With the backlog of movies, TV shows, books, video games, and so on you have downloaded how long do you think you could stay entertained without internet access?
Let’s say if there was another quarantine and you were stuck at home.
This is mostly targeted at people who consider themselves data hoarders.
Not a datahoarder so Umm… 0 days. I tend to have blind faith in the internet not failing, and with how many computers there are in the world, some one must have saved some content, right. We could always rebuild the internet, right? RIGHT? But if it does happen, if the internet does collapse, welp shit I guess I have some writing to do, my writing project haven’t been touched for weeks. My worldbuilding would entertain myself for sometime, I guess…
For video games alone, a lifetime. I have essentially complete ROM sets for everything through sixth generation consoles, and a wide variety of newer stuff (a full Wii set minus the obvious shovelware, a selection of the better PS3/Xbox 360 exclusives).
For movies, not quite as much. I’m mainly an emulation hoarder (who had to buy a bigger NAS because my ROMs were crowding out my family’s music and video files), but we have 10-15TB of movies, TV and music laying around.

Is your collection pretty high res? I’ve got a decent collection but try to keep to 480p so I can have more shows and games on standby
while I have very few things pirated, rimworld and stellaris alone could sustain me for a year at least without getting bored, also I could alternate between games to avoid boredom, rimworld and stellaris, those games have a lot of depth, so I could spend ages getting bored of every scenario, difficulty, also I am just not bored very quickly.
I would say a long time. I have hundreds of games from every system since the snes to current pc games. I can play the Elder scrolls and the fallout series for hundreds of hours before touching any other game. I have the lord of the rings extended trilogy, the hobbit, all of the Harry Potter movies(fuck jk Rowling) . All of the starwars movies. Every single Pixar movie. All of futurama, all of adventure time. All of Daria. Seasons 1-3 of spongebob. All of housemd . All of bones. All of hey Arnold. Like 150gb of music. Over 100 books a lot of which are entire author’s work in a single file. I’d say probably 2 years or so (also a lot more porn than I’m willing to admit)
