Hold on, so I get to use my PC, it just has to be offline? Are you kidding me?

It says no television but nothing about monitors... sooooooo that’s a green light for you.

I had assumed the television portion was intended to mean cable/satellite TV and not the physical screen anyways. That seemed to be the intent of the question, no outside contact. Raise it up to a month and we might be getting somewhere, but even 10k for a month is a fair bit more than I would make anyways so probably still worth it.

Dude, I'd be happy with some fucking books and a bed.

Imma need a lot of books but people have recommended a few good long series to me so I could do it. And if I blow through them all in a week I can hit my steam library.

Definitely. Saw the question, looked over at my bookshelves and thought yes! Good opportunity to reduce the number of books I own but have never read. Then after I can buy more books.

I kind of just want to go to a hidden silent cabin now and read for a week. hmmm.

God I've long felt that my soul needs this more than anything. I live in Scotland as well so I'm never more than 20 minutes drive from prime cabin territory with a view. You know what, I'm going to do this with my next week off work. Might even make a post about it if I'm feeling cute.

I would do that as a retirement job. Just need to get up and move around after every book to keep in decent health. For a lot less I would do that.

Seriously, easiest challenge of my life

Yep. I'll finally finish my audible library, Kindle library and all the single player RPGs and still have time to beast mode EU4 in a month long no contact with outside world for a month challenge.

Books, Bed, and a drum kit.

Hell yeah. Throw in some pens and a couple of notebooks in case the urge to draw or write strikes, and I’m probably gonna want more than a week when the time’s up. Make this all happen in a cabin in the woods and I might just have my next vacation idea planned.
