I can't remember the last movie I watched, so I'm going with Peacemaker, and Fallout 4.

Totally doable with mods.

EDIT: No big surprise, I guess:

So lots of hanging out with Aristotle at his gym.

Shutter Island and Stardew Valley... oh god

[–] lonefighter@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

That actually sounds like an interesting combination

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh wow!!

It would be Alien Nation and Cyberpunk 2077.

Which would mean the world is probably just be Cyberpunk 2077/Grand Theft Auto in the future.

Also Keanu Reeves would be a Rockstar Eco Terrorist, who played a mean guitar!

Bloodborne and Idiocracy which is kind of cursed.

The Sixth Sense and Big Walk. An open world exploration game where you and your friends see dead people and help them solve their problems so they can finally rest. Also,

Tap for spoileryou’re dead too but you don’t know until you beat the game.

[–] ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Star Trek and Crusader Kings, so I just reinvented Battletech but with Klingons

Well I just finished binging a season of Ted Lasso and the last game I played was Balatro.

I don't believe it! After an abysmal first half, Richmond will be walking away with a win today, scoring 1,780,560 points in the final minute of the game! That secures their position and they'll be going on to play Man City in the next blind, where goalies will be debuffed!

Baldur's Odyssey.

The Matrix and Shogun Showdown. The Matrix universe but set in the Edo period of Japan with samurai and shit? Sign me up

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I would absolutely watch Leslie Neislon in monster hunter

[–] early_riser@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Movie: project Hail Mary. Game: Mina the Hollower.

Result: IDK

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Factorio and Project Hail Mary.

...and that's how the Factorio expansion "Space Age" was born.

[–] audrbox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Really really sad and gay (I Saw The TV Glow + Final Fantasy 14)

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Project Hail Mary and Halo: Campaign Evolved. So, uh, just Halo I guess, only replace the grunts with Rocky.

[–] dmir@gehirneimer.de 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There actually might be no war at all, because some things make warfare between these two species that much more difficult.

Behind the spoiler are details from Project Hail Mary, so if you're planning on reading/watching it yourself, best not to look there.

Spoilers

  • There is a massive difference between Earth's and Erid's atmosphere requiring so much preparation and war engineering from either party
  • That said, Rocky was able to make a sort of a spacesuit that worked extremely well, at least in the Hail Mary spaceship's atmosphere (which wasn't 1:1 earthlike, I believe)
  • That suit was made out of Xenonite, which is a substance Earth cannot compete with, probably making damn good armor
  • Earth has little to nothing to survive Eridian atmosphere in warfare circumstances: no material or tech that can be used for a spacesuit here, certainly not in the amounts for planetary combat, especially given the air supply that would be required

Either side's troops seem so fragile in the enemy condition and so unconquerable on their own turf.

Honestly, Earth and Erid could make formidable allies more than anything, because a war between the two would be very stalemate-y attrition-type deal.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There is a massive difference between Earth's and Erid's atmosphere

Grunts breathe METHANE, that's why they wear the masks and backpacks... and explode if you shoot them in the right spot.

[–] dmir@gehirneimer.de 1 points 2 days ago

I was thinking of the pressure difference and a spacesuit that allowed enough dexterity to do combat.

And again, with Xenonite, shooting it even in the right spot is kinda too tricky for the terrans.

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Who would want to shoot rocky

[–] early_riser@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh no not Rocky :( I’m still amazed they managed to make a headcrab made of stone endearing.

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Slay the Spire and Secondhand Lions.

Oddly sensical. Obviously it'd just be Walt (and maybe Jasmine) navigating a horrible gauntlet of traps set by the Uncles to win their heart.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Or the entire Spire would be the story the uncles are telling Walt, from their perspective having experienced it in their younger days. Then Walt follows in their footsteps and after he completes the third run, they find The Heart hidden away in the barn cellar, instead of piles of cash, and they all go down to fight it but Jasmine comes to save them from certain death.

Then Walt's mother comes back with a CPS worker and they take him away, and arrest the uncles for child endangerment. Roll credits.

Legally Blonde 2 and Space Engineers sooo... Legally Blonde Space Engineers?

Not really sure how to add legal battles to a space sandbox though.

Donnie Darko and Final Fantasy 14. The Shadowbringers expansion would kind of fit the mood.

[–] ChaosCatWitch@feddit.online 3 points 1 week ago

That might be quite a mix, as someone who has seen Donnie Darko and is a huge fan of it.

[–] MissingInteger@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Dark Souls III x Stargate

[–] pound_heap@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Rouge Trader von Volancius returning back in time over and over again to the same dining hall to pick a team that can stop a sentient AI from emerging and enslaving Humankind Empire in virtual reality.

Actually, this looks like a valid Warhammer 40k plot.

Project Hail Mass Effect. Very spacy, lots of aliens.

[–] CyberneticOwl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The Man From Nowhere + Slime Rancher...so seedy underworld trafficking anthropomorphic slimes?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Watchmen x Splatoon is a very uhh interesting combination

Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak and...Conquest (1983)

i dont even want to think about what that would look like 😂

[–] ChaosCatWitch@feddit.online 3 points 1 week ago

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Deltarune.

Hmmm... that would be a most triumphant idea.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Balatro and the odyssey

Might make some interesting jokers

[–] Toes@ani.social 3 points 1 week ago

Tom Clancy's: Your Name

An coming of age action story about a CIA double agent from the jungle trying to prevent the end of the world in the body of a teenage shrine maiden.

[–] weirdbeardgame@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Spiderman and walkabout mini golf.

... I feel like the punisher's fort, house, thing would be an entertaining course.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

Denzel Washington from The Equalizer would be absolutely kicking ass in an Asphalt Legends-type driving game. I could handle that!

[–] nimble@feddit.online 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The God of Cookery and, uh, The Witcher. Hmm, well, the main character (in God of Cookery) does turn out to be an incarnated deity (the kitchen god), and that does track with stories about Geralt's exploits, so perhaps someone tried to hire him to go after Chow (instead of the assassin in the film?) and of course Geralt finds that there's no good reason and maybe even helps him, although Chow doesn't need the help (he gets plenty from his other new friends). Now I'm thinking about Geralt encountering the 18 Brass Monks of Shaolin Monastery trying to get Chow out so he can get to the cooking competition on time lol. I guess the best way to explain how Geralt ended up in 1990's Hong Kong is teleportation accident.

Alternatively, Chow in the world of the Witcher... I don't think that would be quite as entertaining. I would prefer to put Geralt in the world of The God of Cookery.

50 people play non-stop killer sudoku. Three mistakes gets you shot. The last person still playing gets a gajillion dollars and one wish.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Fellowship of the Ring and Cyberpunk 2077. I think Saruman and his industrialization of the Forest of Fangorn could make for some nice tie-ins to cyberpunk's story.

[–] homik@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across Outer Worlds. I'd buy that for a dollar.

The wicker man (old one), and Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era... 🤔

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

Odyssey and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Could definitely see Odysseus stumbling across a titan and travelling to Elysium.
