[Forum Game] 10 Years in the Basement - You are forced to spend 10 years in the basement, you are only allowed to bring certain items to help you on the journey.

7 stock market
6 desktop
4 video games
2 skylight
4 library
6 kitchen

People are really sleeping on the stock market, you are doubling your money if you just put it in an index fund. Considered booze, but without workout equipment you would just get unhealthy. Also I didn't get internet cus of the no streaming, does that mean no youtube as well? If it included youtube I might reconsider so I could still shitpost here.

I chose a lot of stuff that would just give me more lebensraum. For example, I'm not even into trains, but it still gives us an entire warehouse of space.

Gimme a home gym and a desk-rig to do remote work on, and I'm set. If I bring my gf with me, is she allowed to leave for breaks, or is she stuck down there too? If it's the former, I'd just have her bring me shit from the outside world lol

IT's gonna be like The Truman Show but for antisocials who don't leave their room
 
First of all, being forced to spend money on food is gay, the microwave should be included because its a shit option. I pretty much had to pick the kitchen because the other two would have made me want to kill myself. Is it the same for hygiene products? Do I have a shower but no means to wash myself or what. Second, who the fuck watches cable? I would have picked the TV if it had something like every streaming service instead. Third, do the extra people have to live with you or do they come and go like the chefs and doctors. Also if you have a pet how do you care for them. I wouldn't subject a dog to that kind of life if I couldn't take them outside. Do you even get food and vet care for them? There's a lot of shit that made my choices change because some of them suck at face value or are too vague to pick. With that taken into account these are my choices.


Kitchen
Computer
vidya
Train set
Library
Garden
Workshop


Computer and vidya need zero explanation. I would take the Garden so I could grow weed and save points on having every drug when I wouldn't pick it for anything other than weed anyways, you could do the same for tobacco and some of the other drugs. With the workshop you can build a means to distill or ferment alcohol as well. This is all under the assumption they give you whatever you want to grow.

My big play here, is the train set, workshop and library, let me tell you why. You get a big warehouse sized room with the train set but you don't need to build it. This gives you a shit ton more space to work with, and also gives a nice open area to work out so you don't need the exercise room, just use the workshop to manufacture weights if you really wanted to.

When you take into account the library, and workshop. These are so open ended that you could absolutely create almost anything you ever needed over the course of ten years because you have the supplies, tools, and reference material to do so. Which is why some shit is so unbalanced. You can effectively create a lot of the other items just from those choices alone, or at the very least make them much less valuable of a pick. You literally have access to every possible instructional book on using industrial equipment, engineering books with schematics, and nothing but time. You could even make things that aren't on the list if you wanted it, and have the space to put it. EZ Choice.

I just don't think the image is made very well. I'm not a very fun person to talk to about hypotheticals I guess.

yeah, there should be a free 'nutritional paste dispenser or something included in the base load out, possibly some shitty soap/shampoo that is mildly unpleasant smelling too. I think the concept should be you could survive without any points spent if you're some zen master with an iron will. Just meditate, eat your paste, do some push ups and squats and keep relatively clean.

I think it would be fair if any essentials if not paying for other options are basically akin to prison fare. Bare basic meals, no choice, just shit like sandwiches, raw fruits and vegetables, and water, just enough nutrients and calories to subsist on. Hygiene products are all in one hair/body wash for bathing and bar soap to wash your hands or any other purposes, no extras. At least then you would be incentivized to pick the other options. I'd still pick the kitchen tbh because food is important to me, and I'd love an opportunity to cook more and having the time to improve by trying new recipes. As long as I had something that got me clean I don't think I would care after a while.

and for the love of CWC Christ-chan add food and vet visits for your animals and someone that takes them for walks. I don't want all the poor cats and dogs stuck in a basement eating people food. :(

I'll take the $5 million option.

- Kitchen but I'll assume that there's also a microwave inside the kitchen for those nights that I do just want something quick and frozen. 6 points
- Top-of-the-line desktop computer that I'll assume has a Blu-Ray drive so I don't need the television. 6 points
- All movies and TV shows. 4 points
- All videogames (though a lot of the new ones would be useless without Internet due to always-online DRM) 4 points.
- Library and study. 4 points
- Money up front with the stock market 7 points
- Medical care. 2 points
- Satellite Radio (for news and music) 2 points

There should really be a 1 point hygenic products option without the jacuzzi if the shower's included, but I guess I'll just stay hygenic with the shower and toilet, especially if it's a Japanese toilet where you don't need toilet paper and I'll assume the unlimited medical care includes unlimited dentistry for teeth cleaning.

if i really really had to do this and there was no backing out i would take the drugs, the girl, the garden + skylight and the gun
i would have shrooms with the girl and then go to the pretty sunlit garden to shoot myself after we come down

30 points:
18 yo - 18 points;
Barry Bonds - 7 points;
Workout room with a fighting cage - 5 points;

Every day I will work out, then make the girl and Barry fight in a cage for my entertainment and bang the girl during the fighting breaks while Barry watches until I die of starvation because I forgot to spend points on unlimited food.

There should honestly only be 20-30 points to make this a challenge.

I almost went for "Fast food" over "kitchen" but I wasn't sure if "Fast food" included higher-end takeout like Chinese..

Unless otherwise stated it should count if it's something with a drive through, like Panda Express.

According to the Panda Express Canada site, there aren't any Panda Expresses in Canada east of the Toronto area. All of the Chinese restaurants I'm familiar with have take-out counters (many of them don't even have a dining area, just a kitchen and counter) but no drive-through.
