YourFavouriteNPC@feddit.de · 7 pts · 3y

Sounds like a long, painful way to go

Rimjob_Bob@beehaw.org · 9 pts · 3y (1 reply)

There's worse ways to go I guess

YourFavouriteNPC@feddit.de · 4 pts · 3y

Depends... Are you going to die from giving or from receiving one? Or in other words: who's bob?

YourFavouriteNPC@feddit.de · 8 pts · 3y

Not at all! People are gonna be pissed at the devs and they'll patch my death scene right out of the game, or at least make it optional. I'm immortal, baby!

DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Died fighting for freedom of technology and the destruction of corporations

fork@beehaw.org · 7 pts · 3y (1 reply)

If I must die to a fork, it'd be funny if it was this one.

tubbadu@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y

or perhaps stabbed by a table fork?

SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 3y (2 replies)

killed in a crusade (shoe-ade?) started by a cult of spiders that have a shoe as their holy symbol, in order to liberate the promised shoe (due to the sheer scale, the item doubles as both symbol and holy land)

could be worse, I guess

RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 3y

Heart attack from yelling at my computer screen, I guess

ebike_enjoyer@beehaw.org · 7 pts · 3y

Hit by a car. Which, statistically, is probably a solid guess

Solaris1789@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 3y

I get assasinated by oracle for not owning a Solaris license and my death is ruled out as a suicide. Alternatively i get thrown into the sun somehow

SmokeInFog@midwest.social · 6 pts · 3y

Shit, I'm choking and I can't see... what direction am I going?

304@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I honestly have no idea, which opens up a whole world of possibilities!

Blacklight@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Death by 304 minor injuries?

304@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y

Aw man, that sounds excruciating.

FUsername@feddit.de · 4 pts · 3y

I could offer to you: HTTP Status 304: Not modified

Guess it would be easier to die from modification, though.

Null@pawb.social · 6 pts · 3y

Into the void I go

Pepp3r@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y

I think it would actually be pretty long and painful :(

nLuLukna@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y

Maybe you move into a quantum state of being both in theory and practice at the same time

TheElectroness@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y

HenryWong327@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Same, I guess I have to fight an evil clone of myself or something.

jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social · 1 pts · 3y

To be fair, it does seem like there’s at least 326 others, maybe more, so that doesn’t seem unlikely

argv_minus_one@beehaw.org · 3 pts · 3y

There's a Mortal Kombat character with the same name, so…you lose a mirror match. Fatality.

GoldenDoge@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y (3 replies)

suicide? or you die to a clone of yourself? idk

jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social · 5 pts · 3y (2 replies)

::: spoiler CW - suicide Lol I mean, the first one wouldn’t even surprise me 😓 :::

Helix@feddit.de · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

If you're suicidal, keep in mind there always will be a tomorrow and no suffering is endless. Life has ups and downs and even in the worst downs, you can usually manage to find happiness after a while. I hope you have at least an OK day.

jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social · 2 pts · 3y

Oh, for sure! I’m fine now but it was a thing like years ago. Didn’t mean to concern anyone, sorry

Thank you 😊

Zagaroth@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 3y

Um, I get isekai'd into a dragon god with mirror-twin kitsune goddess as his wives? So pretty damn good, though my actual wife might object a touch.

My username is an old D&D PC of mine who has evolved greatly over the decades and is currently the pantheon head in a campaign/book setting. Not sure how else to match what the name means to the idea of the thread title.

argv_minus_one@beehaw.org · 5 pts · 3y

My existence triggers undefined behavior in the laws of physics, causing the universe to glitch for a moment and then collapse entirely. Everyone alive at the time is trapped for eternity, unable to move or do anything, and sees nothing but some cryptic words suspended in an endless black void:

CheshireSnake@lemmy.one · 5 pts · 3y

I'm still confused if it's going to be bad or trippy.

LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 3y

A. I'm okay with it B. I'm not okay with it. C. I haven't a clue what it means. D. Maybe it means suicide, if so, I guess that is the choice I made?

PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y

Oh shit, over 1000 years of pure suffering.

Satiric_Weasel@beehaw.org · 4 pts · 3y

I'm imagining the chest-burster scene from alien, but a it's a Weasel dressed as a caricature of an early 20th century monopolist.

lvxferre@beehaw.org · 4 pts · 3y

Death by a specially illiterate Lucifer, I guess?

Context for my username: it's the result of my 15yo edgy self trying to say "lightbringer" in Latin, without knowing how Latin compounds work. ("Lucifer" is fully regular, by the way.) Eventually however I stuck with the username across multiple sites, and it's still going strong two decades later.

CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y

If a dog who is an enlisted member of the Red Army of the USSR takes me out 1) what was I doing, 2) I probably deserved it at that point and 3) this means the USSR has been reformed

Barring a few obvious questions I think this outcome is a net positive fpr the world

Carcel@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Either in a Latin American jail or immolated by a French lamp. Burning to death would not be pleasant.

LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Cârcel means muscle cramp in Romanian, so that's another inconvenient way you might go

Carcel@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y

KnightOfOldEmpire@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y

A nickname for a character from a book I want to write... the MC doesn't and lives on in the aftermath of a fallen empire. What's left is just a petty squabbling of those who survived, who came from the foreign lands and the dammed whose machinations are yet to be fulfilled.
