Do you know that the Internet will be turned off, what games will you download for yourself?

I won't download anything. Games have been stored on hard drives since 1982.
Hard drives changed, the interface changed, but my brother and I always transferred the base to new ones. At the moment, the total volume of games and programs is approximately 36 TVs (7 external Seagate drives of 6 TB each, the latter is filled with only 600+ Gig). All the necessary "gadgets" for games like DX, Microsoft Visual C ++ / Java packages and other things are also constantly updated and replenished.
So everything is already there :) from the origins of Arkanoid, Alley Cat, Digger, Shamus... classics like Golden Ax, Doom 2, Civilization 1 to the latest heavyweights like The Witcher, Watching Dogs and other King's Bounty II. Of course, all remasters, reissues are also present ... Dragonborn in general in 3 versions LE, SE, AE.
A separate archive contains all possible mods, fixes and files for games. The size is somewhere around 16 TB (5 external hard drives 4 TB each)

Then these discs of yours will be worth their weight in gold, and maybe thanks to you these games will be distributed throughout the country if there is a direct complete blockade.

There are other discs for this :D . I actively support content piracy on torrent servers in Central Asia and the Caucasus with mining income. Games, popular / popular programs and the remaining volume of the best films. Russia and the CIS countries, which will fall under the restrictions, will not be left without torrents;)
And as for this personal collection of mine, it will seem inferior to many. There is not a single game in it without Russian voice acting. Fans of RDR, GTA and other fully non-localized projects are left behind.
PS So that no one wants to turn the topic into a srach with politoty, nationalism and other insignificant garbage (as is customary here in matters related to full localization), thereby violating the rules of the site, I’ll say right away - I’m a Finn. Born and raised in Finland, I have no roots other than Finnish and Sami. The choice of a foreign language is a personal matter for everyone.

That's cool, I've been saving programs, games, mods, books, music and movies all my life on my hard drives.

probably, first of all, I would download standalone game engines and tutorials and documentation for them, then all sorts of resources. assets possible for anril urgent. programs, in principle, I have always done this, but I have something that I don’t have, where I didn’t under-pump.
and peck-pek games, in principle, you can download all games, including roms and emulators, except for indies, but I’m unlikely to play them and it’s not known what I want to play or not and when. if I have a very limited time and a place somewhere around 2-4tb, then perhaps it will be various AAA open world single captive games of the last 8 years.
but the trend is that for the last few years I have been too lazy to play games and I watched their passage. theoretically I can download a walkthrough but this one will be slow and they will weigh more than the games themselves. I will probably need this one for a year and 40 TB

Board games, stock up on board games - even the most sticky RPGs and strategies get bored over time. And these - never, though like-minded people will be required)

Sweety_Mustard Ooooh
... You can't even imagine HOW this case is tight. The eldest son recently had a booze with classmates in our country cottage. I also attended. By evening, the substation rumbled. It's clear to sit all night without electricity. We have a large supply of candles in the basement since the 90s. The young people followed them. Found this here

About 3 years ago I was explaining Parseval's theorem to some of these guys. God knows, everyone got it within half an hour (some not the first time). But somewhere from 6 pm to 2 am, I still could not explain to them HOW to play this board game! Of the 17 people, only 6 understood. And only 1 of them KNEW about the existence of a computer version of this game. Well, the climax... during the conversation about computer games and board games, 4 people admitted that they hated poker on the dice in The Witcher 2, and three more added to the list with a game of orlog from Valhalla, because it is too difficult to understand the game.

Disconnecting from Steam and similar services will not affect the one who previously put games in their storerooms that suddenly became unavailable.

Just recently I downloaded 1TB with pirates. Some of them are licensed, but just in case. True, the same GOG should be launched without connecting to the Internet. There is also a reserve for Steam in the downloaded form

Orlog difficult? Some sad dudes

BDmitriy
In-in... And I about the same. The most absurd thing is that these same dudes play bridge very strongly. Go understand how their brains work.

There aren't many games like this. Most games are either disposable or boring to the point of horror, and you can endure this only out of great need ... or for money, like all sorts of reviewers.
I would take Morrowind, Fallout 1-2, HoMM 3, Disciples 2, Arcanum, VtMB, Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, Battle Brothers, DS 1&3, SoA, Diablo 1-2, Sacred 1-2, The Battle for Wesnoth, Solium Infernum, KSP, Mistover, PoE 1-2, The Age of Decadence, Baldur`s Gate 1-2, Dragons Dogma, Silent Hunter 3. Only the things that left me with only good impressions. There are no games in the list that are bugged to death and without a bug wiki are completely impassable today, so there are Troika games in it, the fans completed it. But there is no ToEE because it is boring and I just don’t like its mushroom ending. There are no finals and Tales of... in the list, because, in combination with their boring gameplay, their grind spread over hundreds of hours in a thin layer, in one molecule, the plot is forgotten by the middle of the game. Optionally, you can add zhrpg turkeys, by weight,

we had a pirate - "Business 2000", I was 8 years old when I played for the first time, of course my older brother and his sidekick were mercilessly robbed (they were 12 years old) - but the rules were quite clear. Maybe the point is that I ended up in a company that already understood the rules - but they, too, were quite their own children.

Sweety_Mustard
I googled this Business 2000. A kind of monopoly))), apparently a complete Russian localization: D. The French have something similar called "gestionnaire". There are streets and boulevards of Paris, and 4 stations, of course, Saint-Lazare, North, East and Lyon.

I bought it for my child, we played together about two years ago. He is now 10

I found the answer! It’s just that you need to play board games sober - by the way, chess didn’t turn out very good either - the rules probably started to be forgotten XD

Sweety_Mustard
O_o it will be very difficult, given the peculiarities of the national holiday. We (Finns) drink no less than our neighbors, who got the Mannerheim line blown away :D
And chess isn't popular here either. Hockey is another matter. According to the blue, it’s the best thing to play and stand on your feet after the massacre. On a warm winter day, it's best when it's -10 -15 outside. :D

Yes, I watched "Peculiarities of the National Hunt" XD

Well, I don’t know - the Udmurt one looks like it, and I wouldn’t call it complicated at all. And Chinese - how long it will take for one alphabet ...

Emmm .... what O_o?

There is no "future tense" in our language. Listening to Russian, we are both stunned and realize why "you can't make out without half a liter here." There is no gender in our language. Only the pronoun hän is an animate third person, and the pronoun se is an inanimate third person. Trying to deal with your usual "he", "she", "it", our person is stunned even more and at the same time realizes the full depth of the situation "the devil will break his leg." A separate explosion of the brain: why is coffee OH, and wristwatches in the amount of one piece turn into many ???!!! We have a joke on this plural: it’s just that in Russia the first watch was seen while dead drunk. In the eyes, it’s not that doubled, but multiplied.
And, yes, no matter how strange it may seem to you, the Finnish language is extremely primitive. I know how Varthander's players like to piss off ilmatorjuntapanssarivaunu. However, in our nouns and adjectives there is absolutely nothing complicated. Most of them consist of two, three, four words connected in a row. The same ilmatorjuntapanssarivaunu anti-aircraft motorized installation written WITHOUT spaces. This is much easier than "catching up" which adjective will be more literate in a certain text ... In Russian, even such a simple concept as "beautiful" cannot be stuck just like that. You blurt out somewhere, and then it started: they shouldn’t say it like that: beautiful, charming, magnificent, imaginative, charming ... I took this word for an example for a reason. For the first time I was in Russia as a student, in the early 90s. On this topic, my brain jammed when I talked with a fun company. It was they who taught me to feel Russian speech as it is (and how it should be). This makes learning real Russian even more difficult, but it's worth it. Only two or three nouns, their competent use and that's all ... no more racking your brains about which word to choose. Oh...yielding is a universal adjective. Then I was delighted (I didn’t know that this word was unprintable), but then 16 years of painful learning of a language awaited me, in which two or three nouns can form a whole sentence and act as a verb, adjective, pronoun ... Well, the alphabet. .. :( of our entire alphabet, only the letter "h" is a difficulty for Russian. But when ours tries to pronounce words with "b", "b", "s" you can stock up on popcorn. It will take weeks to pronounce tolerably the words "blizzard", "porch", "herring" (this is torture!) or "Syktyvkar" (hellish torture). But for those who know Russian, double consonants abound in Finnish (and double vowels, of which we also have a lot) more easily.
