Name a place/time where you'd rather be

Name one or a few , it doesn't matter.
Escape from the here and now. Can be fantasy , real, just dream away.

If it were up to me I'd escape (permanently) to either Skyrim, Victorian London, Ancient Rome, or another planet all entirely.
Probably I'd go with Skyrim though Elves, & dragons, & medieval music & towns what's not to love?

Anywhere about 10 years ago so I could buy Bitcoins by the bucketload.

If I had a time machine, I'd go to a whole bunch of concerts.

I'd begin by going back to the first concert I ever went to. Nine Inch Nails Self Destruct Tour 1994 with Marilyn Manson & The Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. Actually, I'd probably hit a couple other shows on that tour also. With Pop Will Eat Itself, and probably Woodstock '94.

Then I'd bounce back a couple years and go to Seattle. See Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and many more.

Then I'd go see The Doors, and start working my way back forward through time. I suppose I might as well stop by the first Woodstock.

Probably about every Pink Floyd Tour through the 70s.

And all of that would just be the start.....

Eire.. in the early 1900's.. when things were self done, and you lived in the green hills.

I'd probably be killed by a brit, but meh... give me that time, to go off grid, when there was no grid to go off of. Build me a small hut, fish, farm a small stock, turn their fat into candles, and swim in the river..

Éire go Brách !

Earth in the future when Jesus reigns.


maybe Twin Peaks in the 1980s.

Mayberry in the 1960s. fried chicken, scratch mashed potatoes...though I'd miss the internet.

I'm 38 and I would say the 90's. I miss being a kid/teen with no worries.

I miss the music, the video games (especially arcades), the movies, the tv shows, the cars, etc.

I know all of that still exists, but being there during that time was just different for me.

I guess I am just getting old...

Yes, but what if you're not a guard?

I remember the 90s grunge bands , makes me feel very nostalgic , also Nirvana, soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains , memories of turning on Would superloud in the living room when my parents were out

I feel the exact same way. Those feelings started mid-30s for me. Ever since

I'm with you 100 percent on Skyrim or really anywhere in the Elder Scrolls Universe. But Skyrim is definitely my favorite! As for a more down to Earth I think I would either love to see Ancient Egypt or Medieval Ireland.

Back to the late 1960s, flower power, the best of times, best of music, best of music festivals. Who could ask for more.

PS. Cheaper beer as well.

I've felt the exact same way for a long time, and I don't see that ever changing. For the rest of my life, I'm sure I will always wish it was still the 90s. I'd rather if ALL technology had completely stopped progressing in the late 90s, and just stayed there, frozen in time.


Too bad Y2K wasn't some sort of an actual glitch in reality that reset it back to 1990 instead of 2000, over & over & over.... Relive each year of the 90's, but 10 years older each time, again and again....




eta: Now that I think about though, TV would be a big problem. Not really because of the shows, but I wouldn't be able to watch much TV after the first time. The first 3 things that come to mind are Desert Storm, O.J., and Yo MTV Raps.... nope, couldn't deal with any of that again... There was way too much of it the first time....

A couple exceptions would be: I'd like to experience the X-Files brand new again from the beginning, and I never watched Twin Peaks when it originally aired...

Kokomo.

The guard was an adventurer once , just like you .

The past sucks. kingdoms sucked, no modern medicines sucked, no usa constitution sucked, women routinely died during child birth, no internet, much lower life expectancy, no education. So much suck.


We have it so good in the united states today that people can eat meat with every meal while they sit on their ass talking to others instantly across the globe about how unfair life is.
The poorest of us lives better than kings of the past.

So yeah i'd rather be right here right now or in the future.
