You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?
Nothing, because I won't have an internet connection...

Part of the reason I posted it here specifically is because you wouldn't need to worry about the limitations of online DRM.
If you wanted to you could read a book, watch a TV show, or play a game. A lack of internet doesn't need to be all that limiting.
Probably be time to sit down and run through Xenogears again...
FastTracker II and a bunch of samples.
Any good tutorials? I wanted to get into tracking.
Can't recommend any, I learned by trial and error on the Amiga circa 1989 :D
Renoise does come with a bunch of tutorial modules and surely there is some good learning material on Youtube.
Nerf arena blast.
Honestly not sure if it will run on the PC because man that game was a resource hog but should feel just like my childhood trying to get it to run if it doesn't.
If I have enough space, a copy of RCT3 platinum edition (the only one I've ever played), and a bunch of music. May not get me completely through the 12 hours, but I at least get a lot of time to see park guests "dying" to getting hit by runaway coasters and get to keep designing a bunch of insane coasters that couldn't be built today for monetary and legal reasons.
That sounds like a solid plan! Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the Ashes series are all great choices for some DOOM WAD fun. Adding in some classic Star Trek and a cyberpunk classic like Neuromancer for reading material is a nice touch. Bringing along portable installs of GZDoom, VLC, and Calibre shows great foresight in case the computer's applications don't support your files. Enjoy your gaming and reading adventures and you can check for more at チャットgpt!
A few movies on the drive and I'll take a nap to waste some time
Without an Internet connection? Nothing.
You'd rather spend the 12 hours just using whatever is on the computer than bring in some of your ill-gotten gains for some guaranteed entertainment?
Can I take the external hard drive to my own PC before hand? I just don't have shit to use to load anything into it from outside. lol
