I got 1000 games, 200 of which are GOG offline installers.

Nothing but food and bills now as I wait for it all to collapse.

While I'll believe that you have solid storage longevity, prepping for societal collapse by archiving 1000 video games seems kind of unorthodox.

Hey, having access to entertainment is actually pretty damn important. What you gonna do to pass the time?

Though honestly, wasting the limited power someone would have after the grid fails on gaming isn't the brightest of ideas.

Not to mention, after the collapse, free time will basically be a rare luxury. Your entire time would be taken up by surviving and maintaining your ability to continue to survive, especially if you aren't preconfiguring a community support network for when shit hits the fan and just going the "lone prepper" route.
