Could you go a full year without playing video games?

you'd be broken beyond repair. so i guess if you're ok with that, you set your family up for generations while sacrificing your own life

>without playing videogames
FUCK YEAH DUDE I HATE VIDEOGAMES

for 30 billion?
hell yeah

I know it'd make me completely lose my mind, but I'd give it a shot. 30 billion dollars is an unreasonable amount of money.

Of I had food and drink maybe. But with absolutely nothing I’d die.

Can i get a sparing partner?

yeah. i'd just spend that whole year masturbating every once in a while and building an entire world, story and characters in my heard, interconnecting them with one another and when i'm out, i'll use all that money to create one of the best games / animated series in the recent decade

i'd practice combos all day

What's the point of playing with these stupid hypotheticals? Are you going to pay me that much? Because I sure will do it

I'm pretty sure you'd go insane. Anyone who claims they wouldn't is full of shit. It's got nothing to do with a lack of video games, per se. There's been similar studies where they've locked people in a similar room with just some Onions for like 72 hours and they already started to lose it. Doing an entire year would absolutely make you cuckoo.

I feel like there's a lot of factors I'd need to know about.
>is there food & drink
>can the lights be turned off for sleep
>is it quiet, or is there any noise or anything
>what guarantee do I have that I'll be let out at the end
>are there facilities to wash, urinate, shit, etc
>what if I'm injured or fall ill

>NOTHING
Not even food and water? Doubt I'd be able to survive a full year then.

I'm going to assume that I get basic human rights shit even prisoners get like food, clothing, bathing and bedding.
Even so, no. Not because of no books, movies, phones and bidya, but because of no pen and paper.
I wouldn't go mad from solitary. I would go mad from not being able to record my ideas.

IS
IS THAT AN ONION
I'M GOING INSAAAANNEEEE

You probably could do a year if you're strong willed enough and could put together some sort of schedule of things you're gonna do, but any more than a year and you'll probably turn into a complete lunatic

>go in a normal man
>come out an insane billionaire
I see no downsides.

1 year is too long. Pretty much anyone would go absolutely mental. People that get put into solitary confinement start losing their minds after just 2 months.

This.

what about toys ?

Failed normalfags pretending like isolation from entertainment is hell because they've been told it's hell.

I could easily spend 365 days imagining a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the ways I could spend 30 billion dollars.

Sorry but the $30 billion counts as income so you gotta pay half of it to the government in taxes :^)

Put me in the cell, Doc.

You will never spend 15 billion though

damn only $15 billion what a waste of time

what about toys baka ?

Oh no, I only have... $15 billion dollars?

Something pretty close, if not worse has been done.

Prisoners say that once external stimulation becomes minimal time starts to speed up so it's not that bad

30 billion dollars!? What makes them think they can get that much?

people who are like "no way i'd go insane"
bitch i'm already insane. give me my 30 billion.

What's the lowest amount of money you'd do it for?

Sure. Id use the time to get started on the Abramelin summoning process. Don't think I'll need the money after that though.

lol you'd go insane EARLIER than the others, plenty of mathematicians went insane without even having to be isolated in a fucking deprivation chamber for a year, you'd be crazy in three weeks.

Would you live in Detroit for 30 million a year?

>from entertainment
It's from EVERYTHING, you fucking retard, not just entertainment. Go try to live for just 2 days without any kind of outside stimulation.

>time starts to speed up so it's not that bad
How could you tell?
You'd be relying on your own internal clock - with no implements to write down or record the passing of time, nothing to indicate when day turns to night, how could you tell how much time had passed?

youtube.com/watch?v=iqKdEhx-dD4

theres not enough cash in the world put me through that for a year.

Yes, as long as I have food and the ability to use my body, as in, I can do exercises. A full year pass like nothing for me now, 5 years ago feels like last year to me.

big difference between attention-seeking, i'm such a unique little boy look at how crazy i am guys insane and actually insane

>hurr durr you’d go insane
You’d get over it.

Easy senpai. Only thing on horizon for me is Darktide and that year should hopefuly be enough for Fatshark to make it playable after rushed release.

maybe 5 mil

Failed normalfags.

about tree fiddy

only if there was a place in it to drink water, eat food, take shits and pisses, and had access to a working clock of some kind to ensure i'm not being fucked with.

You'd probably break down and go insane in a week so no.
You motherfuckers think you are already isolated and that this wouldn't change much and yet you're addicted to getting (you)s from other retards here.

ALRIGHT BOYS, WHERE WE DROPPIN THEM TURDS?

Now of the richest people on earth I'm #114 instead of #40
D:

unless you have the emntal health and will of a monk(which you clearly don't if you end your sentence with "more money than i could ever spend and better mental health than i went in with"), then no it wouldn't be the easiest year of your life
anyone who, writing this online, thinks this would be anywhere close easy has no perception of how much entertainment influences your life(regardless of if it has a positive or negative effect on you) to the point you need it to stay mentally healthy

keep in mind this kind of isolation is much worse than those regular monks go through, as they are still able to be in contact with nature and see others and how they engage in their activities, which to the brain still counts as entertainment(psychologically, it's the same reason some people enjoy looking outside their window while doing "nothing": they're still entertaining their brain with that sight, even leaves moving is enough)

I assume NOTHING means no entertainment of any kind, while basic needs are supplied. Easy peasy

lol only if you a weak bitch
prisoners in America have been forced into similar stuff for a long time where they get sentenced to months in the hole. Usually not a year all at once but that has happened too and worse.
It is torture to be clear but if you knew the situation that you'd be out after 1 year, it could be done a lot easier psychologically vs the endless unknown of being in prison long term.

Hellyeah. They got a bitchin race course there.

t. a weak bitch

He's kinda right. You can't actually tell that time is passing by faster because you don't perceive it, but it does happen.

>In 1961, French geologist Michel Siffre led a two-week expedition to study an underground glacier beneath the French Alps and ended up staying two months, fascinated by how the darkness affected human biology.

>He decided to abandon his watch and “live like an animal”. While conducting tests with his team on the surface, they discovered it took him five minutes to count to what he thought was 120 seconds.

>A similar pattern of ‘slowing time’ was reported by Maurizio Montalbini, a sociologist and caving enthusiast. In 1993, Montalbini spent 366 days in an underground cavern near Pesaro in Italy that had been designed with Nasa to simulate space missions, breaking his own world record for time spent underground.

>When he emerged, he was convinced only 219 days had passed. His sleep-wake cycles had almost doubled in length. Since then, researchers have found that in darkness most people eventually adjust to a 48-hour cycle: 36 hours of activity followed by 12 hours of sleep.

15 billions is still a fuckton of money you dumbass. I would gladly throw 15 billions away if that mwans I still got to keep the other half.

Can I cook my own food? can I eat what i want?

so like... am i getting paid an exorbitantly large amount of money to go to jail or something?

yeah man. I am thinking it would be brutal but if you making exercizing a big part of your day. Focus on developing your singing voice, try to create a full outline for a book or something using your mind. You can possibly get through it stimulating your own mind like that. For 30 billion dollars its probably worth it.

>prisoners in America have been forced into similar stuff for a long time where they get sentenced to months in the hole. Usually not a year all at once but that has happened too and worse.
And I'm sure those people came out well-adjusted.

after 1 year the 30 billion is worth current usd value of 30 thousand because of inflation at this rate so, trick question

>load a bunch of emulators onto a smartphone
>hide it in my ass before entering
GG no re

I'm an author. I make my own entertainment all the time. I came to terms with my mind long ago. This would be easy... BUT... I would demand it was payment AFTER taxing so I get the full $30B.

Do I get food and drink and multivitamins and toilet and shower and clothes and a vent to keep the room getting a new supply of fresh air? Do I get any exercise related material? If these arent involved then you would just die. If you arent getting food and drink you'd be dead fairly quick and since you arent getting sunlight and whatnot you need multivitamins and if you dont have a bathroom you have to shit on floor and that will causes toxic fumes and so on.

Pay a good accountant and he'll make sure you get to keep the full 30

A billion after taxes

I would immediately spray the entire room with feces.

That's easy. 1 year to get my body in shape and meditate. Can even work athletics of any kind without fear of breaking anything with all that padding.
I'm game.

This, it's not even that you have to waste 1 year with nothing, which I could do as well, you get 30 billion dollars, assuring you can do anything, you won't even have enough time after to spend it all so a year to just think about it in preparation is actually good, I just don't like the lack of sunlight and probable bad ventilation in that room.

I'm a millenial btw so I'm responsible for the death of golfing, restaurants, craft beers, kinoplexes, off-country vacations, etc.

Idk roll around the room the room in a ball for the rest of the day I guess.

i would do it as long as i could guarantee that as soon as i enter i cannot back out. then it really doesn't matter how insane i get, 30 billion either way

you get enough to keep your body functioning for a year and nothing more

Not really. You get a bible in solitary. I think they would all start going crazy without being able to read something. And communicate with the two cells next to them.

I unironically would never do this to ANY animal no matter how much money you offered me. I'd rather kill myself.

Sure. Not in that room though, that's going to literally drive you mad in a week and permanently reduce your grey matter. There's a reason prisoners fear the isolation room, it's literally neurotoxic. Vsauce had a cool video where he lived in one of these.

$10M after taxes.

You could give 99% of it away and still not have to work a single day for the rest of your life

this also inflation will be effecting it while you're in there

Assuming you get fed meals and can switch the lights off to sleep

doable.

>Easy peasy
15 days of solitary confinement is concidered torture by most world organizations and that's in the scenario where you're kept in confinement for 22 hours out of a day. This scenario has you locked in the room for a year. Retards like you would break within the first week.

Great, now you have a phone that can play games for 10-12 hours. What are you gonna do for the remaining ~8750 hours?

I think it's assumed that you get basic amenities for surviving but nothing else

the pic said nothing about no entertainment or stimulus, it simply listed a few things you can't bring and then said "nothing" which is a vague statement as no one would physically survive a year without anything. i can keep myself stimulated and entertained without physical tools

I would never believe that someone would have that much money to give but yeah i could go a year not playing games so long as I have a notebook and a pencil

oh yeah that reminds me, I want to try out on of those chambers just once in my life, but my stupid country doesn't have them, wat do?

i don't think a lot of you quite understand how bad actual isolation is for you. if you're thinking "i went a month without leaving the house before this would be easy" you're not quite grasping what you'd go through. or to be exact, not go through

Where is the guarantee that you will get 30 billion?

In solitary you still have human contact, you can still hear outside, you can usually still get reading materials, etc.

All i need is my mind and tissues

>notebook and a pencil
NOTHING

better get used to drawing on the walls with your own shit and blood.

>15 days of solitary confinement is concidered torture by most world organizations
And?
That applies to normal and unwilling people, and we are anything but here user, now are we?

gg no re

OK, ESL. Solitary confinement is remarkably worse for a lot of reasons. First of all you don't know when it will end. Secondly even when it does end you're still in prison. Thirdly there's nothing you get after enduring it. It's this lack of hope that makes the situation hopeless, duh. Having a $30B payday at the end of a year is a HUGE light at the end of the tunnel. People can endure just about anything if there's hope.

This. It's not about "muh entertainment" or "muh imagination", but being cut off from everyone and everything in a room designed to dull perception. Acting like your some hard-ass that wouldn't break just screams "Will break in a week."
I got arrested a while back and had to spend about 24 hours in a holding cell. I had nothing in there except a toilet, a sink, and a bed, and the lights never turned off. I lost all sense of time and when I got out I was already starting to lose it and it was a single fucking day. It cannot be understated what that kind of sensory deprivation does to you.

As long as i have basic amenities that let me survive the 1 year in a all white room, seems doable.
>b-but you're going to go insane
And with 30 billion dollars, of even half of that, i could pay the damn best fucking treatment money could possibly fucking buy. Even then, if i don't get to enjoy the money, imagine all the generations to come after me that will never have to worry a single day of their lives. There simply aren't any real downsides.

>hurrdurr look at my armchair psychology everyone
go suck a dick

I assume at least I can have some food and a bathroom and there's oxygen coming from somewhere, otherwise I'd just die.
Also I'd just practice meditation until I can have lucid dreams on command, then I'd have experiences that surpass videogames or other type of media any time of the day.

I don't need 30 billion dollars. Pretty sure since I'm a plebian normal jackoff who doesn't fuck kids I'd get offed by the rest of the existing billionaires pretty quickly.

The same people going "I CAN DO THAT EASY" are the same people who have a nervous breakdown and don't know what to do when their internet and/or power turns off for a day. A bunch of retards, truly.

Bring it on.
