My dad is cancelling the internet and TV because he can't afford it and he doesn't use it.

I don't blame him, but I need a list of offline games/things to do that I can torrent before it shuts off. I only have a week to build a supply that will last me till 2017 since that's when I'll be moving out.

Any recommendations would be great. Otherwise I'm going to be very, very bored.

>get a job and pay for your own cable
He won't let me at his house. I have a job, but he doesn't want to be responsible if I lose it/can't pay for it. And cancellation fees are a bitch as he just realized.

Thanks, I think I'll download the entire Elder Scrolls games.

So you either don't have a real job right now or you're currently without skills?

You wasted money going to uni unless you're at a top tier school with a clear pipeline. I did 70k after 1 year in my trade after the first year, you fucked up by being passive and now you and your family are fucked.

I bet you wouldn't even support them if you could.

The whole reason your shit profession exists is thanks to those who yearned for higher education. Quit undermining history and acting like you actually did everything on your own, because the impact you've made is minimal compared to the amount of help you've had whether directly or indirectly.

70k was my first year income, that's not a constant. College really is for the retards now days.

Made 6 figs by year two, my trade in high CoL areas gets even more stupid. All trades do though, just little betas like you want to stay poor.

1. Download Dolphin Gamecube and Wii emulator. Download the three major Zelda games (Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword) and whatever other Gamecube / Wii games you want

2. Download Project64 and whatever N64 games you want

3. There's a PS2 emulator, PCSX2, I've never used it but I think it's meant to be pretty good, so you could get that and whatever PS2 games you want

4. Go for other old classic consoles if you want, like SNES and Sega Genesis.

5. Download whatever decent PC games you can run.

>>337182714
I mean, I've worked in construction, and in a laboratory.
But I've been working as a cashier for right now.
So I do have skills, I've just been focusing on school. It's not a top tier school, but you don't need a top tier school to get far. Just having a popular name will do well.

And yes, you could say I've been quite passive, I get enough scholarships and grants to help fufill my pay in school and around the house.

But when I land my job at Medtronic. And I go from making 15k a year to 125k my first year.
I'll be able to support my family and my best friend's family.

Most of all, I won't be as bitter as you are. And me and my girlfriend will live happily while you shitpost on the internet.

Keep going with that trading though, if it works for you. No sense in fixing what's not broken.

Uhm get a job and pay for internet but how retarded is your dad.

You need internet for mail, to apply to jobs, news, entertainment and a lot of fucking things.

Anyways assuming your not trolling. I dont know if you can do this but someone correct me.

All you have to do is go to the library or somewhere with decent wifi. And download games or media to your extended harddrive. From there transfer files to your PC deskptop when you get home.

And how you can you leave in 2017 with no job starting now. Like dude everything costs money.

Ah right didn't know that. I loved my PSP back in the day. And I played emulators on that too, mainly Genesis for the Sonic games and also Pokemon on the GBA emulator.

Best PSP games I played were the GTA ones (they're alright, although the games they're derived from - GTA III and Vice City - are obviously way better). And also Monster Hunter Freedom 2 which was like some big Japanese game that I downloaded.

Yea a girl who loves you on that cashiers status? Bullshit your prolly a cuck or your girl cheats with you the cute 17 cute year old Bagger Boy at your job with a nice car that his parents bought him.

You wont make 125k a year with a degree. You wont just land those jobs right out of college. Youll make 40 to 50 and years down the road 125. Assuming you move up in the company. Maybe you get stiffed and end up capping out like everyone usually does at 60 to 70 at age 50 and start buying stupid shit to feel important.

What bullshit do you tell yourself?
>>
>>337184318
>me and my gf will be happy with my guaranteed 125k a year starting job at 22
kek, yet still you're earning less than a two years tradesman.

If you want to get to the gf angle seriously it's hilariously how many dudes you cuck in trades, girls love a guy with tools that makes more than her bf.

I did have one guy recently scream at me to fuck his wife in the ass though which got really weird really quick.

>>337184437
Not really, a lot of guys in my industry command more and a lot command less due to their skills. I was in IT before so it's nor surprising I'm technically skilled, meanwhile good sales guys command the same as me off sales skills alone.

Been there man,
-For sheer quantity of playtime, here's some games that got me through some rougher times:
Mount and Blade Warband is good shit tons of mods.
-Total War series will do you well to. Rome, medieval 2, Attila, and Shogun 2 are what you should look at.
-Bethesda game(s) of your choice. They're sgit, but there's not mucb better for killing time.
-Star Wars Empire at War. It's old, but it's solid with, again, a huge mod library
-Terraria/Minecraft. Quantity is key.
-Not most people's interest, but whichever ArmA game that your pc can run. ArmA is at it's best multiplayer. But the scenario editor is fantastic and you can kill a lot of time figuring out how to use it, and then using it to make missions to run through

And, of course whatever porn you like.

Im not the dude who talks about trade crafts and shit.

The only way you actually get those jobs is to be the son of a trade worker to have worked in those jobs since you were a teen and by the time your 30 be making serious money as a trades master. But thats based on neopotism and hard work.

But besides that a degree is way more useful. Just not 125k starting pay useful.

Im the duse whos calling you an idiot for beliving in a 125k starting out of college. Especilaly for groccery boy.

The insults about your GF were a little overtop. However you mentioned making her happy and the delusional idea you entertain of 125k a year really makes me think your a cuck or/and delusional.

Fo you have a psp? If so have custom firmware installed and play psp and older games on it. Because its portable you won't have to worry about having a tv and a bunch of cables to deal with.

My dad owned a shit load of grocery stores and I never knew him.

Started my trade slightly over 2 years ago after getting out of IT, only a small part was neopotism which can be summed up as the guy who got me into my trade being able to connect me to other shops.

That being said you seem like a normal hard working guy, I just want to point out the fact that money is available here.

I made far less as a network engineer.

Hmm. If you really need internet after you download your stockpile, do you have a public library that has publicly accessible computers? You might be able to use those.

In terms of recommendations, I'd go for some good long RPGs, for example, DQVII and Xenoblade Chronicles. Also try pic, it's not too long but it's excellent.
