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.

If the content I have was guaranteed to entertain me, several lifetimes. Picked up a few megatorrents of books, even at 1 book a day I'd take decades to blow through it. Knowing my luck I'd get completely bored of most of them in mere weeks/months. Now video games could potentially last me a decent amount of time, got a ton of games fully downloaded, and some of them could be drawn out for hundreds or thousands of hours if played to completion. I've also got a lot of manuals for learning stuff, which could drag things out for a lot longer as I attempt to master something and then utilize it (programming).
