Ask Lemmy

Remember when Bortus had the holodeck addiction?

Kinda like that.

I can tell you what colour of uniform I wouldn't wear!

Bunny Island!!!

Riza simulation

Simulate a holodeck.

Then simulate myself simulating a holodeck inside that holodeck.

Then...

Well, it'll probably involve tentacles, I can tell you that much.

5 minutes with Seven of Nine

Honestly? The first thought that goes through my head is exactly how strong and responsive the force fields can get. IIRC they can do bullets, as well as the texture and movement of anything normal. So, probably some benchmark involving a bucket of paint I brought in. Start with the paint, then do weird things with the bucket.

Create a Westworld-type environment.

Probably use the processing power for something else.

Insert funny porn joke.

But in all seriousness? A fully immersive, 100% realistic Dungeons and Dragons game with my friends. Exactly the same as we would run it at our table. We'd hop down to the replicators and holo-disguise generators and make ourselves up like our characters, and I'd just follow them around in a spooky mysterious robe and narrate the story.

That's it. I would run the best D&D game ever, the game of a lifetime, for my best friends.

Set myself up as Spider-Man. Its what I wanted to do since I was 7. Then some weird sex stuff.

Fuck simulations of real-life environments, I’d run a fantasy RPG campaign.

Used or new?

Depends on what frame of mind I'm in. In a sufficiently devil-may-care mood, I might try and create a Moriarty. Or better, role play as one.

Or figure out how deeply it's possible to nest holodeck simulations before things get funky.

I could be a Q without any collateral damage. Torment Picard and Janeway. Get punched by Sisko. Roll it all back. Q's done the same.

Be a (male) Mary Sue in any TV show universe I've ever watched and not be judged for poor writing... Although O'Brien did appear to think he could discern sarcasm from the Enterprise computer from time to time.

And of course there's the thing that Riker, Barclay and LaForge, if not a good many of the rest of the crew almost certainly got up to in there... I'd be stupid to think I'd not try that at least once.

There are a lot of good answers, probably some good simulators of things that already exist, programs people have made... I would test the ship's AI/learning capabilities, show it some old photos of my family and of memories past and see if it can recreate things like that. Since I don't have video of these people, I'd have to fine-tune their personalities and I'd have to remind myself I'd always be looking back — being that they aren't real people, I wouldn't be able to ask them about things they don't really know about or anything like that. It would be (more) interesting if we had input from a bunch of people who knew them, to sort of fill out the personality and try to remove biases.

But yeah, I think I'd start by showing it every photo I have of my childhood home and try to go back there, just to see it again.

And yeah, you can kinda/sorta do stuff like that now, there are programs... but that's my answer.

Find some way to jam the door so that no one can ever drag me out.

Play DnD first-person

Infinite downhill MTB track.

See if I can hook it into SteamVR and launch Resonite in there.

Might need some virtual controllers to do menu button stuff, but that should be easy.

I would want to do so many things. I would want to do a ninja warrior type course, but with adjusted gravity or something. I'd make it into a gym with everything I need for my workout. That or maybe recreate a sports stadium and watch football from today, because I missed all of it? The possibilities are endless

Head to Lordran

Lol. Guys come on. It's the first thing everyone would do.

First thing that came to mind was just getting to say bye to my grandpa, who got sick and passed away before I had an opportunity to visit. I know it wouldn't really be him, but I think it would be good for me to be able to get that closure.

After that, I'd probably go do some of the crazy fun stuff other folks are suggesting.

Reese Witherspoon....

D&D adventure complete with magic. Assuming I have a holodeck im already living in space, but if we had the tech and were not in space then after D&D it would be a Star Trek bridge explorer campaign.
