People forget that all souls games are set specifically in periods of total collapse. Between these there have been thousands of years of hyperbolic prosperity. Someone built Lordran, Lotric and Drangleic you know
It would be like trading an apple for another apple, so yeah
Narnia! I have read all 7 books multiple times over the years and get lost in the world each time.
I like the 40k universe, but fuck actually living in it.
It depends really. Big chunk of Imperial core is living somewhat fine without much of an outside threat. If you're luckly to be born on a planet that does well economically you may live a happy life of decent sci-fi.
Not every single imperial world is a hive world full of gangs and mutants that experiences an ork invasion, genestealer infestation, and a chaos corruption simultaneously lol.
Reading some of non-spacemarine novels like the Eisenhorn series shows a lot about how common imperial worlds live.
Even without external bad things it's still not great. You still have the possibility of conscription into the guard. You still have a somewhat feudal government system. Depending on the dominant faction in the sector, you have to deal with their beliefs, on top of not ever appearing heretical. Punishment for heresy can include entire family trees, or entire blocks.
On top of all that, you still have the constant threat of warp storms. They could consume the planet or just block travel to your system. Either is likely a death sentence.
Good news is you won't live long anyway
Same with me and the Game of Thrones universe
