Mine is playing AOE2 in easiest (or standard if I want a bit of challenge) mode against 3 bots. I just build my economy, wall up (and laugh at the enemy soldiers attacking my walls in vain), reach imperial age and attack once my army reaches the population limit. I also send 104 in the chat so they don’t surrender and I can enjoy razing their all buildings one by one. If any of them builds a castle, even more fun. A build a trebuchet and watch it raze the castle from a safe distance. If there is sea, after I am done with the land, I build 3 docks, do research and build a navy and hunt down ships around the unxplored sea. It is fun, satisfying and relaxing.

What is yours?

    Could you go into detail, even just privately, that seems like a solid use for some otherwise idle storage space.

    Then again, the only part of being a scout (boy) that stuck with me involved fire or survival methods, and to always be prepared is a good maxim.

      Assuming you are talking about Wikipedia here. It is pretty straightforward at the most basic level. So much so in fact that Wikipedia has a page dedicated to it.

      I use Python on a scheduled job on my Windows PC to update it every so often, but you could setup a cron job in any job scheduling software for whatever OS you are using to do it. There are even ways to do it on your phone. I am only doing text currently, but I will likely so images and videos for certain knowledge domains in the future. Articles in fields of Math and Engineering rely heavily on them for illustrating (duh) the concepts.

      If you are talking about the emergency download of all of the mods for Factorio and Rimworld, that I still need to research some. I was planning on just using the check all and download inside Factorio’s in-built mod manager. Rimworld I will probably have to see if an api exists for the Steam Workshop and build off that.
