I don't have an answer for you (other than outright changing the system time, but I'm sure you're after a more elegant solution). I'm really curious about these circumstances though - why would the developers do that?

Yeah, before 2000 would make sense. Before 2038 would make sense. But specifically May 2020? That feels like an intentional choice to me... but why?

Right? That's a super arbitrary number that has to be intentional.

I would have thought OP wanted an achievement in The Stanley Parable (5 years without playing), but they'd need to redo their math in that case...

This might actually make the most sense, or at least something along those lines.

You can look up the man page for date. I'm not sure if that'll do, but it's pretty easy. Something like date --set="1 MAY 18:00:00" as root.
