I’ve got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them.

After that I’d probably bring Star Trek TOS and a MOBI copy of Neuromancer by William Gibson combined with a portable install of VLC and Calibre in case the computer didn’t have applications that support the file format.

What about you?

I wanted to phrase this in a way where it isn’t a prolonged or desert island style question where the responsible idea would be to bring Wikipedia ZIMs and educational PDFs. It’s just an awkward amount of time to kill. The mid 2000s office desktop stipulation is just an additional challenge so you can’t just bring in a copy of Baldur’s Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077.

Edit: By mid 2000s I meant around 2005; the XP or Vista.

    EWR is still my favorite booking sim. TEW is just too much, but ProWrestling Sim on Steam is showing some promise I think.

      I’ve really enjoyed ProWrestling Sim. Have you given it a shot? I never, ever meet people who know what these games are.

        I bought it, but I only have about 9 hours into it so I’m no expert on it, still getting used to it really, part of that “play time” is idle as I do other things while it’s in the background.
