Every time someone mentions an interesting book, I make a note of it. Then a couple times a month, I go back through my notes, pop open a website that shall not be named, snag em all, throw them into calibre-web and sync them down to my ereader. I can get hours of enjoyment from a 1-2MB file, and I love that. Same for older cartridge-format game roms, a N64 rom is generally under 50MB and can keep me busy for days, an NES or GB ROM is usually smaller file size than a book, and some great old DOS games clock in at a handful of MB.
What other great bang-for-the-storage-buck stuff is out there that you enjoy?
DuckTales erotic fanfiction and Z-code files.
It’s like you’re in my head
Soem years ago I played a few hundred hours of Terraria and was always surprised how much enjoyment you could get out of the ~ 30 MB that it was when installed. Don’t know about it today though since it has received quite a few updates since then.
I don’t think it’s got quite as much bang for buck as an ebook or Tetris, but .kkrieger is a first-person shooter with multiple weapons, multiple enemies, multiple levels, sound effects, and music, and only takes up 97,280 bytes of disc space.
Pretty remarkable piece of software engineering.
SD porn.
for music you can get into .MOD files, theres millions online and you can edit them and make your own also. you can also emulate computers like C64 and Amiga for endless fun.
There’s an old game called “total annihilation”, amazing game, I’ve played for probably a couple hundred hours over the years.It’s file size is pretty small too though I can’t remember off the top of my head.
It’s an RTS, there is a more modern version (free I believe) with better QOL and graphics called “Beyond All Reason” though it’s much larger
The most enjoyable passions IMHO is when you unleash your creativity. Write with emacs. Compose music with musescore. Draw with krita. Or, better yet, do it off the screen.
